Name: Tango
Clan: Loner
Position: n/a
Age: 25 moons
Gender: She-cat
Peltage: She is a fiery ginger color, with amber and golden hues not unlike a fire throughout her pelt, and one white paw. It is an unusual and beautiful pelt color to have, but it makes hunting inconvenient, so she often has to chase her prey. This makes her slender, lithe, and fast. She has deep emerald eyes and a long scar along her left flank from a fight with a badger.
Picture: N/A
Personality: She is not a mean cat, but she is doesn't trust toms because of a few bad ones she had met in her past, and is therefore cold to them. She doesn't use her looks to tease them, however, because she is afraid of what might come of it, but will never admit it. She is generally easy-going, but when she is angry, her barbed tongue is utilized on toms and she-cats alike.
History: Tango had a father named Mica and a mother named Pepper. Mica was not necessarily a bad cat, but had never meant to have a long-term relationship with Pepper. When Pepper told him she was pregnant, he had meant to end it, but Pepper begged him to stay with her. After much time, he decided to stay with her only until the end of leaf-bare, when the kits would be old enough to survive with only a mother. But Pepper had to let him leave without complaint. Sadly, Pepper agreed.
The kits were born in late leaf-fall. There were two kits in the litter. The first-born lived just long enough to be named Sky before she died, because Pepper and Mica didn't know to rub her fur and not lick. Tango was a bit stronger, however, and was able to survive.
Despite Mica's vows to leave, which he would end up keeping, he was devastated by the death of his first-born daughter, and he never wanted to blame himself. Instead he blamed Pepper, for not knowing enough to rub, and little Tango for distracting them while Sky was dying. He knew Sky was dead before Tango started coming, but he wanted to have someone to blame.
As Tango grew up, her mother and father wouldn't teach her any way to defend or hunt for herself. Mica still blamed her for her sister's death and was, if anything, even more stricken by it. Pepper was too attached to Mica to do anything he didn't do. So Tango had to teach herself, but silently following her father when he went hunting. Pepper never noticed.
She began to see the storm clouds in her parents' relationship when she was only a few moons old. Whenever Pepper would try to be affectionate to him, he would pull away like he was disgusted. It didn't seem right, but she didn't know enough to know that it was wrong.
When Tango was 8 moons old, Mica left as promised. She found out about the promise from what they said when Pepper tried to get him to stay. She was horrified and disgusted, and went home before Mica said good-bye ("Not like he was going to," she maintained from that day on.)
Her mother then blamed her for Mica's departure. She said that if only she had died instead of Sky, then Mica would've stayed. She said that Mica loved her and it was Tango he couldn't stand. One day Tango snapped. She told her mother that none of this was her fault, and it was sick that her mother was so blind to Mica's indifference that she would blame all her problems on Tango. After Tango returned with food, her mother had disappeared. Tango searched all the loner territories and part of Clan territory before giving up. If her mother had killed herself, she wouldn't have known. There was no body, alive or dead. Tango was 15 moons.
When she was 20 moons, she got involved with a cat named Tiger. He seemed sweet and kind, but he eventually began dropping hints that he wanted kits. Uncomfortable, Tango ignored them until he finally came out and asked. She refused, lying that she never liked kits, and wasn’t ready to be a mother anyway (although the latter was true). Eventually he began pressuring her to have kits with him, but when she had finally had enough and told him to knock it off if he wanted to keep seeing her, Tiger tried to forcibly mate with her. She ran, and he was too slow to catch up with her. She never saw him again.
Since then she had pretty much decided that she couldn’t trust any tom. She has lived alone ever since her ordeal with Tiger.
IC: Tango prowled the tall grasses of her home, following the scent of a mouse. She liked hunting here because she didn’t always have to run after her prey. Her fur actually blended in with the golden grasses. Finally she caught sight of the creature. It was standing on its hind legs, sniffing the air. She was downwind, so she didn’t worry about it scenting her, and sure enough, it went back to its seed. As it nibbled, Tango drew closer, her paws floating silently over the ground. She was about to pounce when she put one paw forward and a dead blade of grass crunched loudly. Immediately the creature bolted. Tango would’ve chased it, and caught it easily, if the mouse hadn’t disappeared to her eyes and scent glands as soon as it ran off. Cursing, she set off back to her clearing in the field with an empty stomach.
