Scratch is a frankly horrid brown tom, covered in scars. He hates most other cats, and if you enter his territory, he will likely attack you immediately(unless your cat is easily manipulated, in which case he will use them). He values strength, and weakness is intolerable.

Rip is his daughter. She is a bit more complicated. She was born to Scratch and his mate. She was picked from the beginning to be the strongest of the kits, and trained from an early age. Finally, she killed all of her siblings on her father's orders, causing her mother to leave. She was a ruthless killer for a long time, until she met Coal. She became softer, until her father found out.

Coal is a fluffy black kittypet who charmed Rip. For the first time in her life, she felt real love, and warmth. But when Scratch found out he kidnapped him, and is holding him as leverage for Rip's cooperation. She must do as he says, or he will kill Coal. He desperately wants to go back do his kittypet life, and is even beginning to dislike Rip for getting him into this. He isn't fed very well, and he has no fighting skills whatsoever, so he can't do anything to escape.

Their territory is a stretch of woods, with a small stream running through it. With a small hill in the center, they can see their entire territory, and control everything around. Anyone who enters un-invited will be attacked or manipulated into doing their bidding. Their dens are in the hill, and one is walled up as a prison of some sort.
