Appearance:
Falena is a beautiful and quite colourful Amur leopardess with distinct rosy maple moth features, like the typical pretty wings, colour palette, antennas and neck fluff. Her main fur colours are different shades of yellow and pink which form gorgeous patterns on her soft and very fluffy fur. There are also some white parts which can be found on her face, shoulders, belly, legs, paws and tail. On her belly, back and face she is covered with pretty Amur leopard-like mostly pink and black spots, also, some faded yellow spots of the same kind can be found on her hind legs. Some simple black spots are scattered randomly on her whole body. Falena's yellow neck fluff is the fluffiest part of her body and feels extremely soft to the touch. A larger part of her tail is covered with three black stripes, with a pink and a yellow stripe between each black stripe. Her tail tip is white. The front of her ears are black, their back white with some light pink colours and the inside of her ears is in an even lighter pink. She has cute moth-like orange antennas, which are very fluffy. She has heterochromia, her left eye is yellow and her right one pink. She has big black eyelashes, thin white whiskers and a cute small pink nose. Her paw pads (beans) are light pink

Abilities:
Thanks to her beautiful moth-like wings Falena is able to fly, and that pretty high and far. She struggles to fly in the rain though, since her wings must not get too wet
Falena can produce and emit light form her whole body as she wishes. That way she can lighten up the night in her fur colours. The way she glows is particularly strong and bright. Unlike other creatures, the glowing requires almost no energy and she has the ability to vary the intensity of her glowing from a dimmed one to a dazzling bright one. Even the highest degree consumes only a small amount of energy
She is able to track down and even communicate with other moths, moth-like beings or caterpillars using her cute antennae
She is an excellent tree climber and can even scale the most challenging trees
Falena is an extremely caring and gentle creature, who lovingly takes care of other beings, whether big or small
She has the ability of speech and she speaks and understands many different human languages of our world. Of course she is able to interact with her fellow species and other animals and creatures. She can even translate to a certain extent
She has an amazing night vision and can see extremely well in the dark. She cannot see through the dark in the Land of Eternal Darkness though. She can also see almost all existing colours
Weaknesses:
As already mentioned, Falena has a hard time flying while being exposed to rain or water in general due to her wings getting wet
She is generally considered to be rather hydrophobic and cannot swim. Therefore, she prefers to stay away from large bodies of water
Due to her very caring and gentle nature, she often prioritizes the needs of other beings over her own, and it saddens her greatly when she cannot attend to everyone simultaneously, which unfortunately happens quite often
She is quite eccentric, for example, she loves collecting leaves (especially maple leaves) for hours, something that seems odd to some other beings. While she stands by her peculiar passions, questioning looks or critical comments can still unsettle her. Additionally, she is quite sensitive and can be hurt rather quickly

Further Information:
She has an entirely vegetarian diet, even though she is partly an Amur leopardess. Her favourite foods are vegetables, fruits and nuts
She was born in the Land of Eternal Night a gorgeous land which is full of colourful and glowing plants and creatures. As the name implies, the land is in a state of eternal night. It is a very soothing and peaceful land. Falena has moved to the Land of Eternal Dusk because of the particularly large and beautiful maple trees that grow there. There, on a wonderful autumn day in the forest, she met her current boyfriend Schimmer, who was taking a relaxing stroll through the woods. It was love at first sight, and shortly after, they became a couple. They are very in love witch each other and inseparable. But not only that, in this land, she also met her dear companion Caty and many other now close friends
She and every here presented Land of Eternal Dusk resident are good friends. She is very in love with her boyfriend Schimmer and vice versa. Furthermore, she is especially close to Halley, whom she even refer to as her aunt and Luminos, who is like a grandfather to her, even though all of them are not related by blood
