In return for the care and friendship they'd shown to her, Grace volunteered herself and prompted the mated couple Alder and Rei to use her as a surrogate. Giving birth to the litter, Grace left Cour des Miracles once the children were weaned, leaving them in their care of their fathers and ceased all contact. Born the fourth of five children; Argan, Silverbell, Willow, and Walnut, the household was rather chaotic during his youth, full of rampant play and joy.

Unfortunately, due to an unknown illness, the little family soon found themselves losing one member. Plagued by disease, Rei took his own life in December 2016, when it became apparent that he wasn't going to be getting much better. Having been sheltered from the worst of the damage the disease had done, Cia and his siblings simply learned that their dad was death, their memory of him preserved as they knew him - alive, happy and healthy. Of course, the changes in Alder were something to be noted, their father mourning the loss of his mate.

Attempting to make life easier on Alder, Cia found himself growing more concerned with the happiness of others, becoming independent and reliable, striving to do anything and everything he could to not rock the boat, to keep the family together and rebuild some semblance of normality in the absence of Rei.


Acacia is currently ranked as a Lord within Cour des Miracles, holder of the co-rank Ranger and aspiring towards the intel tier.

2.  Personality

Detesting anything he perceives as restrictions, Acacia strives to be as free as possible: from confines of ranks, pack, responsibilities, expectations and the opinions of others. Often finding himself unaware of his own motivations, he'll try to justify them with normalised and acceptable concepts – at the core however, much of what he does is so that he doesn't have to do anything. A life in which he can lazy around, doing nothing all day is his ideal (even if it isn't a realistic goal to work towards).

Sneaking off for naps, pretending to be busy to not get more work, generally coasting and doing the bare minimal, all the while conspiring to make his effort look like it's more than it is, Acacia goes above and beyond to reduce his work load. Of course, he does do some work.... just the things he likes. Like playing with weapons and building up his knowledge (in his areas of interest) and exploring neutral lands. They just aren't exactly... acceptable or productive. Whenever busted for trying to get away, or in cases of trying to get his way, Acacia is quick to widen his eyes, pout and smile, playing up his youthful looks in hope of charming others.

Perceptive for his age and with ignorance to bolster his confidence, Acacia is cocky and irrefutably arrogant at times, rarely heeding the warnings of his elders until he directly experiences that of which he was warned about. With a swagger in his step, he's quick to approach strangers to build up connections, desiring to arm himself with both knowledge and skills; showing a keen interest in combat fields, so that he can open up more opportunities to travel and gain greater independence.

Raised in a close knit family unit, Acacia places family above all else, even his own desires and aspirations. In turn, he also holds very little interest in outsiders of his family, disliking those of higher rank and possessing a general dislike of politics and leadership, for he doesn't like others defining him or what he should be doing.

4.  Skills

4.1  Abilities

Written and Spoken Content

  • Education and Learning: Initially instructed in this area by his family; in particular his father, Acacia had now taken it upon himself to expand his knowledge and capabilities within these fields. For language skills, he was taught by his now deceased father Rei, learning low speech from interacting extensively with the families two cats.
  • Reading and Writing (Apprentice): Having began learning to read and later write upon shifting, Acacia is adept in English and can read and write basic literature competently, with a reasonable grasp of word variation and a fundamental grasp on grammar.
  • Additional Languages (Dabbler): Acacia has some knowledge of spoken Japanese and a very vague understanding of feline low speech.
  • Body Language (Journeyman): From his time spent trading, Trident has learned to read body language, best picking up ques from visual aspects such as another's posture and their gestures; i.e with hands and arms.
  • Acacia is slow to both read and write, becoming a bit of a perfectionist with both, ensuring that he's read the sentence correctly and that his handwriting is the best it can be within his ability.
  • Much of his Japanese is incorrectly pronounced or misused, since he never really applied himself or tried to learn what Rei taught him.
  • Overall Acacia is less adept at reading vocal cues from speech, tone of voice, etc and can often overlook such cues, resulting him misreading an individual.
