Savik
Name meaning: knife
Species: Smilodon (aka sabertooth tiger)
Gender: Female
Age: Five years
Size: Around the size of an average African lioness, weighing around four hundred pounds.
Appearance: Melanistic; her coat appears jet black, but faint markings can be seen in sunlight. Her eyes are pale yellow-green. Her right fang, one of the infamous sabers that gives the cats their name, is broken off midway down.
Personality: Though usually calm, Savik has a dangerous temper. She has no patience for braggarts, though she has a touch of arrogance herself. She prefers to lead than to follow, despises stand self-pity, and prefers others to take care of their own problems; but she will usually help those in need, sometimes putting herself at risk. She has a soft spot for young ones, but she can't stand a spoiled child, and has even less patience for an undisciplined adult or adolescent. In theory, she believes in second chances, but she places great importance on first impressions, and she can be quick to develope a nearly unbreakable grudge. She has a strong sense of honor, however, and values honesty and loyalty above all. She is no sooner to forget a friend than an enemy.
Savik's not as outgoing as she was in her youth, and most often relies on formalities around others. She doesn't really smile often, and even more rarely laughs. She tries to be aloof, but if she becomes emotionally involved in something, her feelings may get the better of her, sometimes leading her into the face of danger against her better judgment.
Edit: I went back to fix a few details, because I goofed up the size and weight before, and that has been nagging at me.
I also went over and rephrased just about everything, and elaborated a bit more on her character.
