Full Description| Hlindahta is extremely petite for an African lioness, compact and more bone than anything else. Seemingly built for climbing trees and little else, she is all leg and lanky sinew. Her shoulders are narrow and broadly sloped, her chest short and deep; all of which would allow her the nearly abnormal angles a lioness contorts herself to in order to bring down her prey. Her face is quite round, lacking the slackened, bony cheeks of a more angular feature make-up, and she tends to think her appearance more friendly for the almost bear-cub resemblance with a short snout and wide, curious eyes the color of true honey. Her pelt is thick, but of average length, and a shade lighter than a pecan roll in direct sunlight. Her skin is not without blemishes, but so few of them hold any meaningful story behind them and she rarely remembers where she got them. The only one that strikes a sense of sensitivity of any fashion with her as far as vanity goes are the three bard-to-miss chunks missing from her left ear, but she couldn't tell anyone how she lost them if her life depended on it.{ ON THE INSIDE }
Likes| Laughing \\ Playing \\ Exerting energy through nearly any form of physical exercise \\ Climbing trees \\ Learning more about what little peace is to be had in her small world.
Dislikes|Discontentment \\ Those, especially the young, that find it hard to laugh or smile \\ The war, and those that wrap themselves around it as their sole purpose in life \\ Having no trees to climb
Full Personality|
Lin is the epitome of a happy-go-lucky kind of gal. She doesn't let life get her down, and she generally considers the whole war get-up a bunch of nonsense; giving children guns as toys and expecting them not to shoot themselves in the foot. She is a supporter, a rock, the sounding board and overall pretty stable. She can become rather cross with belligerent ignorance and has no qualms with rapping anyone across the head if it means enabling them to simply live their lives for themselves instead of trying to see who will rule the sand box longest. She is simple, but not in the way that most would first assume, as she is certainly not simple-minded... She simply doesn't believe in making things more difficult than they have to be, and so, it's simple.{ A LOOK INTO THE PAST }
History|
Like so many of generational era, Lin was raised in the midsts of war. She saw what went on around her, and she cried herself to sleep every night, alongside her mother whom weeped just as a deeply for every cat that was lost. She was raised without prejudice, without bias or arrogance. Taught to accept that she was what she was, and that every other cat was under the same call: they were what they were, and even two lions were never just like any other. The war would serve no purpose until there was but a single cat standing, alone in the blood bath, for only then would the supposed justification for such death ever be fulfilled. To Lin, a cat - be he or she striped, spotted, solid or any mix of her imagination and beyond - is just another cat just trying to make it through. Life isn't easier just because the Tigers have stripes, nor any harder for her because she's golden instead of crimson. No, she is simply Hlindahta, who happened to be born a lion. Her family lives, though silently and tucked away as much as they are able to be, from the thick of the war. Her siblings have joined the war, and she knows not their fate, and adds their names to her growing list each night. She has wandered from her mother having heard of a part in the war that she might serve and actually regain some of the peace she would so like to see again through the aid of a Clan named Pariter. A coalition of Tiger and Lion, joined forces to bring the oppositions to a stand still, and she is willing to join their ranks if she might strengthen them to more quickly reach their goal.{ A LOOK AT THE PRESENT }
