Description






General Information

Name: Mara (Meaing Bitter, Sorrow, or Pain)

Species: Machairodus

Gender: Female

Age: 6 Years

Rank: Tribe Chief

Abilities: Blazing Pheonix (Lvl 7), Thorn Claws (Lvl 4), Disappear (Lvl 1)

Personality:

{Grumpy} She thinks negatively most of the time, looking at the glass as half empty. But I suppose that could be useful, for less chance of naive decisions, and making her pride stronger, by pushing the cats a little harder till the kill pile is full (In a loving way, of course!). This attitude doesn't make her a favorite to the other tribe leaders though. However, be ready for her to do something unexpected.

{Intelligent} Mara is smart, she thinks deeper into most situations or questions. She's a fast thinker as well, coming up with good comebacks when insulted or threatened, and if attacked, she has quick reflexes.
She usually has a hardened expression on her face, so you can't tell what she's thinking or how she’s feeling. Her mind is very active, somethings nearly always going on, even when talking to another saber. She has a unique mind, sometimes thinking of the oddest solutions or plans. Yet, they work, or, most of the time.


{Mysterious} Mara is pretty secretive, and usually doesn't share any personal feelings or inputs with others in a conversation. She often likes her time alone, letting her mind wander to every corner of her thoughts. She enjoys the peacefulness of the forest, and she takes a traditional morning stroll through the wood. 

{Independent} She often does most of her work alone, rarely talks with the other sabers, only when tending to their needs, or to the tribes needs. She seems to be having trouble forming relationships and friendships with her tribe mates. Reluctantly, she sticks to taking her job seriously, going about her duties, and guiding the others in theirs. She would sure enjoy to have a conversation with a saber she would like to call a friend. But friendships are rare to her, and she's isn’t exactly sure really, how to make a friend, or even to be one.


{Bold/Serious} She often keeps to a regular straight tone of voice, robotic. It can sometimes be intimidating, but the look in her eyes isn't just full of stone. She cares about her tribe mates, for sure, and she does the best she can to lead them correctly. This 'leadership' act has caused her to bring back the cold feelings from her past, which gave her this bold and serious personality.




Biography

Cub: Maras mother died right after her only sister, Raaka, was born. A dire wolf had ambushed them, and her mother had no way to protect them. Dad came to the rescue, though, finishing off the dire wolf as it had killed their mother. With her dead, Father had to raise them. He loved them dearly, and watched over and protected them with his life. During a quick hunting lesson, a bear attacked them. They had wandered too close to it's den. First, it charged for Raaka and Mara, because any predator would aim first for the slow and the weak, but Father intercepted, taking the bears heavy-pawed blow. Their father fought with everything he had, but he had already been wounded, and weary from the other battles before. The bear struck him down, and Father was dead. 
Mara, instead of welcoming the instinct of fear to run, she burned with anger. A fire seemed to light in her, and she threw herself right at the bear. Luckily, the bear was weakened by her fathers attacks, and, preteen Mara, had killed the bear. Even after it was dead, she tore at it's flesh, screaming, tears falling from her face, expressing every bit of pain that the young sabers had been caused. When she finished, she looked around for her sister, but Raaka had disappeared. Mara didn't know what to think. Whatever had happened to her sister, she assumed that they would never be together again, if she was lost, or dead. She took a few brown strips of tough material she had found, and built an armor for herself. She placed a few of the bears fangs into the collar and bracelets, and took the bears rib cage as armor for her body. Then off she went, wandering the world in solitude.

Young Adult: Mara entered a large patch of forest. It seemed magic to her. The trees were large, vines hanging from the treetops, and patches of tall grass softened the ground. Everything was bright, lush and green. She came across a Smilodon saber tooth, Khal, the former leader of Tribe Prathien. Khal welcomed her into the tribe, and after making a traditional formal oath like a chant, Maras armor began to change. The bones of the bears rib cage seemed to harden, and a protection of pearl stone guarded it. Same with the ivory teeth of the bear. 
A strange tattoo clawed it's way onto her shoulder. It hurt, but the beauty of the design made up for it. Khal showed her the meaning of what had happened, and showed her how to use this strange magic. Over time, she earned her powers, Darkness, and Plant. 

Adult: The tribe was now filled with more members. And, as she exited the camp to greet another newcomer, she was shocked to find the familiar pelt of her sister. Raaka. She could barely believe what she was seeing. But Mara and Raaka had been reunited, welcomed into a new family. A few moons later, Khal had been killed mysteriously. They were unable to find any clues of his death. They assumed it may have been the outcasts or the dire wolves. But, being Khals temporary Tyro, she was required to be the tribes new chief. Mara excepted the rank nervously. She claimed a new power for herself, the element of fire. And now, she watches with pride as her tribe grows larger and stronger with every day that passes. She hopes that Khal is proud of her. 

-Raaka had been killed when Hiriwapi, a dire wolf second command, attacked the Prathien forest.

-Chosovi was stolen and turned into a cub by the Bandits, taken captive.

-Holograms of Chosovi, Khal, and Raaka visited the camp, warning Mara to stay out of the Bandits business and they would return Chosovi back to them.

/ Chosovi fate-of-the-land.deviantart.co...
"I'm glad I chose Chosovi as my War Chief. She is strong, yet wise and gentle. Nearly every saber in Tribe Prathien is fond of her. She’ll be a perfect leader one day."

"If the Bandits try to hurt her...we will give them what they deserve, and we will get Chosovi back. Just hang on, we're coming."


// Briazi fate-of-the-land.deviantart.co...
"She seems to be getting along well with he other sabers. She's very pretty, and making friends quickly."

// Raaka fate-of-the-land.deviantart.co...
"I loved my sister Raaka, I wanted to protect and watch over her with my life. Just as Father did. I was glad to have her back…but only for a moment. Now she’s gone, and this time she will not return."

// Shengo fate-of-the-land.deviantart.co...
"He's very quiet, I like that about him. I also think I see something going on between he and our shaman..."

/// Chisel fate-of-the-land.deviantart.co…
“I have unexpectedly become very closely acquainted with Chisel. He’s shown me things I could never have imagined. I feel…completely free beside him."

"I never thought I could fall in love with someone like Chisel, let alone fall in love at all. But the more I think about it, the more I believe he is the only one that...keeps me strong. Keeps me sane. I don't know where I would be now without him."

/ Naadia fate-of-the-land.deviantart.co...
"Naadia is both beautiful and skilled. I hope to become closer friends with her. She's quite easy to become acquainted with. To me there seems to be this..aura of hope, safety and kindness about her."

// Dongo fate-of-the-land.deviantart.co...
"I used to have a close relationship with him I suppose, but, I suppose it wasn't meant to be. I could think of no other match for him but Raaka. He's a bit shy, but I know I can trust him. From what I've seen, he will protect those he cares for with everything he has."

"Now that Raaka has gone...I can barely bring myself to look at the poor saber. He shares the same pain and anguish I do. I hope he will be able to make it through this."

// Avi fate-of-the-land.deviantart.co...
"He's lived in Prathien for quite a long time, and I’m glad to have him as a loyal, brave, strong and skillful hunter. I hope to get to know him better too. And I've been noticing a fondness between he and Chosovi…especially now that she’s been taken."

/ Lyra fate-of-the-land.deviantart.co...
"I've mentored this tyro for a time, and I've liked her since I first met her. She used to be very hyper and outgoing, but she seems to have changed completely when Chosovi was taken. Such a large impact on such a young and fragile heart...all I can say is I hope she doesn't end up the way I did when I lost my family. She deserves more than that. When I look at her, it gives me more determination to get our War Chief back."

// Beran fate-of-the-land.deviantart.co…
"I've been watching him. He seems to have a sour mood, but I'm sure theres a soft part of him somewhere."

// Gwen fate-of-the-land.deviantart.co…
"She seems pretty grumpy and arrogant. We'll shape that up, not doubt. However, I hardly know her at all yet."

/// Khal
"As the leader before me, I respected him greatly. He was a more secure and stronger leader I could ever be."
