personality
[size=9pt]Edlyn is a complex soul. She isn't the kind of cat you can simply get to know in a day - it takes moons of knowing her to even start to have an idea of what she's all about. From a glance, she can seem fiery, bold and stubbornly determined; which she is. She's got a sharp tongue, and she isn't afraid to use it. Edlyn is fiercely independent, this stemming from the fact that she was forced to grow tougher and fend for herself from a young age, and hates to be forced to submit to or be controlled by any cat. She revels in her freedom and is a willful, spirited young cat. When she's forced to accept restraint, she has a tendency to become sullen and rebellious.

Edlyn isn't afraid to let anyone know how she thinks and feels, and certainly won't suffer in silence. She's a born fighter, and has a strong sense of moral and justice. She knows what's right and wrong, and she fights and lives for what she believes.

However, that's only the surface. Edlyn also has a gentle, sympathetic side that, though, seldom makes an appearance, truly exists. Like any she-cat she possesses maternal instincts and has a soft spot for all children, although she doesn't always show it. She's particularly protective of kits, and some can see that as a weakness for them. She is strong and true, she knows who she is and is faithful and stands by what she believes. She's fiercely loyal to anyone she sets her heart to, and it's difficult to sway her from any goal when she's set it. Although Edlyn can be stubborn, clinging to her views and hating to release them, give in, or admit she's wrong, she's no fool and although with some reluctance, she knows when to back off.

Although Edlyn hardly shows it, and is possibly not even aware of it, she is actually quite intelligent. Perhaps though a tad uncooperative and bluntly straight-forward when it comes to interactions with others, she is exceptionally difficult to play for a fool or coax into a trick - except when it comes to kits. The only weakness in her armor is her love for her kits - threaten them and all her fire vanishes. However, she still remains fiery, her soul blazes like a flame with spirit and she also possesses the ability to inspire others, although she doesn't realize it.

Edlyn loves those that she is close to fiercely and is highly protective of what she holds dear. She always stands up for them, supports them, and remains stubbornly loyal to them. All in all, she's a great cat to have around as a friend, and someone to really watch out for if you're her enemy.[/size]

physical character
[size=9pt]Edlyn has some considerable bulk for a she-cat. She's quite large, matching some small toms in size, and strength. She's quite powerful and sturdy in build, although she is quite lithe as well. She has soft, dense but short fur, and has a bi-colored coat; her main coat is a golden-tan color, and her belly, chest and paws are cream colored. Her back and tail are laced with ginger stripes, and her forehead and cheeks also carry a reminiscent of the tabby stripes on her back and tail.

She has a white muzzle that is linked to a white stripe that goes between her eyes. She has exquisite, sea-colored eyes that can be seen and described as teal. Up one can see that her eyes are ocean blue intertwined with wisps of forest green.

Contrary to the belief of some that she-cats must be soft, beautiful and delicate, Edlyn possesses true fighting power. She's an experienced fighter, having been taught well by her father, and she often sparred her siblings when they were young. Once she was separated from her parents, she was also forced to fight often to defend herself, her kits and her territory and prey. Her pelt bears no visible scars as a testimony of her successes in fighting.[/size]

past
[size=9pt]Edlyn was born to a pair of loners and grew up well loved and cared for. This may lead one to wonder what makes her so fiery, proud and independent. The explanation is that at a young age of seven months, just a sparse moon or two after her parents began teaching her and her siblings how to hunt and survive on their own. When they were traveling as a family to move to a new den, a vicious storm caught them unprepared, and the family was separated in the wind, rain and lightning.

Alone and lost, the siblings managed to stay together, and found a sparse shelter in which they waited out the storm. When the storm blew over, they emerged and searched desperately for their parents, but they could not locate them, and were at last, forced to face bitter survival on their own. The eldest of the litter, Roy, took responsibility for his two younger sisters, and virtually worked himself to his death in protecting and doing his best to take over with looking after them. When he was badly wounded in a fight with a fox, the wound grew infected, and on a cold winter day when Edlyn and Elise were at one year old, he passed from the world.

However, it was his careful nurturing and self sacrifice that enabled the two sisters to survive. They mastered the skills of survival as loners, but in the process, all of them had become far tougher. Edlyn and Roy had been particularly close as siblings, and while their forced independence had already made her far more fierce, determined and tough, his death made her even more so. She felt that she had to live and be strong for the sake of her brother and her sister to ensure that his sacrifice was not in vain. And thus, with difficulty and hardship, the two sisters grew accustomed to their new life and survived.

It was a warm spring morning on her second birthday when Edlyn met Conan at a river. She had been fishing, and having lost four fish in a row, she had grown frustrated. Conan, however, had already made several successful catches, and as they were both on the opposite banks of a stream leaden with fish, they met. At first, Edlyn had shown him the fire that she gave to all strangers whom threatened her pride, but it was clear from that moment that their personalities could not have fit together more perfectly.

Conan was a gentleman through and through, polite, good-natured and gentle. He taught Edlyn better methods for fishing, and through this, the two of them grew closer. They spent the rest of that day in each others company, and became friends, meeting together often there. And over a course of time, they fell in love.

Conan softened Edlyn's fierce temperament considerably, opening the doors to her sensitive, gentle and loving side that she herself hadn't even known existed. The two spent several happy moons together, but tragedy struck roughly a week or two after Edlyn gave birth to their kits. A coyote ventured too close to their den, threatening to attack and steal their kits, and Conan and Edlyn fought valiantly side by side, but when the coyote dealt Edlyn a blow that nearly knocked her unconscious, Conan took over. He bravely fought the coyote off, defending both his mate and kits alone, but just as he'd given the blow that made the coyote turn tail and run, it grabbed him by the neck and threw him against a tree before fleeing.

Edlyn was devastated by the death of her beloved, but she suppressed her grief for the sake of her kits. However, for the two long and painful moons that she raised them alone except for the occasional help of her sister, Edlyn was never truly happy. Since her mate's death, her living and happiness had steadily declined. Worst came to worst when Edlyn's kits went missing. They had ventured off to explore while she had been out hunting, and as their den was near the Skull's territory, panic had taken over and Edlyn went to search for them in Skull's land for the fear that the cruel toms of Skull had found and stolen them.

She was found by Belobog, a Skull of the Clan, and captured by him. However, as he did, he also took her as his Warrant, thereby protecting her from many of the horrors that Skull had to offer. Upon realizing that he truly loved her, and would be willing to sacrifice his own happiness for her's, Edlyn began to soften towards him, and perhaps some time in the future, her feelings would ripen into love.[/size]
