Biography
 Dante was  born from a rogue family of Jaguarundi and margays a ways away from the city. He and his Father ,a Jagarundi, were both black as night in color but Dante carried some sign of his mothers spots but his sisters and mother, a margay,  where browns and creams like that of the margay pattern.  They lived far into the woods hidden among the trees.  That was there safest spot.  Dante's mother was very spiritual.  She spoke to the trees and made strange tonics from plants to help her family survive when they where injured or wounded or sick.  They were kinda like a tribe but made of jaguars.  He loved his life with his family but he couldn't help but wonder what more was out there.  His parents forbidden him and his sisters from the trees fearing there safety of course.  They hunted by night and rested during the day but sometimes Dante would sneak from the trees and explore the ground below.

    One day when Dante snuck from the tree nest he wandered to far.  He ended up near the border of Massila.  he was bewildered by the massive building and strange scents wafting from the area.  But however he didnt know a hunter patrol was roaming around.  He was attacked from the behind, pinned to the ground by a massive weight.  He yowled out as a mouth closed around his scruff and began to carry him away.  But he was suddenly dropped and he looked up to his his father and mother fighting off the hunter cats telling him to run home , He didnt wanna leave them but he did he ran as fast as he could leaping into the trees and making his way back home to his siblings  He panted waiting for his parents return and when they did they both were wounded and weak.  Dante never felt so horrible in his life.  he did as his mother told him to help with making treatments for there wounds.  Dante couldnt help but wonder what more was out there. He wanted to explore see where those cats were taking him see what else lies in these woods.
  
     After months of healing his parents where healthy once more and he talked with them. He was old enough o make his own decisions now it was time to leave the nest .  His parents were against it but he didnt care he wanted to be out there making something of himself  As night fell  he left, wishing his mother and father good bye, his mother gave him her lucky necklace hung with feathers and a mouse skull.  He bed them both farewell along with his sisters.  he was excited to be heading out, he went i the direction his parents sent him Away from Massila and towards the Empires.  Dante did not know of the Empires or what happens with them.  All he knew was he was exploring and finding himself.  Soon though He was met by a Ice empire cat  They talked and talked and Dante became fascinated with the stories and ways of the Empires he agreed to join and try this new life and meet all sorts of new cats. He Happily Followed to the Empire and was allowed to stay as as apprentice to train and become a mighty gladiator he was finally making something of himself.

Recently Dante had been captured by Vetitum a mighty hunter.  Dante was caged for a long time. Giving him time to think. His small size ment he wasnt much use for fighting other then bait or a toy. Good thing was a man named Jasper Martin happened across Dante at an auction. Due to Dantes small size and species the man wanted him and bid a good price for him. Dante was taken away by leash due to his calm and shy nature, he never once stuck out at a human or feline. So there was no need for him to be caged up for transport. it wasn't until they reached the Docks that His new owner then kneeled by him and hesitantly stroked his head for which Dante shyed away in fear at first but he felt the warmth of the mans hands and his gentle voice Dante allowed the mans touch. However while he was touching him he unclipped his leach/chain. he didn't know what the man was saying but Dantes first instinct was to run and hide. He hid in a near by basket next to the dock. He heard what sounded like a fit of laughter before the mans face peered in and scuffed him out and placed him on the ground patting his head before turning away and walking to a large boat. Dante crouched there afraid still while the man yelled up to the boat and a red headed little girl came running down to what must have been her father for a big hug. The Dante saw the mane point to him and the little girl grinned from ear to ear  and ran over to the now panicing Dante. Still as stone he stood as the little girl picked him up and gave him a soft yet firm hug. Dante was so taken a back by the gestures and still afraid  of what they might do to him he just stayed still as she carried him to the boat. her father following.

He had come to find the girls name was April. And she had been adopted by the man after her home burnt down from bandits and her family was killed. He was told this by an old 13 year old Jaguar named Wyatt or by the humans as Boulder who was also aboard the boat with them.  He didn't do much, due to his age, but he was loved all the same. Dante hid for the most part but it wasn't like he could go anywhere he was out at sea for what felt like years. However he slowly grew with the little girl April. She was always so gentle with him and so was the man and the rest of the crew. Dante was falling into ritual to wake with the little girl and follow her around the ship chasing rats who got on board. Dante began to enjoy the cuddles, the pets and treats he got on a regular basis. He thought maybe he really could stay here. And that was what he did. he became quiet the dock cat. Dante also got a name fro himself when he killed 10 fish in one sitting . By the humans he was now know as Fisher. Dante loved being at Sea now. He loved the salty air and he had his own perch high on the boats stern where he could se for miles over the waters and he loves exploring all the place his crew traveled to. He always wanted to see the world and now he was. Beyond the Empires beyond the hunters. There was a huge world no one knew about.. Dante once a wild empire cat was now a pampered Pet. He thought he would never settle like this with humans having been feral his whole life but he realized people were not all that bad and that sometimes life does not go the way things are planned. He liked where he was at  in life. This was his home now. And though he missed all his friends back at ice empire, he couldn't give up this life. not now when his littler girl needed him and his crew as well. he never felt at home in the empire but he also didnt like the hunters ideals.  This was finally where he belonged. Away from all the crazyness and in the arms of a loving family.
