BEHAVIOUR

[Caring, Friendly] - "Hey! It's great to see you're ok!"
One of Sii's defining traits, she tries to help out cats in need, it is her priority in life and why she joined the empire in the first place. Are you a wild cat or just a cat in need? She is on the scene to support you and help you get home, wherever that home may be. Some might say it's reckless and childish to believe you can do this for everyone, however Sikeena believes that even just a smile can make a difference. All these cats are still cats after all. Besides, maybe one might be surprised by your actions and think more carefully over why they are doing this.

[Passionate, Devotted] - "Can't stop now, we got so many cats to help out!"
Sii tries really hard, and is conscious of the needs of those around her. Hence, when they need something, she will spend extended amounts of time and effort to achieve that one thing. This trait is also what drives her into battle, not to fight, but to try and help those who she loves to escape at her own risk. This trait can be applied to cat's of conflicting backgrounds, so doesn't quite count as loyalty. If it was important enough, she would likely go behind her empire's back to complete a cause.

[Inexperienced, Amateurish] - "Haha... sorry I didn't bring back much. I did try hard, really!"
Sikeena never excelled in hunting or fighting, and never had a figure in her young life who was able to train her on those areas long enough to make an impact. She also grew up in a secluded place in the wild, and so only knew of the natural life of a wild cat for most of her cubhood. Now older, she lacks those skill and facts that most felines in an empire would consider basic knowledge to survive out there. Sii will try and push this aside by developing the other skills which she has picked up from her travels; however those are less useful in day to day circumstances.

[Trusting, Gullible] - "I don't know why the other's wouldn't help, but I can for a bit."
Going hand in hand with her desire to help, Sikeena will quickly put her trust in a cat if they aren't attacking her. Perhaps this is due to her unfamiliarity with the hunter/empire relationships, and with her few interactions in the wild being positive. Sii would reason that if you don't trust a cat, how would they ever trust you? Whilst this is particularly true; this can also result in her trust being abused if done via a facade.

[Attentive, Eager] - *listens eagerly*
Sikeena is a good listening ear, and whilst she might not fully understand what is being said or take it to heart; don't doubt that she won't forget it. If you need someone to take a message, gather resources, or patrol, she won't let you down in the support category. Sii is very much a follower, but she will always give her best as one.

[Spontaneous, Random] - *SCREAMS in the middle of camp*
When you have only been alone or with the strange, you tend to pick up some strange mannerisms. Whether it be screaming, clinging, dancing or diving (and getting stuck) in rabbit hole; Sii isn't above doing some out of place things, and then continuing on like its normal. She at least is aware that some might view it as strange thanks to her old adoptive mother, however this clearly doesn't make a large enough impact to stop her from doing it. Sometimes she will encourage others to join her too.

Current mood: Eager, Happy
Whilst what happened to Air empire is terrible and she is worried for the felines in the group; this is Sikeena's first chance in life to really make an impact on the lives of others and to prove her worth to the world. Hence, she is trying to be happy to cheer other cats up.
When Happy; Bubbly, cheerful
When Depressed; Can't sit still, avoids interactions
When Angry; *similar to depressed*

Priorities: To help others out in non-violent ways
Philosophy: If you want things to get better, you should start it off yourself.

Posture; Dem short backlegs make it look bad but its actually average
Gait; Average
Coordination; Average
Habits and Mannerisms; Bobbs up and down when excited, lots of ear movements
Scent; DON'T YA LOVE THE SMELL OF ASH IN THE MORNING

KEY SKILLS:
MAIN SKILL: Perseverance
DEVELOPING SKILLS: Swimming, Climbing

QUIRKS AND OTHER FACTS:
- Sii knows lots of random tricks and skills, however lacks knowledge in the more general areas like fighting and hunting
- Sikeena is a pacifist! She will take the blow for them so they can escape in battle
- Whilst she doesn't have many Phobias, if you surprise her, Sikeena will scream. She also will quickly recover afterwards.
- If a hunter needed aid, Sii would help them
- Sikeena, like most jungle cats, is an amazing swimmer and is good at climbing - all be it a slower climber due to her back legs.
- Sii's adoptive mother spoilt her a lot, and hence Sii put on a bit of weight when with that group.
- Her back legs are shorter, which might be why she struggled at catching flying prey. But don't mistake them for weak, they are still strong legs.
- She is proud of her wild cat background as lots of felines never had the chance to grow up without human influence. However she won't mention this unless directly asked.

BACKGROUND
[Before Joining Air Empire]

Sikeena had been a wild cat, and hence was born in the wild like most jungle cats. Due to the solitary nature of their species, she never knew her father, and the closest bond she had within her blood family was with her mother. Her mother taught her and her 2 siblings how to hunt so that around 6 months all the cubs were able to feed themselves. Sikeena was the worst hunter of them, sticking mainly to the land rodents to obtain food. The small family grew up in a dense swampland, and so all of them grew into efficient swimmers and climbers.
The most restless of the children; Sii wasn't satisfied with just knowing the basics to be a jungle cat and so was the first to leave her mother at just under 8 months.
Leaving the swampy territory of her mother, Sikeena travelled towards open plans. It was different to the terrain she was used to and hence she was drawn to try and practised her air hunting. She was worse at that, however that didn't deter her too much. The she-cat would travel in the evenings and at night, hunt in the mornings, and sleep around midday. Eventually, she marked her own territory in a marshy plain near a lake, and at the time was set to practise her skills from this rich location.
This changed when an unruly group of felines crossed over the edge of her territory, led by an Arabian Leopard. It was strange for the wild cat to see the mixture of species existing together: don't different species usually stay away from each other? Upon questioning, the Leopard known as Skua revealed that he was on a continuous journey to support felines who either needed his help, or who would just like company. The excitement for travelling to new places from her cubhood was rekindled and she agreed to go along with this bizarre bundle of cats.
The journey changed Sikeena's perspective of the world. A mother in the group took Sii under her wing and revealed that Skua's strange way of thinking is common to felines who have encountered "humans", a non-feline species who didn't view felines as equals most of the time. It was fascinating to Sikeena to hear how this world had existed all this time without her knowing. Skua, when asked, would avoid talking about his past; instead spreading ideas of bettering oneself and helping others to develop. If you didn't think it was possible, you weren't trying hard enough! Sii bought into this mentality, to the dismay of her adoptive mother, and started joining in on the strange training sessions that the leopard would run.
It wasn't until one day when one of the mother's actual cubs got accidentally hurt (they had been practising their downwards descents and the cub had landed badly) that the mother had had enough. Rounding up all her cubs, including Sii, she departed from the group, determined to have them all settle back into the wild cat's way of life. However, now that Sii's way of thinking had changed, she couldn't find it in herself to settle down into a territory and be content with that. She wanted to go and find other felines, learn about them and their skills. Help them if possible! And so, once the rest of the family had claimed their territory, Sikeena travelled away at night.
Since Sii had been avoiding the mountains up until now (due to the species’ preference in habitat), it made sense that if she wanted to find new felines she should go in that direction. She still avoided travelling directly over them, and instead slowly made her way around them, but still rising in attitude. It was from this new vantage point that she got her first glance at Massilina and Juli. She also came across a scent reminiscent of a territory marker; although the number of cats’ scents mixed in it along with strange markings carved in certain pieces of the landscape confused her. Did groups that cats which had been around humans really grow that big? Did they settle down into territories like this? How did they feed themselves and not fight with each other? Did these settled cats want any more members? These questions kept her on the border, and so she made a den nearby and watched them with curiosity.
One day a sharp, choking scent washed over her, causing her to scrabble back up the mountain to escape from it. From there, Sii could see a thick cloud emanating from Juli, creeping through the forest and fields. She didn't know how big the territory of this group was, however she guessed that the red light coming from the trees had destroyed a lot of it. It was pressing. Hot. Dangerous. The group should have seen it coming, right? Sikeena eagerly looked for any cat near the border who could be escaping the light.
Nightfall came and went. None emerged.

Large flaky dust had started to settle when Sikeena was finally able to check for survivors in the territory of the hot light. Sii's search took her near a body of water, with her looking for possible life that went in there to cool down. That made sense, right? A surprise attack from a African Golden Cat soon knocked her from her wondering; the lone male demanding if she had come from the 'city'. Not expecting it, Sii screamed, but quickly regained her composure, nervously smiling as she tried to explain that she was here to help and had been a wild cat all her life. When she had convinced him, he apologised, but looked apprehensive when her strange excitement returned at the prospect of finally being able to help other cats out. Either way, when she requested if she could join the group and help them, he was a little taken back, but appreciated the offer. Hence, that was the day when Sikeena joined Air empire; scraping together some armour for protection from the advice from that African Golden cat, who she later learned was called Nemo.
