> Tralista, upon a raid

Tralista is the founder of ANTS, currently sick and retired since her creator bluewishwildbird announced inactivity. Dead-set on killing Talonstar, she would do anything for her aim.

## Description

Tralista is a small, mousy brown tabby she-cat with a tuxedo pattern. There was some siamese in her distant heritage, resulting in her light, slender, and regrettably rather small build. Alongside with a white muzzle, white chest, white belly fur and white paws, she also has a dark, near-black tail tip, in the same colour as her stripes.

Her eyes are usually amber, but they are prone changing to red when she is in contact with Talonstar; a flash of orange when hearing the name, dark orange when seeing her, and completely red while fighting.

There is a scar running along her left eye, and the right ear is slightly torn, but she has no other wounds apart from those, due to all the rest slowly healing during her time sick. The light marks left are nearly invisible, and can be only seen after moving her fur out of the way.

## Personality

Tralista used to be quite a normal rogue, i.e. living peacefully, until her friend/possible love relationship Blackwaters died. From then on, the hate for Talonstar has been eating her from within, and now there's not much of a personality left in her. She easily laspes into madness upon close range with Talonstar, and will stop at nothing until her goal is acheived.

She initially treated ANTS simply as a tool to killing her enemy, but slowly she has found herself to connect with and have a heart for those felines, possibly because of a mother's instinct (weird but true). It is arguably the only emotion she possesses these days apart from hate and anger.

Her hate for Talonstar also underwent a major change during her time in ANTS. Originally hating Talonstar for the death of Blackwaters, she now hates Talonstar simply because she hated Talonstar - Blackwaters's image has already faded in her corrupted mind. Her currrent mental state means that she will have nothing but an empty shell if Talonstar dies, a life that is deprived of meaning. It is anyone's guess what she would do, but she would probably jump off a cliff and kill herself (quite probably).

In conclusion, she is trying to kill the only cat that is keeping her alive.

## History

### Before the RP

Tralista, initially named Jungle by her loner parents, was simply a random cat living outside the clan borders, with a slowly developing friend/love interest relationship with the rogue cat Blackwaters (no relationship to the clans despite the name). They bonded quickly and were quite close, often spending time with each other and both too uncomfortable to confess their mutual admiration.

In a particularly hard leaf-bare, both were forced to venture into clan territory to find enough food. Blackwaters was caught by Talonstar while hunting, and was quite naturally killed by the PounceClan leader. Jungle heard the rumour several days later, and mourned her love before announcing vengeance and changing her name to Tralista. But she was alone and PounceClan had a lot of cats - there was no way she could get in by herself.

### In the RP

Thus, Tralista founded ANTS, acronym for Anti-Talonstar. The cross-clan organization quickly grew from just a few felines to a sizeable force. In the first PounceClan raid, Tralista managed to killed Mosspelt and managed to get herslef into a red-eyed fight with Talonstar, a fight in which both came out relatively unharmed since ANTS was forced to retreat as PounceClan patrols came back.

Shortly after the SunClan raid that Talonstar mounted, Tralista's owner, bluewishwildbird, announced inactivity and Tralista unoffically retired (since owner was inactive) and named Darkstar, then Darkout as the new leader of ANTS, after which she went sick.

## Trivia

* Theme song: Champions (by Kurt Hugo Schneider), as long as you are in an ironical mood: Tralista is very much not a hero, unless your standards for heroes are really, really low.
* Inspired by a feral cat living below the creator's apartment; she gave birth to a litter of kits darker than herself, but no black cat was even around the area, which gives rise to thought...
* Tralista's name was made so it had a lot of similarities with the name Talonstar.
* No one knows where the scar across her left eye came from.

## Notes

1. ↑ The possiblities for the famous pun "we'll crush you like ANTS" is entirely intentional - not by Tralista, but very much by the creator.
