^{A small amount of barbed wire is cut and wrapped around
the tip of her tail as she was unfortunately caught in a fence, during a livestock raid.}

^{Damu is a big bitch of a cat. Little tiny things offend her and she’ll bring up something completely random for an excuse to fight. She despises animals smaller than her for unknown reasons. Mysterious? Quite. The lion is also not one to turn tail and run from a fight, she’s going to fight to the death weather it’s the opponent or herself. Damu takes pain seriously, if you hurt her, you can count on being hated or injured in return.}

^{Damu’s strengths include her massive size, and speed that defies the law of her build.
This includes her her overall status of a cat, such as hearing and eyesight.}

^{Unfortunately, when Damu is speedy, she is speedy for a feline. Dogs can easily outrun her if they get a head-start, and this is mostly because she wastes all her energy on getting her’s. The cat goes ballistic when she hears any noise that resembles barking or howling and attacks dog or human silhouettes. She can also be easily outsmarted when she’s insanely angered.}

(not final- may change)
She was born in a cave, just about like everyone else. But she wasn’t the oddball of the litter, all her siblings looked the same as she did, black and red. But her mother and father were completely normal. Both black, and that didn’t explain their children’s odd coloring. The only thing unusual about them was where they had inhabited. This was no jungle.

Nether less, the cubs were granted names: Damu, Paca, and Dig. They were nothing special and the parents just wanted to raise their cubs like any old parents would do.

Until the humans came.

Cats skins such as: Tiger, Leopard, Puma, and Cheetah were becoming popular, and the parents of the trio became the target. The mother was shot and killed, and the father- being the father, probably never associated with the cubs anyway. If he ever caught them, they’d probably be killed.

So, the kin began to die. Dig first. Paca second. But the reaper just couldn’t seem to get hold of Damu, it was like your hands were wet and you were trying to get a death-grip on a bar of soap. She managed to have enough knowledge to know she was going to die, but somehow prevented it.

The zoo.

By the very name of it, it sounded better than a circus, am I not correct? Escaping at age one and a half, dogs attacked, humans attacked. What was a poor panther to do? She fought back, of course! And the towns’ people, having heard the legend of Akakabuto, gave her, her cruel name. Since Duma resembled him with her red back.

It was only that her temper began with a few dogs locked up in their yards, and humans grabbing their guns at the sight of her. Duma wasn’t doing anything wrong, was she? All that she was occupied with was walking to the creek to cool her burning throat.

And a bullet grazed the top of her neck.

Now, this was the first time Duma was ever shot at with a real bullet. And this angered her, only causing her to kill the human with the dogs shying away. Only until a canine who thought he was brave, leapt at her throat. She killed him with a bite to his cranium.

Every time a human shot at her, a dog seemed to be involved. And she couldn’t help but wonder if they were that loyal to the two-legged scum.
