Gender: Male

Pride Ranking: Sheriff
Desired Rank: Sheriff (loyal second-in-command; no desire to take the Chief’s place)

Appearance:
Addax stands taller than most, his frame a muscular blend of jungle agility and rugged durability. His Chausie lineage gives him long legs and tall, angular ears with faint tufts, while his Maine Coon heritage adds bulk and a slightly shaggy ruff around his neck and chest. His Bengal ancestry appears in his subtle charcoal rosettes dusted across a smoky, stone-gray pelt. His thick tail is kinked from a healed injury, and his heavy paws make his gait almost silent despite his size. A golden eye catches the sun like flame, while the other is clouded from an old wound.

Personality:
Addax is the type who leads by example—quiet but impossible to ignore. He upholds tradition but isn’t blind to change, often playing mediator between the more daring Rustlers and the pride’s older generation. There’s steel beneath his composure; he does not tolerate disobedience when laws are broken, but he’ll always hear every side before passing judgment. Though often seen as emotionally distant, his loyalty is deeply personal, especially toward the Chief, whose burdens he helps carry in silence. He sees the pride as his life’s work and legacy. Despite his intimidating presence, he has a deep sense of empathy—he just shows it through action, not words.
