And his language shall be spoken in judgment

ROOT -- Symphonia has the power to manipulate plants as she pleases, though her strong suit it is to make the plants grow from a seed to an adult plant in a matter of seconds. She uses this to her advantage by making certain herbs grow whenever she needs them. This is quite useful during the seasons in which certain or most medical herbs do not grow in. She can only grow small plants with little to no concentration. If she tries to grow something like a tree, then the duration of the growth can lengthen, and it will wear her out quicker than anything else.

»»general appearance:

Being a Sunda Clouded Leopard, Symphonia is probably one of the smaller felines in the group. She only stands at twenty-four inches at the shoulder, and she only weighs around thirty-two pounds. Her tail is just as long as her body, giving her a really good balance, even if she is a bit of a klutz at times. Symphonia's coat is light in color, only being tan in some portions, and it is covered in dark edged, irregularly shaped ovals that give her species its name. Her fur is anywhere between a centimeter long to being around two inches long, mainly along her chest and tail for the longest of fur.

the personality,

»»likes:

plants, life, healing/helping others, stargazing

»»dislikes:

death, the thought of turning into a Plagued, war, having to actually fight herself

»»general personality:

Symphonia is a pacifist, and it doesn't take a genius to figure this out. Whenever there is a little squirmish in the caves or talk of a battle, she gets the heck out of there. Her 'sanctuary' is in the trees or in her little secluded section of one of the many caves. Of course, everyone in the pride knows where to find their dear healer when she is needed.

Symphonia is also quite skittish, even if cats are usually too proud to show it. Though, she actually does show it. This kind of ties into her pacifism as even the sound of unsheathing claws sends tremors up her spine. She isn't one to come to whenever you need advice on anything having to do with fighting, though she has proven to be ready to give advice on relationships and, well, anything else. If someone outside the pride tries to ask for advice, not like they would, however, she gets a little tongue tied.

Other than this, she is very loyal to her pride, and she wouldn't leave it for the world. Though, she can easily be manipulated by those who intrigue her. We all know curiosity killed the cat, and her curiosity is rather large, almost as much as a kit's.

the history,

»»mother: Lilium (currently missing, assumed to be dead)
»»father: Petram (deceased)
»»siblings: Deuce (stillborn)
»»others: n/a
»»background:

Symphonia was born in Bruma like many other larger species of felines. Her mother was the healer to the pride, and her father was... Well, she never really knew what he did. All she knew was that he was cool in her eyes, and that was all that mattered. She also had a twin sister; however, Deuce died before they could be born.

As a cub, Symphonia was never seen without her parents. She clungt to them as if they were a life line, and they kind of were. Being one of the smaller cats of the pride, she often got picked on by the other cubs. Of course, papa Petram always came to the rescue. She would also watch her mother do her daily chores, tend to the ill, etc. She became enticed with the practices of her mother, and she always tried to help out. It wasn't until she was around seven months of age that she had finally found out she had a power. Well, every cat did, but hers started a little later than the other cubs' powers did.

Symphonia was watching her mother sort through many herbs like usual. Her short attention span had switched to one of the poppy seeds that had rolled out of its pile. So, she started staring at it. Within moments, the seed took root and began to grow. She instantly hid behind her mother, thus ceasing the growth of the seed.

As the months passed, she would experiment with her power, trying to grow whatever she could. Her mother also started to teach her how to use said herbs. There wasn't a day in which she wasn't learning how to do something new. When she reached just half past her first year, however, things changed. Her father decided that she needed a little time away from her mother for some odd reason, so he took her out hunting. Of course, Symphonia was afraid of every creature they passed, even the ants.

They had wandered a little farther than she would have liked, nearing more to the border between Bruma and one of the other territories. It was then that bear living in the territory decided to come out of hibernation. And, boy was that bear hungry. Symphonia instantly hid in a nearby tree while her father ran off in another direction, trying to get the bear to follow. And it did. A yowl split through the air, and silence fell upon the area.

Symphonia didn't leave that tree until one of the pride's hunters found her a few days later.

When she returned, she was instantly ambushed by a worried mother, fussing over the young Clouded Leopard until the sun went down. Apparently, her father's mangled body had been found two days prior to her return. She gave the story on what happened so they didn't think she killed her father. It wasn't like they would, knowing that she was afraid to even bat at a fly, but she just wanted to be sure.

A few months passed before her mother just up and disappeared. They sent out search parties, but her body was never found. So, Symphonia took her mother's place as pride healer, using her power to her advantage during the cold season.
