FUNCTION: Warrior/Frontliner
FAMILY: All Deceased
SEXUALITY: Bisexual

SPARKLINGS/YOUNGLINGS: None
APPEARANCE: She is a tall, massively-built, and broad-shouldered warrior. She has a cat-shaped body with tail, ears, muzzle, and deep green eyes of a cat even. A set of massive silver smokestacks is set between her shoulder blades. A set of massive dragon-like wings sit on her back, each being 34 feet long and 68 feet long from wing-tip-to-wing-tip. She has three heavy duty layers of armor. The third layer, however, has the ability to bristle up into slim, razor-sharp pieces of metal, acting as a defense as well as showing her emotions.
VEHICLE MODE: Her alt form is that of a 1997 extended-cab, Ram Dodge duallie. It is the color of the blackest night with a full front-end replacement brush-guard was put on for better ramming and bashing capabilities. A massive V12 engine sits under the hood of her truck form. A Decepticon symbol is just barely visible on the roof of her cab, tucked in the corner where the windshield meets the roof.
WEAPONS/ABILITIES: She has a wicked pair of sharp, one-handed maces, as well as a set of single-edged, one-handed swords. Several cannons are located in her hips and shoulders. Her favorite weapons of choice are her razor-sharp fangs and claws. Her claws are serrated on the undersides for ripping and shredding purposes. Her wings act as shields or battering weapons when necessary.
PERSONALITY: She is a tough and efficient fighter, unafraid to rush headlong into battle with teeth bared. Her loyalty is firm and she sees no reason to be dishonest about how she feels on anything. She turns savage and merciless the moment she is released onto the battlefield, her own faction barely escaping her wrath if they don't move fast enough when she goes in. Very little compassion resides in her spark anymore, and even when it does show, it's to kill a long-tortured victim.
LIKES: She likes to fight, spill others' blood, smith and forge weapons, train, and scare others.
DISLIKES: She dislikes being caged in small room, whiny people, being grounded, Starscream, and having her weapons damaged.
STRENGTHS: Her strenght lies in her armor, fierce loyalty and experience in fighting.
WEAKNESSES: Her gladiator coding is her greatest downfall in the end alongside her love of sparklings and wanting a sparkmate.
HISTORY: Huntress is from an older line of fighters that originated in Kaon, known as the Tigris Line. She is the last of the Tigris Line, seeing as her family all went into the Gladiator Pits to help pay for the expenses of their gambling debts. Huntress herself was not a gambler but she was a mere youngling at the time when she was pulled in with her family. She was quickly separated from them and beaten. She quickly learned to fight, her survival instinct stronger than her family's. This set her up for several thousand years worth of constant bloodshed and fighting. As she grew older inside the Pits, her wisdom and survival instincts started honing to a sharp point, resulting in the activation of her Berserker coding. By this point, she had ended up reversing instinct-wise to develop the Feral Protocol, enabling a last-ditch effort of survival if needed, turning her into an intelligent animal essentially.
Huntress took up learning many different fighting styles within the Gladiator Pits. She fought underneath Megatron and Soundwave for a good number of years before being moved to another side of the Pits to conquer another set of fighters. Her skills continued to grow, as did the number of scars and dead fighters at her paws. She ended up going head to head with Megatron in the peak of his rule over the Pits, resulting in her nearly offlineing. She ended up with a large silvery scar that stretched from the left side of her throat, between her breast plating and over her abdominal armor, over her right hip and ending just above the base of her tail. She was out of the fights for a few months but she decided she would follow the mech that bested her in battle.
When Megatron started his speeches and left the Pits, Huntress fought harder and faster to follow behind her leader, her more curious side wanting to see what else he would do. She wasn't disappointed either when she earned her freedom by paying off her family's debt. She was one of the first several to join the Decepticon cause. She enjoyed the attacks he ordered, starting a rebellion in the lower parts of Cybertron. She became one his most fearsome frontliners for the war.
OTHER: She has the line of Berserker coding that most Pit-Fighters ended up with from being in the Kaonian Gladiator rings, alongside a line of rarely seen coding called the Feral Protocol. The Feral Protocol reverts her to a state of mind similar to a somewhat intelligent and highly hostile animal. She is an old seasoned warrior with little to no civil contact other than war. She yearns for peace after so many years of fighting and often contemplates leaving her faction.
