CHARACTERISTICS
Quiet and mysterious, Ana looks at you with a knowing smirk on her face as if she knows what you’ve been up to, but there is a curiosity in her eyes that says that even if she doesn’t she can find out. Sometimes called aloof, she would say she is discerning. She keeps to herself, but she has never turned away someone in need of help. Even if she cannot help, she points them in the right direction to get it. She has been known to take on “strays”, wanderers and runaways, getting them back on their feet then sending them off to live their own lives. She has no interest in having a partner while she tries to track down the demon that killed her parents and cursed her, but she doesn’t like leaving people vulnerable and untrained either. She doesn’t have many friends and only a handful of lovers in the past, preferring the company of her cats. She believes that anyone who gets too close to her could be in danger from the demon, and she will not risk having a child. That isn’t to say she doesn’t wish for companionship. She has seen Hunters who have teamed up as friends or more. While the relationship lasts they are content, close and happy. But she’s seen the other side too. The loss and absolute heart break when one leaves or dies. Background Ana’s parents had been animal tamers with a traveling carnival in Romania. After she had been born the demon had been summoned by an enemy of her parents. It killed them and cursed her with the ability to shift into the form of any feline she has seen in person. Other members of the carnival took on the task of raising her, keeping the tigers that had belonged to her parents nearby. She took to them quickly, even as a babe. Her affinity for the large felines and them for her became apparent when she had been discovered sleeping between them even at that tender age. When she became one of the tigers in form her guardians took her aside, after coaxing her back to human form, and told her of her parents and the curse. She knew hate that day. When she was of age she left the carnival. Rumors, signs and whispers of the demon that cursed her led her to America and on a less than merry chase ever since. She already had some dirty fighting skills from being raised in the carnival. The rousties were protective of all of the children but especially the girls. They went out of their way to teach them not just how to protect themselves, but how to fight dirty and quick. And how to survive on their own. These skills of picking pockets, tricking the marks and snitching to live Ana found very handy in America where the general population were unaware of what a true carnie could do. That is until she tried to hustle the wrong person for a knife she saw on him that she liked. “Never pinch from a Hunter, kid!” That was the first thing he said to her after she came to. Then came the inquisition of what exactly she thought she was doing, who did she think she was and what business did she have getting into things she didn’t understand. After the argument and subsequent admittance that she still needed to learn things that was exactly what began. She spent the next few months as a kind of student with the hunter, learning everything she could from him, everything he was willing to show her. She learned quickly, absorbing and adding her own twist to the tactics he taught her. How to care for guns. Maintenance and repair. And the most important lesson: How to track and kill demons. They remained together until one night after a successful hunt she woke up to her mentor drunk and taking liberties she was not willing to give him. She left him vomiting and clutching a bruised groin that would make him walk funny for a week at least. She has been on her own ever since. Ana has one goal in her life: to kill the demon that cursed her and killed her parents. She has been told that killing the demon will lift the curse and give her a chance to have a life of her own. RELATIONSHIPS Toby Soren Hunters with benefits. Ana and Toby share a partnership in weaponry as well as a little more on the side. Ana has a taste for young, naive meat. Verena Bernier Verena and Ana are linked in the darkest parts of thir souls. The demon of whom cursed Ana is the same demon that keeps Verena on an invisible leash. In a turn of irony, the demon follows Verena in the form of a little black cat yet he makes himself scarce when Ana is around. the demon is looking to keep his 'children' just on the edge of the knowledge of their connection. Abilities and Skills Black Cat Form. Shapeshifter: She can take the shape of any feline she has seen. While she is in her cat form she maintains the intelligence and memory of a human, but the longer she remains in feline form the better the chance that her memory of who and what she is deteriorates. Enhanced Senses: Heightened sense of smell. Always active. She can recognize a person’s scent after being introduced to it, but she couldn’t track it like a blood hound. Night Vision: She can see better in the dark, like a cat, than humans. It isn’t perfect sight. There must be some ambient light otherwise she is as blinded as everyone else in pitch black. Movement catches her attention. Facts and Trivia
