• Physical description:
  Ponder’s coat is a deep violet with silver undertones. It is really quite shiny, and rather short. She doesn’t seem to have any problems staying warm in the winter though. No one really knows why. Her neck used to sport a blueish collar that was apparently loose enough for her to slip off without much effort , and even today, her fur stands in an odd ring where it used to be. Her eyes are bright green and could easily pierce through anyone’s soul. Her nose is dark gray, and usually quite moist. Her mouth is petite, but lined with razor sharp teeth for ripping things to shreds. She’s very speedy and stealthy and makes almost no noise when she walks. She stands very tall, from both pride and her stature. She’s very graceful, even when falling, or sitting, or standing, or walking, or sleeping, or…
  
  
• Status: Prowler/Twilight colony female.
  
  
• Rank (if in a colony): Matriarch
  
  
• Personality: Ponder is… terrifying to say the least. Not that she does things to scare other cats on purpose, she just has this air about her that gives you an unmistakable feeling that she could very well kill you if she wanted to. However, if a cat is oblivious to that air, they would think she was a happy-go-lucky cat who could never heart a fly. It is true that she smiles almost constantly, but she’s not really so innocent. Her mind is incredibly dark, and while she might seem quite evil on the outside, no one has any idea how much she’s holding back. Not even she does, really. She tends to stare at other cats, even if she doesn’t mean to, only because she craves eye contact. If some cat happened to be one of those types who refuse to give eye contact, she would do anything it took to force them to look her in the eye. It is one of her pet peeves, after all.
  
  She is also very sly and smooth. She’s been known to sneak up on her prey quite rapidly and snap them up before they’ve even noticed her presence. This scares a lot of cats, because they know very well she could do the same to them at any time. Those who know her well though, know that she has never hurt anyone in her colony, and never will… that is, of course, as long as they’re loyal. She values loyalty and trust, and even though she faintly realizes that other cats are afraid of her, she expects them to trust her, and she herself gives undying trust to the members of the colony. She’s also the kind of cat who thinks about everything, especially the consequences of her actions. She can take a situation and play out every single outcome in her head, and then pick the best
  
  
  
• History: Ponder was born a subordinate. Her mother had been in the colony since she was born, same with her mother, and her mother, and so on. There was really nothing for her to look forward to in life, other than growing up to serve their matriarch.
  
  
  That is, until the matriarch was killed.
  
  Now, normally, the assistant would take over, right? Well, not if they mysteriously disappeared. Their assistant stuck around for about a day or so, looking ever so paranoid the entire time, before bolting off into the forest two days after the matriarch’s death, never to be seen again. So, what was the colony to do? Already, one of the elder cats had taken the temporary position of leader, and decided to check out the younger cats to see if they had any leader potential. At the time, Ponder was only 20 or so moons old, but she thought it would be interesting to see what she could do.
  
  However, apparently she already had that terrifying air about her, and it just so happened to screw up the cats around her. They were supposed to run races? No, they were supposed to run from Ponder. They were supposed to play hide and seek? No, hide from Ponder. Hunting? Avoiding Ponder. For a while, she became somewhat of an outcast, being run from almost constantly, but it gave her an advantage.
  
  While they were busy hiding, she could get work done.
  
  She trained almost nonstop to become the very best cat she could be, but somehow, didn’t attract much attention from the older cats. Probably because of one cat who liked to hog it all, even though he couldn’t really do anything right, and he couldn’t be a matriarch anyway.
  
  After a while, the older cats and the matriarch rounded up all of the younger cats to see who should become the assistant. Ponder came, but she hung out in the back, behind the other cats so no one really noticed her. That is, until the leader came over and asked what she was doing. She smiled and replied “watching.” “Don’t you want to try out?” asked the matriarch. “Uh, alright I guess. The other cats don’t like me though.”
  
  She didn’t care. She grabbed Ponder by the scruff of her neck and dragged her into the action. The group of cats that were already there froze and backed up to give her space, which she didn’t even need. Figuring that the only one who really mattered was her leader, she began to show off, climbing, running hunting, doing everything she could to prove that she was better than the other cats.
  
  After she’d done everything she could and she was all but asleep, the matriarch came over and told her that she wanted Ponder to be her assistant. Now, she should’ve felt immeasurable joy, but she was so tired, once she heard the news, she fell asleep.
  
  A few years later, the matriarch passed away, and after a brief mourning period, Ponder seized control of the colony, and has been going strong ever since.
  
  
• Relationships: She was very close to her mother, but she never really had any friends… well, I suppose you could call anyone who was oblivious to her scariness a friend. She has a brother, somewhere, but hasn’t seen him in years.
  
  
• Other tidbits: I’ll add some here later, if I think of any xD
  and also, I kinda winged it on the history. If I screwed up on something, uh... sorry x3
