BABY, DON'T HOLD ME UP
I CAN STAND MY OWN GROUND
NAME... Ivysong
AGE... 38 Moons
GENDER... Female
CLAN... Lionclan
POSITION... Deputy
SPECIES... African Lion
APPEARANCE...Alike the majority of the Lion species, Ivysong has a sleek, short coat. She is a mix of browns, oranges, tans, and whites. The fur under his belly is lighter in tincture and much softer to the touch. Her eyes are a beautiful green, like the color of ivy leaves. She is perhaps one of the most physically beautiful felines around. Her moves are lithe and graceful. Don’t let this fool you; the female is completely capable of killing. Her muzzle is powerful and blunt, arming the lioness with a fatally strong bite. Her ears are round and are often lying against her skull instead of being pricked. Her tail is very long and slender; used mainly for balance.
Ivysong is most certainly not the largest cat in her clan. She is built with a sleek, powerful frame, every inch of her body wired with muscle; although she maintains a slender appearance. Her legs are long and lithe, ending in large paws. Her claws are abnormally long and sharp; easily able to rake flesh apart with one swipe. It is evident she was built for raw strength, endurance, agility, and accuracy. She is a redoubtable combatant in battle, a perfectly put together killing machine. Despite her delicate appearance, she is dreadfully strong, with a bite capable of crushing bones. It would be foolish to challenge her.
PERSONALITY...Intelligent: While she might not be the largest lion in the clan, Ivysong is a very smart creature. She is strategic, cunning, and straight up brilliant. This lioness is very skilled at making bargains and negotiations, and is extremely gifted when it comes to manipulating enemies. She’s got a smooth, charismatic tongue that can soothe all ears and make any deal sound perfect. She is also very wise and is helpful when others come to her for help. She is known for her talent to analyze situations and coming up with an effective solution.
Protective: Ivysong absolutely loves her clan. She will go to immense lengths to protect every member and make sure they are free from harm. If any cat were to attempt to harm one of her “family” members, she wouldn’t hesitate to stand between them and fight off the assailant. She has little –to no- tolerance for those that make an effort to hurt those she loves.
Patient & Forgiving: Ivysong has a very maternal side to her; this meaning that she loves each and every one of her clan cats like they are family. She is incredibly patient when others cross her and will not lose her temper --- something that balances out Blackstar’s short fuse. Don’t think for one second this female is a pushover. She’s won’t put up with disrespect, nor will she let herself be taken advantage of. She’s has a very strong mind and a solid will. However, if you do something to hurt her, you can be forgiven with a sincere apology. Ivysong does not hold grudges.
Trustworthy: Ivysong is a very trustworthy lioness. She doesn't like to lie, or tell any kind of untruth. She honestly has a golden soul, and aches to do what is right. If circumstances absolutely call for it, she may skate around the surface of words, but she won't ever tell an outright lie. She can be trusted with absolutely anything. She will never reveal another’s secret, not even if she’s threatened with death.
Courageous: Ivysong does not fear death or fighting. In fact, she’s very skilled at it. She will face any evil or challenge with a straight face and heart of steel. She fears nothing.
HISTORY...Ivysong, along with her three other brothers, were the result of a very, very unholy liaison between a rogue male and a Lionclan female: Icarus and Greystorm. Icarus was able to seduce the Greystorm and convince her that he loved her so that she would comply with his wishes. Icarus was not very interested in establishing an emotional connection with the female; he simply wanted to revel in the pleasures of the flesh. He didn’t even think about what consequences could result from such a congenial action --- though he soon found out.
Greystorm came to her beloved one night with tears in her eyes. Not truly caring about what the wench thought, he raped her and turned to leave. The lioness stopped him with the two words any male dreads: “I’m pregnant.” The male’s first reaction was anger, though he quickly realized the danger of the situation. In panic, he told Greystorm to go on with the pregnancy and keep the identity of the father a secret from her clan mates. She was successful in her attempts, shocked when Icarus didn’t return throughout the entire duration of her pregnancy to visit her. She gave birth to three males and one female: Sandkit, Silverkit, Firekit, and Ivykit (named for her eyes that were the color of ivy leaves). They were a happy family until the cubs were about three months old. Greystorm had taken her cubs out to play away from camp. Ivykit, being the most adventurous of the litter, was out exploring a good ways from where her siblings and mother were playing. In her absence, her mother and brothers were discovered and killed by Icarus in anger before he fled; feeling as if his revenge had been spent. The very young cub returned to her entire family with their throats ripped out. Devastated and fearful, she fled. She reached her clan camp and was soon taken in by one of the Queens: Icefang.
Icefang raised her as if the young cub had developed in her own womb. She loved her and taught her the ways of the clan. When Ivykit was old enough, she was given her apprentice name (Ivypaw) and was trained. She became a warrior very quickly, earning the “song” ending of her name because her notoriously beautiful singing voice. She showed amazing leadership qualities and was soon appointed to deputy of Lionclan.
