ARISIDE LANECES
✯ — GIVE ME A CHANCE TO CATCH MY BREATH
space
a tigress moved around the base of the mountain silently, her head turning left and right. she had come out to the sea out of her own boredom, hoping to come and find a little bit of peace after all that she had been through.
she didnt mind the water, it masked her scent and her trail. she knew that groups were in the area, but the border scents had been wiped away by the floods. she sought a place to build her life over once again. she had ... failed in the last group that she had settled with.
she was similar to a mercenary in her career while she traveled, selling her sword's services for certain things she could not find on her own. she had been a human once, years ago now. she had lost the grip of her earth and was sent into this one by her own stupidity. maybe it was a bit of favour shown by whatever powers might be out there. maybe it was the preservance of her soul that had guided her to this existence, unable to give up her search for the one that had destroyed her former life and family.
years ago, though it felt like centuries, had the mansion she had lived in, gone up in flame. she had been away on a mission as set out by the den-father, at the time of the fire. the police called it accidental arson, but the corpses recovered in the burnt out husk of the building? they were not regular. she had always been sensitive to the supernatural worlds that co-existed with their own reality, but she had been forced to embrace the darker portion of the worlds. she had been hunting as a means of making a little coin to set aside for the future.
she had been in a courtship with another who had called the mansion his home. their romance wasnt some brilliant blazing love that shook the ground and felled trees. their love was more quiet, more patient, more like the waiting tiger in the reeds. they had been engaged, to be married at some undetermined time in the future. but the fire had stripped that all away from them. she had found his body locked in combat with one of the unknown and unnatural corpses. she heard the last of his breaths, held his hand as the darkness took him. she had killed the monster that had been fighting him, soon burying everyone she had called family in a massive grave.
she had been lost for months, couch-surfing with friends she had made in her profession. after grieving long enough, she got back into the game. she started learning about the demons and the supernatural. she started hunting with more of a clear intent. she started killing for the reprieve and sense of satisfaction it gave her. she had started over and she had rose, she had rose to the top of the most known hunters in the world! she had been at the top, where she couldn't be hurt, but then it had happened.
she died.
she had worked so hard, for it all to work. she had been doing well, but she hadnt been paying attention to her body. it had been her downfall. such a stupid reason. she had been violent, and bitter, stuck now in a tiger's body. but she never ever gave up on her career once. she had found metals and made her sword over once again. she wasn't going to go down so easily this time. she was going to fight tooth and nail.
and so her journey had begun. she had joined a small group, tracking down a mediocre demon in the forests, and she had loved it there despite their hatred for outsiders. it reminded her of home, of her lost family and last happy memories. maybe they had been brought to this strange world, she no longer knew, and frankly, could not find it within herself to care any longer. in this group she had quickly raised up to the third rank of power, and had protected her groupmates. she had taken up a second position as the first in power's bodyguard, but she could not defend against illness. illness took the woman that she had secretly begun to care for, and it had ravaged the rest of the group. she alone was left alive, having fought with the virus years before. the illness had taken most of her voice, and it still plagued her to this day.
it had been weeks since the group had fallen. she had been traveling out towards the coast since then, bringing with her old scars and a broken heart. she needed a place to settle down, to pursue a second, more quiet life. she needed the room to set up her forge and use as a home base, she needed people to call family. she needed a new home.
ariside could only hope that this new place would be here, where she could sense life brewing and moving up on the mountain.

Re: gotta keep runnin', runnin' // joiner - GORDON CIPHER. - 11-26-2018
If Gordon could read this tigress's thoughts, perhaps she could sympathize with her. After all, the munchkin mix had been searching for a new place to call home, once she escaped her father's grasp in The Typhoon. At first, Gordon had settled in The Ascendants, but found the place to be far too busy and bustling for her tastes and eventually found her way to Sunhaven. Slowly, she climbed their ranks, becoming a Goldenblood - where she has stayed since. Not that she was complaining, of course.
Being a high position, however, meant that despite her fears and worries, Gordon knew she would have to go off on her own eventually. Despite the massive size of the tigress that moved towards where Sunhaven was taking refuge during the flood, Gordon forced herself to approach Kade (whose name she didn't know, of course). "Ah, h-hello!" Gordon called out to her, blinking up at the much, much larger feline. "M-my name is Gordon Cipher, and y-you're near Sunhaven's territory. What brings you h-here?"

Now Fin was guilty of bringing grief to those who didn't ask for it, the vampire had brought death each time they reslasped from their hunger and driven drive to attack. They still trying to make a home amongst all this strife and madness that they brought to themselves.
But now they were sauntering over after hearing Gordon speak to someone knew, a tigeress. There was only one large big cat in the area, and it was Ichigo. The brown lynx point raised their head in the direction of the large warrior, and sat on their haunches. " Greeting weary warrior." they spoke softly.

ariside looked down as she was approached. ah, had she trespassed? she bowed her legs to come down to Gordon and Infirmaryward, twitching her whiskers in greeting.
a gentle smile graced tired lips, a deep voice resonating of a dark history, voice broken and rough as washing board. "hello, ms. gordon chiper. sunhaven you say, ma'am? I have come in search of a new home and folks to call family." her words were slightly slowed down, easier to pronounce after the illness. on the underside of her throat was a jagged scar along where her voicebox would be.
her gaze turned to fin as he approached, tipping her head to the side with a chuckle, "is everyone so small? ah. you can sense it on me." she murmured in good nature before sighing. her tail flicking slightly she observed the two smaller felines. she was happy to be here, of course. she could offer her strength and sword if either were needed, she was not expecting a free roof and food.

Gordon blinked in surprise at the way Kade spoke, finding the respectful way the tigress said her words a surprise. Especially coming from a creature much bigger than herself. "Ah, yes! Th-this is Sunhaven." The Goldenblood confirmed, briefly looking over at Infirmaryward as he came over before turning her attention back to Kade. "Y-you're welcome to stay with us! B-but, um, what's your name?" That wasn't... entirely rude to ask, right? After all, most people outright asked strangers their 'name and business' rather than an actual greeting. Not that Gordon minded the whole 'name and business' thing; she would just rather have a more personalized approach.

Ariside would smile awkwardly, "just like me to forget my manners. apologies. my name is ariside laneces." she told her with a dip of her head. she smiled when her question was confirmed, nodding to the serval cross, blue eyes smiling for her.
