Belladonna

A smoke Turkish Angora she-cat with blue eyes
[ Request Sdesc Update ]

Belladonna, being a pureblooded Turkish Angora, sported an angular, lively frame with long, athletic legs giving her a smooth, wide gait. The smooth, long length of her coat was kept meticulously groomed throughout her travels and used her dark coat to take advantage of traveling at night. The entirely of her coat is a two-shaded (smoke) stormy blue grey, with darker shades around her ears, face, paws, and tail without a single hint of white on her body, although she possesses smokey notes throughout. Two tall ears sit atop her head with little space between them and wide, almond shaped eyes, which were pale blue in color.

Belladonna was a gentle soul with a heart full of curiosity and a deep love for the world around her. She spent her days wandering through hidden paths and places unexplored by her own paws. Despite her love for adventure, Belladonna was a reserved cat, often choosing solitude over the company of others just by the virtue of being by herself most of her life.

In her quiet moments, she dreamed of grand adventures and feats of bravery from the stories that her mother passed on, envisioning herself as a legendary explorer uncovering mysteries in far off places. Belladonna’s eyes sparkled with ambition, and though she seemed content in her solitude, deep down, she longed for the chance to leave her mark on the world.

An escapee from a breeding cattery, Belladonna knew early on that she loathed being kept in one place for a long time. Early on she developed a certain restlessness that kept her moving, never looking back inspired by her late mother’s teachings. She avoided bringing attention to herself and gave humans a wide birth, but found the occasional company of passing cats to be a certain welcome relief from her solitude.

Eventually one of these fateful encounters who bring her into the acquaintanceship of a mysterious cat named Kosmo. She had caught a lingering cough from the wetness of the recent spring which had gradually worsened, impeding her ability to hunt. In exchange for stories about her homeland, this cat gave her herbs which lessoned her cough and opened her airways and soon she made a speedy recovery under his care and budding friendship.

Perhaps a part of leaving a mark on this world would come in the form of assurance for the future, and she approached the tom to ask kits of him. Never one to settle in one place, however, kept their paws moving. Eventually she began to see less and less of him, it was only when she knew she would kit did he find her and aided her in the motions, bringing new kits into the world.

She expected to see more of him after that, but like a fish, slipped away from her as she recovered, never knowing that he remained close enough to reach her if she ever needed help, but even he could do little in the way of a roaring monster on the thunderpath. Belladonna lost her life to one of these monsters as she tried to cross with her young kittens, leaving them to an unknown fate.
