Name: Raja
Meaning of Name: Hopeful
Age: 4
Gender: Female
Species: Cheetah
Sub-species: N/A
Colour: She is a soft creamy-tan colour with dark black spots along her body that form various sizes but not a specific shape. She has a slight tuft of almost pale cream fur with the tiniest gathering of spots along her neck and she has bands around her tail and a black tip. She also has a sort of pale white area around her mouth and muzzle, amber eyes, and black lines forming down to the top lip from her eyes.
Description: Like all Cheetah she has the strangest look of all the big cats with only a head and tail that look anything cat like. She has high shoulders and long legs at the front, whereas shorted propelling legs at the back. Her claws cannot retract giving her extra "tread" as she runs, and her tail is almost the same length as the rest of her body. This tail is useful for balance and steering! But Raja is much more gentle looking and sleeker then most other wild caught cheetahs, she's much more "beautiful" and yet also a lot more worrying when she's mad.
Come From: The Wild
Breeding History: She's bred a few times before but none of her offspring have survived, but she can carry offspring fine!
Health Problems: She's deaf in one ear after a very bad infection the humans treated
History: She was born in a private park owned by a man that seemed to make everyone think he was in to conservation, but actually she was born to be a game trophy later on. She never knew this and grew up surprised that there was very few animals around to cause her and her siblings any trouble, and yet something never seemed to go right. She was the only one in a litter of three cubs to survive and by luck she was the only one to find a hole in the fencing and wander off on her own without fear. She had set up her own territory on the edge of farming land, spending most of her time catching available fawns or just the little rodents, so the farmers were not too bothered by her, plus they had large dogs that she was scared of. In her first season she met two males, a coalition, and she bred civilly with both of them, as cheetah do, and she was pregnant. But the cubs died of a severe parasite infestation, which affected her and caused the deafness. So she went away and was found by a group that were filming and she was darted because of her un-balanced walk. They treated her and her balance returned and they helped her put on a bit of weight, then she was allowed to wander again. She bred once more and once more the cubs died, and then the filming group returned with a scientist from Tempolar. The man was from India, he had been studying the possibility of cheetahs returning to the wilds of India where they had once hunted Black-buck, and he could see how beautiful she was. So he selected Raja and about eight other cheetah from the area, including the coalition boys she had once mated with, and then she arrived in Tempolar and was released.
Mate: She's had lots of mate, lone males and wandering brotherhoods, but none currently
Offspring: She's had them before, but the survival rate is too low and none ever made it past a year
Companions: N/A
Personality: As a female she has no interested in companionship and wants little more in life then to survive. But her experience with man has made her question this recently, they took her away from a home she knew, why?
Interesting/ Extra Details: Her eyes are a really bright almost red amber
ID Number: CHRA0274
Theme Music/ Song: I will Find you (Theme from the Last of the Mohican's) by Clannad
Other: Whoever plays her needs to have a somewhat unique style, or at least a good knowledge of these animals
