Cat’s Name: Essmerelda (Essa, Ess, Essie, Frizzalicious, legs-magee, 'that one asshole', Esser (when she's drunk), Sausage (dont ask))
Loyalty: Currently with the Jellicles
Age: 34; adult
Family: Ezramses and Vancy ---
Appearance:
Essa is way taller than your average queen. In a human comparison, she would stand at 6"2. Her figure and gait could be purely described as Amazonian at best. All legs and arms, she's extremely built like a runner with a broad body, wider shoulders, and a more or less boyish figure. Which is quite ironic considering she hate's running and is an absolute homewrecker. She works out and is very aware of her body and in a way finds comfort in keeping herself fit, toned, and healthy. She has a flat stomach that's usually decorated with some semblance of abs (depends on how she feels in those months), and could outflex some men in terms of arm musculature.
Her hair is a major attribute to her all around appearance as it softens her features while demonstrating just how wild the queen is. Unkept, frizzy, and naturally curled into ringlets, Essa's hair is both thick and long. She feels more feminine with longer hair and with short hair, she notes that she could pass as a very sharp angled male. Not that she minds this, but she does like enjoy being a woman.
In terms of the CATS the musical style, Essa would have an extremely long, unkept mane-style with kinks and curls here and there.
Her eyes are a deep sapphire blue, nearly black looking but tend to reflect some cyans and purples when the light hits them correctly.
She is a Siberian, first and foremost, making her equally leggy, tall, fluffy, and bulky. Her pattern reflects common attributes of a Siberian with a silver undercoat, gray overtones, a white chest, and a pattern of deep gray striping her body.
Her face is another interesting characteristic, seeing that it's longer than most female faces and without the use of makeup or any beauty enhancers, Essa really isn't all that 'pretty'. She's very memorable and eyecatching, but definately not 'bombshell' worthy by any means. Her cheeks are generally accentuated by dimples when she smirks, grins, or even scowls. Her nose is slender and long and her lips aren't excessively plump. In short, Essa is a queen that could catch someones eye, but seldom keep the attention. She's memorable, but not a welcome memory. There are cats that are easy on the eyes, however, this Siberian is anything but. She's rough, not only around the edges, but in every aspect. She's a lot to take in.
Personality: She's an asshole. That's it, that's Essa. jk
[Curious] [Thrill-seeker] [Impulsive] [Loud] [Exciting] [Self-Assured] [Blunt] [Easy-Going] [Loyal] [Protective] [Irresponsible] [Childish]
To present Essa on a first meeting's basis:
She is the type of person that is incredibly easy to talk to. Once you get over how tall and massive she is, you'll realize that she's actually quite interesting to talk to. She isn't a woman that particularly cares for small talk or even gossip. She likes invigorating conversation to engage her, make her laugh, and get her interested. Naturally an extrovert, it shouldn't surprise anyone when Essa welcomes herself to a conversation and continues it as if she'd been there the whole time. Essmerelda is extremely comfortable in her skin and with who she is and there's never a truly awkward moment around her. If she were to belch loudly in public, she'd just smack her lips and continue on with her day. Nothing really affects her, therefore, anyone, regardless of their nerves or how bad they are with socialization, they're bound to find a friend in the easy-going, incredibly straight shooting queen.
Essa, since her younger years, is a curious girl. She likes to try things just to see what would happen, she enjoys the thrill of a new game she'd invent, or taking a different path on the territory, just to find where it leads. She is also, as a defining feature, extremely impulsive. Don't expect a long drawn out conversation on whether or not you should party with Essa or not--if you've made the pitch, you better be able to take her hit. Essa's mind is made up utterly fast and she never looks back to think about the outcome in nearly all cases. She's also not the type to beat herself up over consequences, or her plans not going as she wanted. She's very self-assured in the aspect that she doesn't need anyones permission or acknowledgement to feel like she's fulfilled. She feels like she walks, talks, and acts for herself and no one else. Similarly, Essa isn't exactly the most lady-like queen ever--in fact, if she didn't like making love to men and the thrill of a new romance now and then, she'd chop her hair off and call herself a tom. She could certainly pass for one with her physique and mannerisms. But, even with all of her senseless arrogance to what society finds acceptable for a middle aged woman to do, Essa isn't stupid. She knows that cats may stare or give her odd looks when she acts out. It's never affected her.
Born in New York (the Bronx to be exact), Essa is naturally loud, if not a bit insulting, and incredibly blunt in her speaking. She always sounds like she's talking three notched too loud for an inside voice and has a thick New York accent to top it off. Her personality is straight forward. She says what she thinks and won't hesitate to blurt it out regardless of what others may think.
While many may find her personality utterly nauseating, others may find her exciting and a warm presence to be around. Essa isn't judgmental. Nor is she exactly 'catty' or rude. She can come off as rude, but she really isn't--her way of speaking is simply more honest and blunt and therefore taken as rude. When you're with Essa, you can be assured that you won't have a dull moment of conversation with her. She has a certain laugh that is so loud and striking, but can make others around her laugh as well. You'll also never get a lie or any dishonesty from Essa. If she tells you you look awful, she means it, but doesn't say it to be mean--she's just saying what she sees.
Essa's attention span is pretty small however. If a cat is speaking to her and they utterly bore her and don't engage her mind at all, she'd probably zone out and then cut off the cat unintentionally with her own thoughts. She is easily distracted and her den is usually a mess as she's constantly getting new ideas in the most spastic of ways.
On another perspective, the silver queen is also considered to be a self acclaimed hard ass both in physique and mentality. She looks tough and she is though. If she says she's got your back, she does and you better believe it.
Furthermore and lastly, Essmerelda is incredibly loyal to her friends (though she has few extremely close friends that know her well), protective of younger cats, and always ready to put herself on the line for them. She's the type to give amazing hugs, good pep talks, and emotional support to anyone that she feels needs it. However, she also lacks a lot of responsibility-therefore, she doesn't really want children or a mate and it's also why she left home. She doesn't like feeling in charge of others.
History: (watered down once more because this would take forever otherwise owo)
-Born in the Bronx, New York.
-Mother was a showgirl
-Father was a gangster
-She had a normal family life and learned street fighting from her father
-Pressured into becoming gang leader once she got older
-Not wanting the responsibility, Essa began to argue with her parents and gave them a hard time.
-She began to go to underground clubs where she discovered her love for partying, drinking, and casual sex.
-She also discovered her love for singing and shouting out how she felt to the world and finally people could hear her.
-Back at home, it was always her parents will over hers. So when she sang to crowds about how angry she was, they understood, they listened, and they applauded her. That made her feel great to finally express herself.
-At 18, her parents turned up dead by a rival gang and Essa fled. She wanted no part in this gang business anymore. She didn't want power, she wanted fun times, romance, and to have no worries.
-She boarded a boat, then another, and then a train where she met Skimbleshanks.
-She was bought to the junkyard.
-Being a New Yorker in a tribe of English cats was certainly an interesting change for her.
-Essa remains an obnoxiously American trash bag that enjoys partying, having a good time, and not giving any literal craps.
Desired Pairings: Essa/Everyone; No but in all seriousness, Essa is literally such a versatile gal in terms of romance. If you're interested, go right ahead and we'll see where it goes owo
Roleplaying Sample: (from an old old rp--this portrays her when she first enters the junkyard)
The trip to London was long, but the young queen slept through most of it anyway. Besides, killing your rapist, burning his home down, and then having to be rushed onto an airplane was always tiring. Essa had specific directions clutched between her paws the whole way there. After boarding two planes and then a train, she was in her destination. Along the way, she met several other feline runaways hidden in the back compartments of the plane with her. She was generally talkative, even when tired. On the train, she met a certain railway cat that assisted her and perked up when she mentioned the ‘Jellicle junkyard’. This was Skimbleshanks. Essa had no clue how her father had so many connections, but apparently being a big time gangster in New York meant you knew people, places, and how to make use of these connections. Ezra knew that the Jellicle junkyard was always friendly, accepting, and usually open to new felines at all times. It was the safest place for Essa to escape criminal charges and the harshness of her former home.
As the train stopped, Skimbleshanks had offered her a paw, but Essa lightly refused and walked herself out. Manners weren’t something she’d been taught and she didn’t really get the concept of toms being ‘polite’. So, ignoring the tom’s confused face, the queen took in the scene before her.
It took a little walking, but when she made it to the junkyard, she paused. It smelled familiar, as Essa had lived around a few junkyards in her life, but the scents of the cats was far different and all new. Pulling out a sort of candy from her bag, she unwrapped it from the plastic and began to chew on that as she looked over the clearing. Not exactly nervous, but more or less unsure what was supposed to happen now, she stepped in.
She was nearly 17, but still only 16, but her physique and features could let her pass for an early 20. Essmerelda was her name, named after her Spanish rooted mother’s favorite stone. Her hair grew out long and wild and was severely untamed, especially after the long trip from New York. Her posture was lazy and not nearly as uptight as the youngest Jellicle queen. She walked as if she had no where important to be, but her gaze seemed intense enough to show her motives. She had her mother’s eyes—deep sapphire blue that looked nearly black in the shade because of their dark hue. In the sun, however, they sparkled with soft purples, cyan, and their natural indigo color. She was taller than the average queen—she had her father to thank for that. And her body was long, slender, and toned. It was clear that she was a young woman that was a hard worker and was on her feet a lot. There were no signs of makeup on her face. What you saw was what you got and her sharp face spoke for itself without the need of makeup and contouring. Her overall appearance was softened just slightly as her fur was incredibly fluffy and her long, plume like tail tailed behind her flicking lazily. Her overall aura came off rather calm or as if nothing could surprise her. To be seen as a generic ‘pretty queen’ she definitely needed a little maintenance, but she was by no means a forgettable she-cat.
"Who’s she?" Asked one tom. "I ain’t seen a Siberian like that since the last border fight we had with the Ravenstvas.” He joked, taking in Essa’s tall, sturdy form.

(Sample of Essa's accent)
Still chewing on the candy in her mouth, Essa took her time to respond. When she did, it was a good few moments later and she shook her head. Her etiquette wasn't that good either in terms of speaking rather than shaking your head or chewing and speaking at the same time. Not returning his greeting, the queen replied, "Nah, I ain't from around here. If you met me before it was probl'y in a dream or somethin'--not that you'd be dreamin' 'bout me, but y'know, it could happen." Swallowing the candy, she smacked her lips and continued, "I'm from the tribe of the New York. Heh, tribes. What are you, goddamn’ redskins?” She answered rather sarcastically but with a good humored snort. "I sorta need a place to stay and got put on a plane here from the Bronx, so I'm not sure how this whole 'tribe' business works."
How often can you be on?: Pretty daily :3

Comments:
-Essa has a thick New York accent.
-She's my bae
-She has a very p!nkish voice both speaking and singing. Her voice is rough, raspy, and she definitely smokes and drinks a lot. She's got a quirky, loud laugh, and generally sounds like she's been through a lot.
-Singing is a favorite passtime and she often sings the blues and about how much she hates running and excersising while doing said cardio.
-ESSA RUNS INTO THINGS A LOT AN ALSO ACCIDENTALLY BUMPS, HITS, AND TRIPS OVER HERSELF BECAUSE SHE'S SO TALL AND GANGLY.
