Species: _KodKod

Rank: _{SH Gladiator}

Birthday: _{February 5}

Age: _{2 yrs}

Description: Slightly more orange than his sisters, Thorn has the eye color of his father and distinct markings. His eye brows are rounded on the outside and come to a close on the inside. He may have a small tuft of hair or non at all. Lighter circles on the backs of his ears. Like his siblings, he has decorative ankle cuffs (on either the front paws or all four), and a collar-like thing. These are made of a lightweight metal and each piece has a diamond-shaped topaz on the front. Additional armor may be created upon adoption, as long as it is lightweight and has a brier design incorporated in it somewhere.  

Backstory: Along with his two sisters, Thorn was born in captivity in the city of Julii. There they grew up with their parents, Olive and Oak, as pets. After the three outgrew their need for parents, they became a little more distant from them, Thorn even butting heads with his father quite often. But generally, they could tolerate each other. Their humans treated them well but rarely let them out of the home where they stayed. The three littermates however, would sneak out at night to explore. 

One night, a thief intending to break into the home spotted the three felines breaking out of the home. Recognizing them as being a rare kind of cat around Rome, (as Kodkods are from South America), the thief instead chose to take the three cats. Thorn and his sisters had never met a bad human before, and so did not fight or run away...then it was too late. The thief stuffed Ivy and Thorn into one bag, and Fern in another. He tossed the bag with Fern in it to an accomplice. The two thieves mounted their horses and tore away into the night. They left the city and headed for Massilia, where they knew felines we a big commodity. The cats could tell by the clanking sounds beside them that they were not the only stolen property these humans had with them. 

Along the way, the terrified cats clawed at their bags, trying to escape. Eventually Ivy and Thorn clawed a hole in their bag and jumped out. They watched as the robbers rode away...as it seemed that Fern had not escaped. The two cats tried to follow the horses, but they were much too fast, and Thorn and Ivy were very much out of shape. Tired, frightened, and worried, the two kodkods hid in the nearby forest. By morning they found themselves surrounded by huge, tough-looking and armor-clad wild cats. The kodkods insisted they did not intend to trespass, and were just lost and didn't know what to do. The gladiators hesitantly escorted the two small felines back to their camp, where their leader introduced them to "Shadow Empire". He said that despite their small stature, they would be allowed to join their ranks as gladiators and train with them, if they so chose. Deciding that aid from these huge cats would ultimately help them find Fern and eventually, their way home, they joined. 

However, little did they know, Fern joined Air Empire. They have yet to discover each other. 

_{*i need to check with Stray to make sure it's alright that we changed their home from having been from Massilia to Julii. Other details need to be fixed as well.*}
