TRIVIA
- Link - myo #657
- Ravaging - Their temper, though unfamiliar to most, is said to able to ravage a forest, practically leveling it with destruction. So don't get on xeir bad side.
- Serpent - Xeir ancestors were guardians and keepers of the ancient serpents, or dragons, and many of them gifted their friends with magically-enhanced accessories, thus Rav having an armor-piece.
- Armor - Due to both their underlying insecurity about safety, and because it looks cool, Rav rarely takes off their armor, and therefore, is rarely seen without it on.
- Platinum Sickle - The farming tool gleams in the sunlight, shimmering with remnants of past battles. The shine is often compared to fresh, rigid seaglass under the shallow waves.
- Eyes - Ravaging Serpent's eyes sometimes swirl like a dizzying nightsky when they ponder tough questions. It's said if a cat stares into them long enough, they'll be enchanted and forced to bend to Rav's every whim.
- Phenotype - Silver black-green (genetically red) broken mackerel torbie with mid white

Rav is super modest and gets adorably flustered anytime someone compliments them. This trait, however, melts away in the heat of battle, as they heroically and strategically command their Knights, and lead them all to victory. Overall, they're a level-headed, kind hearted leader who looks after every fellow bandit.
PERSONALITY
Ravaging Serpent is the brave Monarch of the Principality. They started the group after their royal family fell to the injustice of the rogue insurgents. Ever since, the Principality has been recruiting for freedom fighters, and pushing for order to be returned to the realm.
Outside of their duties to the monarchy, Ravaging Serpent is a quiet feline. They prefer to keep to themselves, and when social, stay with closer friends. They tend to get very bashful when complimented or shown excessive affection. This makes them out to be a very deceiving cat, as under the pressure of battle, they become like the knights of legend, swiftly commandeering their forces and leading them to a smooth victory, but they honestly have no secrets. Except their slight crush on Warped Howl, the group's political representative.
Overview
Ravaging Serpent is the founder of the Principality and one of the previous nobles who had to watch their beloved kingdom turn to ruin around them, helpless. Xeir father was the ruler of a small province within Ophigar and taught his children about all the good characteristics a leader must possess. This made a huge impact on Rav as xey grew up. Xey always get flustered when xey get complimented, and xey are extremely modest about xeir tactical and weapon-weilding abilities.
Lineage
The lineage lead by Ravaging Serpent is said to have a close connection to the ancient Serpents, or dragons of the land. Many of xeir ancestors commanded the reptiles of the sky, land, and sea with others making work of slaying them one by one. No matter how each cat felt towards serpents, they all deeply respected them for their cunning and beauty, so much so that the best of them were actually given dragon-enchanted gifts, like Ravaging Serpent's serpent-bone armor. Xeir armor has minor healing magic that essentially is an encouraging voice in the back of xeir head, pushing xem forward in battle. Once xey take it off, the voice disappears and xey feel slightly more drained than before.

Oncoming Storm is the first kit born under the harsh circumstances of the Principality. As a result, he has this overwhelming expectation to not disappoint both his parents and the entirety of the bandit group. The only cat he really opens up to about this is his mentor, Ravagaing Serpent. They fully understand and kindly guide them through every tough spot, both in training and in daily life.
Warped Howl came into the Principality scene later on in their escapades. He instantly captured Rav's eyes with his dangerous aura and suave, poison-laced way of speaking. Warp was the perfect candidate for the group's political nuncio, or representative in the other biomes, and Ravaging Serpent was quite set in their ways, despite being warned about Warp's sketchy past, and possible ulterior motives. Thus far, however, he's proven himself just as persuasive as Rav thought, and he's disarmed many of the rogues' attempts at aligning with the neighboring areas, keeping Ophigar under control for the time being.
These two cats share one parent, hence the 'half' part, but both are leaders within their own lane. Ravaging Serpent leads the Principality, Robin Hood style, while Queenly Doe leads the Maidens, or babysitters. She more or less assigned herself the role, but Rav didn't complain. The other, regular Maidens might've complained a tad if they'd known what the title 'Head Maiden' entailed. Spoiler, a lot of "No, do it this way, not that way" and "You're not singing the lullaby at the correct key, dear!"
Hecate met Rav when she was banished to the mortal world by the Ophigaric deity and forced to live under harsh and unfamiliar conditions. After meeting Dazzling Orchid and traversing the dangerous landscape from the jungle biome to central Ophigar, Mystifying Hecate made her presence known and stated her predicament to Rav. They told her that they'd help, and she was perfectly welcome to stay in the mean time, granted she'd help with the fight against the invasive rogues. Ever since, she's advised Ravaging Serpent in battle tactics, matters of the feline heart, and so much more.
