Welcome to Gaia! ::

Not too long ago, Oboé was part of a circus-type troupe of leopards.

This troupe would roam from place to place entertaining others, mostly because they had nothing better to do. But their easy-going way of life evolved into a much more serious kind and they began collecting orphaned leopards and trained them to be performers; the younger they were, the better.

Oboé lived with her two parents for a very short amount of time when she was a very young cub. One day, she was separated from them. Whether they had left her there or she had just gotten lost is a mystery that not even she can solve. Regardless, the roaming troupe of leopards found her. Charmed by her disinterested-yet-interested personality and bright-colored coat, they invited her to join them. She did. They trained her hard to become a dancer, forcing an extreme amount of knowledge on the subject into her mind, along with many other cubs they trained. If they did not do well or forgot what they had been taught, they were punished.

Over the course of many years, Oboé got more and more talented in her performances and was getting the most attention out of everyone in the troupe. She grew to be a sort of threat to the other leopards, who were becoming quite jealous of her ever-growing fan base. Her quirky, lazy personality was also getting to be too much to handle. So when all these things piled up, they decided to exile Oboé from their troupe. Oboé was threatened harshly by many of the members, but Oboé's closest friends turned their backs as if they could not see or hear anything that was happening, which did much more damage to Oboé than threats did. Oboé was taken far away and left alone in the wilderness with her only true friend, a serval named Bevin, knowing nothing else but dancing.

Now, Oboé spends most of her days sleeping and not worrying much about anything, though in her heart is an empty space which yearns to perform once more. She never stays in one place for very long since she grew up constantly traveling.

Secretly, she's plotting a way to band together her own troupe of animals and take back the spotlight from those who exiled her.
