Name: Nyoka

Name Meaning (In Swahili): Snake

Age: 2 Cycles, 5 moons

Gender: Female

Tribe: Crooked Tree

Rank: Sentry

Tyro: Ajabu

Accessories: Although she has plenty of accessories, she didn't make any of them. She may have killed the snakes, but she had a Cheetah in the Tribe with the Gift of Crafting make them wearable for her.

Gold earring (left ear): Found it in a puddle one day. Stole it.

Collar: Made from Blood Python skin. All of the skins she wears are from snakes she's killed. She found this particular Python slithering close to the Village. Taken care of.

Wrist Band: Made from a young Anaconda that attacked her while she was paroling. It left a nasty scar on her wrist, so she desired to cover it up.

Tail Wrap: Made from the skin of an Eastern Diamondback Rattle snake. This one was particularly tricky to kill because this one was a venomous snake that could kill her with one good bite. But she outsmarted it with a rock. Ask her how she killed each of her snakes, she loves boasting about it.

Personality: (Boastful) (Brave) (Addicted) (Adventurous) (Bully) (Romantic)

(Boastful): Nyoka tends to boast...a lot. She takes on snakes and she's not afraid to let the world know. Even if she's not a hunter, she's sure to keep an eye out for any slithering in the grasses that she can catch and add to her collection. Though she will kill every snake that crosses her path, she won't wear every catch she makes. Only the ones with beautiful or unique skins.

(Brave): Do I really have to explain this one? For heavens sake this chick jumps in front of snakes for a living! If a snake or any other animal threatens the safety of her Tribe, she'll jump between it and them. She tends to be especially soft toward cubs.

(Addicted): Her life rotates around catching serpents. Though she will keep up with Tribe duitys just like any responsible cat, if she's on patrol and sees a snake cross the border, she'll cross after it, even venturing deep into another Tribe's land to pursue it.

(Adventurous): She's quiet a fun cat to be around. She'll take anyone out of the Village on her Snake Hunts, if their willing. Even if they don't find any snakes, it would still have been a time worth spending.

(Bully): Nyoka isn't normally a bully to her Tribe Mates, the main source of her bully personality is to her Cousin, Strelka. She was never nice to him, and though her antics toward him are all in good fun to her, they really grind his gears.

(Romantic): When Nyoka gets a crush, she falls head over heals for this tom. This happens to be a Flirty trait that she shares with her Cousin

Gift: Gift of Tainted Fangs- The ability to excrete a venom from the user's fangs with a bite.

Brief History:

Cub-hood:

Nyoka was born in The Tribe of Crowed Water. Her mother, Nyekundu and her Aunt, Mata, were both expecting at the same time. But Mata grew very ill further into her pregnancy. Nyekundu gave birth to Nyoka and her sister five months before Mata did. Nyoka loved her sister, Kasiya, and the two of them would play often. Before Mata gave birth to her litter, Kasiya died of a snake bite. But this didn't bring Nyoka down, because there was going to be new cubs in the den for her to play with. To her disappointment, all of Mata's litter died but one scrawny tom. The healers were now constantly in the den to check on Mata and the newest cub, Strelka. This annoyed Nyoka and that's when she started to really miss her sister.

But she wasn't the only cub around in Crowed Water at that time. She was the oldest, so she would hang out with the Tyro's and she couldn't wait for her turn to leave the Village for a moon to go to the Tyro's land. And she did.

Tyro Days:

Nyoka was a good Tyro, even if she wasn't a Tyro in Crowed Water for very long. Three moons after Strelka had joined her in the Tyro's den, Mata died. Nykundu had been planning to leave Crowed Water, but couldn't leave her sister. Now she could leave with a clear soul. Nyoka later learned that the reason her mother wanted so desperately to leave the Tribe was because Nyoka's father was in Crooked Tree. Nyoka wanted to leave Crowed Water, not because of love or anything, but these weren't her kinds of cats. Before Nykundu died, she said her one regret was leaving Strelka without a family.

Nyoka fit in well with the Crooked Tree cats and she still does, even if she isn't the best at climbing trees.

Soon after Nyoka gained her Gift in Crooked Tree, she fell in love. Many disapproved, because she was so young. He was killed months ago but a lion and Nyoka was devastated. A few months after this, she discovered she was pregnant, expecting her dead mate's cubs. She kept her pregnancy a secret among Crooked Tree and she was on a border patrol when her time came. She gave birth by the Sunning Rock border to one little red cub.

After he was a few days old, she left him to find food and once she returned, to her dismay, he was gone. For months she feared he was dead, until she saw him again. He had been adopted by a Sunning Rock female. Nyoka misses her cub with all her heart and tries to move on in the love life to fill the empty space in her heart.

Strelka "Oh Strelly? I haven't seen him in ages. He was a Tyro the last time I saw him, I wonder if he would even remember me."

Walio "He's Strelly's mate...so I don't think he likes he very much."

Vumbi "Vumbi...he's my best friend. He's saved my life and is the only cat I know who's made me happy. Truly happy. And I'd hate to loose him."

Neema "Neema is the she-cat who adopted my baby. I thank her for taking care of him...but she's claimed him as her own. Not only that, but when I was just starting to get over my old mate, she stole Vumbi away from me too. I know she's a chief and I should respect her...but she's taken everything away from me."

Mchanga "He's my baby...even if he doesn't know it. I want to be able to curl up with him when he's sad and watch him grow from inside Crooked Tree...but I can't. But, maybe it's for the best..."
