Yoru

Disguised as BloodClan's feline leader

## **Physical Appearance**

Yoru's disguised form is a small anthropomorphic or feral cat with thick, mainly orange fur and brilliant yellow eyes. She has a long, fluffy black-tipped tail and a thick black mane on the back of her neck. Her paws, ears, and nose are black, and her underbelly is white. She has a black stripe running down her back. She later gains several battle scars. She has a long one over her left eye, a smaller one on her left cheek, and a longer one running down her left flank. She has scars from claw marks on the side of her neck, a Y-shaped one on her left shoulder, two on her lower back, and five smaller scars on her left hind legs. There are more on her lower left foreleg, two smaller ones on her right hind leg, and three on her right foreleg. She later wears a yellow collar with a circular silver tag and later studded with dog teeth and cat claws.

Her true form is a huge Kitsune with nine tails and all her battle scars. Her collar has grown to fit around her larger neck. She initially has one tail, but later gains eight more. After being defeated by River and Ava, she loses her old collar and gets a new one.

After being mortally wounded by Liam's pack, Yoru reawakens due to her strong hatred of everyone who's wronged her and undergoes a nightmarish metamorphosis into a twisted version of herself. Her fur turns black, except for her tails, which turn white and each gaintwo yellow eyes and a colored stripe running down to the black tip. From left to right, the stripe on each tail is red, orange, yellow, green, light blue, dark blue, purple, pink, and black. There is an orange stripe on her back with large curved red spikes running along it, and a single, longer, straight orange spike protrudes from each shoulder. The insides of her ears turn orange, her forepaws become hands complete with opposable thumbs and red claws, and her mouth becomes jagged with an orange interior and sharp teeth. Her eyes are yellow with orange sclerae, and a third, larger eye has appeared in the center of her forehead; this eye is a sickly orange with a double red and yellow iris. She gains orange tufts of fur on either side of her face and vertical orange slits in her flanks resembling scars. A large orange diamond is present on her chest and flanked on either side by two small red spikes. The tag on her collar has gained an interrobang symbol. She can assume this form at will.
