BASIC APPEARANCE: Black she-cat with one amber eye.

DETAILED APPEARANCE: Elektra's pelt is pure unmarked black, short fur and long limbs giving her a tall and lithe stance that portrays effortless elegance. Only her face bears the marks of her life's brutality; her left eye is dark amber in colour, but where the right eye once was is just a bare socket surrounded by mangled scars that have healed as well as they ever will. 

PERSONALITY & DESCRIPTION:
If it’s true that every scar tells a story, Elektra’s tell a tale of a cat willing to do anything to survive despite an endless battle to prove she still has worth. From one side she is incredibly beautiful, with sleek charcoal fur and a dark amber gaze that is intelligent and considerate in equal measure. But while it’s obvious that she isn’t only a pretty face, looking at her directly always provokes the question of whether she could even be described as that. At 10 moons old her innocence and beauty were stolen from her in one swipe of a dog’s claws, leaving her with an empty eye socket surrounded by bare flesh and hideous scarring, but while anyone can see her wounds very few know the true reason behind why she got them and why she can never regret the loss of her eye. It was a sacrifice to save a friend's life, an escape plan gone wrong that ended with Elektra and Myra facing facing the oncoming pack with little hope of survival. Knowing full well the consequences she ordered Myra to run without her, leading the pack away and risking her life to fight them off while not knowing if her efforts would be worth it or not. While she survived her injuries by a hair’s breadth, her recovery was far from the end of her fight. Born under a leadership that praised the strong and destroyed anything less, Elektra was given an ultimatum by which she had to prove herself or face death a second time. With a combination of ruthless bloodlust and a willingness to do whatever it took, turning her wounds into weapons allowed her to cement her place as Akai’s second in command. Her deathly beauty was used to his every advantage, from seducing toms into joining the group to ripping out throats whenever he didn’t want to get his claws dirty. So enslaved in the persona he had created for her, his death left her wondering what she’d become along with half a leadership she didn’t want. But now she has a mate who she loves to help her through the nightmares and convince her that she is worth more than what she was made to do. They have a daughter who sees her without her scars and reminds her that there is still good and innocence in the world. She changed Akai’s dictatorship into a leadership of mutual respect, made amends with her enemies, and with Lady's love and Myra's reappearance she is slowly letting go of the past that haunted her for so long. Her home is open as a sanctuary for anyone who needs it, with the hope that by putting good back into the world she can make up for all the wrong she did under Akai's control. She's more intuitive than her curt nature portrays, with the ability to look into someone's eyes and see those who are invisible to the rest of the world and need a mentor or a friend. With her moons of experience she's become an invaluable advice giver, giving her gentle soul a rare few moments of light before she'll be back to barking orders when the situation demands it. While she will always have her strategic mind and affinity for battle, and she will always be ready to lead her cats should another situation arise, knowing just how much she has to lose has given her a reason to fight besides sheer bloodshed but an even greater reason to keep them safe and away from the battlefield. All Elektra truly wants is a peaceful existence with her chosen family and to become the role model that she so desperately needed as a wounded kit. Maybe then she can start to clean the blood off her paws.
