Her back half is fully striped, covering her back, stomach, legs and tail. Ceres has the same orange lining her eyes, and the bridge of her nose is also orange, fading into white.

Speed: Ceres is fast, there’s no disputing that, but she is not as fast as others, having no specific training or need, and hasn’t specially developed in that area.

Strength: Ceres’ strength is apparent in her arms especially –years of having to look after two boys, and though she has had no specific training, she has strength enough to get by.

Jewellery: Ceres has her earlobes -and also her navel and right eyebrow pierced, and tends to wear mostly silver, with the odd diamond or sapphire. The only rings she is want to wear are her engagement and wedding rings. She wears random necklaces, bracelets and anklets, all silver, and usually rather feminine in nature.

Outfit/Weapons: A fan of feminine clothing, Ceres will wear long skirts and fitting shirts, but she is also a fan of trousers –jeans especially. She loves earthy colours, green especially, but would wear any colour under the sun. Ceres has no obvious weapons to speak of.

Information: Ceres has a relatively small history before she met Benvolio. Born in Italy to her wealthy parents, Ceres was, quite naturally, the heir to their proverbial throne. Forcing suitors willy-nilly on the girl as soon as she hit fifteen, her parents wished her to quickly get married to a suitable Feral of the same status, and they were soon driving the poor girl mad. Rebelling against her parent’s wishes, she would run away frequently, but never for long –her parents having contacts almost everywhere, it was increasingly hard to sneak about. But, sneak about she did, and in one happenstance, came across the most intriguing man she had ever met -Benvolio. He was an Italian native like herself, and indeed a Feral, but definitely not the type her parents would encourage her to court. He was the product of a hard life on the streets, and though his hard exterior was almost impenetrable, she weaselled her own way into his heart easily. Falling in love almost instantly, Benvolio and Ceres caused havoc wherever they went, in Human and Feral worlds alike. They were complete opposites, refined and rugged at the same time. It wasn’t long before her parents found out –and absolutely forbid them to be together. Not only did he have no status in ‘their’ world, but he was a Lycan, of all things. According to most, Lycan and Feline did not mix. Pressure on both sides, the pair ran away for good, trying to rid themselves of all who would try to pry them apart. Travelling across Europe to Canada, the pair lived there for two years –before the birth of their son Regan caused them to rethink their wayward ways. Ceres, a young mother now at only 19, needed a stable environment for her son. They lived in Canada for a few more years, before they heard of a new clan, in Colorado who were willing to take in Ferals, no matter their status or loyalties. Upon meeting with the Alpha of the clan, who, by chance, happened to be in the area at the time, they decided to make the shift, and were soon members of the newly reborn Ngati Mate. Ceres fell pregnant once again at the age of 25, and Regan was soon joined by his brother, Jagger.
