Blue-Light Lusa

{ B U I L D }

Body Build ||

Even after reaching full height, Lusa still has legs that don't quite fit her elegant torso, though with her thick coating of feathery fur many take her to be bigger and taller than she actually is. Her entire pelt is soft as a cloud and fills out her figure slightly, though as she's gotten older it has taken a silky texture and drapes over her frame. She clearly has the elegant facial structure of her mother- albeit with a bit more of her father's fringe. Her tail is surprisingly short- something she has retained from her kittenhood.

Height || 11”

Weight || 9.4 lbs.

Fur ||

Lusa is primarily snowy-white, though her back is patched over with patches of her mother’s color and her father’s tabby stripes. Her rounded face is heavily freckled with the same hue as these broken patches, which continue from her sleek forehead down to her tail. Lusa’s paws are all this pale-ginger as well, which fades just above her ankles and is tipped by her white toes.

Eyes ||

Lusa has her mother’s pale, sky-blue gaze, though they generally have a more misty look to them.

Skin ||

Lusa has vividly pink skin, unlike her parent’s pale grayish tones.

Items ||

{ Crow Feather | A sleek, near-black feather from a crow's wing gifted to her by her cousin to remind her of Reuss. | Received at age: 6 moons from: Tsulasada | Worn }

{ Pheasant Feather | A bit more worn than her newer addition, this was given to her by Reuss after he and the former Silver-Fire caught a pheasant. He wears one from the same bird. | Received at age: 3 moons from: Roran | Worn }

{ Tail Bracelet | Taken directly from her mother's previously double-stranded necklace, Lusa's tail is adorned with a beautiful blue-gem bracelet with an intricate silver clasp to hold it together where Palette broke it. It carries four different blessings; three were given by the outcast Spirit, and the fourth is a powerful healing skill bestowed by Damek. | Received at age: 6 moons from: Palette and Damek | Worn }

{ Golden Bracelet | Gifted to her by her mate, Seven, when they were adolescents to honor their future matrimony. She treasures the golden piece, which was fitted with a blue gem upon the formal blessing of their Silver to become mates. | Received at age: 16 moons from: Seven | Worn }

{ Assorted Flowers | Lusa loves to collect blue or purple flowers and weave them into her fur, usually around her neck and ears. They vary by the week. | Received at age: 12 moons from: nature and friends | Worn }

Scars||

{ Shoulder Gashes | Lusa's left shoulder is marred by several jagged scars that crisscross each other haphazardly. She used to hide them by sticking sap-drenched rabbit fur over the bare skin, but soon accepted them for what they were and now lets them appear as they are. | Received at age: 8 moons from: Ryoji }

{ Hyphema Aftermath | After a practice fight with Tabitha went too far in their adolescence, Lusa suffered a hyphema in her left eye; her sight has almost completely recovered and only remains slightly blurred at one edge. The iris has stained a russet color because of the bleeding. | Received at age: 13 moons from: Tabitha }

Notable Features ||

The only unique part about her is her tail. It is very short for one who does not have short tail in their heritage. However, Lusa has been told to have very beautiful and interesting eyes, once both a violet-blue, but now an alternating russet thanks to her accident moons ago; she compliments the original blue tone with violet-blue flowers throughout her pelt.

Summary ||

Lusa is one of the sweetest, most innocent cats to be found. She appears to find it difficult to take many things seriously and goes through life with a blissful naivety, gravitating towards just about anyone and believing that every cat can be a good friend. She has no relative understanding of what life is really about and as such has a sweet and innocent demeanor, trusting everybody and never withholding her kindness. She struggles to be polite as her mother has told her to be and generally can be found quite odd, as Lusa doesn’t exactly think before she speaks. However, she is one of the kindest and most thoughtful individuals to walk Nandryx, and actually finds helping others a delightful pastime instead of a chore. She is beginning to mature and think for herself as she grows older, and actually notices the looks that others give her when she's being "thick-headed."

Innocent/Naïve ||

Lusa just wants to be your friend! She doesn’t care what you’ve done or how weird you act or look- anyone, to Lusa, is their own beautiful kind of character, and she wants to get to know them too. However, she has absolutely no concept of the fact that not every cat is quite as nice as she likes to believe they are. Because she is so naïve, Lusa will blatantly ignore many “warning” signs that would turn a wiser cat away. It would not be difficult at all, especially given her belief that all cats are respectful of healers, to use Lusa’s innocence to your advantage. She simply wants to trust.

Pure/Sweet ||

For all her childish shortcomings, Lusa is a sweetheart. She wants to be friends with everyone, and as such is kind to everyone. Not a single cat can get away without a sweet smile and gentle word from Lusa if she can help it. Nothing turns her away from helping another cat in need, and even though she is young and has yet to grasp at the downfalls of life, Lusa will always attempt to help out when another is hurting. She is such a sincerely good cat that, despite her other traits, it’s hard to not want to be around her.

Obedient ||

Now, this is not to say that Lusa’s a rule stickler- this is to say that she follows orders, plain and simple. Where those orders come from doesn’t really matter so much. She tends to follow the authority of the cat she respects most, which may mean she will listen to a cherished family member over her deputy or the like, but she always does what she feels is right. She has never been known to break a rule knowingly and is mortified if she does on accident.

Odd ||

Lusa is admittedly a very odd sort of cat. It is one thing for someone to be youthful- many young adults are- but Lusa goes beyond the usual childlike bursts of fun. She is sometimes random, and in the midst of a conversation may point out how lovely the grass looks today when she is being told about the history of the Spirits. It takes patience to deal with her random outbursts and queer fancies. She may go from doing one thing to abruptly doing another, and offer up a tidbit of what is meant to be advice but comes out, quite simply, strange. She struggles to understand others' frustrations sometimes because of her own easygoing nature, but she does at least try her best!

Faithful ||

Once she’s made a friend, Lusa is never going to let them down. She dutifully follows and takes care of those she’s close to; once she attaches herself to another cat, she would follow them to the end of the earth and back, even if she was repeatedly pushed away. It’s hard to not reciprocate at least some sort of affection when faced with that much adoration. Lusa truly and honestly loves those she says so to- if she tells a cat she loves them, she really means it. Through thick and through thin she’s going to be there for those who have earned her endearment.

Childlike ||

Lusa just wants to play and make friends, and even after so many seasons of life she has retained her childlike nature when in a good mood. She is bubbly and playful, always tumbling around and giggling and simply trying to have a good time; she tends to be quite popular with kittens! She adores her family and is overjoyed to be back around them, and tends to still listen to her father and behave like a young apprentice around him at times.

Habits ||

{ Bug-Catching | A habit that she and Roran came up with together, Lusa has become so used to marveling over bugs with her brother that she catches and admires them even on her own. She will often bring her latest find up to the nearest cat around, not understanding that many other felines dislike creepy crawlers. }

{ Jittery | Lusa is always seeming to be moving in some way. She constantly fidgets in some shape or form- whether this is shuffling her paws, wagging her tail, or twitching her whiskers, she is always in motion. She usually moves her tail, though if this is stepped on to stop from twitching, she will absentmindedly begin to move something else. Most of the time she doesn’t even realize she’s doing so. }

Fears ||

{ Disappointment | The only thing Lusa is afraid of is becoming a disappointment to her family and friends. She constantly is trying to prove that she’s worth their time and love. }

{ Rejection | After her past troubles with Tabitha and Seven, Lusa has grown to fear being rejected by her friends and family. }

{ Losing Seven | So many cats have walked out of Lusa's life- or died, in a few cases- that she is beyond terrified of losing her mate. It is her worst nightmare. }

Ambitions ||

{ Making Others Proud | Lusa absolutely adores her family and wants to make them proud of her. She especially takes pride in knowing her father was once a deputy and, though she doesn’t really want to be one herself, hopes she can be just as good an asset to her Tribe as he was. }

Fun Facts ||

| Lusa loves gems. She is especially captivated by the tail gems that- unknown to her- are tokens of Philo’s blood relatives.

| Fireflies are her second favorite animal. She likes to catch them and name them, and keep them near her at night so it isn’t so dark.

| Flowers make her sneeze. (She wears them anyway.)

| She used to be completely unable to pronounce anything over two syllables. After a lot of private practice, however, she has gotten a lot better with speaking; it only reappears when Lusa becomes flustered.
