Slim to a near unnatural degree for his species Sherlock has a constant look of gauntness to him. Height make sup for what he lacks in obvious intimidating skills, and the man is stronger then he looks. Covering the wry muscles is a short layer of dense charcoal black fur, run through in various patterns by even darker rosettes. Sherlock isn't a particularly kind looking creature, as he is all points and angles. It gives him a rather aggressive edge that isn't helped by the constant petulant above-it-all look on his face.

History:
Born into a human home with his two siblings Sherlock Holmes was never destined to be normal. Constantly at war with his larger, though not quiet as crafty litter mates, Sherlock swiftly built up a wall to keep everyone else out. For the first two years of his life the jaguar bundled himself away into the cold confines of his mind and despised his family with the bitterness only a child can truly conjure. Perhaps this is why the man retained his general childish air, as a way to avoid his domineering family and the general level of bullying he received on a daily basis. Thanks to all of this Sherlock managed to wedge himself in all his awkward angles into an iron box and lock the door behind him.

It wasn't until that smaller annoyance crept into his home that Sherlock poked his nose back out the cage door. John was at first a simple interest, as anything new was in the boring never changing world of their human's house. That swiftly morphed into near obsession as Sherlock became more and more enthralled by this new toy. A toy that didn't react how the others did. A puzzle. Yes obsessed was a good word for it. Still the jaguar acted out selfishly, annoyed by this unknown creature's intrusion. Calling John an interloper and being thoroughly put out by him whenever he could. In the end they did become friends, utterly inseparable friends thanks to some petty little feud that the humans carried out so well.

Their owner's wife died, and for the first time John was subjected to the full force of his new house-mate's oppressive personality. The case was in the end solved, and the murderer (jealous ex-boyfriend not nearly as interesting as Sherlock had originally thought) was brought to justice by the rather horrifying experience of having two rather large animals perched atop him with the murder weapon. Friendship cemented John Watson and Sherlock Holmes went on for a couple of months sussing each other out. In the end Sherlock's childish behavior brought them into a new era.

Only a highly annoying extremely boring day the four year old black jaguar decided to hell with everything and got up and left, leaving poor john to leap along after. They both knew Sherlock wouldn't last the week without the man mothering him. At length the two wandered for a wile before Watson finally managed to badger Holmes into joining Eznox, a place he rather huffily despises and only remains at because John won't let him run off again.
