Open up the story-books,
Life's still mine to make.
And from biggest space to smallest nooks,
My beliefs and heart will never break.

Gender: Female
Age: Around six years now.
Birth-country: Japan
Species: Iriomote Cat
Group: Esson
Rank: Alphess
Eye color: Amberish brown
Body Build: Lean, but there's a slight muscle to it
Fur Length: Medium-long
In-Depth Physical Appearance: Her tail is the biggest part about the tiny cat - and even then it's not very big. She could be a house cat except she's not. She speaks some of the house-cat language, though it was easy to return to the language of wild-cats.
Mother: N/A. The closest would be a human.
Father: N/A. The closest would be a fellow Iriomote.
Siblings: N/A. The closest would be her "littermates" (the human's other cats)
Friends: Everyone.
Mate: Planning to be Geronimo ;)
Children: This will happen soon xD
Do they favor their birth-country, or the USA grounds?: USA... she doesn't remember Iriomote Island in Japan.
Personality: Her (metaphorical) heart is much too big for her body. She has an all-encompassing love, even for the Folami. Of course, while she'll automatically be sweet and calm, she has a fiery spirit. Her fierceness is fit for a cat five times her size, and she won't shy away from a fight if there's no other option in her eyes.
Many a day she is content to love the life and earth around her, even with the problems it brings. She won't be idle, instead she'll be actively offering an ear or any form of comfort she can. Kunabee counts her blessings, and bad things are just as much blessings as the bad.
But she also understands how the world works. She will kill and eat prey; but she will also look to the sky and send a quiet prayer of thanks (if ever asked to who, she'll say "whoever's out there"). She also shows a great respect for prey, and only kills what will be eaten.
Some could say she is not in as much danger as larger cats, and that is why she was willing to love; but anyone who knows Kunabee knows that she could be a tiger - the largest feline out there - and still love all that is around her.
She has no problems with the world, no problems with herself, no problems with others. She prefers peace over fighting. Oftentimes outgoing, she stays open and strong. However, Kunabee does have some hidden issues with confidence. She keeps these to herself, and you'd never know. Especially since she spends more time thinking about important things and giving her whole heart to others than any issues she may have.
The girl also has an interesting temper. Most of the time it's pretty long, though occasionally she'll get irritated about the little things.
Oh, yeah. She's also more observant and clever than one might expect. Typically people think her naive and overly trusting. This might be true but she also knows how to manipulate. Nevertheless she doesn't manipulate except to save the lives of others; she finds other ways to protect her own life. Guilt carries with her easily, as well. Any time another is harmed, she takes on the guilt for it. She carries everyone else's sadness. She feels their problems even if they don't tell her, and she carries it with her - always looking for a solution.
As an alpha, she's not a very good one, but she tries her best and is slowly but surely getting better at it.
History: When she was young (too young to remember life before the US), Kunabee was taken to the USA and treated as a pet. She enjoyed her time there, and became close with the other cats the human who took her owned. She pretty much grew up there, and considered herself a domestic cat in every way. One day, inspired to try something new, she managed to escape. Unfortunately, she got lost. Wandering into the wild, she somehow found another Iriomote cat and discovered that she was no house cat. Soon after, the other cat died, but she was able to defend herself and was happy in the wild.
She eventually met Mahal, a Folami, and Bhuvana, an ocelot. Mahal was wounded, and working together, Bhuvana and Kunabee helped Mahal back to his home. The three started monthly meetings and became fast friends.
Bhuvana eventually turned to Bokor. Heart-broken, Kunabee started searching for a way to bring her back to Dio. Bhuvana was a peaceleader, after all, and her rightful place was helping others. Not leading them to the slaughter. No matter how alluring Bokor's words were, she knew they were false.
However, she soon founded a pride of her own: Esson. Named after a friend from a "long time ago", she's opened it to not only felines, but also Folami. Thus far it's been a success in her eyes, with a good mix of Folami and felines.
(that isn't to say it's problem free...)

Other: Kunabee's religious beliefs are... strange. She believes in all worshiped gods, and as such rarely entreaties any of them. However, if in need of help, she'll usually call on Dio or Skoll as opposed to any others. It may be strange for a feline to call on the Folami god as well as the feline one, but whatever. That's Kunabee for you.
