Name: Amber Wild Species: Anthropomorphic Lynx Sex: Female Gender: Female Pronouns: She/Her Age: 23 Eyes: Emerald green

As I sit by the dying embers of last night's campfire, I find myself lost in thought, my emerald eyes staring into the glowing coals as if seeking answers to the questions that have plagued me for years. I take a deep breath, the smoke tingling my feline nose, and begin to recount my story, my voice tinged with a slight western drawl and the hard-won wisdom of a life lived on the edge.

I reckon I was born to roam, born under a wanderin' star, as my ma used to say. Grew up in the wilds of Northern California and Nevada, part of the nomad band known as clan Wild. We was a tight-knit bunch, always on the move, followin' the game and the grass. I had me a brother, Alain, two years older, and a lil' sister, Ruby, two years younger. We was a right proper family, or so I thought.

I took to huntin' early on, natural as breathin' was to me. The old-timers said I had a gift, a talent for the spear that none of the other young'uns could match. I'd trail along with the hunters, watchin' and learnin', until one day they let me tag along for real. I was just a lil' thing, but I was determined, and I had me a knack for sneakin' up on even the most skittish critter.

But it weren't all sunshine and roses growin' up. When I turned fourteen, I had me a taste of what it meant to be a woman, out there in the wilds. Met a boy from another clan, Caleb, he was a strapping young tomcat, all muscles and grins. We snuck off together during this big ol' clan gettin' together, and I learned what it meant to be with a man. It weren't my first time, but it was the first time I really understood the power a woman can have over a man, and the power a man can have over a woman.

I reckon that memory is what kept me goin' after... well, after everythin' went to hell. See, a few years later, when I was sixteen, we stopped at this here settlement in northern Nevada, lookin' to trade and rest up. I'd been goin' at it with this young buck named Darrian for a few days, sneakin' off to fool around in the woods when we could. He was a wild one, always lookin' for a thrill, and I was more than happy to oblige.

But that was before the slavers came. We never saw 'em comin', not until it was too late. They'd been watchin' us, waitin' for the perfect moment to strike. And they hit us hard, killed all the men, and took most of the women and girls. Including me, and my baby sister Ruby.

I remember holdin' her, cryin' and prayin' to anythin' that would listen. But no one answered. I was taken to a brothel in New Vegas, kept drugged up and full of aphrodisiacs, forced to service clients day and night. I lost track of how long I was there, but it felt like an eternity.

But I didn't stay broke for long. I woke up one mornin' with a mighty painful belly, and before I knew it, I was pukin' my guts out all over the mornin' meal they'd left for me. By that evenin', I was startin' to come 'round, my head clear for the first time in longer than I could remember.

The slaver's apprentice that I'd been servicing regular, that Darrian, he showed up as my last client for the evenin'. I played along, puttin' on a show, just waitin' for the right moment. When he came, I grabbed his throat, and I tore it out, watchin' as he bled out on the bed. I took his gun and his keys, and I ran.

I hid out in a house on the outskirts of the city, lived off the supplies I could scavenge and the altruism of the folk who'd abandoned it. I holed up there for near a month, recoverin' from the drugs, before I finally had the strength to strike out on my own.

From there, I've been wanderin' the wasteland, explorin' and scavengin' and survivin' as best I can. I've had my share of troubles with the law, and the slavers who still think I owe 'em somethin' for their dead apprentice. But I've been huntin' them too, when I can, givin' 'em a taste of their own medicine. And I've been tryin' to find out what happened to my li'l sister, my Ruby. I don't rightly know if she's still out there, but I refuse to believe she ain't. I won't stop lookin' for her, not until I know for sure.

I'm Amber Wild, and I might look like a young lil' thing, but I'm a survivor. I'm fast and I'm smart, and I'm not afraid to do what I gotta do to get by. I've got me a set of breasts that could make a grown man drool, and a backside to match, but don't let that fool ya. I've got the scars and the wisdom of a woman who's seen too much, and the fight of a wildcat in a corner.

I'm not lookin' for anythin' permanent, and I sure as hell ain't lookin' to settle down anytime soon. I've got too much wanderin' to do, too many ghosts to lay to rest. But I ain't opposed to havin' a good time, to celebratin' the fact that I'm still alive and breathin' and feelin' everythin' that life has to offer. So if you're thinkin' you might be willin' to help me with that, well, I reckon you're in luck. But don't go thinkin' it means anythin' more than it does. I'm still the same wildcat I've always been, and I've got too much to do to be tied down to one man.

But hey, that's just my philosophy. You can take it or leave it, but I know which one I'd choose. I'm Amber Wild, and I aim to keep on livin' wild and free, for as long as I can. And right now, that means explorin' and scavengin' and survivin', and maybe, if I'm lucky, findin' me a partner in crime. But you gotta be willin' to keep up with me, 'cause I ain't plannin' on slowin' down anytime soon. That's just the way I roll.
