Bloody Mary is a mongrel of a woman. Her build is like patchwork, with outstanding features cobbled together into one jutting form of a cat rather than melding seamlessly. She is not all unsightly; the base of her is set upon elegant features — high cheekbones and a long, tipped muzzle buttoned with a heart nose. Her fur is long, and in theory, quite luxurious. Though she preens herself rather avidly, it grows on her the way a fungus would, wild and somewhat resistant to efforts to tame it.
At the right angle, the elegant slope of her face could suggest beauty. Head - on, however, it is riddled with features that nearly seem unfit for the body they reside on. Her eyes, a remarkably lusterless shade of mold, stretch large across her face with a pinkness peaking at the corners. Her ears are bat - like, massive and mostly devoid of fur on the inside. They are often slightly tilted off the sides of her head, as if too heavy to keep upright. Bloody Mary has a slight overbite, often leaving large, doggish teeth and pink gums on display. Her skin seems to stretch almost uncomfortably across her. Past the thick ruff of her ears and neck, the press of her angled skull seems uniquely obvious.
Bloody Mary's size would be most typical amongst the brutes of SkyClan. She is tall, with bulk in some places — namely, broad shoulders and a powerful set of haunches— and hardly any in others. Her limbs are gangly, with too - large paws hanging from the ends. Notably, she has a remarkably short tail, and it is implied that it was not always that way. She has more toes than is typical, with seven on both forepaws.
Bloody Mary's coloration is stark. She is primarily white, with blood - smatter colorings at the tips of her ears, just below the eyes, and in what is likely her namesake: twin rivers that rip from the bottom of her jaw down to her chest.
⤷ Technically: Longhaired cinnamon with high white and polydactyly. Carries some amount of Oriental Longhair blood.
Scars gained:
- Tail has been amputated do to complications earlier in life.
Body Language
Bloody Mary's posture is quite terrible, often settling into a beastly hunch whenever she sits. She maintains the slightest curve in her spine even when walking, though; unbeknownst to her, a minor case of scoliosis. She is knock - kneed, with paws that jut out awkwardly when standing still. A product of her overbite: she spits more easily than other cats may, and on rare occasions may find herself absently drooling. Once she gets the taste of prey, she will stick to mostly larger morsels, wolfing down her fare in large, greedy swallows. Bloody Mary can often be found gnawing on things. If not bone, anything else she may be able to scrape her teeth against. It's unclear if this is an effort to care for her teeth, or if she simply likes doing it.
Her gait is lazy, with solid limbs dragging behind her as she walks. No amount of training might ever shape her into a truly silent stalker, and when there is no pressure to be, her steps will always be heavy - footed. There is weight behind everything she does, whethered that be a full - bodied pounce onto her prey or the mere turn of her head. When hyper on adrenaline though, whether this be excitement or fear, her movements may become startlingly quick and jerky.
Juxtaposed to the slow nature of her body, her face responds to situations with often - unnerving quickness. Her ears will animatedly shift atop her head — though they will always tip back into their slanted place of rest, in the end. Her eyes flare and narrow with the receiving of information. Though a contented grin is what you will most often find on her face, she is in no way married to it, and has the potential to shift it dramatically, if wanted.
Inventory
Bloody Mary will be immediately known for her idiosyncrasies, sporadicness, and overall unseriousness. Her perception of life leads her to be rather apathetic, and alongside it she harbors a very fierce sense of self - worthlessness. In her own way, she is spiritual and steadfast in the beliefs that she does hold. She is an adrenaline junkie, with a sluggish exterior being shed for eager quickness when it comes to thrill. What she does find interest in, she risks obsessing over.
At the root of it all is an existential belief — one that dictates the hierarchy of all things in the world, and that places living things like them firmly at that bottom. A cat does not have much more value than a squirrel, no... their unfortunate affliction is that they are the only things conscious enough to possibly know this reality. Bloody Mary was instilled with it swiftly. Following the first few moons of her life, in her opinion, she has coped with this fairly well!
Really, she is pointless garbage. But she need not despair or self - loathe — for everyone around her is just the same! Them and their societies are much like that of a colony of ants... It is very real to them, but no one else really minds what is so close to dirt... A paw can trample them at any second, just the same! She challenges not just that system, but every one that will ever be with her nonsense. She works on whims and whims alone. Holding a conversation with her is often a headache, interspersed with conflicting statements and sentences that mean nothing at all in the first place. It can often feel like conversing with multiple cats at once, and only one of then is even listening to what you are saying at all. She floats about without care, and it's the ideal way to live she'll tell you! She's quite content with it, nevermind the glimmer of frustration you may catch with enough time spent with her...
Apathetic
Empathy does not come easily to her. She fails utterly to put herself in others' situations, insisting that were she in it, she simply would not care. In matters of death, she insists its inevitability and does not mourn it for this reason. Injuries both to herself and to others concern her none. Though she does not go out of her way to disrespect life at every turn, its evident that she considers it of little value.
Imaginative
It is clear that whoever taught her what she knows on Clan Life focused on only the violent and extraordinary tales. Bloody Mary will enter most situations expecting something spectacular, and/or spectacularly violent to happen often times. She'll offer to fulfill the role herself if the scene is acutely devoid of it, seemingly believing that clan life cannot function as it is without frequent, needless bloodshed. In a strange way, her violent tendencies come across with some courteousness... Though she at least partly seems to find it amusing, as well.
Aimless
She has little ambition, or simply things she finds worthwhile at all... Perhaps in the absence of this, she finds most of her energy in high - stress situations. She almost seems to seek them out somewhat, eager to chase after impossibilities or offer herself in dangerous circumstances. Additionally, she seems to show a certain interest in cats with a strong sense of purpose or anything similar. She may be inclined to loiter around these cats, or outright prod them, expressing the desire to pick at their brain.
Faith
Bloody Mary believes cats to be near the bottom of a chain of importance that they are only barely allowed to know. She believes in the existence of other, higher beings, but thinks cats to be incapable of perceiving them properly. She keeps the direct recipient of her reverence somewhat vague, but believes in... something wholeheartedly. She knows of StarClan, believes in them wholeheartedly. Believing in them does not mean that she finds them perfect, though. She is too lowly to question them much, in her opinion. Though if she were to, she thinks her opinion so meaningless that they would not care much, either way. To her, undeniably, souls take on more importance after death. Where you to find yourself at the end your line, you ought to rejoice! For your meaningless existence has suddenly become something so much more. Of course, willing yourself into the place of a star did not make you one, proper. No, she had to live this life first... whatever it was that "living" entails.
A link between something meaningless and something not, the Medicine Cats ought to be respected, she's certain! In the grand scheme of things, they were perhaps only a skip above herself; but in her own lowly mind, that ought to be leaps and bounds! If given the chance, Bloody Mary would soon value the word of a Medicine Cat over that of Leader.
She does not all like the pointlessness... She would like something to do with herself, truly, but finding that thing is more easier said than done...
Quirks
- Often seems to forget that not all cats think the same as her. Will passingly make remarks about others worthlessness not realizing how it could potentially be insensitive. If such remarks were made at her, she'd only laugh.
- Has a tendency to viscously dehumanize both herself and others, whilst frivolously humanizing inanimate things.
- Attempts to humor reality and make - believe in equal measure, believing their state of being so pointless that differentiating them makes little difference in the long run
- However worthless they are, finds cats endlessly fascinating. Unfortunately for others, an avid people - watcher. Always with love in mind, frequently expresses the desire to dissect them. She does in her own way, already, but would never do so literally.
Bloody Mary is lesbian and monogamous. She is not currently interested in anyone.
- Bloody Mary holds the same generally low opinion of everybody by default, though this does not by any means translate to dislike. She is her version of "friendly" to all she meets. For now, she holds no sense of distrust toward anyone.
Open to healing and peaceful powerplay, interaction, friends, enemies, romance, injury Closed to severe injury, death.
Sounds like: Bloody Mary displays a great range of control over her voice, able to swing the pendulum from masculine to feminine at will, as well as many androgynous tones in between. Regardless of which tone it takes, her voice tends to hover in the medium - high range. Always intended in a jovial manner, it catches on overexcited growls, trills, and snarls often. She laughs frequently, it in itself being a distinctively loud and grating cackle. Vocal inflection is it times, irregular. May suddenly raise her voice into barks, lower it to whispers, or break into song. Voice Claim TBA.
Smells of: Expectantly, the scent of pine needles clings to her from her toeing of the forest borders. More distinctive scent carries the smell of rotting plants and old meat with an unexpectedly pleasant, underlying note of lilies.
speech is #9F3526 Thoughts are italicized. Physical Interactions are underlined.
- Poor stealth and hunting. This would likely remain true even with training. Her bright coat and heavy paws do little for her in these areas.
- Moderate speed, with a for the most part, sluggish form able to whip itself into surprising quickness, if needed.
- Impressive stamina and constitution. She does not tire easily, and can take a hefty number of blows before being put out of commission — though her body may scream at her for it later.
- A competent climber, though the branches creak beneath her paws. She may struggle with climbing down due to her below average sense of balance
- More capable of combat than you would expect for a kittypet.
Combat
Combat difficulty is medium. She has no formal training, but her natural proclivities would keep her head above water in a hostile situation. She throws her weight around with reckless abandon, flinging herself at her opponents with clumsy, but brutal blows. Being large and bulky, she is difficult to take down, and will allow adrenaline to pilot her farther than her body would normally allow. Fights extremely recklessly. She is likely to be left in a state equally as terrible as the one she has left her opponent in.
Holding a distinct lack of care for her well - being, may start fights, though it will hardly ever be for a good reason. Bloody Mary will most likely not flee conflict unless told. Though she will hardly ever intend to kill, she is naturally a rather brutal fighter makes no active effort not to.

Backwritten
Bloody Mary was born to a kittypet couple nestled within Twolegplace. She spent much of her formative years with her parents and has thoroughly soaked up their ideals, including information regarding the Clans that they've picked up through means she has never bothered to question.
Her tail was amputated at around a full year of life. She claims to not recall the reason why, but it is unclear if she's telling the truth, or not. The truth is, she at some point had quite the bad habit of constantly chewing on it, leaving wounds that struggled to heal properly. As some point, she scuffled with a cat in Twolegplace as well, eventually leading her housefolk to the decision of amputating it. Bloody Mary claims not to care much. This scuffle of hers was her first taste of battle. It's quite possible that it is what has her convinced that she could be capable clan cat.
- If you couldn't tell,,, she is my unofficial official Mallowdawn fankid <3
- Aesthetics are rotting meat, mold and mildew, plant rot, burning red sunrises, apocalypse skies, zombies, three - eyed cats, abandoned city homes, & vampire bats
- I imagine her laugh is similar to an insane anime girl cackle
- Brat summer is over, its weirdgirl autumn
Playlist
▶ Butcher Vanity - Vane Lily Lacking genuine energy of her own, Bloody Mary primarily feeds off of other people, unconsciously searching for the answer to her problems within the dissected minds of others. If given the chance, she could quickly become overbearingly cannibalistic (In metaphor only, that is).
▶ Ruler of Everything - Tally Hall You know . . .
▶ Nothing Man - Sodikken She is more content with her life than she truly knows! Wouldn't it be pointless to yearn for anything more, anyways?
▶ Eat You - Caravan of Thieves Bloody Mary is prone to becoming unusually enraptured by those that take her particular interest. Her affection can take on undertones that sound unkind, on paper.
▶ People Eater - Sodikken . . .
