Cleo [lynx]

[Deleted]

Name: Cleo
Age: Three Years
Specie: Eurasian Lynx
Gender: Female

Personality
Cleo has an outgoing personality. She isn't shy to meet new cats, despite her size which is about ten inches shorter than the average leopard. Cleo can have a flirty tendency, especially when it may help her get something she wants, and she has been known to be sneaky and a bit of a thief. Cleo wants cubs one day, but only when she feels she is safe in a group. When it comes to friends, Cleo is fiercely loyal and will stand up for those she cares about, even if they were wrong.

Looks
Cleo is smaller than a leopard, typical for a female lynx. In the warm summer season, her coat is a light reddish brown color with black leopard-like spots. Her belly and underneath her chin are white. In the colder winter season, her coat changes to a thicker silver color. Her face is similar to a domesticated cat, and she has golden eyes. The tip of her tail is black, as are the tips of her ears. At the tip of both ears are long black furs that stick up, a characteristic of the species. She has thick legs and big paws, perfect for catching small prey.

Past
Cleo was one of two cubs born to her mother. However, during birthing, her mother and sister died. Her father was devoting and loving towards Cleo, but anyone could see he was torn up over the loss of his mate. Cleo was raised rather spoiled, and loved to tease other cubs and play with her father. She got whatever she wanted, and was a princess to her dad. But as she got older, her father stayed sullen, lost without his mate. Cleo began going farther and farther from home, exploring and meeting others. He didn't seem to notice her long periods away, and eventually, Cleo told him she was leaving. His lack of response hurt, but he had given her the green light, so Cleo went, excited to see new places. She grew older, learning to survive by tricking food away from others, stealing and flirting when necessary. She was a bandit, but a cute one.
