Name: Kekona (Keko) 
Species: Ocelot 
Gender: Female
Age: 5
Text Color: Yellow or Orange

Personality:
I love to explore places I've never been to.  My exploring can get me into messes sometimes--especially if the cat or place I've poked at is hostile.  I'll never decline the chance to learn.  I take every opportunity I can to know more about something or someone.  

I think the funny thing about me though, is that I'm incredibly shy. I stay off in the sidelines, watching and learning. I hardly ever talk. Sometimes, I play that I'm mute, so I don't have to talk. (Especially of I'm scared or caught off guard) But I enjoy being around cats I know, and listening to their conversations. I befriend those who are like me. If I see someone away from the group, I will sometimes get one of my bursts of courage to smile at them, maybe even strike up a conversation about the weather.

Description:
I'm quite on the small side, even for an Ocelot.  From a fight, I have a half-ear. My other ear is a little ripped, too. I have a few small scars in various places from various fights...(None started by me. Most in defense from a hostile cat I've run into.)  

I suppose I'm attractive enough, but besides looking in a muddy puddle's reflection, how would I know?

History:
As a cub, I had a great life with my momcat.  She never sheltered me, and always encouraged me to explore.  That's where I got it I guess.  I was very talkative when I was young, but then... When I was about a year old, she was shot by a  human.  He had pelts of other cats with him, I think he wanted her for her beautiful fur. I've had to learn about life on my own.  I coped as well as I could, and life moved on.  I got very quiet and reserved as far as connecting with anyone, but nothing dampened my sense of adventure.

The past few years have been insane, especially since The Lurch. I'm just on my own, trying to survive the hostile encounters. I have no set shelter. Exploring and discovering this new place I'm learning to call "Home"...and looking for someone to share it with.
