[⛰️] Evangeline

• Short Desciption: a cream colourpoint molly with yellow eyes.
  

Evangeline is a cream colour point molly, with thick, well-groomed, slightly wavy fur. She is large and slightly round in appearance, and has small ears and a round face. Her striped limbs and tail are all a darker shade of orange. She has a diamond-like marking on her forehead, and a scar on the left side of her muzzle. Though her face often remains neutral, her eyes are a striking gold.

Evangeline uses formal and precise language and avoids slang. Befitting her angelic appearance, Evangeline's voice is soft and melodious, with a controlled and measured tone. Her voice is soothing, but has an underlying sense of detachment, as if she keeps a certain distance from others even in her speech. She always displays elegance, her body language and gestures are never not graceful.

Evangeline, a molly of undeniable beauty and refined demeanor, was born into a comfortable home as part of a large litter of kittens. From the very beginning, it was clear that she possessed an air of authority that set her apart from her siblings. Even as a young kitten, she exuded a certain self-importance that drew the attention of those around her.

As time went on, Evangeline's grace and poise caught the eye of a new household. She was adopted into this home, where she mostly resided indoors but frequently ventured into the well-maintained garden. In this space, she befriended some of the neighbourhood cats, consisting mainly of others who shared her snooty disposition. They reveled in teasing and taunting the "lesser" cats that dared to cross their path, and Evangeline initially participated with enthusiasm.

However, as she matured, Evangeline's perspective began to shift. She started to recognize the unfairness of their actions and the hurt they caused to those they mocked. Gradually, she distanced herself from the cruel antics, though her beauty and social standing still earned her a place within the group. This growing disconnect didn't sit well with everyone in the group, particularly one cat who felt threatened by Evangeline's independence and influence.

Driven by envy and perhaps a lack of empathy, this cat began manipulating the others against Evangeline. Seeds of doubt were sown, turning their loyalty away from her. Eventually, the atmosphere became hostile, and Evangeline found herself targeted by the very companions she once thought were friends.

One day, under the pretense of companionship, Evangeline was lured into a trap by her former friends. Unaware of their intentions, she entered a confined space, only to be ensnared. The mocking that followed was both shocking and heartbreaking. The one who had orchestrated her downfall reveled in the betrayal, viciously clawing at her muzzle, leaving scars that would forever serve as a reminder of her vulnerability.

As her former friends departed, leaving her trapped and wounded, Evangeline realized the extent of her isolation. The experience shattered her trust in others and forced her to confront the harsh reality of her situation. The once proud and confident molly now found herself trapped not only physically, but emotionally as well. This moment would shape Evangeline's future interactions and choices. The event had stripped away any remaining illusions of friendship, leaving her with a lasting sense of caution and an unwavering commitment to never expose her vulnerabilities again. Her natural tendency toward a composed demeanor became a fortress, shielding her from the potential pain of betrayal.

Evangeline would emerge from this ordeal with a newfound understanding of the importance of self-preservation. While her exterior maintained an air of superiority and aloofness, her heart bore the scars of past friendships turned sour. She now realised she had always been navigating a world where trust was a precious commodity, and her polished facade was a shield to wield with precision.

After enduring what felt like an eternity of captivity, Evangeline's misery was finally interrupted by the arrival of unfamiliar cats. These cats hailed from a place called the RoseNest, and among them was a tom named Ogre. The sight of Ogre initially sent a shiver of worry down her spine, as she recognized him as a target of her previous group of so-called friends. However, to her surprise, Ogre's gaze held a mixture of empathy and understanding.

Moved by compassion, Ogre managed to rally his friends' assistance to free Evangeline. As the cold metal of the trap finally released her, Evangeline couldn't help but feel a glimmer of gratitude, mixed with the uncertainty of her next steps. Now free, Evangeline found herself at a crossroads. She was far from home and disoriented, uncertain about her desires and direction. She didn't even know if returning to her former life was something she wanted. Ogre and his companions, sensing her turmoil, offered their support. They suggested helping her find her way back to her housefolk, but she hesitated, realizing that she had little desire to face her former acquaintances again. Ogre, then, offered an alternative: the RoseNest.

Accepting the offer with cautious hesitation, Evangeline allowed herself to be led to this unfamiliar place. The RoseNest, an abandoned cottage with a sprawling, enchanting garden, housed a diverse group of cats. Among them were those who had escaped the clutches of a kitten mill, leading to the presence of various mutations that marked their unique appearances. At first, the sight of these unusual cats startled Evangeline, but their genuine warmth and kindness began to dispel her initial discomfort.

As the months went by, Evangeline gradually settled into life within the RoseNest. The cats here allowing her to find her place in this newfound sanctuary. She soon discovered that the role of a Gardener suited her well. Her intelligence and appreciation for plants made her adept at tending to herbs and nurturing the garden's beauty. In the quiet moments spent amidst the foliage, she found a sense of solace, a distraction from the painful memories that still haunted her.

Despite her past experiences, the RoseNest provided her with opportunities to form new relationships. However, her wounds hadn't fully healed, and she remained guarded. She built social circles cautiously, always maintaining a distance to protect herself from the possibility of hurtful betrayal. The time she shared with the cats of the RoseNest was genuine, yet her walls of self-preservation remained steadfast, a testament to the scars of her past.

As time flowed by within the embrace of the RoseNest, Evangeline's heart began to stir with a curious restlessness. While the serenity of the garden offered her solace, a part of her longed for a different kind of challenge, a purpose that extended beyond the cottage walls. The murmurs of visiting the Clans reached her ears, igniting a spark of intrigue within her.

Amidst the conversations that buzzed through the RoseNest, Evangeline couldn't help but feel drawn to the idea of the Clans. Tales of distant lands, each with their own unique way of life and their own codes of honor, captured her imagination. The prospect of embracing a new identity, separate from her painful past, held a tantalizing allure.

Evangeline's past experiences had taught her the value of resilience, and the clans seemed like a place where she could put that resilience to the test. The structure and discipline of clan life appealed to her sense of order and detail, traits that she had always carried with her. She saw the clans as a chance to start anew, to prove her worth on her own terms, away from the memories that still haunted her within the familiar surroundings of the RoseNest. The thought of forging her own path in a different land, surrounded by cats who knew nothing of her past, offered her a sense of liberation. It was an opportunity to reinvent herself, to cast aside the old wounds that had held her captive for so long.

As the chatter among the RoseNest cats about visiting these clans gained momentum, a quiet determination formed within her. The day finally arrived when the decision was made to embark on this expedition. Evangeline followed with a mixture of excitement and trepidation. The familiar faces of the RoseNest cats accompanied her as they ventured beyond their sanctuary, their paws carrying them toward the unknown.

The journey itself was an adventure of its own, and upon arrival Evangeline got the chance to explore the territories. Each clan offered a glimpse into a different way of life. She absorbed the unique qualities of each clan, mentally cataloging the values that resonated with her.

Highclan was nestled within the cliffs. The air was crisp and invigorating, the landscape itself a testament to strength and resilience. The camaraderie among the Highclan cats felt genuine, and the cats valued loyalty and trust. Evangeline's journey had led her to Highclan, a place where her meticulous nature and unwavering resolve could be harnessed for the greater good.

After joining Highclan, Evangeline was quick to settle into the life of a warrior. Though, she found herself missing her gardening, and was disappointed to find only Medicine Cats tended to herbs and plants in the territory. Evangeline continued on though, but secretly wishes that one day her knowledge might be called upon.
