Profile of Rochadh: Details
Appearance
He takes after his mother, sharing her golden fur, ivory underside and black markings. He earned his nickname not only because of his lean physique and long legs (making him as graceful as an antelope) but because he resembles a black-faced impala. In lieu of the family's traditional dorsal stripe, he sports black toes and distinct coal smudges on his muzzle, forehead, cheeks and ears. These are highlighted by subtle white accents. He has dark gray eyes.
Human Model: Xavier Samuel
Personality
Although he grew up surrounded by a loud and largely loving family, he turned out fairly reserved. He doesn't speak much, though when he does, he's quite elegant with his words. He's very observant and highly intelligent. Unlike his mother, he doesn't wear his heart on his sleeve. In fact, he's unflappable and rarely shows emotion. He spends much of his time on his own, sharpening his hunting skills and entertaining a dream about becoming an assassin for hire. Because of his upbringing and his mother's open distaste for him (and all men), he has trouble trusting women and when he fantasizes, his victims are always female.
Biography
After his sisters died, his mother took her single surviving pup to live with her family. He grew up as part of the enormous Blackthorn Clan, raised primarily by his grandparents rather than his mother, who he sees more like a (mean) older sister. He was always particularly close to his grandfather and grew into a well-adjusted yearling beneath Cathal's tutelage. But as he neared his first birthday, Impala decided to go on an expedition in the hopes of finding his biological father. He promised to return by the end of summer, whether or not he found him.

Side note: his birth name, Rochadh, means "battle," in honor of his grandfather, Cathal, whose name means "battle ruler." Turquoise gave each of her children a name beginning with "R" in honor of "the one that got away": Rivet.
