I forgot to write it on the ref, but if you look at the chibis you can see she has a pair of scars on her neck (her left, our right). Those are not optional, but are only visible in her human or neko forms since the thick fur on her neck hides it in her anthro and feline forms. I also need to add her cheek scar to the chibis as I seem to have completely forgotten to.

My oldest character, Sira, who I've had in some form since I was about 10. She was also my first fursona when I originally set foot in furry spaces when I was 13. She's been through a lot of changes in that time, as some longtime friends who know my oldest FA accounts can attest! As a character she's always been a were-jaguar (and was originally also half demon), but as a fursona she was originally a jaguar/dragon hybrid, then a were-jaguar, and for a couple years she was even black with blue rosettes instead of her classic silver.

She was largely abandoned as a character in 2019 due to a stalking issue I was experiencing, but in the last year I stopped caring if my stalker finds me again. I've ended up reworking her backstory a good bit because I've brought her into my original story verse, Slumbering Gods. She isn't one of the demigods there, but unlike her previous incarnations, she's also not a demon anymore. Just a full-blooded werecat all around. And a werelynx now! I do miss drawing her long tail but I feel this better suits her (especially since jaguars aren't native to the continent she was born on, which would vaguely be analogous to Europe).

Her last name is also technically different. Her classic surname of Nightfyre doesn't fit in the world of Slumbering Gods (as a birthname at least), so I've had her keep her ex-husband's surname. Mostly because she can't get a legal name change due to faking her death when she was 28. Going by that name for work purposes is fine by her, but if she trusts you enough to tell you her preferred surname is Nightfyre and you still call her Torbitt-- or worse, Mrs. Torbitt-- she'll deck you.

And if you mention her ex, Timothy Torbitt, around her, or ask if they still do partnered work, you'll be blacklisted from her services and possibly find your name on her personal hit list.

I'd put more information regarding her place in the Slumbering Gods world and story, but none of it is finalized yet. She's not involved in the main plot very much, though she is old friends with someone who is. She mostly spends her time carrying out jobs on other continents and occasionally having tense encounters with her ex husband, who isn't sure if he wants to kiss her or kill her, considering she did kill him back in the day. Since she's not a demigod like all the main characters in the story, she's free to do whatever she wants instead of being dragged kicking and screaming into the main story.
