Personality:
Shy:
Nona doesn't like to be the centre of attention. From a young age she didn't get the chance to meet other cats and can find it hard to introduce herself, normally she will wait till some cat walks up to her and asks for her name.

Kind:
Nona will offer out her services to any cat if needed, even though she is shy she will not say no to helping out with either big or small jobs her only ambition is to be needed.

Protective:
In the like of emergencies that can be serious, Nona's soft side will be shifted and a whole new side is shown without her even knowing it. In times like this she can get out of paw and struggles to come out of it one day this will be controlled with the help of a cat who she will have very close feelings for.

Trustworthy:
Trust her with your heart and she'll trust you with hers, Nona likes to know that there are cats who will be there for her when she needs them and hopes that they will keep secrets that she shares with them and in return she'll do the same. If a cat doesn't keep her secrets quiet by accident she will be hurt but not as much if it was intended to be told. 

Wise:
Although she was a social butterfly Nona's owner owned a well known book store in Massilia and occationally would listen to her master as he read them out to her during his studies or as a pass time. She now uses this knowledge to help her empire with where to find the best resources and what can be dangerous out in Massilia and the outside world.

Background:

Cub

Nona was the ninth cub of a second litter born to a very successful breeder and coliseum fighter, all beautifully marked in the colouration of both parents. Word spread like wildfire about the births and many people were eager to see them, When the previous litter was born due to their parents status they were all sold for very high prices, but as they were all still too young to be sold they stayed with their mother for another few weeks.

During her first few weeks Nona didn't really interact with her siblings much as she was proven to be the weakest one in the litter and was constantly bullied by them. When all the other cubs were playing Nona would listen to her mother's stories of the outside world and wondered what it would be like to have freedom. The day arrived that many people of Massila had been waiting for the auction of these cubs. Nona began to get nervous as people started to gather around the cage and starring at them all, wanting to get away from peering eyes Nona took cover under her mother's head as the bidding began. It took no time at all for all of Nona's siblings to be sold off some of them going for hundreds, after that everyone left as quickly as they came and it was once again silent.
An old man who owned a book shop wanted to go and see the mother and met up with Nova's owner, they talked about how much each cub was worth and how he wished he could have seen them before the auction. Nona's curiosity took over and she wanted to see who this stranger who was taking so much about them was, she popped her head out of her mother’s fluffy neck and mewed at them. Startled at first her owner couldn’t believe that one cub managed to slip his eyes this whole time and looked on at her as she moved towards the bars of the cage, gently flicking her tail happily she stuck her nose through the bars. With a slight smile he picked her up and handed her over to the old man. "Take her" he told him "I know you've been lonely since you wife passed so maybe she could keep you company". Tears began to fill his eyes and he gladly accepted her naming her after his wife, who was also the ninth child of her family his loving, caring Nona.

Before the Raid

For the following few years Nona grew up to be a polite and well-mannered cat, helping with jobs that her new owner couldn’t quite manage on his own. Once each week Nona would leave her home with a small woven basket ad a bag filled with coins and would take it to all the different food stalls in the market getting all the essentials that they both needed for the week, after she would triumphantly return with a basket filled with goodies and be rewarded with small treats for doing a good job. Each day after the long hours of working the old man would sit in his rocking chair by the fire and would call Nona over to sit with as he read out stories to her, some were based on the gods others would be about famous Romans new and old each book was as fansinating as the last.

By the age of two Nona was still by her owner's side each day was now a regular routine to her now and she wanted each day to be a good one. What she liked most was when she had her morning fur bush she liked how the bristles of the brush felt against her pelt, Nona isn’t fussy over the neatness of her fur but she just liked it as she felt like it brought her owner joy in doing so and now she was some sort of carer to him so she never wanted to leave his side.

During and After the Raid

During the battle of Massila, Nona lay hidden under her master’s bed. The sound of cats screeching all around was very alarming to her and she wanted it to stop, Nona's owner was in another room with his books and kept the door shut so that no harm would come to her or so he thought. With cats crashing into everything in the city on large cat knocked over a lit loge that crashed through the stores window instantly setting fire to a small pile of books, smelling smoke Nona rushed towards the door and began to scratch at it furiously. As her paws began to hurt Nona picked up a small voice that came from the other side. “Nona run just leave me don’t worry I’ll be alright” He started to choke a little from the smoke “Good girl Nona go on, you’ve given me a new life thanks to you, he! I’ll see my Nona again soon… now… go”

Nona heard nothing but a thud on the other side of the door, tears began to stream her eyes as she made her way out of the back window, avoiding other cats that would mistake her for either side to the enemy. After running for what seemed to be forever she reached the boarders of forest land, thinking that the danger was gone Nona didn’t know that she had stepped into a snare layed out by the humans. The sharp loop tore through her flesh and she let a big yowl of pain, she quickly tore at the trap and managed to free her foreleg but the loop still remained, although she was injured Nona made some distance throughout the Land of Lightning Empire. Her tired body collapsed as it gave up beneath her and she lay there waiting for death to claim her, small noises could be hear in front of her and she was found by one of the Lightning cats who released her from the remaining piece of the trap and assisted her back to camp where the healer tented to her leg that now has small scars. She then knew that this was her chance to start again as a gladiator, a new cat and a new future.

Since joining Lightning she's been a bit reserved, she likes to send time with Slate and his mates Shani and Damasen and their lively but lovely cubs. Apart from that she's lonely but somewhat content about it.

Thank you for the offer but I do have a few sketches for her armour already. I do have a cat in Stone empire who hasn't got armour yet so feel free to design one for her if you'd like
