 Why is this simple cat the hardest character for me to draw? Every time I try and draw her it turns out horribly.
But other than that, check out this group! They're currently open for new members and I think it would be worth it! :D

History:
Faraday was born of two rogue parents, although she wasn't born under the name of Faraday. She had a good childhood, and was raised in a small band of rogues, with only about 3 in the group at a time. She was very close to the others in the group, one of whom was a lot older than her, and one who was about her age. They were her family as far as she was concerned and when both her parents died, they were there to take her in. She was a lot happier in general back then, and had a boastful, loud-spoken and optimistic personality. Faraday developed an interest in the alliances, and became curious to find out exactly what they were like. She started trailing patrols and hunting groups, staying far back at first but gradually getting more confident and getting closer. It was when the older member of the rogue group started noticing her actions that he drilled the superstition into her that knowing someone's true name would give you power over them, in an attempt to frighten her away from the alliances in case they managed to find out her 'true' name. Faraday stopped following the alliance patrols for a time, and it appeared to have worked, but in fact she was just trying to work out a safe way she could continue trailing them. It took about a month for her to realize that using a fake name would work. She would just have to get used to it, and get used to lying about her name.

The name she came up with was Faraday, and the night she felt she was ready, she crept away from the rogue group without a word in advance. She followed the first group of alliance Culions she found, and pestered them until one of them finally agreed to take her in. After a year as a tyro in the Ray-Pathers she developed her pathing skills. Her personality changed a lot from how she used to be. There was an unspoken code in the rogue group, and she has broken one of the important rules. The group was her family and she had left them all without a word or a backwards glance, disappearing one day for no apparent reason. It was in the spur of the moment that she had left, but she knew that she could never return. The guilt of leaving them all weighed down heavily on her, and her personality slowly turned from positive to negative. To this day she still feels incredibly guilty, and will avoid talking of thinking about her past at all if she can help it. She also misses them a lot, and is constantly afraid someone will find out her birth name from them, or manage to talk it out of her.

Personality:
|:bulletred:| Aggressive | Faraday appears aggressive most of the time, because she masks other feelings with it. If she is scared, sad or embarrassed she will react with anger, because she believes those emotions are weaknesses in herself, and she is scared of losing face if she shows those emotions. She constantly feels the need to prove that she is just as strong as everyone else, and the only way she knows of showing this is through aggressiveness and fighting skill. She enjoys fighting for this reason, and will take every opportunity that is presented.
|:bulletred:| Defensive | She is scared of losing face in front of others and will rarely admit she is wrong if she can help it. She gets offended easily and won't talk much about herself. She tends to hide a lot of her emotions, preferring to show an emotion that she doesn't actually feel because it makes her feel safer. She is scared someone will find out her birth names through her past and will rarely share any information about the other two rogues she grew up with. She is also scared of being rejected, and so is scared to be to open and risk rejection. Not that she will show it though. There are a few things that will hit her hard, and rejection, her 'family' and the fact she is rogue born are some of them, and she will takes jokes about these things very seriously.
|:bulletred:| Hot-Headed | She looses her temper easily, and is likely to explode without much warning. When she is angry, she won't stop to think. She will attack first and ask questions later. Because she hides her emotions, it is very hard to tell that she is starting to wind up, and so for others is seems as if she suddenly explodes for no reason when she does crack. She takes out her anger on those around her, usually either verbally of with a quick swipe or cuff unless she really hates the Culion involved in which case she may try to kill them. Yelling does little to vent her anger and she will turn to inanimate objects like rocks or plants and destroy/wreck them until she has cooled off.
|:bulletred:| Manipulative | Enjoys winding others up and will often search for something that annoys them just to make them loose their cool. If she can she that what she is doing is affecting them, she will keep going, until they finally crack. However, the emotion she is looking for is anger, and if her taunts and insults are upsetting them she will try something else, unless she really hates them and is trying to hurt them in any way she can. Being able to manipulate others makes her feel somewhat superior and this feeling reinforces the behavior.
|:bulletyellow:| Sarcastic | She is often very sarcastic. It's her favorite way of annoying and insulting people. She also has very little patience and doesn't like waiting. (not that that has anything to do with sarcasm but I don't really know what else to write here :) )
|:bulletyellow:| Dramatic | Faraday has a love for anything dramatic. When she can without looking stupid or like she's making a huge fuss over nothing, she will act this way herself. She also has an appreciation for dramatic entrances or actions, and is more likely to be friends with someone based on that than anything else.
|:bulletyellow:| Curious | New things and places interest her, and she will seek them out, often getting very stubborn until she gets to explore/examine them. When something does catch her interest she will pursue it until she achieves her goal, like she did when she became interested in the alliances. Her curiosity if often to the exclusion of most other things and if there is something big that she wants to know about, she will often be more open, friendly, tired and distracted, because she is too busy thinking about it to be aggressive or defensive. She would also be more likely to reveal her birth name because she is too busy thinking about other things.
|:bulletgreen:| Loyal | There are few things that she believes in, but she will fiercely stick to anything she does, to the point where she will discount any other
opinions. If she gets close to someone, she will defend them with her life. (Probably while still denying that she is even friends with them). This is also the case with groups. Because she made the decision to join the Ray-Pathers, she will never consider any other option. She also feels a strong sense of loyalty to the two rogues she left behind. If it came to a conflict between the two groups, she would really struggle to do anything, as either option would probably break her. She feels guilty already and she wouldn't be able to cope.

Fears:
- someone knowing her 'true' name (really just the name she was born with)
- Losing face (she doesn't believe that she can let herself show weakness)
- Being rejected (this fear is more of an unconscious thing but it still affects how she acts)

Family:
Father Rogue - DEAD
Mother Rogue - DEAD
Niko - Rogue - (not actual family but she regards him as such) - UNKNOWN (he's her age)
Sedge - Rogue - (not actual family but she regards him as such) - UNKNOWN (he's the older one)

Notes:
- She has short horns (I couldn't resist. I love putting horns on characters :) )
- Faraday is not her birth name. She strongly believes that knowing someone's true name will give you power of them, and its only because of this belief that it becomes true for her. If you knew her birth name you could control her by blackmailing her and threatening to tell it to others
- She doesn't have much of an opinion on whether or not to kill humans but at the moment she is leaning more towards saving them because they haven't actually done anything to her or to those she cares about yet (which is mostly the rogues she knew)

Relationships:

( I'll also put her opinion of the other characters in her own words.)
:bulletblack::bulletblack: Hate
:bulletblack: Dislike
:bulletyellow: Acquaintance
:bulletblue: Friend
:bulletgreen: Good Friend
:bulletpurple: Family
:bulletpink: Crush
:bulletred: Love
:bulletwhite: Unsure
:bulletorange: Rival

RP example:
|Ozwin from Gear-Of-Time|

For a second, there was nothing but white and then his vision cleared. The firs thing he noticed was the grass, littered with browning leaves. Unlike the course sand he was used to, it was cool to touch, shaded by the large trees screening the sun. Fear was making itself at home in his stomach, twisting through his chest and making his heart stammer. With a cold feeling of dread he looked up. This wasn't Aldira. Tall sleek structures shining blue-black in the midday sun rose above the trees like they had grown there. Shielding his eyes with one paw, he squinted up at them. They were crowded together, ringing the small forest he was currently sitting in. He slowly became aware of a clattering sound steadily getting louder. He turned around, panic making the movement slightly too fast. Nothing. No silver disk. No way back. The clattering was still getting louder. He spun around again, and something silver flashed in the corner of his vision. Turning back, he saw the object. The silver disk, identical in every way to the one in the alley back home, hovered above head height, obscured bu leaves from a nearby tree. Hope and relief flooded him. A way back! Thunk. The clattering fell silent, and silence filled the forest. with apprehension prickling him, he looked up at the disk.
