• Personality:

  Hubris is a grizzled male who is certainly getting on in age but refuses to admit it. He is still an exceptional fighter, though, and he puts that to good use towards his grumpy nature. He likes being alone, but he still searches for a companion to alleviate the loneliness of never having another cat around except for enemies that will soon be long gone. He has no patience for younger cats, especially if they have any sort of pride. He himself is very prideful, but he feels that he's earned it throughout his lifetime. As his name suggests, he is sometimes too prideful for his own good, and it often gets him into situations that he just barely avoids never making it out of.

  
  
• History:

  Hubris has had an interesting life since he was a kit. His mother met up with a colony cat on the outskirts of his territory, and so he and his littermate and brother Enigma were born. However, that winter was brutally harsh, and, fearful for her kitten's lives, Willow decided that it was best if she found a twoleg home, at least for a while. The twoleg couple was elderly, and had been fostering stray cats around their neighborhood for years. They were literate, not that the cats could tell, and named the kittens soon after they opened their eyes. Their personalities actually matched two of the three kittens, which is pretty good for guessing the personalities of small bundles of fur soon after they first glimpse the world. As soon as Willow deemed the kits strong enough to leave, at about 3 moons, they slipped silently out of the house and never saw the couple again.
  
  Enigma had never really been happy with their disorganized life, and wanted to go back to the family, where food and water was always guaranteed and available whenever she demanded it. In the unhappy time period between Hubris' kithood and maturation into an adult cat, Enigma was always in the background, makig whatever the situation was even more negative by adding pessimistic and sarcastic remarks wherever she could. At this point Couth had been born, so one day she and Hubris snapped and told Enigma that she should go back to the twoleg place if she missed it so much. They watched her cross the thunderpath into twoleg territory...but she never made it. She had rushed across, not looking either way. Hubris carries this weight of causing his sister's death heavily on his shoulders.
  
  Only moons later, Willow became ill with greencough and did not make it through the winter. Emotionally wrecked, Hubris set off far away from the twoleg's land, determined to live in solitude since death seemed to follow him wherever he went. He hasn't seen his sister Couth since that day thirty moons ago, and does not know whether she is alive or dead, nor does he worry about it too often. He has almost forgotten what it is like to have a companion, and yearns for it without realizing it.
