Profile
Ana BoaRisk-Taking Nobody
| + Exploration, video games, fashion technology, bugs & comfort. |
| - Bossiness, liars, authority figures & being open and vulnerable. |
Personality: Ana loves hanging out with her friends, chatting outside while eating snacks and going out to fun hangout spots. She likes to go wherever life leads her and doesn't like to feel pressured. When she's stressed or confronted she tends to get ahead of herself and make hasty decisions. Ana cares a lot about her image and what others think of her, and is known to get a bit cranky when something goes wrong in front of the people she likes. Letting go of embarrassing moments is extra difficult for her. When she wants to be alone she explores the city, often searching low traffic areas to find a view of the city she hasn't seen before.
Ana loves diving deep into her interests like fashion, technology, games and bugs. Ana knows she has security and friends who love her, but when she dips down in periods of melancholy she feels scared that she is still not enough. When people look down on her or assume she's not the image she has of herself, it's hard for her to accept that and move on. Spending time with friends or family usually help to ease these worries.
Abilities: Due to her species (Big cat) she has good flexibility, speed and agility. She can climb structures easily. She also always lands on all three/her feet when she falls.
Looks: Her fur is slick and has a dark pink plum colour, her eye whites are yellow, and her irises are green. She has one arm, she was born with one left arm (from her point of view.) Her tail is long and her feet are big. On her hand she has natural black claws. Her flesh and blood is red.
Backstory
Ana grew up with her mom and dad in the outskirts of Güneş city, her dad Themba worked in construction, and her mom was a stay-at-home mom. Ana had a big fixation on bugs, and loved reading about them with her mom Arezu. Often they would go out together with net in hand trying to catch some to later examine and release. Her mom wasn't a stay-at-home mom by choice, she had a deep, clinical depression that disabled her from working. Ana didn't mind most of the time (mostly because she didn't always fully understand) but other times were hard. It developed into her being confused, and a little bit guilty for sharing her problems with her mom, who she knew already had so many problems to deal with.
When Ana was 14, Themba passed away due to an accident at work. Things became really hard for Ana and Arezu. Her mom had always tried her best to listen to Ana and take care of her, but she knew that she couldn't handle it all alone after Thembas passing. So Ana got put into school, a school where you could stay in but then go back to mom on weekends. Ahtapot High School (Ahtapot or AHS for short) became her second home, but it was hard. Things were still really hard, and stayed really hard for a very, very long time. Ana was stressed out over having to redo classes, feeling like she let down her mom despite Arezus best efforts of encouragement. After a while things became less hard. And after another while things became better. But deep inside Ana still feel a detrimental loss of control she worries she will never feel again.
