1/10/20. Sparkle is a puma Satyr and can make impressive jumps and walk well on snow because of such. Her tail is very thick and heavy, helping with balance and providing a formidable swat. Her name isn't really Sparkle, but it's an alias she prefers to go by "to keep herself safe". She decided she didn't like her parents at a young age and ran away from home with only a backpack she filled with items she thought she would need. Being a child, this wasn't a very good list of things. Her planned escape route also wasn't very far away from her home, so she found it difficult to hide once people started looking for her. Despite all the holes in her plan, she didn't give up on it, instead running further away. She got very lost in the process and wandered for quite some time, ending up in a totally different city. There, she claimed to be an orphan and gained entry to an orphanage. Once there, she made an effort not to be adopted, being friendly to the other children there, but nasty towards any adults. There were a few couples who wanted a 'problem child' to work on, but Sparkle did everything she could to be returned to the orphanage and would always get her way (to a point where the children would always be impressed, albeit baffled). She used the orphanage as free lodging until she became a legal adult. At that point, she embarked out on her own in the new city that she was now fairly familiar with.
For a while, Sparkle was homeless as she got established in the city, but it didn't bother her. She was working towards getting a job and didn't mind sleeping in an abandoned building until an application went through. Regretfully, the area she chose had several undesirable people lurking about who attempted to kidnap her one night. A dude came alone, armed with a poorly spiked bat, and intended to drag her off somewhere, but she resisted. A fight stared to ensue, but she unintentionally (at least partially) tore him to shred with her claws until death. Because she's got big ones. Although she reported the incident, it wasn't covered well and rumors went around that she was a killer. This did not help with her job application plan. After spending some more time out on the streets, it became clear that nobody really wanted a murder cat lady working for them. Thus, she was like alright! Guess I'm a stripper now! Sparkle then worked as a pole dancer in a club where her reputation remained, but sort of added to her allure and theme she was building up. She was generally allowed to chose whether or not she would do any private sessions, which she usually did not (being one part hard-to-get, other part not getting frisky with an ugly dude, thanks). She continued to work there for several years, getting buff as heck in the process.
Sparkle and Charles met how you'd expect a guy and a gal in a strip club to. She found him charming and he couldn't care less about her "murderer" reputation, considering. Them meeting up became a habit, but Sparkle remained fairly elusive about most non-club things. Because she would rather not be attacked again, nothing personal. At that point, though, Charles was already set in his ways and they would continue to meet. After a substantial amount of time, but not too far that breaking off would leave ~emotional scars~, he told her that he was part of a horrible crime family to see if it bothered her. She took it in stride as long as he promised not to send a mafia after her. He promised her the opposite effect. With that out of the way, they continued on to be pretty much bf, gf.
Charles divulged a plan that would get her out of the club and into the my-family's-rich-you-don't-have-to-work zone if she wanted to do so. She told him she'd think on it, but disappeared a couple of months after with no reply. After being unable to find her, Charles grew worried and started to search for her. Some weeks later, he was able to locate her in an abandoned building located in a half-charred area of the city that hadn't been deconstructed nor rebuilt. She'd moved her belongings there and, when approached about why, admitted that she'd discovered she was pregnant. She didn't know who the father was due to her line of work and had feared this would upset Charles, so she ran off and was working on some kind of a plan for later. He was mostly just exasperated that she'd been hiding this whole time, probably watching him go around in circles. He didn't mind her having the kids, but wanted her to be free of the risk of more (and not living on the streets! Gosh!!) She refused to leave the shell of a building for several more months, as she was pretty shaken up. When it started to get cold out, Charles invested in a nearby apartment and insisted she stay there with him. He was really not keen on the idea of her giving birth in her current situation.... She agreed after mulling it over for a few days and proved to be much happier once inside again (because duh). During this time, she decided she'd just kinda disappear from the club and, after the babies were born, the city as well.
Sparkle had three healthy kits during the winter months. Despite being worn down from having and caring for them, she insisted on leaving the city as soon as possible. Arrangements weren't hard for Charles to make and he relocated the five of them further down the continent, closer to his childhood home (note, though, not "next to". Just closer). The following year, she made sure she was medically sterilized despite the risk of another accident now being very low. She and Charles raised her kits together and the two of them eventually got married
