## History/Affiliations:

Clay Ridge Group[Present]

Pilot's Lane[Past]

Aardvark was born in an animal shelter. He had two siblings, but they both died shortly after birth. After spending a week in the shelter, he was adopted and taken to a new home. He quickly became very attached to his yard, calling it his territory. After his home was destroyed by a hurricane that hit his and many others twoleg dens, Bandy and Flurry took him with them to the big city and he joined their group of cats they started and became a guard to help protect his new home.

## Personality:

### Past:

Aardvark is mostly friendly and playful, as shown when he talked to Bandy while scent-marking his yard, but can be very hostile and suspicious if a cat approaches his territory. He is shown to be somewhat impulsive, as he makes friends as soon as he meets non-hostile cats (shown when he befriended Max) and attacks any cat who even slightly taunts him (shown when he attacked Flurry). He is also straightforward, slightly rude (though he doesn't seem to mean it), and words things quite bluntly.

### Current:

In the present, Aardvark still retains a bit of his playful kit-like personality but only shows that side of him to people he trusts. He gets very attached to things and can face a sort of separation anxiety when away from his friends or territory (which he still defends but not as viciously). however, he is much better at dealing with this as an adult and is also a lot more mature.

## Relationships:

### Past:

#### Bandy:

They had a slightly negative relationship as Aardvark attacked Bandy when they met. But they grew

#### Max:

Max and Aardvark were friends, though Aardvark started out threatening him with he came too close to his territory, max show of cowardice made jt clear to Aardvark that he was not a threat and they chatted once in a while before Aardvark left.

#### Flurry:

Flurry and Aardvark had a negative relationship as they got into a fight over Flurry calling Aardvark a "little guy". However, this changes in adulthood

#### Saffron:

When they first met, Aardvark was hostile as is most times when someone's was around hsd territory. But saffron's friendly demeanor soon changed that feeling and they had had some nice little chats before she disappeared.

### Current:

#### Bandy:

After Bandy and his sister took him into shelter after his devastating disappearance of his twolegs and destruction of his house. He formed a deep trust in the two though more so with bandy, and it took him some time to detach himself from the leaders sides.

#### Flurry:

He grew to appreciate Flurry seeing she wasn't that mean after all, though was a bit more hesitant towards her at first.

#### Seal:

In guard duty him and Seal just clicked, they each had the same sense of humor and deep Protecting over their group and always hang out with each other while on duty or not.
