:bulletblack: INTRODUCTION :bulletblack:
_____________________________________________
Hey EBC pals! I'm sure you've noted my inactivity with my hunter, Ysabel. I adopted her a good long while ago, and started off relatively active with her. Unfortunately, that faded after a long time and now she has been very inactive. So I, along with Breezy-likes-to-RP , had a little discussion and decided that I would like to post this journal to sort of put out some feelers, figure out what I am going to do with her. 

Ysabel the Unlikely Hunter by Rowan-Feather

:bulletblack: BACKGROUND INFORMATION :bulletblack:
_____________________________________________
Ysa was born with two brothers in the city, Alvere and Nadav (Her brother Nadav is still in the city, and also a hunter). At a young age, Nadav got lost in a caravan raid and was taken into Ice empire. Ysabel and the rest of the family assumed he was dead, killed by the empires. As a result, Ysabel hates the empires with a burning passion. She is not intensely vocal about this by nature, but she does not shy away from giving harsh opinions on the empires if asked. 

Ysabel has partaken in two raids, one in Ice, where she met Tertius. Tertius has since then become an important cat in her life, the two have grown close. A major plot with Ysa is her ship with Teri! The two grew closer in the second raid they attended, in Lightning empire, where they captured Blink, by working as a team. The two also shared a cold day together, where the two bonded over mutual dislike of a (NPC) hunter and enjoyed some friendly competition. At the large hunter event that occurred more recently, Ysabel was a strong silent force backing Tertius up, reinforcing her negative views of the empires. She is also known to be crafty, able to adjust to the situation if it calls for it. When two empire cats cornered and questioned her about her origins after saving her from a pack of coyotes, she lied her way out of it. She is smart, crafty, and will make sure that she comes out of every situation on top- unless it compromises the Hunters.

Ysabel is a tough trainer, hardworking and willing to push herself past limits to achieve what needs to be done. She will go the extra mile, though usually she travels it while backing up her buddy Teri. 

:bulletblack: ADOPTION INFORMATION :bulletblack:
_____________________________________________
There are a few rules and special conditions that me and Breexy have gone over, to ensure that this adoption will go smoothly- or not at all. She might have been horribly inactive with me, but she is a wonderful character with lots of history and plenty of future plotting potential!

1. The ship with Tertius must be maintained! The adoption and the ship are a package deal, it would be very out of character for this not to go the way it is planned to!
2. Comment below if you're interested in her, and you'll have a short rp with Breezy- not daunting at all, I promise. We just need to make sure that the dynamic the two of them have isn't going to be split up by any new takes a possible owner would have. It'll be a short rp I promise! Think of it as, like, a test ownership. We really just want her to have a good home.
3. Not first-come first-serve! We have a plan B if no one is interested, but we'd rather not go there.

Thank you so so much for reading through all of this, I know this is a lot more than a regular adoption would ask of you, but this is a good character and I need to ensure that Breezy isn't going to get short strawed by me pawning her off.

S E T T I N G: Ice Empire Territory

T I M E  O F  D A Y: Late morning

C H A R A C T E R S: 
Chara- Ice Empire Leader, Northstar2014 
Tolmi- Ice Empire Gladiator (ahh!) Rowan-Feather 

Tolmi
Tolmi inhaled, breathing in the sharp scent of the snow and the moist earth below it. She then exhaled it all out slowly, calming herself. The apprentice had gone through so much worse than this, so why was she so apprehensive? This was Chara, her leader would never hurt her. Hadn't she trained for this? Wasn't this all she had been preparing for, since the day she stepped into her Empire? Nagging doubts ran in the back of her mind, regardless of her reassurances. You'd never be smart enough. You were captured once, weren't you? What makes you think you're stronger now? Her paws kneaded the ground beneath her as she prepared for the beginning of her last assignment, golden eyes flashing alive with the excitement and fear for this upcoming moment. It didn't matter if she thought she could do it or not, she had to either way, so she could better protect her empire and the ones she loved within it. Look out Chara, you've got another thing coming! Doubts finally pushed aside the best she could manage at the moment, the spotted feline started forwards, devilish gleam in her eyes.

Chara
Chara sighed softly as she readied her herself. This was probably her favorite thing about being Leader. Watching as apprentices completed their final task, evolving from a snowflake to an avalanche. The Leader was always proud of those apprentices, even more so when it came to apprentices that had not only worked their way out of the city as well. Tolmi was one of those apprentices that managed to escape, and Chara knew that the younger female was ready. And despite her pregnancy, Tolmi would have to work hard to outwit the lioness. Not many knew about the pregnancy still, and Chara would keep it that way. With one last deep breath, Chara placed the sapphire necklace around her neck. From the distance, Chara saw Tolmi. "Tolmi," She began. "You have chosen to challenge your leader, to become a gladiator. Once a simple snowflake, you are ready to become like an avalanche, brave and strong." The leader's voice rang through the forest. "In order to become a gladiator you must be able to outwit me, and get the blue sapphire. Who ever, you must not attack me. Attacking me means you forfeit the challenge, and must try again. Are you ready?" She asked. "If so, you may begin."

Tolmi
Tolmi nodded, making sure to over exaggerate her movement so that Chara could see it. She was ready now, she could feel it. Her heart thudded out a rhythmic beat in her chest, and as she began walking, Tolmi felt it speed up. *She could do this. She could do this. She* had *to do this.* her pace sped up, but she was not aiming towards her leader. As she rushed past, she grinned at Chara, tongue stuck out of her mouth for the briefest of moments. She stayed just out of reach, though Tolmi couldn't attack Chara she wasn't sure if Chara could attack her or not.

Chara
Chara chuckled a bit when she saw the apprentice stick her tongue out at her, shaking her head a bit as well. As the young feline began to rush, the lioness stayed still. She had placed the sapphire around her neck, making it easy to grab if Tolmi knew how to get it off that is. The lioness was ready for this.

Tolmi
Surprise... hmm what could surprise Chara? The leader seemed almost unshakable... what would catch her off guard? A few ideas immediately came to mind. She did, after all, pull frequent pranks that required catching cats off guard. Tolmi was a master at distractions and diversions, though usually she had Griffon at her side to help her. Now, she was on her own. Time to go with the simplest tactic, Chara would see through it undoubtedly, but perhaps not in enough time. The cheetah hybrid made a sharp turn, almost in place, without breaking stride. She was aimed at Chara's left hindquarter, legs propelling her towards the lion as fast as she could make them. And then, she pushed off the moist earth! Her body was sailing over the leader, jaws aiming for the necklace. The cheegar wasn't sure if she could make it... but Tolmi had always been about risk.

Chara
The lioness stood there, almost frozen. She did not move a muscle as the young female began to go for the leader's hindquarters. In one smooth motion Chara grabbed the chain of the necklace and pulled up, turning to left as she did, moving the necklace away from the cheegar. The lioness grinned at the apprentice. "Gotta be quicker than that Tolmi if you want to be a gladiator." She said teasingly.

Tolmi
Tolmi nearly lost her balance as she soared towards the earth, but managed to right herself with an adjustment of her rather fluffy tail. Her eyes narrowed in friendly determination, grin never faltering for a moment. "Quicker, hmm?" She kept her eyes trained on Chara, as to not give away her next plan by the line of her sight. Instead, she recalled her surroundings. Ah, a large tree! That would be absolutely perfect! To distract Chara, she made a few swipes at the necklace, moving quickly to be able to reach it. The attempts were halfhearted, but not so much so that it was obvious she wasn't trying. And that's when she began her next move.

Chara
As the younger female moved quickly, trying to reach the necklace, Chara kept dodging. It was not secret that the lioness was very swift for a lion, and the Leader always took advantage of her speed. However, she was not one hundred percent. After a few dodges, Chara's breathing started to get heavier. Her pregnancy was beginning to slow her down, though she refused to show that to Tolmi. She would make the hybrid work a little bit longer, moving slower and slower. "Come on, Tolmi." The leader taunted playfully. "You're faster than this."

Tolmi
Tolmi let out a huff, eyes concentrated in the necklace. I know, I can do this. I will do this. And that's when she began her next move. The cheetah missed the necklace one last time, carrying herself forwards using the momentum from her swing. She sunk her claws into the bark of a tree only pawsteps away from the pair, traveling upwards a small distance before pushing off the tree with her front paws, then hindquarters. The cheetah hybrid twisted midair, sailing dangerously close to the top of the leader once more. But this time, she reached a paw down to hook onto the necklace, leg extended as far as it could go to reach it. "Oh please Glacio please..."

Chara
Chara could feel herself slowing as the hybrid began to once again rush at the leader. If Tolmi was truly paying attention, she would have noticed Chara had began to pant slightly. As the younger feline pushed off of the tree, Chara tried to move fast enough. However, she was not quick enough. The leader could feel a paw hook into the necklace, and it was then Chara knew that Tolmi had done it. However, she did choose to hank her head away trying to make it seem like Tolmi had missed. With a soft snap  the necklace broke away from Chara's neck.

Tolmi
Tolmi's heart dropped for a split second, before she registered the feeling of the chord in her paw. She felt it slipping from her grasp as it snapped away from her leader's neck, and swiftly scooped her paw upwards to transfer the gem to her mouth. There it resided as she touched back down to earth, feeling as though she had just gotten back from the top of a mountain. Her heart beat at a quick rhythm in her chest as she realized what the heavy weight in her mouth signified. She was finally a gladiator. And now, finally, the Hunters would know what she was made of. Tolmi opened her maw and let the pretty gem drop to the ground, panting slightly from the aerial show she had given her leader. Her leader. She could hear the slight hugging coming from the lion and tilted her head, looking her over in a discreet fashion before looking fiercely into her eyes. Amber met blue in a fiery display of determination, and she bowed her head to acknowledge her superior. "Thank you, Chara."

Chara
Blue eyes starred into the amber ones, and the Leader smiled a the fiery display. The lioness took a deep breath, trying to keep the panting hidden. With her head raised high, Chara stepped in front of the apprentice. "Tolmi," Her voice rang just as it had in the beginning. "You managed to outwit your leader, and receive the blue sapphire. It is my honor to promote you from apprentice to gladiator. Once a snowflake, learning and floating, you are now an Avalanche; brave, strong and ready to protect your home. Tolmi, I welcome you into the rank. I, your North Star, am very proud of you. You will do well to protect the Empire."

Tolmi
Tolmi calmed her breathing, eyes shining brightly in the sunlight. "I look forwards to being a gladiator under your leadership, North Star." She liked the sound the two words had made when Chara had spoke them. Yes, Chara would lead her and the rest of the empire through thick and thin. And Tolmi would be there through it all, fighting and serving her empire as an avalanche. An avalanche! The eagerness was evident in her posture, paws shifting from one to the other subconsciously. Chara was proud of her, and Tolmi would make sure to live up to that. She was going to make her Empire proud.

T H E  E N D

TOTAL WORD COUNT:1,639
Am I supposed to count up Chara and Tolmi's responses separately too? I'm not sure</strike>

Wow ok so.. this is Tolmi's last apprentice assignment. Insane, right? She's grown so much, come so far... and she still has a long life ahead of her. Sure, she may be a gladiator now, but you can still expect plenty of surprise attacks from above around camp!

Hey guys

So I'm sure you've noticed my extended absence from DA, which I've just been beginning to catch back up on- I still have hundreds of notifications to go through. Life has been a bit rougher than usual... and apparently it's about to get a lot rougher.
Due to my dad's job, we're going to have to move in a couple of months, to Alaska. Unfortunately the place I will be staying for the first half of the year doesn't have wifi (which I thought wasn't a thing anymore but ok) and the only way I'll be able to get it is if I go into town. Which I obviously can't do every day.
So I have two more months to get stuff in order on here, and then you guys won't be hearing from me until about November, when we come back to where I'm living now. And that'll be happening every year.
You guys have been my support through a lot of the stuff I've been going through, and I really don't want to lose you now. Unfortunately my dad really needs this job and I'm not going to complain to him about not having wifi or some dumb thing when he's putting food on the table.
I'm really really really sorry that this is what I have to say to you guys on Easter, I know it's supposed to be a really happy day but yeah I'm not really feeling that happy atm.
If you have any questions let me know
