Gender: female
Age: 3 years
Species: African leopard
Eye color: flame orange
Body Build: lanky but well muscled
Fur Length: very short
*In-Depth Physical Appearance:
For a leopard she is huge; her legs are stout and her body is long. Ilyich is powerful, in the way that she is larger than most. Her pelt is smooth and a shade of dirty tawny. As if she rolled in dust before you saw her. It is dark and a sort of gray-gold. Her spots and rossets are jet blck ainst her musty pelt. Her tail is long and brushes the ground when she walks, it too is spotted and ringed, well more ringed than spotted. Thick black cirlets incase it, leaving about 2inches of tawny between each of them. It ends in a fluffed up white tip, the outer edges of the white are incased in the last ring as if the black is trying to swollow it up.
Her body is lean but sturdy. Both her nech and shoulders are stout. Her body is iron tough, and wild lean. Ilyich is a powerful indavidual, born and raised in the mountains she shows as much in her form. She is powerful, her muscles trained by winter famin. Her ivory fangs are sharp as daggers, trained in the northern fighting style. Ilyich claims a strength that many females simply lack. The pelt caoting her frame is thicker than usual, and soft to the touch. The tawny fades to white along her underside and around her cheeks. Despite its length it is always well groomed, but isn't especialy beautiful. Her eyes are her claim to fame. They are a furiouse shade of ginger, almost burning in the flaming shade. They can at times appeare almost irradecent; glowing in the night like burning torches.

Personality:
Il is about as messed up an indivdual you will ever meet. Her mental workings could send a child running. Her outer workings are shockingly diffrent. A smile ,blissfuly cheerful, always twitches on her muzzle.
To othes she appeares bouncy. Hyper and happy. She is boisturouse as she yaps inher broken english. She is warm, with a motherly aspect that is suprising in one so young. For a loner she seems very social, almost as if she seeks others out. She is playful anf annoying.
In her own mind Il is disturbed beyond words. She is a masochist, beating her own body and relishing in the pain. She bitterly despises the world. She trys to pretnd she is loving when all she sees are the spider web cracks splitting her facade. All she is left with is pain. Some sick part of her thirsts for that agony. Something to beat back the numbness that normaly controls her.
She longs for company, yearning for anyone who will speak with her. And yet she remains fearful of others, terrified of the outcome of their actions. She is horrafied by the meer consept of loosing control, and becomes panicy in situations beyond her grasp.
What made them decide to escape?: instinct.
History:
She was born in a cramped cage, with two others. Far away from north america, Ilyich began her fight for survival. Ilyich was born to a socialy broken mother in a 'wild animal' sales man's back yard. She grew quickly, as the man began to release her and her little broken family into a small yard to 'play'. For months she only knew dirt and the metal of her cage. Her mother became more and more irratible as the cubs grew, for they where bieng held prisoner in little more than a dog run. And finally the broken leopardess snapped, with one crushing blow she killed her first born son, Sorri. After that day the man removed bother Ilyich and Vengrad from their mothers care.
After that day they became avalibabel, for purchase. And as the man who bred them was fanatical about his horrably carred for animals, so where others. Both leopard cubs sold quickly and Ilyich was shipped from her home in Germany to a new man in 'america'. Home of hte free... and home of the kennled. Once again she was shoved into a tiny cage and expected to thrive in it. At least she was fed regularly here. This man wasn't as smart as the german ma, though. He had disrespected the leopard's great leaping abilites. Less than a month after her moving to 'America' the yearling leopard leaped her pen's wall. And shocked and scared on the other side she bolted.
Lucky was she that she could survive of rabbits and birds for a short time, untill her stalking abilites increased. Untill she secretly learned to teach herself how to hunt. she then thrived day by day, relishing the feel of grass under paw. AS young as she is, she is not obliviouse of the hatred reining the wild. She creeps about in the dark, watching fights and arguments about hings that no one can control. She does not take a side, not yet anyway. How are they supose to stand aginst the murder apes? And if they did how where they expected to win,a dn then survive the rath that would undobtably follow? Shaking her head, Ilyich keeps to her trees, where she can watch from a distance. No where is safe, but some places are darker than others.
Zonta, she has found, is one of those places. She clings to anna with a child like fear of abandonment. Anna's cubs are to her younger siblings, and she cares for them as such. Zonta means far too much for her to just watch as it crumbles. She has become a near militaristic figure amongst their group, demanding hunters and sentries out and about at all times. She takes orders and dishes them out, though she always runs back to anna with any big problem. She knows she has no ability to base her opinions off of emotion, so she takes them to her 'mother'.
