BEN DAGUR
APPEARANCE
The males body is nothing out of the ordinary, with an average build, but is fairly thin, with ghostly ribs shining through his short fur. His mane is long and scruffy, unlike the rest of his fur, which has been neatly brushed down. His legs are long but aren't too thin, nor large. They are just right for his activity of choice: climbing. His tail is long and snakelike, with a long tuft at the end. His face is broad and his snout is short, tipped with a pink nose.
Ben's fur is a dull gold, like a tree's wood, and is lighter underneath his belly and on his chin. His mane is a creamy colour, lighter than his fur, and turns almost black at the shoulder. His eyes, or should I say eye, is a sapphire blue, dull like a stone but shines like the ocean. His other eye is simply white, dead and gone, with a large, deep red scar running up from his cheek bone to the top of his head. It is dark and frightening, but doesn't affect Ben at all, except for partial blindness. His little ears, which are normally hidden underneath his mane, are tipped in charcoal black.
PERSONALITY
The male is often shy, unwilling to share his true self with others, as he fears what they will do with the knowledge. He always pretends to be someone else, and rarely shows his true side. The only trait he keeps no matter what is his softness. He never tries to hurt anyone he knows, and hates pushing people around. He never likes to offend people deliberately, but he is quick to speak before realising he has said something wrong.
He is also very kind, liking to keep himself to himself most of the time, and will always share whatever he has. He will always help others, and never denies anything to anyone when it is needed. He is smart, very smart, and knows how to solve almost any problem, but is also quite secretive. When he is around a bad influence though, this all changes. He takes on their personality and tries it out, and this often ends in disaster.
When something threatens to hurt a friend, or someone he loves, his caring side switches to battle, and will fight to the bitter end. He will never, ever kill another creature, no matter how evil, because he doesn't have the guts to kill another living thing. But, when he finds someone he loves, he will give them a chance to unlock his true, inner self, and will protect them madly, until the end.
HISTORY
Born into a forest and stolen, he was put into a mesh of steel, and since then Ben has had a full circus training life. When Ben's mother was born, she was born half blind, and nearly carried the trait to Ben, who during an accident with metal spikes, skewered his eye and turned half-blind anyway, at the age of thirteen months. He then went exploring around the circus, unable to see the world in full vision, with only one working eye, but there was almost nothing to see but fabrics and circus tents.
When he was 14 months of age, he found one friend, a young leopard. This leopard was met while the ring master was attempting to 'tame' them both, and they soon became friends, and this relationship went on until Ben turned two, when the leopard went 'exploring' and didn't come back.
This left a gaping hole in his heart, but Ben kept on, until a sudden jolt brought the circus tumbling, the humans disappearing, and a way out had been found. This was when he met a female lion, named Amelia, who was as silent and calm as Ben, and they became friends, better friends than even Ben and his own mother, who tragically died of some sort of disease.
Soon, the massive mountain beside the grounds shook and growled, and released a ton of snow which covered the land, and this covered the circus. Ben only just made it out with a lone tigress, named Fiera, and Ben is determined to keep her safe, the memories of past friends taunting him.
