[b]Where Is Your Character's Favorite Place To Be?[b]
What a funny question. When Atbash was younger, she would probably have answered that she loved being with her mother, with much enthusiasm in her voice. She loved being near the other domestic she-cat, and loved how gentle her mother was. Her mother was an orange feline with dark grey eyes, although they weren't nearly as black as the rest of her families' eye color. Atbash, Caesar, Vigenere, and their father had near black eyes, but that didn't mean Atbash didn't like the way her mother's eyes looked any less. In fact, she found them pretty. But what did Atbash miss the most about being with her mother? Was when she was wrapped around Atbash and her two brothers, purring softly and humming a song for her children to sleep. Atbash fondly remembered the sound of her mother's voice and oh how she missed it, but that had been her favorite place to be for the longest time.
Even as Atbash grew up, she still enjoyed being by her mother's side. Although it was mostly because she had to, considering the treatment of females in the Seventh Tier. They were stay-at-home mothers and Atbash's mother was constantly talking to her about what it was like and what to do and what was proper. Being by her mother's side gave her a sense of security, a sense of relief. It distracted her from how lowly females were treated in the Tier she was born in, despite her mother's constant worries. Her mother's voice was too soft and soothing to be taken as a warning, but Atbash knew she was only telling her things to keep her safe. After all, she couldn't stay by her mother's side forever. Soon Atbash would be sold off to some male and forced to marry him. It was how the Dimension worked, it was how society was ran, and Atbash had to accept it.
After Caesar destroyed their home, Atbash found her favorite place to be was right with their eldest sibling, Vigenere. He was practically the head of the family now and he would actually protect her. Vigenere told that her himself; that he would make sure Caesar would never harm her again, and he took care of her whenever she was healing from her wounds. Vigenere was trained to fight and Atbash trusted him, and he slowly grew to become her favorite place to be. Wherever he was, she wanted to be with him. He became her sense of safety and security. But then he threw it all away; Vigenere soon chased Atbash off, much to her dismay and surprise. Vigenere growled at her and claimed he needed time alone to think and actually threatened her before she ran off towards Snowbound.
And then Snowbound became that place. Atbash knew she would like it here right after she joined, when she was greeted with amazing hospitality from Jacob, Izuku, and many of the other Snowbounders that have gone missing since the human attack. Cry was actually the first members of Snowbound to hear about her past; Atbash always felt a close connection with the raven and she sort of became Atbash's safety. But then she disappeared and Jacob replaced her until he abandoned his rank as Chief and left for The Typhoon. Izuku has since replaced Jacob, though Cry was right back in her original place. But unlike the other two instants above, Atbash liked Snowbound as a whole, not just one singular person. For once in her life she was happy.
