Personality:

Belinde is very much a free spirit. She likes to do things her own way and no one else's. Because of this, she tends to get into trouble a lot and doesn't do too well with authority. When asked to do something, she'll usually just brush it off and do it whenever she feels like doing, which is usually not right away. Most of the time when she is asked to steal, she'll get side tracked and steal things for herself, then go and steal things for the Empire.

Because of the abuse taken on by her father when she was younger, she tends to ignore pain and doesn't care about getting yelled at. She usually shrugs it off and goes about her day, unless it came to them talking about her collection of things. She is very protective of her stuff and can sometimes lose her temper if someone gets too close or tries to take something that she found. Her collection was the only thing besides her mother that made her happy, and she was not about to let that go.

Belinde is a bit of a kelptomaniac, which means she likes to steal things that are of trivial (or of little worth/importance) value. She'll steal things that mean nothing to the Empire, Resistance, and things that the humans have left laying around. No one really cares if they go missing, so she keeps them and adds them to her collection.

Brief backstory:

Belinde was born into a litter of three. She, along with her two brothers were born later one night after their mother had retreated home from her mate. He was out searching for her when he finally returned home to see the litter. Displeased with the outcome, he took the two sons and killed them, moving for the little girl next. Silje, hearing the cried of the two, quickly pulled the last one towards her and protected her from her father's cruelty. He finally walked away and let her keep the last one. Her mother's partically blind eyes looked to the two dead ones, sobbing while the little one whined from the screams. Her mother kept her warm and promised to protect her.

As Belinde got a little older, her father took her and began to teach her how to live, though was very abusive. Even if she would do the slightest thing wrong, she would get verbal abuse and sometimes her would even strike her. The only one she had to go to to feel better was her mother, even though her sight was getting worse and worse by the day. She helped her mother the best she could to tell her what was going on, and in turn, she would always help Belinde feel better about herself and her father. She was so happy to be with her mother. Along with this, she began to collect things that she found that were out in the city when she was with her father. She would always bring them back to show her mother and kept them as a collection where she slept. It wasn't very big, but it was nice to have something of her own.

One day, Belinde had come to visit her mother, finding that she was getting ill and went to tell her father. He told her to go out and get some herbs to help, and not to return empty handed. Feeling determined, she heading out, finding the herbs she needed, only to have them taken by someone else. She begged the other polecat to let her have them, but her didn't care for her story and went away. Belinde followed him and stole the herbs when he wasn't looking. She soon returned home to find her father covered in her mother's blood. He admitted to getting rid of her and was ready to go for her next. Belinde jumped as her father came close, bitting him in the neck and not letting go. With the abuse, she was used to the pain he gave her. He soon suffocated and soon died. Belinde, now without any parents, took what she could carry of her collection and went to find a new place to live.

Being alone was not so bad. She had found a nice place to call home and had even added to her collection, though this time she was stealing more items rather than just finding them. She was stealing all kinds of things, from fancy looking things, to items that no one really cared about. The Empire soon recognized her talents and she was taken in as one of their thieves. She began to steal things for them and for herself from the Resistance, though that didn't stop her from stealing from the Empire too. She lives alone within the Empire's territory, stealing when she feels like it and adding more to her wonderful collection.

/ Riptide
"Well now, this one is quite interesting. He is the commander for the Empire and is at least not rude for the high rank that he takes. He is actually nice and seems to like the skills that I have to offer, not to mention that he is quite handsome. Maybe I'll see him around again soon."

Role-play Example:

Belinde laid stretched out in her home, feeling the feathers that she called her bed tickle the skin under her fur. Ah how nice it felt to just stay at home and relax, taking in the looks and scents of it. Her amber orbs gazed around to the many things that she had collected over the years. There were so many things here and not enough room to fit a lot more. She was going to have to find some way to add more room to her home, or find a way to fit everything she owned neatly around it. The polecat stretched out her limbs before getting up, pulling all the loose feathers out and laying them neatly back where they belonged. Her tail sprung up as she looked to the string and beaded necklace she had hanging from there. "No no, not today." She took them off her tail and began to think. Where should she wear them today? Perhpas her neck? No, maybe around her waist. "I know!" She took them carefully and began to wrap them around her right front leg. "Ah, perfect. Now, let's get to work." She padded over to one pile of her collection, going through things and organizing them on the floor of her home. It was taking up some space, but she was sure that once she had this all done, there would be some more room for herself to enjoy and she could always take out her collection again when she wanted it.

Artist Comments:

Here is my application for INFESTED by *PyrisTheInsanity and ~SevenZee. It looked very interesting and I really wanted to join, so I hope I get in. I made mine a marbled polecat, and this is my first time drawing something like this. I am actually very pleased with how this picture came out. Perhaps there is still some home for the future.
