[b]Name:[/b] Amara G'rfeld

[b]Age:[/b] 25

[b]Species:[/b] Caitian

[b]Gender:[/b] Female

[b]Height:[/b] 5'3" (160cm)

[b]Weight:[/b] 55kg (~119lb)

[b]Appearance Description:[/b]
Amara is of the particular 'branch' of the species that has a digitgrade posture and feet. As such, she rarely wears footwear, other than in hazardous or 'unpleasant' conditions (e.g. dirty, unsanitary, or unsafe places). She has a long tail with a tufted black tip the same colour as her hair, and relatively large ears for a Caitian, with lynx-like, tufted tips on them. 
Her fur is an orangey-brown with a lighter, cream-white hue on her front from her chin along the front of her body down to her inner thighs. She has brown, triangular stripes or markings that counter this, mostly along her back, but also on her cheeks, the top of her tail and on the 'outer' side of her limbs, and as a 'mask' around her eyes. 
Her hair-like mane is dark brown and is worn long at the back, and with a long bang at the front, with her left side shaved. The long bang at the front is dyed a bright pink. She has bright green eyes and a pink fleshy nose, paw pads, and other bare flesh.
Both ears have four piercings near the base, including a plug-type piercing at the bottom of both, and then a series of studs or rings.
Relatively slender, as with most female Caitians; Amara has a slim, athletic, petite build. Her curves are very modest and slight for the most part, though she has quite noticably feminine hips.

Personal Information:
[b]Biography:[/b]
Amara had a relatively normal life on Cait (aka Ferasa), growing up in a regular family situation. Always fascinated by travel and by starships and exploration, joining Starfleet was a logical and natural fit for her. 
While like most Catians, she is not overly violent or aggressive, she showed a natural prowess for martial arts and athletic pursuits, as well as a keen eye and easy grasp of the use and application of tactical systems, weaponry and their workings. She also showed a clear and keen grasp of strategy, escalation, and the other aspects of dangerous situations, leading her into a tactical role - although, she was equally interested in the pyschology of situations, and at one point almost went into the field of counselling, as this reflected her loving, open, caring and inquisitive nature about others and their personalities, thoughts, traits and minds. 

During her time at the academy, she studied hard and eagerly, though not without having her fun; she gained something of a reputation for having a string of very intense, passionate, but brief romantic entanglements, as well as being very embracing of the idea of 'R&R' by thoroughly engaging with - and even organising - more than a few excursions to various party spots. 
Despite this carefree side and what would appear to be lacking in seriousness or care for her role or career, or even those around her, Amara does have a serious and dedicated side, and is quite intelligent and thoughtful, and she cares deeply for those she gets close to and sharing her feelings and herself with others is an expression of that deep love and care she has for them - even if it does leave her vulnerable and often with conflicted feelings and thoughts. 

Despite being well-versed and knowledgeable on the role and requirements of a tactical and security position, Amara has had little practical experience in the role so far, having only handled small and minor incidents in her position as a cadet, but no actual 'live-fire' situations, as it were. While she keeps it quiet and shows willing, enthusiasm and eagerness to her peers and superiors, there is a constant worry that she may freeze up or hesitate when the time comes for the real thing, and it may be in a situation that results in someone getting hurt, or worse, and how this may affect not just her career, but her life. 

[b]Other Details:[/b] 
Despite her loathing of her 'reputation', such as it is, of being 'easy' and something of a 'freaky' lay, Amara [i]does[/i] quietly embrace and enjoy quite an open 'intimate' life, though she is very, [i]very[/i] adamant and firm that she doesn't want it to be her defining or memorable trait, or the only thing she is known for, and is keen to live it down. 
She is also absolutely fascinated by the fact that Earth cats are so similar to Caitians, and the role they play in human society. Collecting tschotkes, ornaments, curios, memorabilia and trinkets of cats is something she has adopted, and she has a fondness for cartoons and comic strips involving cats... and an odd fondness for Lasagne and hatred of Mondays, which may or may not be related.
