Appearance: Elena is a little thing, barely 5'2" and a testament to her Portuguese heritage. Dark hair that hangs to her waist, brown eyes with a ring of kitty cat green/gold when upset, she moves with a sensual swing to her hips, and prefers only the best if she can afford it, which means not often, but her knock-offs are to die for. As it is on a day to day, she prefers floaty clothes, looking like a gypsy most of the time, but a stylish one.



Personality: Elena is sweet and friendly, and totally focused on her work most of the time. She is one of those people who is annoyingly upbeat most of the time, with a bright smile and eyes that welcome anyone to sit and talk, or just keep her company. But when she is working, the eyes see things that so many don't, and it gives her a keen insight into others. Combine that with her way of saying what is on her mind and the senses of a cat, her well meaning remarks and meddling often hit right to the heart of the problem, which can be disconcerting to some. Driven when working on a project or in the middle of a show, she will often just ignore summons and pard issues, so focused on her art that it never occurs that there will be consequences to her actions. Considering her childhood, while she doesn't not imbibe, she frowns on drinking to excess, and will not deal with those who do, pard or not. She is fiercely independent, but also protective of the pard and will rise to their defense at a moments notice.

Sexual Likes: Anything.. anything means anything
Sexual Dislikes: Lies and gratuitous sex...everything should be enjoyed.
Sexual Strengths: will try anything with the man she trusts
Sexual Weaknesses:  a gentle touch and just the sight of the male body drives her to distraction

Merits: Sweet nature, thinks the best of most people, quick to defend her friends.
Flaws: Says what comes to mind no matter what the consequences, fierce temper. Elena can also be stubborn and defiant if she thinks she is in the right, even to the point of endangering herself and others.



History:  Elena was one of those only children who made friends quickly, always shared her toys and gave things away if a friend said they liked it. She was just that sweet. The apple of her parents eye, both hardworking white collar types, she was spoiled, but it didn't really affect her much like it would have other children.

After an idyllic child hood, her father got transferred to Boston and things got harder. Her father worked long hours and was home very little. Her mom, without a job, struggled with being at home all the time, and threw her energy into taking her daughter all over Massachusetts every park, every Museum, anything to keep her inquisitive child from noticing her slow descent into alcoholism until one night, on a long drive home from a weekend retreat in the mountains, her mother's alcohol consumption caused an accident that took her life, and sent 17 year old Elena on a hike thru the woods. With a full moon high in the sky, the young girl was attacked and barely survived. When found the next day, she was bloody and near death.

She survived, but at what cost? Her father seemed to drift even further away as she healed, and the poor girl was left to struggle with grief till the next full moon, when alone and terrified she shifted into the animal that attacked her and as a cat tore thru the sleepy neighborhood into the surrounding wilderness. It wasn't until the next day that she woke up naked and wandering aimlessly that she realized something had happened, dazed until the police picked her up and brought her home, convinced she had been on a drugged out bender. Her father though, seeing the condition of her room and her state when she got home knew what had happened, and for the first time he really sat down with his daughter.

After some research, he found the Nimir-Raj, and with his daughter in tow...they found a way to help the small girl become a member of the pard as much as she could. She matured, went to the Massachusetts College of Art and Design to study Photography, and immersed herself in it, having an eye and a talent for it all. One local gallery owner, a leopard himself helped her by giving her her first show, and from there it just took off. Soon, she was getting requests for custom work, everything from small pieces to works that spanned walls of space. Now she lives in a converted warehouse and works in an attached studio.She moved to Hawaii after three years of work and acclaim, wanting something different and took to the lush wildness of the islands like a fish to water. The small group of leopards that lived locally on four of the Hawaiian Islands were looking for guidance and a strong leader. Elena was it...stronger than any of them, and stronger than she even knew, stronger than anyone had even expected. So she became Nimir-Ra reluctantly but is now devoted to her small pard, her own wants and desires sometimes shoved on a back burner. Her photos and images are bringing accolades still, as her home is rich with beauty. If you run into her on the street, she normally has a camera in hand, giving the world her own unique view.
