Rank: Gatherer

Age: 2 years

Gender: Female

Breed: Laperm X Mutt

Faction: Nyota Gang

Orientation: Straight

Religious Beliefs: Novella believes that the gods are real, but that they are unhappy at them for some reason. She fears that they will become so angry at them that the gods might turn their backs on the Gang forever. However, she doesn't think about this very often.

Appearance: Novella can easily be spotted out of a crowd by her curly fur that she keeps as clean as possible. She has three large scars on her left hind leg as well as a few smaller scars. Her fur length is medium. Novella is quite a dainty she-cat, being a few inches shorter than the average female of her age. Her legs are not exactly the longest either; although, she wishes they were longer and more feminine.

Accessories: Pink bow

Voice actor: Black Widow- en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scarle…

Personality:
Sassy|Rude|Motherly|Classy|Insecure|Gossiper|Loud

Sassy|Rude 'I don't like the tone of voice you're using, so fix it!'
Novella isn't the largest cat, but she definately has the biggest attitude. She has no fear in stating her opinion about you or anyone else even if they are a higher rank; although, most of the time, she doesn't really mind any of the higher ranking cats. Novella is by far probably one of the smallest cats in the Gang, but she still isn't afraid of speaking her mind. If you say or do something she doesn't like, Novella will tell them straight out that she doesn't like what they are saying, which often leads others to not like her. She also isn't afraid to cut you off, if you are talking, to get her opinion heard.

Motherly 'Aw. Come here sweetheart. I'll help you.'
Due to her rough kithood, Novella is always trying to make other's lives better, despite her rudeness. If you're hurt or sick, she will instantly try to help you out as much as she can. Most of time, so long as you don't say anything that she doesn't agree with, she is a kind, caring cat. Due to her big attitude, she doesn't have many friends, so she tends to treat the ones she has as well as she can.

Classy 'That's much too muddy for me to walk through.'
Novella is the queen of beauty and class just like her mother was. She adores her curly fur and pink bow and tries her hardest to keep both of them clean. In social situations, she is very good at talking; although, she might be not-ladylike when it comes to her backtalking. It doesn't bother her to talk in front of groups, but she doesn't do this very often due to her not being a very a high rank. She often tries to use her beauty to get what she wants, getting toms to do pretty much anything, which thrills her. Novella loves to know that others like her enough to do her a favor now and again.

Insecure 'What do you mean I'm too small?!'
Even with her overly large attitude, Novella is a very insecure cat. This is why she is always trying to act pretty and classy around other gang members, and also why she acts so sassy. Novella feels like if she doesn't act the way she does, she won't be heard by anyone. Not being heard or noticed by someone is her top fear; if someone ignores her, she feels like she will eventually fade away into nothing.

Gossiper 'I heard they hooked up last night, but they both don't want a serious relationship right now, and all I can think about is 'then why did you sleep with him?!''
This she-cats lives for gossip. Novella can often be found talking about who did what or who was talking with whom with other like-minded cats. She loves to know as much as possible about the felines that she lives with, and she'll try her hardest to pry things out of cats. Prying and sharing information is like a hobby of her's; one that she happens to be very good at. Novella uses her beauty to get others to tell her anything she wants, and if that doesn't work, she uses her small size to act vulnerable because who wouldn't talk to someone who doesn't look like a threat? If a prisoner needed to be questioned, they would get Novella to get them to talk.

Loud 'What do you mean I'm shouting?!'
Due to Novella's fear of being unheard, she often talks loudly to ensure that she is heard. Most of the time, she doesn't even notice that she is speaking in a way that everyone can hear. She also speaks loudly, so that others know that that she thinks her opinions are important. However, if you are close to her, she does find a more quiet voice. She doesn't want to scare off any of the few friends that she has.

History:

Kithood
Novella's parents were two young cats that had fallen head over heels for each other. Her mother, Victoria, gave birth to four healthy kits, thrilling both her and her mate, Roger. They taught their children the proper way of life early on, telling them that acting mature and well behaved. However, due to Novella's small stature, she often found herself not being heard over her siblings. This sprouted the start of her sassy and loud personality. Her mother was shocked at her daughter's sudden attitude change and claimed it wasn't very ladylike to have such a strong voice and opinion, but it was too late. The small kit had figured out that if she acted like a big cat, she would get treated like one. Her sassiness more often than not lead her to being beat my her mother. Victoria would unsheath her claws and swat at her for being rude. Sometimes she would be mad enough to draw blood, leaving Novella with a few scars which upset Novella enough to fear and dislike her mother.

Training
Novella was silently very nervous to start her gatherer training. She worried that her small size would stop her from accomplishing a lot if things that a gatherer had to do. Soon after she started though, she learned she could use her smaller size to her own advantage. She became a pro at sneaking and stealing the fish that the fishermen caught. They wouldn't even see her until it was too late. Novella learned to love her job so much that she couldn't imagine not doing it. She loved the feeling of feeding her friends and family, doing something that help the gang.

Gatherer
To this day, Novella still loves her job. Her sassy attitude still keeps others from liking her very much, but it doesn't seem to bother her too much. Her mother and father are proud of her accomplishments; although, her mother stills wishes she were a more polite she-cat.

-DA notes=* best way to RP for me

RP sample:
From CW:
Ryder looked around the green place for a spot to lay down for the night. He was glad to see happier faces on his herd-mates but worried about what would happen when this was all gone. There couldn't be much more vegetation on the island after the fires had burned most of it. The paint horse shook his head, trying to rid himself of the troubling thoughts; he needed to focus on the present.
As he found a spot near the edge of the herd, Ryder looked around one last time. The night was clear, and he could see the guards changing shifts. He also noticed a mare guard making her way into the charred forest. He frowned in confusion; it was dangerous to go out alone especially since it was nighttime. 'A guard should know better,' he thought, continuing to watch her disappear into the ashes. Just as Ryder was about to look away and lay down for the night, he noticed a dark shadow stalking after the Exile guard. He opened his eyes wide and flicked his ears forward in shock. The predator would sure kill or hurt her if she continued on alone. Ryder sighed, casting glances at the other guards. No one else had noticed the mare slip away let alone the killer animal following her. 'I guess I've got to go after her then,' he thought as he made his way to one of the other guards. He wouldn't be able to live with himself if he let someone get hurt. So, Ryder, embarrassed and urgently, asked the guard if he could go relieve himself in the charred forest; in return, the guard gave him a curious look and a nod. "Thank you," he whispered.
Ryder cantered off in the direction where he had seen the guard last; he needed to find her fast before the predator found her. Anxiety ate at his insides as he searched the forest for any signs of life. He swiveled his ears to try to catch any sound of hooves on the forest floor but only heard his own. She couldn't have gone that far. He stopped to listen. A few yards away, he could make out the sound of hooves. Ryder shot forward, not thinking about anything but protecting one of his herd-mates. His hooves pounded on the ground as he turned around a burned tree trunk to be greeted with the mare he had been looking for. Ryder skidded to a halt, almost running right into her. He looked behind her before saying, "Did you there was a predator following you?"
