Cat Name: Nyiradessa
Cat Bio:it feels very wrong to re-write her even though she desperately needs a rewrite please accept my offering straight from 2016.When you have the blood of a queen in you, you can only expect to have a certain level of perfection welded deep into your bones. Especially when that queen rules over two domains, having experience with both herbs and the battle. There are certain expectations that come, especially when you are the first born of the first litter that really matters. This is so with Nyiradessa. A child of Satara-Jacquelynn, technically of the second litter, but of the first litter that the feline kept. Fathered by Legion, a tom who himself wasn't too far down on the totem pole, although definitely was not up to par with her ex-mage, now warden mother. She has the herbal blood running through her veins, only to add to the brimming perfection that could be expected of her. And, she meets that perfection almost, well, perfectly. Or, at least, she thinks she does. You see, little Nyira is a little full of herself. Easily one of the more beautiful, if not most, in the League, with brown tabby furs that seem to highlight and lowlight to golds and almost blacks across her body, ones that frame her pelt. Large, mint green eyes that, strangely, are both pale and deep at the same time. A smile, that only hints at the twisted reality she is. She looks, from a distance, perfect. Desirable, the most so out of her litter, which also contained Mastion, Solaristine, and Ryleia. A princess in a land of fools. She thinks herself every bit the part, too. She is concieted, her hamartia being hubris. She thinks she's everything that anyone could fathom. A beauty who's perfection is inherant, compared to her sister Ryleia, who had to fight for it. Her narcassism runs rampant, and it is the source of her only true flaw in appearance. You see, she doesn't like to listen to directions, believing herself always to be correct. One day it bit her in the butt, though, as her brother, Solarstine, told the litter to stop. He sensed the danger, but obviously she didn't listen. Why would she listen to her brother? Even though he was the least foolish of the litter, the most like her, she was still everything and he was still nothing at all. So, she kept going, right into the danger that her brother had seen - a live trap. It collapsed against her, ripping flesh and bone alike as it sunk deep into her forearm, shattering the structure of it. The perfection was marred. Of course, with her injuries, she was contained to the Shaman's den for a while, in fear of infection as well as for rehabilitation in the use of her leg that had been shattered. It brought another perfection out in her, though. She realized that she excelled in herbs. By the end of her time in the Shaman's den, she had picked up much of what she had seen. The trait of the shaman blood flowing through her. Still, though, was that enough of a trade off for the ugly mark that it left on her leg? Of course Nyiradessa acts unphased by the mark in her beauty. She claims it to be the same perfect as the rest of her. Even in her injury, the daughter of Satara had to pretend to be perfect. But, still, it haunts her. Everytime she looks at her paw, it haunts her. Still, it hasn't forced humility to her, hasn't changed her ways. It appears that nothing will.
Cat Picture Link: also will find
Which position are you trying out for?: i mean she was mage like god 2 years ago so although it would
deeply amuse me to have her be mage again, shaman is probably preffered (but i think she'd just die if someone like 8 months old became shaman and she came back to be mage tbh whihc would be v fun for me)
How's your activity?: genr'lly p good. i'll need at least 10 counts somewhere else once the lsac starts again so c:
How would your cat interact with the other members of staff? : so generally nyiradessa is a piece of work that few cats can actually stand so theres that.these are my guesses, but of course character development might happen differently than i expect
especially because i haven't actively rped her in a few yearsFUNK } if funk tries the like "do it my way" type thing, nyira will probably have an actual conniption fit. she was classically trained and she knows what she's doing, so that could be a big conflict between the two of them. however, she also likes experimentation / has a true passion for medicine, so like they could bond over that just as well. he'd definitely be interesting to her, so long as he didn't try to micro manage.
SEN } so sen hates nyira just by merit of who her mother is. let's just say that satara and senessence just... didn't get along, and such not get along has become transgenerational.
INNOCENTIA } she finds herself greatly unnerved by the local cat eater, and always has, no matter which time she's waltzed back in the world of primal instinct. that being said, there's a sort of respect that she has for the cat, if only respect that she's lasted this long.
REPRISE } to nyiradessa, kindness is weakness. it always has been. even when she was young, she was never a fan of cats who were niave, or sought the good in the world. she'd have no respect for reprise, simply because she would perceive the cat as nothing
but weak. nyira's also a giant bully so that probably won't help the relationship much, especially because she'd see reprise as
particularly lesser than her
LUX } she's a liar who can do no wrong and likes to make people know just how weak and pathetic they are, what can i say? i don't believe the two will be the most friendly.
ELYION } another naive cat will either be mercilessly made fun of or taken advantage of, depending on the needs that present themselves.
MYSTERIUM } If nothing else, they could bond over shared status as legacy-bred. I think that she'd try to maintain at least a working relationship with him, simply because of the similarity of their work.
Why do you (and your cat) want this position? : god she's such an adult baby who got demoted from mage, went on a spree where she killed like four cats including a former nemesis because she was pissed she got demoted (she developed disordered eating, and a bit after satara became nemesis she took her position away because she thought that the stress was causing her poor eating patterns, when it was really like nyira punishing herself for being damaged goods), and has just been wandering around for no good reason since. she won't say it out loud because again adult baby but she misses the herbs
and being able to freely self-medicate and misses having some semblance of purpose to her life. her position was literally the only thing that mattered to her. this wasn't because she necessarily liked other cats enough to heal them, she didn't, but because it made her feel like she was worth something again. even when things were falling apart, and fall apart they did, she had her position, and it made life worth living for her. she wants life to be worth living again, and the only way she knows how to do that is to come back to her position and her life.
as for me, i've always had a soft spot for pi. i've been the shaman / shaman equivalent like four ? times ?, been in leadership positions of the group like 3x (rip jynx e'tan may he rest in pieces) assassin once or twice, and had an occasional proxy
love you alistair. honestly, i have a thing for rping villains. always have. they're more interesting to me than any cat on the good side of the moral spectrum. when crowclan got deleted, pi became my only place where i could really have the dark, messed up plots that keep me coming back to rp even though i'm a full time college student who probably has 406 other things they should be doing at any given moment.
plus i spent a year or so doing a lot of character development with nyira, all of her plot arcs, and i really love her as a character. pi's her home tho, and she absolutely refuses to be just a normal cat, especially because she's a cat who once had great power.
What can you (and your cat) bring to the League? : sweats i'll come back to this she's a pretentious jerk with a god complex so does she really bring anything to the position or group probably not
but she's been classically trained in medicine / etc. also she'll piss sen off <3
i think med positions can be kind of boring if you arent willing to cause some chaos, and i am. i can also bring
too much experience both with medical and non medical pi stuff. idk i'm bad at talking about my usefulness bUT idk
