Personality:
Gentle
Mercy is an incredibly gentle cat who doesn't like seeing anyone- or anything- upset or hurt. Never one to raise her voice, lecture, or get angry, Mercy is good with those who are going through things, or just generally need a softer paw to help them up. Her touch is always delicate, be it with plants or cats, and Mercy would never extend a claw towards anyone.
Caring
This tiny cat cannot turn from anyone or anything that may be injured. Even though she's shy, and will tend to avoid others at times, if someone needs aid in getting patched up or being checked on Mercy will be one of the first to nervously crawl her way over to check on them. Seeing even a plant wilting upsets her, and she adores caring for all kinds of life as best she can.
Diligent
Though sensitive, and easily upset, Mercy enjoys her job, and she does it as best she can. She's quick to follow orders, often even spending extra time to make sure her charges are cared for properly. No matter the conditions, if something needs to be done, rest assured Mercy will do her best to see it done. She might not say it aloud, but she won't accept failure, and works until she gets things right.
Sensitive
Mercy is a sensitive soul who is easily upset- be it by things such as yelling, to things like a rare flower wilting. It's not uncommon to see tears in her eyes if things are tense, even if its not directed at her. Yelling at Mercy will cause her to burst into tears, and so much as a harsh look can make her tear up. She needs a gentle paw that not all cats can- or want to- give her.
Shy
Due to being not only new to the lands, but new to the tribes, and without her parents, Mercy is incredibly shy. She tries to avoid talking to others as much as she can, not even making eye contact if she can help it, and she tends to try to make herself smaller than anyone speaking to her. If she thinks she can leave in the middle of a conversation, she might try to.
Skittish
Pairing her shyness with her sensitivities, Mercy is very skittish. The tiny cat jumps at any sudden sound, avoids cats that so much as look intimidating, and doesn't like going into unfamiliar places or situations. It's easy to scare her, and it can take great patience to introduce her to new things. She needs to be eased into things slowly, and carefully.
History:
Mercy was born an only kitten to her mother Elise and her mother's new mate Leliana. Mercy's father, Holly, passed due to illness before Elise ever knew she was pregnant. Elise had found companionship in another single mother, Leliana, and the two grew quite close during Elise's developing pregnancy. Leliana had two older children of her own, Sophie and Kiki, who were both a year old at the time. Realizing she had somehow fallen in love again, despite the loss of her mate, Elise had asked Leliana to stay with her, which she agreed. With the help of Leliana, Sophie, and Kiki, the four girls were able to keep Elise fed and cared for during her pregnancy, which thankfully had no complications. Mercy was born easily, though small, into the family, who all loved her dearly.
Mercy was two months old when her older sisters left. The two loved both of their mothers, and their younger sister, but had a need to explore further than a family caring for a small kitten could. Promising to return soon, the sisters left, leaving Elise, Leliana, and Mercy. Mercy was a small and quiet kitten, easily frightened and quick to cry, so to say her mothers doted on her would be an understatement. Both were extremely protective of her, allowing her to hide under them every time she was startled. It didn't do much to aid her confidence, but they had hopes that it would develop later.
When the plague reached their area, however, they had to make a decision. Mercy was still growing, still small, but with the plague being around every turn both mothers grew to worry about their other daughters. They waited for months, hoping they'd return on their own, but when they didn't, they had to act. Hurried paws led newly 6 month old Mercy across the territories, bringing her to the door. The giant portal terrified Mercy, and the kitten tried to hide under Elise, but for once, her mother wouldn't allow her. They had to go find Sophie and Kiki, but they couldn't risk Mercy being taken by the illness as well. Trying their best to comfort the panicked kitten, they'd promised they'd return, and put her through the door.
Tumbling through to the other side, Mercy stayed in a shaking heap for what felt like ages. The world here was more colorful, and far brighter, and far, far more terrifying by herself. Mercy sat where she was, crying until exhaustion took hold of her, and she slept just on the other side of the door. When morning came, she was still alone. Unsure what to do, and terrified out of her little mind, Mercy crept through the new world, trying to find a place to hide. She, however, was the one who was found by something else. A small apprentice patrol from Earth Tribe- consisting of cats named Tulip and Suraya. Shaking like a leaf, she could only whimper out her name shakily as they asked, unable to get anything else out afterwards. Mercy could only timidly follow as they offered to help her, bringing her back to Earth Tribe.
