I'm only 3 YEARS from you. So leave a LADY alone .
{ NAME } Silhouette
{ PRONUNCIATION } Sill-Oh-Et
{ GROUP } Loner
{ SPECIES }Bengal Tigress
{ APPEARANCE } Silhouette exemplifies everything that a Bengal Tigress should. While this species of big cat is marvelous in its own right, she personifies it quite well all on her own. This female stands at about two and a half feet tall at the shoulder, her length is about five and a half feet long, and her tail is around three inches long. Silhouette's base coat is lovely burnt orange coloration that flows down her body. This female's whole underside is a pallid white. Silhouette's body has widely spaced black intricate stripes all over her body. Her ears are black too and have a single white spot on each of them. Silhouette has large white incisors and sharp claws to match. This female's tongue, nose, and paw pads are a soft pink coloration. Silhouette’s eyes are an expressive lime green. But this Tigress is not only some dainty model on display; she is way more than just a pretty face. Sil has large scabby, scars on her neck, chest, and ribs. Her legs have minute scratches and her paw pads are slightly cracked due to normal wear and tear. These are remnants of where she’s been and whom she’s come into contact with.
{ PERSONALITY } Silhouette's personality is somewhat of an enigma to those around her. There is no written guide for her disposition, one just has to ineract with her and see. Sil remains quiet and doesn't really waste her breath on useless conversations. Her eyes are the only to clue to her temperament at the time, for she doesn't wear it on her sleeves. This female is not the arrogant type, and she is rather humble. She sort of lurks in the shadows until needed. Silhouette is a cat with compassion and often puts others above herself, which is her main flaw, and could possibly lead to her downfall. Not much makes this female angry, except for tampering with those she has come to care about. Sil comes off as shy, and somewhat mysterious, keeping to herself until she decides to prove otherwise. Most Tigers are solitary cats, so she likes her peace and quiet. Silhouette is social when she wants to be, and welcomes intelligible creatures with whom she can talk to. This Tigress is amiable and levelheaded 99.9% of the time. Once someone gains Sil’s trust, they have it forever. Silhouette is a mystery, but she has a big heart too.
{ HISTORY } Birth to Cubhood:
Silhouette was born into a litter of five, and all of them were relatively healthy. She was the third born, so she was neither the largest nor the smallest. The litter was raised solely by their mother, being that male Tigers do not take an active role in raising a litter. Sil's mother, Sonnet, was a very loving mom, and did all she could to feed and raise good cubs. All but one of the newborns survived to being a cub.
Cubhood to Adolescence:
This female was growing stronger as the months went by. Her and her siblings learned all of the basics that every cub should, and made it to their first year without too much difficulty. Sure there were times when food wasn't as easy to come by, but nothing too serious. Sonnet was proud of herself, for being a successful mother really takes a lot of effort.
Adolescence to Pre-Adult:
Silhouette was almost her full size here, and she and her siblings knew how to hunt their own food, and they'd mastered almost everything there is to know about being a Tiger. This was a pivitol moment in Sil's life, and impacted her life greatly. One day, Silhouette and her sister Symphony went for a walk. All was well, the sun was shining, and nothing seemed wrong. However, there was something that would change that. Silhouette came upon a male Tiger who was much older than her. The male randomly attacked Silhouette without her sister Symphony’s knowledge. He came close to forcing Sil to do things she didn’t want to do, but not quite. Symphony finally realized what was going on and came to her sister's aid. A lot of blood was shed, to say the least. The young Tigresses luckily escaped after that brutal battle, dragging themselves home, almost lifeless. Symphony bounced back to her normal self within weeks, though Silhouette became quieter and more reserved.
Pre-Adult to Adult:
Once the cubs reached age three, Sonnet’s job ended for the season. She had raised her first litter to maturity. The cubs were finally grown up and could leave her care to establish their own lives without her help. Each cub embraced their mother goodbye and left soon after to go their own ways. Silhouette is now making a life for herself as an adult Tigress.
