P E R S O N A L I T Y
{confident} - {compassionate} - {tolerant} - {vigilant}
{introverted} - {devout}
{headstrong} - {sarcastic} - {unceremonious)
Confident; feeling or showing certainty about something.
- Matris's recklessness has faded into a more humble confidence ever since she had her cubs- now, if she dies, there will be consequences. She's confident in her hunting and fighting abilities, yes, but she is not confident in herself as a person. She doesn't view herself highly and has not for quite some time, but she does trust herself to provide what she needs to for herself and her family.
Compassionate; feeling or showing sympathy and concern for others.
- Matris is more or less not good at showing it, but she does care for her friends, deeply so. She would never hurt their feelings intentionally, and if she did, she would feel awful and definitely apologize. Her mood is greatly dependent on the moods of those she cares about- if they're happy, then so is she.
Tolerant; showing willingness to allow the existence of opinions or behavior that one does not necessarily agree with.
- This trait is perhaps Matris's most recent- while Matris still believes in the defectors' beliefs, she has learned not to scorn city life and cities themselves so harshly. Living with a cat from the city has definitely changed her views; she's learned that the defectors are not perfect, and that the cats behind the city aren't all soulless monsters. She'll probably never learn to truly understand and enjoy the aspects of city life, but she's learning that it's not all awful.
Vigilant; keeping careful watch for possible danger or difficulties.
- A trait never before seen in Matris, she keeps very close watch over her friends and family. This stemmed from when Leto 'died', and ever since then she's kept tabs on everybody she cares about. She knows where they are and what they're doing nearly all the time, and if they aren't where she thinks they are, she will begin to panic and immediately search until she finds them.
Introverted; of, denoting, or typical of an introvert.
- It took a while for Matris to grow a small circle of friends; she cannot handle large crowds. She prefers to stay with Leto or his friends rather than go outside and greet every cat she meets. There's a reason she's not in Ferox. She's warmed up a little bit, and now she can enter Ferox without immediately recoiling, but she still prefers her little family in the Solus.
Devout; totally committed to a cause or belief.
- While Matris may not have stayed truly loyal to the empires by running away, she still wholeheartedly believes in their ways and the idea of freedom that they fight for. She would die to protect what she believes in without a second thought, and she loathes hunters and the olum both.
Headstrong; self-willed and obstinate.
- A trait seemingly appearing after living independently for so long, Matris seems to refuse to take orders from anybody if it interferes with her own personal desires. Depending on the person giving her said orders, she may or may not feel bad about it, but she prefers to ask forgiveness instead of permission.
Sarcastic; marked by or given to using irony in order to mock or convey contempt.
- Matris has had a sharp tongue for a long while now, but in the past it was more cynical and used for criticism, whereas now it's mainly used when she jokes around with her friends.
Unceremonious; having or showing a lack of courtesy; rough or abrupt.
- Matris is not very good at acting sophisticated or formal at all- this is why apologies or heartfelt statements are so hard for her to say. It's not that she doesn't want to apologize, it's that she doesn't know how to say it without coming off as uncaring or impolite. She's no poet, and isn't very charismatic, either; honestly, she doesn't have time for that.
H I S T OR Y
{ Breeding Fodder}
Matris was born the daughter of a breeder named Dione. She was the second-born in the litter of two, and while the sisters looked similar, their body types could not be more different- while Matris was stocky and well-built, her sister was lithe and skinny with legs made for running. Not long after the two sisters had opened their eyes, Matris's sister was given to her father's owner; her father, Benny, was a racing cat, and her sister was fit to be his apprentice. While Matris began to form her first fuzzy memories of her mother's face and the dimly-lit cage they resided in, Dione was making plans to get her remaining daughter out of Massilia.
Dione had taken a fighting cat, a serval named Callisto, aside and explained her plan to him. While she distracted a guard, he could hop onto a caravan and gain something he'd always wanted: freedom. Of course, Dione was only willing to do such a favor if it meant her daughter was taken out of the city as well. Callisto complied with little hesitation.
Not long after the arrangement, Matris was given to Callisto and they quietly snuck out of the room where the caged cats resided (Dione following behind), and once Dione had distracted a guard just as she had promised, Callisto hopped into a caravan, Matris in tow.
At such an early stage of her life, Matris had no name- she would've never been given one if she'd stayed in the city, or she would've had to name herself like her mother had. But Callisto began to give her a nickname; 'Matris'. It meant 'mother' in latin, which seemed fitting; Matris now had freedom because of her mother's idea.
For a little under a week, the two wandered- Callisto, who only knew the empires as one single entity far off in the distance, never bothered looking for it, but it soon became apparent that he could not feed both himself and a cub who desperately needed nourishment. Eventually, the two set off in search of the 'empire', and they found it quicker than either had presumed they would. It was the border to Lightning Empire, and Matris began to walk towards the border when they heard noises in the distance. Noises and scents- Callisto thought it may be hunters. He ordered Matris to stay and said goodbye before investigating.
Callisto never returned.
Matris was young, but she wasn't stupid; an hour had passed and she understood how dangerous it would be to be standing out there in the middle of the night. Slowly, she began to move closer towards the border until a lone cat found her- it was a gladiator whom she could not see clearly in the dim light, but trusted upon sight nonetheless. They offered her a spot in the empires, and asked her name. Matris barely knew what a name was, and she certainly didn't remember getting one... but then she remembered her nickname. As she took one last glance behind her in some vain hope of Callisto returning, she whispered: "Matris."
{ Empire Cub }
The first week or so as an empire cat was rough. Matris had never seen so many cats in one place- the only big group of cats that she knew were the hunters, the mean cats that took away her friend. Not to mention that Matris was still struggling with the loss of Callisto and that she had zero socialization skills. But that all changed the day a little cub hopped right up to her and started a conversation. Matris was awkward and shy and didn't say very much, but it gave her the push she needed to make a friend. She decided that she liked making friends after a day of thought. So she went out and made more.
She made more than friends; in her empire, she'd found an adoptive brother by the name of Talion- the two played all day and would stare at the stars at night as Talion whispered about Adraksh, the god of lightning empire. Not much later, she found a mother in a blonde leopard named Alena. She had a family, she had friends... and one day, she stepped outside of her empire.
Matris swam across the river separating lightning empire from air empire, and once on the other side, she met a cougar named Katja. She was a serious cat, but gentle all the same. They would meet fairly often, and at one point, Matris began to feel things about her that she never had before. Once she identified those feelings, she grew scared- she had a crush on a cat from another empire. For a while, she was nervous, but realized that if she just kept those feelings a secret, everything would be okay.
And everything was okay. Everything was perfect, actually. There were murmurs of war and fighting that fluttered around the camp, but Matris found herself tuning out. She was so young, and nothing bad was happening right then, so that meant nothing bad was going to happen. Air empire cats began showing up in her camp, one of them being the silver gladiator, Vayea. She welcomed them all and even made friends with Vayea. She never thought about it in a serious light.
But when Talion officially signed up as a scout, somebody who could possibly see action and get hurt or worse, Matris finally realized just how serious all of this was. And just like that, her perfect life slowly began to break apart.
{ The War }
The month leading up to the war was filled with stress and anxiety. Cats spoke in quiet, hushed tones. Battle training had become mandatory, serious, and more violent than Matris had ever known. At one point, she'd sat by the riverbed and in a fit of frustration, thrust her paw into the rocks. While most rocks simply flew into the river and floated away, one lodged itself in her paw. It was her first scar.
She still wore the bandages when the fateful day of the war approached.
Matris gave Talion and Alena a goodbye hug before she was sent to air empire with all the other cubs. Amidst the outrageous amount of cats scurrying about, Matris never had the chance to see Katja, and Vayea was far too busy with her duties. She sat alone in a corner and watched as cats played. Then she watched as the hunters erupted into view, and she watched as they slaughtered some cubs and stole the rest before disappearing into the night and leaving destruction in their wake. It was horrifying, and when Matris was escorted back home, she wanted nothing more than to run into Alena's arms and cry until she fell asleep.
But when she ran into camp, Alena was nowhere to be found. Matris tried to find her, and a few seconds later, she did... Alena's body was lying perfectly still in the grass, her pelt smoldering and burnt horribly, shriveled skin and blood seeping out of her wounds. Alena had not died fighting a hunter... she'd been struck by lightning. Adraksh had come down and ended her life himself. Matris wept and screamed out in pain and anger and hatred for the gods for as long as she could, feeling the last bits of warmth leave her mother's body and feeling her begin to grow stiff. Talion returned, but when she hugged him, it was halfhearted; her energy was gone. She had run out of tears to shed.
The days after the war were all a blur; Matris barely ate or even glanced at her brother. Deep down, she knew she was hurting him, but she didn't know how to stop. One night, she'd been sitting by the riverbed again when Katja entered. Matris was too angry, too hurt and too frustrated, and when Katja tried to help, she lashed out. She hit her, and the two fought, but Katja was more experienced and was the only one of the two that really knew how to fight. She pinned her down and told her to run back home. Matris, with tears in her eyes, complied. She felt terrible... she'd ruined a friendship and hurt the last piece of family she'd had. Her decision to leave came about a week after the war- she ran, far away, and never looked back. She wasn't going to hurt those she loved anymore. Where she was going, Matris had no idea, but anywhere was better than there.
{ Lone Wolf }
Matris trudged through the unknown for days, then weeks, then months- at first, the wound on her paw began to get infected, seeing as it had nobody tending to it, and she would go days without food. This was a cub who barely knew how to hunt and take care of herself. Eventually, though, she did begin to learn. Her meals went from bugs to mice to rabbits, and eventually she could hunt well enough to ensure that she stayed alive. She learned how to tend to her paw as well, though she got this information much later.
At some point, she'd made it over the mountains that had always been in sight but so far away back at home, and not long after this, she decided to stop. Three months of nonstop walking had definitely gotten her so far away from her family that she'd likely never see them again, so she decided to settle down by the city of Rome. It took her a few weeks to claim her own territory, but eventually she stumbled upon an unattended cave covered with stalactites and stalagmites that was, for the most part, underground, except for the small hole in a mound of dirt that made the only entrance and exit. Matris decided to keep this little cave as her territory. She learned about the cats surrounding Rome- the ferox, the solus- who she'd unknowingly aligned herself with, she learned- and the bounty hunters that stayed inside Rome. She also learned of the fierce and merciless olum. Matris was learning how to exist in this new world that was both so similar and so different from her empire.
One day, during a chilly winter, Matris had found another cat roaming by the ferox borders. He spotted her and said hello, and the two actually talked for a bit. She asked him why he was near the ferox, and he'd responded by telling her that he'd been running from the city. He told her he'd been a hunter.
Without thinking, Matris lunged, trying to tear into the cat. But she was beaten easily, given a scar right underneath her eye, and caught in a killing position. She spent what she thought would be her last few moments staring up at him with hatred, but to her surprise, he explained that he wasn't a hunter anymore, that he'd busted two cats out of their cages and ran off. One of them, he said, was a little thing that matched the description of Fovos, one of Matris's empiremates that had been captured in the battle, and at that moment Matris knew he wasn't lying.
She let him move in with her, giving him hunting lessons and a roof over his head in exchange for more information about what had been happening in Massilia and the empires since she'd been gone. His name was Leto, she found out, and their relationship wasn't very pretty at the beginning. Matris still had fits of anger and frustration, and if he was there or tried to help, she'd lash out at him. But at some point, she found herself respecting him and wanting to know more about him. She could even consider him a friend... she didn't want to let her guard down and watch another friend of hers get hurt, but at the same time, it felt nice to not be alone anymore- whether she admitted it or not.
{ Healing }
As it turned out, Leto knew next to nothing about the empires- the hunters knew much less about what happened in the woods than Matris had thought. But at the same time... he couldn't hunt, and he had nowhere to go. She couldn't just turn him away and possibly send him to his death. So she began to teach him, and they began to grow closer, though Matris was still incredibly guarded.
Leto was definitely a positive influence on her. He did help her in little ways, ways that grew even bigger- he gave her something to do. She could teach him to hunt, and she had somebody to talk to, but she had to admit that she was still wary. He'd made his own circle of friends and titled them the "Golden Trio"- these cats visited fairly often. It was a very loud and annoying little thing called Latrell, a secretive and odd girl named Wyndigo, and of course, Leto himself. Matris found herself feeling nothing but annoyance when they got together, and generally ignored them.
But, as the weeks turned into months, she began to get better and see more of the good in things. Leto gave her a tiny rock to chuck at the wall whenever she was angry, which was a better alternative to screaming and potentially breaking things, and that helped a lot. It was then that Matris decided she thought of Leto as a friend. The trio grew on her as well- Latrell's jokes became less annoying and more amusing, and Wyndigo's quirks came off as more intriguing than annoying. Once Matris began to be more stable, more optimistic, she decided to become a more caring roommate and friend. She'd been so awful at showing that she cared before... now, she could fix that.
She went into the city and raided a caravan, getting a nick in her ear and an ugly gash on her side in the process, and came home bloody and beaten. But she'd given Leto a gift; a jar with glow worms inside. When opened, the worms ascended to the top of the cave and created a beautiful sight above them, appearing as stars in a dark night sky. Leto loved it, but he was angry; he didn't want Matris to take such foolish risks like that and get hurt again. The thought that he was concerned for her well-being was an odd one, but it made her feel good. That night was the night that she indeed realized that she cared about him as more than a friend, and, while Matris was afraid, she decided that she liked the feeling.
{ Lost and Found }
It all began when a hunter by the name of Ava attacked her in the forest. Matris took her eye, while Ava took her claw. She also ripped a deep, deep gash through her chest, and Matris only had enough time to stumble back home before passing out.
Leto was terribly upset, and they'd had a fight, but ultimately, he was just glad she was okay. It was on that night that they admitted their love for each other and Leto gave her a sapphire necklace that she's hardly ever taken off since.
Those few months after they became mates might've been the best in Matris's life. But just when Matris was starting to trust these happy moments to stay, they were ripped from her quickly and horribly one winter morning.
Leto's body wasn't found. All Matris could find was alarming amounts of blood, his blood, and the scents of several Olumans interlapping with his own. There was no way he could've survived.
Leto was dead, and Matris didn't know what to do without the cat that had mattered the most to her.
Zion visited her often, giving her food and support, but one day Matris told her the news she'd just discovered: she was pregnant. And if those months with Leto had been the best in her life, the months she'd spent pregnant were the worst.
Matris barely ate- she couldn't find the energy to even leave the den some days, and she was too stubborn to eat most of what Zion gave her. She only ate at all for her cubs- if it had been up to her, she would've just rotted away in her den.
Towards the end of her pregnancy, she found a friend in Chroisa of the ferox and Cressida of the solus (who she only knew as "Cato"). "Cato" gave Matris a place to stay and plenty of food to eat, and it was in her den where she gave birth to three cubs: Irena, Ioannes, and Loras.
She loved them with all her life, and they gave her back some of the energy she'd lost. She raised them with Cato, waiting until everybody had enough strength to move back to Matris's old camp.
And then the unthinkable happened.
Loras was screaming for help- the cubs had gone off to play in the woods while Matris was napping, and she managed to find them relatively easy. Nobody was hurt, thank God- but there was somebody there. Somebody that Matris thought she would never see again.
Leto had come back from the dead.
Matris screamed and cried and hugged him, never taking her eyes off him for many days afterward. He was different- he was colder, quieter, and more temperamental, but Matris loved him the same. And she knew that he still loved her, too, and he loved their cubs.
And when Matris and her family finally returned to her old den, she realized that the months of Leto and Matris being mates could never compare to the happiness she felt at that moment.

Strengths ;
- Hunting: Matris has become a bit of a hunting expert, going as far as to create her own tips and tricks. She definitely knows how to survive.
- Bravery: Nothing seems to scare Matris away; she'd easily sacrifice herself for her friends and take necessary risks to ensure their survival- risks that other cats would hesitate to take.
- City Knowledge: For a solus cat, Matris knows a lot of information about the city. Considering that she's been there twice and that Leto's been telling her some things about the hunters that empire cats didn't know, she has more knowledge than most in her faction.
Weaknesses ;
- Her right side; Matris has a large gash on her right side, a gash that, if opened again, could get infected. If you accidentally touch her right side she will probably flinch.
- Emotions; Apologies and heartfelt conversations are nearly impossible for Matris; she has no idea how to word things without messing up. It makes her look cold and remorseless, when in reality she does care. She just has no idea how to show it besides giving material belongings to people.
- Her Family; Matris would do anything in the world if it meant keeping her family safe. She would kill or die to keep them safe, and if they left her, she'd wither away and die alone. Matris needs her family and depends on them to keep going on- without them, she's powerless.

Relationships;
Bounty Hunters;
- Ava; "Oh, yes, her. She tried to take me down in the forest, but I wasn't gonna let her take me down so easily. Ripped her eye right outta her skull, but she almost killed me. Really hope I never have to see her again."
Ferox;
- Latrell; "This guy is really, really loud... he's an annoying little shit. I don't know why Leto is friends with him, but whatever floats his boat..."
- Entry 2: "I guess he's alright. Little guy grew on me, heh. He's still loud as hell, though, but I'm used to it."
- Entry 3: "He... He got taken. He got taken and I don't know when or if he's coming back and... and I'm so worried... I miss him so much. Life isn't the same without him. I hope he can come back soon."
- Entry 4: "He's back! He's roughed up in more ways than one, but he's back. I can't wait until he meets the cubs, but right now, he needs to rest up and get adjusted here again. I'm just glad he's back."
- Zion; "Hmm... she really likes pink. She acts a lot like Latrell, and she knows who Leto is, apparently? Should I be intrigued or concerned?"
- Entry 2: "Heh, welcome to the golden trio, Zion! Yeah, she's pretty cool. She and Leto were old friends; it was nice seeing them reunited."
- Entry 3: "Disappeared? Zion is ninety percent of the reason I'm alive today. She just... she just left? Zion, please come back..."
- Chroisa; "It seems like all the feroxi I end up meeting are little... oh well. She's nice, even if she does ask a lot of questions... I like her. I hope I see her again someday."
- Entry 2: "Chroisa has really wisened up since I met her. She's going to become something extraordinary, and I'm glad to watch the process take place. I really do enjoy her."
Solus;
- Leto; "Former hunter. I'm living with him. Ugh... he doesn't know anything about the empires, but he might die during the winter, so I've gotta keep him around and teach him how to survive. City boy has no idea how to hunt- it's kinda pathetic."
- Entry 2: "So... I've decided that I actually kinda enjoy having him around. Not to say I see him as a friend... that's a bit of a risk to take, y'know? But it's nice to not be alone all the time."
- Entry 3: "He gave me a rock... he thought about me enough to give me something to help me. That's really nice of him... I guess I see him as a friend now. And I really like this little rock. It's shiny."
- Entry 4: "Well, shit. I guess I have a crush on him now...? Considering how terrible my last encounter went with a crush, I'm definitely apprehensive, but I dunno. It's kind of a nice feeling. I'll never tell him, though. It's just... nice, to have him around. He's so good for conversations and he's such a good listener and he cares about me... he really cares. He makes me laugh and taught me how to enjoy life again. I wonder if he really knows the impact he's had on me. I hope he does. I want him to know how important he is to me."
- Entry 5: "We... we're together. I can't believe this is happening...! He said he loved me and I said I loved him and I'm so happy... I don't think I've ever been happier. Leto is the best thing that could've ever happened to me, and I'm ready to spend the rest of my life by his side."
- Entry 6: "So much has happened. We were mates, and then he died but then he came back. He's changed so much, but that doesn't matter- he's back. I love him so much, and I'm never going to lose him again. Not ever."
- Wyndigo; "Very weird cat... very withdrawn, too. I dunno if she keeps her hair like that because she lost an eye or because she thinks it's cool. It is kinda cool..."
- Entry 2: "She's become a bit more adventurous now. We've both been coming out of our comfort zones, lately, and I can relate with her on that. I still don't really know how to strike up conversation with her, because we're both a little awkward, but I like having her around!"
- Entry 3: "S-she's... uh... yeah. I knew this would happen, I knew it would happen and I still let myself become friends with her, with all of them... she's gone and I'll never see her again and she might be dead right now and I don't know. I really fucking miss her."
- Terran; "He was the first solus cat I met, before Leto, before anybody. Before I found my own place to call home, even. I crashed into him and tried to steal his food... if I ever see him again, I'll apologize, but I bet I won't. These woods are a big, big place."
- Insanis; "He unnerves me. Not just because he's not 'there', from what I can tell, but because he reminds me of somebody... a blurry face comes to mine that I'm sure is my mother's. He does look like her... it creeps me out, but I wanna know if he knows more about her."
- Entry 2: "I haven't seen him for a long, long time. I don't know where he is. Maybe he moved, or... worse. It's kind of a bummer that I'm not gonna get the answers I wanted, but it's okay, I guess."
- Ghost; "Theron was so nice to me! She was a great healer. She bandaged my paw and everything... but the war took her, too. S-she's gone now. They never even found the body... I j-just wish she could be here, alive. She was a good cat."
Olum;
TBA
The Empires;
- Alena; "She's dead... been dead for a w-while now. It hurts an awful lot. I want her to be here and with me and that will never happen again and I'll never see her again and- and what if I forget what her face looks like? What her voice sounded like? It hurts so much but it hurts to know that I could forget her, too. I don't want my only clear memory of her to be when she died. I... I really miss you, mom."
- Talion; "I hope he's doing okay over in lightning. He's a good cat with a bright heart... I hope I didn't hurt him too bad. I hope he's gotten over me and found new friends. I miss him, too... I hope nothing bad has happened to him."
- Katja; "Katja, I know you're never going to hear this, but I'm so, so sorry. I really am. If you haven't forgiven me by now, that's fine; we're never going to meet again, anyways. But I hope I didn't turn you bitter. I want you to succeed for me, okay? Or at least for yourself."
- For other relationships that Matris had in the empires, please see this piece of writing (and please excuse the lackluster writing- this was written a while ago.)

Armor;
- Matris wears Leto's old leg wrappings- when he threw his armor away, Matris wanted it, but it was all too big for her. The leg wrappings were the only thing she could tailor to fit her. She put some bird feathers in it simply for the aesthetic- not jackdaw feathers, but something along those lines.
Items;
- Matris has a little, shiny rock that Leto gave her a while ago. At first, it acted like a stress ball and helped Matris let out pent-up anger in a way that wasn't destructive, but now it's more of a comfort item. She really, really likes that rock.
Training;
Mentors;

R O L E P L A Y S A M P L E
As Matris padded through the grass, her coat dappled with the many shadows of the leaves several meters above her head; as sunlight filtered through the foliage, a single leaf fell gently before landing right in front of Matris's paw. For a fleeting second, she hesitated, before strutting over the leaf in her path and subconsciously stepping over it on purpose so as not to crush the thing. As she continued her walk through the forest, she made a mental note: autumn was coming, and they were always colder and more bitter than the autumn she had experienced in Massilia.
Matris didn't care so much about the cold- she was rather fluffy and could handle the cold reasonably well. It was the lack of prey that really concerned her- she was afraid that the many months of bountiful prey that summer had given her had turned her soft and made her forget what being hungry was like, what really having to put effort into hunting was like, and that she and Leto would suffer terribly before finally regaining their balance.
She let out a soft sigh which came out as more of a whistle, which stopped her in her tracks. She whistled again. It came out a bit choppy and off-key, but after some more tries, she began to get the hang of it. After a few seconds, she continued walking again, beginning to whistle some tunes in the rhythm the music Leto had hummed to her for so many nights.
