## Overview

Hyena was a former power cat and former leader of the Celestial Council. She also was the Head Hunter of Tribe.

## Appearance

Hyena is a tall Savannah she-cat, boasting a long torso and even longer legs. This allows for her to jump higher and farther than most prey hunters. Her short fur shimmers pale lavender, with darker points at her ears, legs and tail. She has the traditional Savanah cat rosettes, fading into her paler underbelly. Her nose and paw-pads are a light mix of pink and lavender. Hyena eyes are heterochromatic, the left a sunset orange, and the right a sunny yellow.

## Personality

Hyena is known for her gentle demeanor, choosing to listen over speaking. Her voice would be described as being soft like a lambs fur, but low. She enjoys spending time by herself on the ledge near her nest, watching the day-to-day activities of the Tribe. Once she warms up to a cat, she will find herself enjoying the company of the select few. She is honest, wearing her emotions on her pelt, but still manages to keep a level head and puts the Tribe best interests first.

## History

### Before Tribe

Hyena was born at a zoo. Her mother was a famous Savannah cat, and her father was a simple loner, who met her mother while traveling. Her and her sister, Jackal, were raised on stories of the world outside of the zoo. When her sister was adopted by a two-legged family, Hyena didn't want the same kittypet lifestyle, so she left, heading into the unknown.

### Life as a To-Be

The she-cat found herself at the base of a mountain after many moons of travelling. A Tribe patrol found her and brought her back to camp, where the current Teller healed her. Because of her size, she was trained as a Prey-Hunter under Light that Wages War with Shadows, the previous Head Hunter. During this time, she met Flick of Eagles Wing and Hail that Batters Mountain. After Snow's disappearance and Flick's rise to Teller, she worked hard to finish her training and earned her place as a Prey-Hunter in Tribe.

### Life as a Prey Hunter

As a prey hunter, she lived a quiet life, keeping to herself and not making many friends. Her and Hail, the Head Cave Guard, frequented hunting together, as the two liked working in silence. One day, Hyena and Hail left to go hunting and all was going well. After catching a small rodent, they travelled upwards, venturing  into eagle territory. They successfully brought down an adolescent eagle while it was attacking a snow hare, but the mother of the eagle heard it's child call and dove down at them. Hyena hid under an outcropping, and watched as the eagle tore into Hail, trying to fly off with him. In a rush of fury, she leapt onto the bird's back, stopping the bird from taking Hail away. They both staggered back to camp. Hail was seriously injured, and ended up slipping into the unconscious, while Hyena had a torn claw and a mountain of guilt.

Flick, sensing her distress took her outside, the two cats heading up the mountain on a clear night to talk about what happened the previous day. She told about how powerless she felt, having to rely on the cave guards to protect her as she hunted and wished there was more she could do. As they reached the top of the mountain, they were buffeted with wind, a faint call of an eagle could be heard. In terror, Hyena stood motionless as the tiny spec grew to an adult eagle. Flick, being the previous Head Cave Guard, leapt in front of her, ready to protect her like Hail did before. Something changed within her at that moment and she jumped in front of the white tom, shouting no. A force within her came out, an invisible sound wave, knocking the eagle out of the sky and causing Flick to be pushed back, the tom losing his hearing for a few seconds. She found herself with a sore throat, the she-cat barely able to speak after the big yowl. Flick, amazed that the she-cat had a power told her that she was gifted with a power from their ancestors to help protect her Tribe.

Joined the CC after meeting and using her power on Splat. Who hated her at first for making his ears ring.

Using power at BloodClan battle, forming friendship with Chewey, the puma. Also met Mountainstorm after accidentally knocking her out with her power, and the two became fast friends.

### Life as the Head Hunter

She also adopted a kit, and named him Cat <3

After the confrontation with Riv and Hail, Flick appointed her as HH, and she eventually made up with Hail, the two spending more time together.
