In fact, her resemblance leads her to boast that she is of strong bloodlines, more closely resembling the cat's primal roots, directly bred from Tigers and Cheetahs. It's difficult to tell whether she is telling the truth, as such lines are known to occur rarely, although it remains to be seen whether she is an authentic mixed-breed Chausie, or simply descended from domestic cats bred to simply resemble wild breeds, but with no true legacy, like Toygers or Bengals. The mere fact that it comes from<em>Wild Heart</em>, after all, tends to get most cats to doubt it. Heck, there are some who wonder if that's her actual form, or just the form she chose to represent herself in, so she can make those wild claims.<br/><br/>The other local felines have a good reason to be suspicious. Wild Heart is a notoriously sketchy shaper of the truth, often framing events and taking liberties with the facts to frame the narrative to suit her whims of the moment, and her whims are often fickle and capricious. She is a proud, confident cat in her own way, one who believes that the political games and established territories of the Parliament are silly, and often tests her limits on what will be found acceptable and what she can get away with. A liar, trickster, and a thief by many accounts, she is often invading the boundaries of other cats, and causing various manners of strife between the political alliances and stroking rivalries. An accomplished Shaper and deceiver, she has been known to take the guises of other felines and perfectly assume their roles, mixed in with odd behaviors to create a bit of chaos within a cat's domain, and making all witnesses difficult to rely on. Her presence truly is a chaotic one within the community, and she is often the go-to cat when there's something suspicious about a recent transgression.<br/><br/>So, if she's such a bothersome feline, why is Wild Heart even permitted within Parliamentary grounds? Many a cat has asked such a question, but the inner council has been reluctant to rid themselves of her. While she is undoubtedly a troublemaker, her motivations are hardly the most malicious of intents. She does it for her own amusement, and little other purpose. She's had opportunities to forcibly take the territories of other cats, but she hasn't. The strife she causes are often temporary and short-lived in the span of time, and rarely do the interfere with actual, important business. Her talents often make her quite useful as well. She is one of the athletic felines in the region, speedy, exceptionally nimble, top-notch climbing and leaping prowess, and with a graceful maneuverability that few cats have ever managed to keep up with, let alone pass (making the prospect of running her off quite difficult, just logistically speaking). Her fighting ability is nothing to laugh off either. Her technique isn't the purist, but she has no shame about being underhanded or unorthodox to better those who have a more solid form, and leveling the playing field more in her favor. She's incredibly stealthy and has strong predatory instincts, allowing her to be a ideal scout and a hunter of more problematic animals of the region. And her scrupulous nature can be reeled in for productive purposes for an influential cat when they have a sensitive, sneaky task they need done quietly and discretely, especially if it needs to be under the nose of the official procedures. With an amusing enough task, and good enough trade, she can be tamed.<br/><br/>Wild Heart's reputation often plays her up to be a more intimidating and problematic cat than she really is. In fact, she plays it up herself, because she likes the reactions she gets. In truth, Wild Heart is just a playful. She doesn't seek much actual harm in her silly games and deceptions, just to enjoy herself and have a good time. It makes her something of a rule-breaker and a hedonist, to be sure, and she is a bit arrogant in her manner of speech. But, to those willing to humor her and get to know her, she can be a rather engaging, a natural entertainer and jokester who is fond of games and likes to spread fun just as much as she likes to have it (most cats do think her tricks are pretty funny, when she isn't doing it to them). She isn't shy of sharing her things, and isn't particularly rude to those who come into her territory, and she can appreciate a good trick, even if she's the victim of it. The fact that other cats can get so riled up by her simple pranks and games, to her, is a bit of a joke itself, so she does intentionally revel in the name-calling and her outsider status, just to reflect how absurd she feels they are being.<br/><br/>Naturally, Wild Heart isn't the most responsible of cats, and she has a difficult time stopping herself when there's potential fun to be had. She isn't particularly stupid, but she is quite impulsive and tends to act in her thoughts and feelings of the moment. But, if it can get across to her how important a task is, especially if it would save lives or great harm to the community, she usually can put the games aside and focus, at least for a time. Still, her attention span tends to be rather short, so complicated plans and menial tasks aren't really her forte, as she may abandon or forget about them in the pursuit of something more interesting. In fact, she doesn't always remember the smaller details of even her own schemes, and isn't always lying when her facts don't match up with the others of a situation. Even she can't always discern the truth of an incident she was involved in, but she would always deny being responsible for any serious consequences. She knows herself well enough to know that she wouldn't cause irreparable harm on a whim (or she likes to think so).<br/><br/>Being a feral cat, Wild Heart doesn't live with a set of humans in particular, but that doesn't mean she doesn't have burdens, mostly amongst those who are natural outsiders themselves. One is a vagrant, a psychologically disturbed older man, who sees her as a kindred drifter, and sometimes shares the food he finds with her. It's not often tasty, choice meat, but she is moved by the fact of a human who has so little still tries to offer it to her, so she returns the favor and protects him from the threats he cannot see in the night. Another is a pre-teen girl, one who often comes to her territory often to escape a chaotic home life. The girl shines a lot of attention on her, grooms her and shows her a lot of affection. While she may technically belong to the territory of another cat, Wild Heart takes care of her while she is in her presence, and has infringed on other territories before to keep her safe.<br/><br/>Wild Heart is also more accepting than most about contacts outside that of her species. She may seek to establish relationships with sapient rodents, avian, or even canines. She finds their differences rather interesting, so she's more intrigued by the possibility of alliances with them than she often is with other cats.
