This she-cat has quite the coat of fur. She is a blue lynx point, which means she has a blueish color that darkens as it gets closer to the center of her face. There are a few unique marks around her face that make it positive that she is of lynx heritage. Her legs are a blue color as well that darkens as it gets closer to the bottom of her paws. These markings on her legs come with intricate lines near the top. Her ears and tail take on this blue point trait as well. Her main fur color is a very dark cream that shares a resemblance to wet sand by a beach shore. The only thing that breaks away from the blue point trait is the small black splotch near her right eye. Takara calls this her "birthmark". 

Above all, Takara has a slender, lithe build. She has medium length, thick fur that is smooth and sleek. She is quite tall compared to most cats, and her ears are long as well. She has high stamina due to a large chest. This she-cat's face is almost similar to the shape of a circle, but is a bit of a triangle at the bottom, like that of a teardrop or heart. Her eyes are almond shaped, and are almost perpetually locked in an icy gaze. Takara's tail is slightly longer than an average tail, but there is nothing noticeable about it at first glance. Her almost-dainty facial features give her a sort of cold beauty, one that would be a combination of darkness and grace.

 Takara has lost much weight due to depression developed from both her mother and the events going on in her life. She is so thin it is unhealthy, and her eyes seem to look much larger than usual. Her beauty is lacking, so she tries to hide herself from view. This has also made her weak in strength and endurance. She hasn't lost this much of her beauty ever, and it humiliates her wholly. 

A trait that many remember about Takara is that of her eyes. Her gaze is so unique and cold that cats are easily mesmerized. She stares intently at someone to get their attention. Although she seems to think she is doing so, won't be hypnotizing anyone anytime soon! Cats who are smart enough know not to fall for her mind games. Her eye color itself is a striking hazel-brown.

 Due to the nervous tick that seems to go off in Takara whenever someone gets close, her eyes now dart warily back and forth naturally. They also have the tendency to take on a somewhat insane gaze when she is in battle. Her scent is now completely that of WaterTribe, with the slight tang sawdust.

-Descriptive-

Takara is faster than the average cat. She could outrun one cat but two or three would be a challenge. She is pretty good at catching prey. Takara would have average speed but she pushes herself beyond her limits.  Because of Takara becoming thinner her speed has greatened. 

-Visual-

 

-Descriptive-

Her stamina is very high. She could run for a long time without getting exhausted. This is one of her best statistics. But remember, just because she has high stamina does not make her energetic. 

-Visual-

 

-Descriptive-

Takara couldn't push something half as heavy as her very far. She isn't strong at all. But unfortunately, it's the price she has to pay for amazing stamina and agility.  Takara is now very weak and lacking in strength. She instead uses her sharp tactics and claws to lure in and destroy her enemy instead. 

-Visual-

 

 

-Descriptive-

She can hop, skip, and jump over her own size, and she can literally "weasel her way out" of many things. This makes her a hard target to hit for foes.  Her skinnier frame has affected her in many ways. It now makes her able to slip into the tiniest of holes.

-Visual-

-Descriptive-

It's really slightly more than a 50-50 chance when Takara attacks. Maybe a 60-40. In general, she hits more than she misses. But if she is overwhelmed, forgets to compose herself, or she is outnumbered, she can make the chances a 50-50, maybe lower.  Takara has been honing her ability to sink her claws into a foe. Her attack is now better than it ever was before. 

-Visual-

-Descriptive-

Takara has no mercy. She is vicious, snakelike, and ferocious. She will tear anything or anyone apart that gets in her way. She had worked so hard to earn back the mercy that was lost before, and now it has been lost again. 

-Visual-

-Descriptive- 

Takara has good attack. That was the reason she was made a warrior of the Water Tribe. But she has very poor defense. She has a light frame, so she can be tossed around lighter than a "sack of potatoes". (More like a sack of feathers!) Her skin breaks very easily, and she has bruises quickly after a fall or even a cuff on the ear. Takara inherits this trait of why her body is sensitive to trauma from her father's side.  She now hides herself from any physical contact.

"My piercings are hard to ignore, but so are my flower petal cuffs."

Piercings 

Takara has a silver-black stud in each of her ears, near the bottom. She says they are made of obsidian. No one dares to ask her why she has them, for there is a scar on her right ear that starts behind the earring and then goes to the far right of her ear. 

The cuff itself was made of cedar wood bark, strapped tightly to Takara's front left leg. Daisy petals are shoved into the cuffs. The petals are blood red, yet some of the edges are white. It is a horrid mystery how she got the flower petals, but she dare not say.  She gave the second cuff to her friend, John.

 | loyal | 

Although this trait might seem ironic, Takara will prove its irony wrong. After living with nothing to believe in as an exile, she is grateful to have something to live for, and something to die for: her tribe. She will show constant support to them through thick and thin. Even if it means something bad to her, if it will help her tribe, she will do so. This is what makes her dependable at what she is- a warrior of Water Tribe- not who she is- a former exile come back to the tribes. Even though she should try to find someone who will be thankful for who she is, Takara is very content with that fact her tribe treats her as an equal among them. This is another reason she sets her trust in stone for Water Tribe. As a younger cat, she had an aching deep inside her that she had to make her mark in stone for something, and now, her hunger will be satisfied.  Her loyalty has grown immensely ever since she has proved her worth other tribe. 

 | intelligent | 

Like said before, she was born with much intelligence. She originally received this trait when she was very young, which helped her learn how to survive on her own. It has only grown stronger as she has gotten older and has decided to live with a tribe, where she can apply it not only to her own needs but her tribe's needs as well. Whenever Takara learns something new, she thinks of how she could apply it to her daily life, like in battle or hunting or if she is ever in a fix. She loves these so-called "riddles", and encourages others to test her superior thinking skills. This will also help her use her skills in the tribe correctly, wether she be born with them or gains them as a tribe cat. She learned to hone her knowledge and thinking skills as an exile, where she had much time to herself (see backstory). She can easily learn something new and mimic the move or piece of advice until she has it down by memory. This intelligence is applied to many things in Takara's life, such as battle tactics and giving advice (if you're willing to take it.) It will help her make choices with meaning in them in the future. Hopefully in the moons to come she will use her skill for good and not evil. 

  | stoic |  

Takara now has completely masked her emotions with a face of obvious stoic. She refuses to tell anyone about how she feels, let alone shows it on her face. She won't even express sadness in the night, as she used to. She just continues to sit, expressionless, waiting for something good to happen in life. 

  | depressed |  

_{"My life isn't worth living anymore... I just don't think I can go on much longer."} 

Takara jeopardizes herself with this dangerous and suicidal thinking. She thinks that as long as she's blind, she's useless, ignorant, and mad. You will often find Takara in a dark and desolate corner, looking off into the distance, a cat who has forgotten all true purpose of her life. This also makes her drown in her own self-pity, which is usually the topic of conversation she chooses to use in conversation, usually with herself.

| cold |

If there is something Takara isn't good at, it's dealing with another cat's feelings. She can't stand when someone pours out their feelings to her. She'll leave the area and try to clear her head if a cat tries to, or Takara will ignore you and pretend she didn't hear you. She thinks that since it isn't her business, she shouldn't have to listen to another's miserable life. She doesn't think it should affect her. Her cold nature has come partially from being alone all the years as an exile, and also from the lack of attention her parents gave her. If you want Takara as a shoulder to cry on, you've come to the wrong place; she's a stone-hard freezing cold shoulder that provides no certain comfort for your own needs or sympathy. She doesn't even like to offer advice in times like this. Takara's cold nature also gives her a dark aura. She is usually merciless, and won't stop until her enemy is defeated. This could range from seriously hurting a cat to killing them (does not usually happen), or just making them feel guilty in the end. Takara does not show her emotions clearly; This is what makes her beauty a dark, mysterious one. She lacks the shown feelings to feel sorry for others. She hates to sympathize and to be sympathized. Try not to point out her emotions, or you will clearly regret it.
