Personality: Though valuing her live above all else, Panthera, like some of her copied species, is maternal at heart, longing for a child of her own. Though unable to copulate with all species, it's rare for her to not at least consider caring for the children of even other species thanks to her sentience. Even so, I will stress this: she will not hesitate to abandon others to keep herself alive, and though she is maternal, and can (and does) express love towards others, places herself as the most important thing in her life. Also skittish, and quick to doubt others, even if she places her trust in them.
Backstory: Born 80 years ago, Panthera's life and name have changed many a time. She was not born a panther, nor has been one for much longer than four or so years. Much of her past was spent as a koi fish, swimming around the rare lakes of her birthplace, Mesopotamia. A large fish, she was always a target for predators, and given her intelligence, this only served to deeply root a desire for survival above even most common beasts. She even valued the prospect of surviving over protecting her children, of which in her life she's had many. (Though none as a Panther.) She had barely spent four years as a koi before metamorphizing after being captured by a fisherman. She was, again, an aquatic creature, though this time she was reborn a frog. Again, another prey animal, and again did she find life against her.


It was only after she used her toxic skin to kill a hungry snake did she experience the freedom of being a predator, with few creatures that could ever hope to be a threat to her. She was powerful, quick, and could crush a man's lungs in her coils like dry timber. However, this freedom, oddly enough, came with a deep sense of boredom. Yes, she still had predators who could kill her, hunt her, eat her, but they were few and far between. To alleviate this boredom, she cautiously began to follow humans, learning their language, though not speaking it, for she lacked the ability to as a snake. In the expansive arid lands of Mesopotamia, she'd spend time stalking humans, yet leaving them be. However, she couldn't be lucky enough to keep stalking ignorant humans, as one attacked her after realizing that they were being stalked by a giant snake.


Having been scared off by the human, deep into the badlands and highlands of Mesopotamia, Panthera found herself as close to death as she'd ever been-- a thought which terrified her at a level deeper than she could hope to imagine. In a desperate bid to survive, she stalked, fought to death the closest animal she could find-- a panther. They fought for hours, before Panthera finally bound the panther, strangling it with her coils, and crushing its lungs. The deed done, and nourished on the panther's nutrient-lacking meat, Panthera began her final transformation, into what she is now: Panthera obessio. Now, she still stalks humans, and still puts her survival above all others, but she still finds humans and other sentient beings wonderfully interesting, and against her better judgement, can't help but huddle in the shadows, and observe.

Appearance: Panthera is, as her name suggests, a Displacer Being in the form of a Panther. With her dark fur, she's often confused with the melanic variety of Leopard, the Black Panther. However, the extra set of forelegs she sports, along with her twin, diamond shaped Obsessors on her back and pure white eyes make her easy to distinguish from others of her species. Like all Displacer Beings she is very large for her species's size, being just a little taller and longer than her male counterparts. However, she does not weigh a thing, and at a glance, may appear emaciated, due to her natural thinness. Perhaps her only striking difference with others of her species is a single red circle between her eyes, which appears to be painted on.
