Orion

Orion is a large thick-furred lynx with colourations and markings typical of a Eurasian lynx. She has amber eyes and a scar that loops around her whole neck.
Orion is a Gladeclan member, permitted to stay in Gladeclan territory as long as it never fights for its clan. As a stout pacifist, this suits Orion just fine, and they idle away the hours on long walks or observing the clan cats or the surrounding grove. She is calm, peaceful and very gentle, and enjoys the company of the few cats brave enough to interact with her. 
===History===
As a lynx growing up on the outskirts of clan territory, Orion lived a solitary life, surviving from meal to meal. It roamed the Summitclan and Gladeclan territories, content to slink through the forests and mountains and snatch what prey it could. They were always curious of Gladeclan -- they were overall less hostile to each other, and their laughter and merriment was preferable to the grouchy Summitclanners. Still, Orion knew they could never truly interact with those strange cats.
That was until just a short time ago, when Orion ended up in a very tricky situation. She got caught in a fox trap while chasing a rabbit, and the snare around her neck would only tighten as she struggled. Her wounds were grievous, and she knew that struggling further would only result in her death. With no other choice, Orion limped towards the Gladeclan border, where eventually a friendly Gladeclanner took pity on her and helped her into the camp.
The reaction to housing a lynx in Gladeclan was mixed and more frequently negative than otherwise, but Flutteringshade dutifully treated Orion's injuries. Their pacifist nature and gentle demeanour eased many of the Gladeclanner's worries, and they eventually garnered a decent reputation.
As trust grew between Orion and the other Gladeclanners, especially Ravenstar, she was eventually offered a permanent place in Gladeclan under the condition that she never fight another clan cat. Not in a patrol, not in a battle, never. Orion accepted these terms eagerly, and has since been working through her recovery to try and reassure her new clanmates that she is an ally, not a threat.
