|:|Overall Health| - [ Akyra is a relatively stocky, well-built sabre tooth who on first impressions could be mistaken for a male. Her musculature is clearly defined and well-toned, though not particularly excessive. Her coat is a light fawn grey, covering her entire body minus her chest, underside and points (paws, tail and muzzle). Akyra's mane is a creamy hue and a forelock loosely dangles over her forehead and extends down her neck, halting at the point where her withers converge with her neck. Her face is adorned by two ebony stripes, curved in angle, that stretch from the sabress' white ruffs to midway point between her cheeks and eyes, which are a vivid aquamarine blue. They are rimmed below with a white cresent marking, and her whiskers are sparse and of glistening silver hue. Her pelt is blanketed by black striped which run vertically down a stocky barrell, a clear definition present between the sabress' white underside. ]

|:|Disorders| - [ None ]
|:|Summary| - [ Akyra could be described as harbouring a mild schitsophrenia, having two very oposite sides to her personality. The first, less common side of her comes into practice predominantly in the presence of males. She appears reserved and shy, daring not to speak unless spoken to. She is cautious and as to how much she will reveal about herself and will often directly avoid speaking of her past. She lacks confidence, and in this state of mind takes any and all statements made about her to heart; sometimes a misinterpretation on her part could lead to conflict.

Akyra lacks self-confidence, which renders her vunerable to critisism which she often takes to heart and will ponder over for a fair while; she often relieves herself of stress through tear-shed. The sabress cannot, in herself, ever truly feel content with her achievements and in spite of her accomplishments, she thinks little of them. She is intelligent, with a high aptitude to learn quickly and, though not the most observant, tends to notice rather unusual aspects of a character.

The second, far more common facade that Akyra bears is her confident, outgoing personality. She is bold, and has the capacity to speak out against authorative figures if she feels it is nessessary. Intertwinded with this is her mysterious tendancies; to elaborate she appears to harbour a secretive past which she tends to neglect to mention. Akyra acts on impulse, and this leads her into trouble; thus sensible is not the greatest word to describe her well. Akyra has been regarded as an idle teen, in some respects, but generally all her actions have a reason and she considers (if only vaguely) the consequences. Her temper can occasionally become volatile, which leads to unpredictablitly.

Some may regard Akyra as violent, and though this statement is not entirely false it is not without provokation that she resorts to this means. She does however possess a relatively short fuse, and if subject to a minor amount of probing may be unable to cope and simply unleash her uncontrollable wrath upon the offender.

Though she is only young for a sabress, Akyra is experienced when it comes to the wrath of the world and how it can bring you down; thus Akyra had learned the law of survival of the fittest, and that is her primary ethos at this point in time. She is highly ambitious and eager to obtain rank, though limits herself as to what she feels is the correct means of getting it.

Akyra sees herself as independant, and tends to rely as little as possible on others, partially due to the events of her past and partially tht it is in her nature not to be so. In her younger years a socially inept young sabress, Akyra's independance may lie intertwined with this.

She is respectful of those ranked superior to her, and though tolerates a certain amount of abiding, will not grovel at their paws. She sees that both as weak and cowardly, both traits which she aims not to liken to herself.

She relishes the opportunity to play and interact with cubs, for in their eyes she sees a window of hope in an otherwise dim and frightening world. Their innocence often reminds her of times past, when life was stable, her family united. They became almost symbolic to her, a representation of both hope and innocence.

As Akyra ages her temper cools into a more subdued, relaxed one. She, contrary to her former nature, takes few implications to heart and though she feels she must maintain some form of reputation is not overly-concerned as to others views upon her. Akyra is a symbol of maternity in the latter stages on her life, spending her time conversing with young ones, reciting stories and tales of awe and mystery to them (a subject she had always been fond of). She cares more for others than for herself by this stage, thus commencing a long career as a loving story-teller and future lorekeep of Stoneclaw. ]

|Blackmane| - [ You; you are a caniving, cheating, lying brute. I have no further business with you; I never want to see you again. You have ruined my life, the life of my cubs ... and may you rot for it. ]
|Dimani| [ Father; you protected me. You loved me. You raised me. I just wish I could be the daughter that you wanted. I love you dearly, as you have raised me well, yet I have given you nothing. I feel as if I have betrayed you; my life has not gone as well as you made out it would. Perhaps I am not that good of a daughter after all. ]
|Sakokma| [ Mother dearest. I could never have hoped for a better one than you; all my life you encouraged me, and you loved me no matter what. Maybe it is better you died than to find out what a fool I have been and the idiotic choices I have made in life. Would you still be proud of me? I hope than answer is yes. ]
|Nacomi| [ My half sister. Who are you? Where are you? How I long to know you, to build a bond like sisters should do. I hope the world treated you kinder than it did I, sister. ]
|Doplecoate| [ My love; my eternal love. Though you are my mate, you are also my friend. You genuinely understand me, and I appreciate that. You are soon to give me my second litter, and for that I love you greater even. ]
|Hakreem| [ Grandfather. I wonder what of you on occasion. Though I am yet to see you, or even know the faintest details of my fathers sire, I give my my respect through blood relation only. ]
|Trinity| [ I never knew you grandma. That upsets me. ]
|Kiba| [ When I left we were not on good terms, since you informed me that the love of my life betrayed me ... but you were right. As much as it destroys me to admit it, you were right. I suppose you are forgiven, wolf. ]
|Mayan| [ Kings shai's daughter. You are a sweet girl, with a heart of gold; your curiousity humours me ]
|King Shai| [ You are my leader, and I respect you. But don't expect grovelling from me. ]
|Ralkan| [ You OK I guess. I've got nothing against you lets leave it at that. ]
|Kat| [ We've only met you once, so I'm yet to decide on my opinion of you. ]
|Kobolt| [ Your very sweet, though I wouldn't advise getting yourself into any more trouble in a hurry. ]
|Nimph| [ I don't know you besides a brief encounter during the quake. So, currently not opinionted. ]
|Blind Mag| [ A kindly elder, but besides that I know little of you. ]
|Mistyfoot| [ Only just met, so no real idea of you. ]

|:|Lyrics| -
[Risin' up, back on the street
Did my time, took my chances
Went the distance, now I'm back on my feet
Just a man and his will to survive

So many times, it happens too fast
You change your passion for glory
Don't lose your grip on the dreams of the past
You must fight just to keep them alive

It's the eye of the tiger, it's the cream of the fight
Risin' up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night
And he's watchin' us all in the eye of the tiger

Face to face, out in the heat
Hangin' tough, stayin' hungry
They stack the odds 'til we take to the street
For we kill with the skill to survive

It's the eye of the tiger, it's the cream of the fight
Risin' up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night
And he's watchin' us all in the eye of the tiger

Risin' up, straight to the top
Have the guts, got the glory
Went the distance, now I'm not gonna stop
Just a man and his will to survive ]
