Description
Name : Xrnta (a.k.a. Ice Cat)
Pronunciation : Zern-tuh
Species : Lynx

Height
Xrnta stands about 182 centimeters tall, not including her ears. Including her ears, she is about 195 centimeters tall.

Territory
Xrnta lives in the Northern Pandoran Rainforest. Yes, she lives on Pandora. Yes, it is the place from the movie Avatar. The forest looks about the same as it does in the movie, with everything glowing at night and such, except in Xrnta’s territory, it is extremely cold, and often snowy. Do not ask me how a rainforest exists in the freezing cold. It just does. Also, all the same animals from Earth exist on Xrnta's Pandora, as well as the ones from the movie.
...And also dragons.

Clothing
Xrnta makes her clothing herself with the skins of the animals she has hunted for food. She will sometimes dye the skins different colors using things like berry juice and rock powder. Xrnta also makes lots of jewelry out of things like feathers, shells and colorful river stones. She will even use the bones of the prey to make jewelry, shaping them small enough to form beads and such.

Food
Xrnta is a skilled huntress. She used a hand crafted bow and arrows to hunt for her food. She doesn’t believe in wasting any part of the animal she has killed, so she used the skins to make clothing and the bones to make things like weapons and jewelry. She also knows which kinds of plants in her territory are good to eat and which are poisonous, and how to harvest them.

Language
English is not Xrnta’s first language. Her first language is the native language of her Clan. She speaks fluently in both English and her native language, but with a slight accent when speaking English.

Battle
Xrnta is extremely skilled in combat. She is deadly with a blade of any kind (swords, knives, etc.) but prefers a sword. She also knows martial arts, which has made her very agile and fast. The fact that she hunts also makes her stealthy. She is also capable of using her bow and arrows in combat, but it is not her strong point. When going to battle, she wears a suit of armor that is ice blue (a color very similar to her eyes) and carries dual swords on her back and a knife at her hip. The blades of the swords and knife are extremely cold to the touch and are shifting shades of blue and white.

Personality
Xrnta has a generally kind, warm-hearted personality. Though she is often distrusting of strangers, she is very friendly once she gets to know someone. She doesn't like to talk much, being perfectly content to sit and listen to a conversation rather than contribute anything to it, and is capable of remaining silent for long periods of time. She will most often wait and observe a situation before speaking or taking any action. She loves nature and hates to see it damaged or destroyed and will always do her best to protect it. She is honest and humble, and will always speak the truth, valuing these same qualities. In a nutshell: cool and calm.

Family
Xrnta has one sister, Narti, the Fire Fox.

Random Information
Yes, Xrnta’s hair is supposed to look like that, and no, it has not been dyed. Her hair naturally grows in two different colors.

Yes, her tail is also supposed to be like that. Contrary to the short thin tails most lynxes have, her tail is very long and fluffy.

Xrnta is always wearing a pair of earrings, but most often they are the ice blue ones shown here.

Xrnta’s body is built for her to walk on her toes all the time, as shown here. It is actually uncomfortable for her to walk flat-footed like a human does, just as it would be uncomfortable for a human to walk on their toes.

Xrnta is a fast runner, but like a human, she can only go for a certain amount of time. Her lion, Vortex, however, can go much farther. Yes, she has a lion. So, Vortex is a big, muscular male lion with a jet black mane and he’s kind of Xrnta’s best friend/pet. Vortex allows Xrnta to ride on his back, and the bond between them is very strong. He can speak just like Xrnta can, even though he is not an anthro. Xrnta rescued him when he was just a cub, abandoned by his mother, and gave him a home, raising him herself. This also contributed to the strong bond they share.

You can probably tell from all this why Xrnta is also known as the Ice Cat; it’s not that she has mystical, magical powers and can do things like freeze water with a wave of her hand, but that ice is her element; it is where she is most comfortable, what she was built for and what she knows best.

Actual Artist's Comments!!!
Okay, I apologize for that ridiculously long rant up there that you just had to read, there is just so much detail about Xrnta that I couldn't fit it all onto the picture itself.

So, anyway, here I am! All about me!

I included a palette of base colors that you could use as a reference, since this is in fact a reference sheet!

I also put her in a very simple outfit with very basic colors. Simplicity for reference purposes.

This character is (c) to me! No use without permissions!

Enjoy! ^^
