House: Mycelia
Ilana is a founder of Cobbled Arch, and a pretty not-cat with a can-do attitude. Ilana is proud of aer own beauty, but is by no means spoilt; ae is vain, yes, but being coated in muck will not stop aer from bringing down a beast twice aer size. Hunting is Ilana's forte, but ae has little interest in adventuring. Ae knows where ae belongs, and it's in a town or out hunting at its outskirts, not on some quest. Ilana is kind, but less in a polite manner and more in the way of 'here, idiot, I made you some soup'. Sarcastic but not abrasive, and surprisingly willing to tone aerself down if someone really can't stand aer.
Ilana is very determined to ensure that every not-cat ae cares about is provided for. Social, protective, and appreciates a good challenge. Imperious, too, and makes sure everyone knows it by keeping aer crown of crimson blossoms and volcanic stone in impeccable condition. The beauty of Cobbled Arch.
Relationships
MAJOR RELATIONSHIPS: 
Viney ✦ partner ✦
Ilana and Viney are both abrasive, but thick-skinned enough to take each other's prickliness in stride; beyond that, they take a sort of solace in 'being loners together'. It's Ilana's personal mission to ensure all of aer neighbors' safety, and while Viney is determined to keep their residence in the middle of the woods, they've resigned themselves to Ilana being protective over them- they're both stubborn, but Ilana is more stubborn. Their relationship eventually evolved into one with more substance, and instead of continuing to insist they're 'not friends' they just put their energy into enjoying their time together.
Ilana thoroughly enjoys Viney's company, finding them to be witty and pretty street-smart for a young cat; Viney envies Ilana's intimidating, almost regal image and simply admires aer in general. The two of them spend quite a bit of time hanging out at Viney's garden, and at this point, Ilana looking out for Viney's safety is almost just an excuse to spend time with them.
MINOR RELATIONSHIPS: 
Klein ✦ friend ✦ Bold, sensible and more caring than they first let on, Klein and Ilana have a good deal in common. They each make the point of being able to keep up with the other in productivity and skill. Ilana is the bossier of the two, but Klein takes aer tendency of ordering xem around well- both because xe trusts Ilana and because xe knows not to take aer too seriously (or not seriously enough). They're a very active pair, and their idea of fun is more competitive (and productive) than that of their neighbors.
