I HAVE TOUGH COMPETITION I'M TERRIFIED- I'm REALLY hoping this long backstory makes my entry good enough... I love this character too much and I've sacrificed online school time to do this... ok I'll be quiet lol, please read the backstory- + Bio + Name: The Fallen One (nicknamed Fallen, sometimes known as Phantom) Gender: Female (she/they) Species: Cat Personality: Introverted, distant, self-centered, mysterious, loyal, just wants to be loved, afraid of messing up Likes: Being alone, fighting, being in the background, darkness Dislikes: Bright lights, dogs, not being good enough + Backstory + (I'm rlly hoping this helps me win bc I may not be the best artist but EFFORT) Fallen used to be the role model to her siblings, and was seen as the 'perfect child' by her parents. She lived like a queen, and everyone in her family adored her as much as she adored them. Her name back then wasn't Fallen, or Phantom, however she can't remember her old name. One day, Fallen woke up in the truck of a twoleg (human). Fallen immediately panicked, but the second she tried escaping she felt a bag cover her face and fainted at loss of breath. Fallen then awoke to hear two twolegs arguing. "She's a black cat! You know what that means!" Fallen cocked her head to the side. What DID it mean? She had no idea her fur colour meant anything... one of her brothers was a black cat, too. "We must eliminate her immediately. She's bad luck." Fallen gasped. What on earth? SHE was bad luck? What did SHE ever do?! And what did they mean when they said they needed to ELIMINATE her?! Fallen panicked and sprinted away, running, running, running as fast as her legs could take her. "She's getting away! After her!" She heard one of the voices call from behind her. Fallen continued to run away, jumping up high onto a chair so she could take a mighty leap through the window. Lucky for her, she landed on her paws. "Mum, Dad?" Fallen yowled desperately for her parents. She was a lost kitten, unaware of her surroundings. Where was her family? She continued to call out for them, but no one ever replied. "NOOOOOOOOOOO!!" She cried, collapsing on the ground. She was as good as dead... if only she wasn't so weak... she'd fallen asleep and allowed herself to be kitnapped, and now she'd lost her family. She felt like it was all her fault. If only she could turn back time... but it was too late. One day Fallen was wandering around alleyways, and found a particularly dark one. To her surprise, it wasn't empty. A circle of cats, probably stray like her, were sitting and talking around something. Fallen felt scared as she didn't recognise any of these cats, and they all looked intimidating. Many were covered in scars, one looked like a dragon and one even had her bones showing... like, part of her body was missing and you could only see her skeleton. Maybe these cats could help her, as they had clearly been through a lot... however, maybe they'd kill her. Fallen decided to take the risk and approach them because she didn't necessarily have a will to live anyway. (ok so just a smol note, scratch team if you're reading this, please don't ban me, it's just a character backstory nothing real) As she walked closer, several of the cats' heads turned in her direction. She was quite a large cat; despite still being younger she was bigger than many of the cats there, so she hoped that would make her look somewhat intimidating. A gray cat with large red bat-wings stepped out of the way to reveal what was in the middle of the cat-circle. Fallen gasped when she saw it. The cat in the middle of the circle... was none other than her mother! Fallen screamed. She yowled at the top of her lungs in anguish. "DID YOU DO THIS?!?!" She hissed at the cats, a deadly look in her eye. She was going to avenge her mother if it was the last thing she'd do. She knew she was no match for these cats, but she would fight to the death for her mother. "No. We just found her. I'm guessing from the way you're reacting that you know this cat." The bat-cat responded calmly. Fallen relaxed a tiny bit. Thank goodness these cats that were now surrounding her weren't the murderers. "Yes... sh-she... w-was.... she was m-my mother..." Fallen muttered, loud enough for them to hear her. She tried to stop the tears from streaming down her face because she knew it could be fatal to show weakness in front of cats like this. "Ah. My sister got killed by a dog too. I may seem insensitive, but I know the pain, trust me." Fallen looked up at the gray cat who spoke again. "R-really? And... you s-say it's dogs who d-did this?" Fallen asked him. "Yes. This is why I formed this pack that would get revenge on all dogs. At first it was just to avenge my sister, but now it looks like we have another cat to avenge too. I am Bram, welcome to the Vampire DeathCats." He explained. "I... huh? What... wait what d-do you mean w-welcome?" Fallen asked. "You're part of us now. All you have to do is learn how to fight."
