Appearance:[/size][/blockquote]
Stella is a young cat, but her fur should have left its downy softness months ago. It didn't, and probably never will. Her fur is as soft as it looks, a beautiful snowy gray with darker splotches, as all leopards have. Her dappled pelt loses its brightness around her shoulder, but it doesn't waver her beauty. On her head, the spots are only dots, covering her.
This she-leopard has a long fluffy tail, thick and downy, like the rest of her fur. Dark splotches run in a line down the top, barely losing size at the rounded fluff at the end. She has large legs, again, like all leopards do, with paws to match. Her claws lay in wait, thistle-sharp, for any unfortunate animal the strays in her path.
One black nose, transparent whiskers, and large doe eyes of a grayish hue makes up the rest of this mammal. Course, she isn't perfect, I bet there are hundreds of big cats that make her look dirt in compare to their beauty.
3 Strengths:
she can swim amazingly well;
she is a fantastic climber;
she can almost read your feelings
3 Weaknesses:
she gets depressed when her past is brought up;
she fears death;
she is weakened by love
Personality:
Ensorcell has a very confusing nature. If you meet her, she may seem like an entirely different creature the next time you cross paths. She adapts her personality with her surroundings and position. She may seem as sweet as sugar one second, then as wild as a hurricane the next. She will repeat her moods depending on where she is and what she is facing, as I said before.
It may seem like you'd realize this the first few times you meet Stella; really, it would take a lifetime to figure out her mind. She's so wrapped up in her own little world at times, that all your hypotheses will seem to prove wrong. To be her friend is so frustrating that most just give it up all together. Because of this, Ensorcell has no acquaintances, much less "friends."
Sometimes the same? Never the same? Short-term memory loss?
No one knows but Stella.
Family Members:
Mother: Ehci (means "Ice")
Father: Sna (means "Snow")
Foster Mother: Colly
Foster Father: Obelis
(Stella can't remember her real family)
Past:
Before Stella met her foster parents, she lived in Tribania, an unknown land. The cats in Tribania spoke a language called "Triban," founded by the discoverer of the land, Tribas. Stella, along with the rest of her "Tribe" spoke this language, meaning they had Triban names. Every spring time, before the flowers sprouted and the grass turned green, a great rain came. This years rain lasted longer then usual, resulting in a flood.
This flood was huge, a crashing wall of water the enveloped most of the land. A few stray cubs were lost in the rushing water, Stella one of them. When the waters died down, the Tribe searched frantically for their lost cubs, only finding dead bodies or nothing. Stella was never found. The flood had carried her unconscious body out of the native lands and into the sea.
Stella washed up on the shores of an island, Keyara, just after the death of the noble wolf. A caring leopard named Colly had been sunning herself, away from her snowy territories, when she noticed the small body of the cub. She and her mate, Obelis, took care of this unknown she-leopard, nourished her to strength, and raised her as their own. They called her Ensorcell, because she enchanted them with her confusing nature and beautifully patterned coat.
Stella became strong and adapted to her new life on Keyara. Tho she knows of her mysterious appearance, memory of her earlier life was washed from her mind.

Roleplay Sample:
A shadow raced through the snow-covered forest, a creature as pale as the white trees. The place suited wild cats like Stella, their pelts blending into their surroundings, melting into them. The she-leopard slowed to a halt, raising her head to scent the air.
Where did it go? She hissed at herself, narrowing her eyes as she gazed through the trees.
It had been right there a second ago.... there! The leopard shot off again, following the only colorful object in sight. Mind concentrating on the body in front of her, Stella leaped. The snow-pelted female landed squarely on the does shoulders, making it stumble in surprise. The deer thrashed helplessly beneath Stella's weight as it fell, writhing on the ground. The she-leopard fought the flailing legs, clawing them as they kicked at her, until she could fix her teeth into her prey's slender neck. Its fights weakened by the second until nothing was left but an empty body.
Triumphantly, the leopard licked her lips, anticipating the near supper.
