Pumyra (2011 TV series)

For the 80's incarnation look here.

Template:Character

Pumyra is a Cat who was forced to fight as a gladiatrix in the City of Dogs after ending up their slave. It seems that she was a healer of some sort before Thundera fell, as she seems to have medical knowledge.

History

During the fall of Thundera, Pumyra fought against the Lizards before being crushed by falling rubble. Enduring up until dawn, Pumyra saw Lion-O leaving to hunt down with Tygra and Cheetara, the three unable to hear her pleas for help as she dies hopeless and alone. However, believing the royals left her to die and their people to suffer, Pumyra's spirit became full of rage and could not pass on due to her newfound hatred towards the Thunderian royals. This in turn attracts Mumm-Ra's attention, using his power to resurrect her as his spy to keep tabs on the Thundercats' movement.

For the scheme to work as she was placed among the other Thunderian slaves in the Ratar-O's possession, Pumyra was arranged to be sold to Dobo to fight in the pit as a gladiatrix prior to the Thundercats arriving to the Dog City. When Lion-O's attempt to save her resorts with him being forced to fight her in the Pit for the Dogs' entertainment, beating him to an inch of his life, Pumyra resisted the urge to kill Lion-O as Dobo grants them their freedom. From there, Pumyra led the adult Thundercats to Mount Plun-Darr where Ratar-O is using the slaves to excavate the Sword of Plun-Darr.

During the raid with him and Panthro, Pumyra attempts to win her way to Lion-O's heart while he stopped her from murdering Mordax and later saving her after Mumm-Ra regained the Sword of Plun-Darr. But once on Avista, Pumyra's true colors begin to show as she attempted to take the Tech Stone despite learning that it keeps the city afloat. After Mumm-Ra arrives to claim it, Pumyra reveals her true loyalties as she gives Mumm-Ra the Tech Stone before they make their escape from the descending Avista after being out numbered by the reinforcements Wilykat and Wilykit brought with them.

Personality

Since her death, Pumyra seems to be an angry, ill-tempered Cat. Otherwise, she shown to be strong-willed, independent person regardless of the situation. In spite of her harsh exterior she does have a softer side, seen when nearly breaking down in tears while describing the suffering of the Thunderian slaves or when she tenderly helped a baby winged frog that had fallen out of its nest.

A new side of her was shown recently that signifies that she only cares about her species and not the other animals, a disposition held by Cats for a long time. She was willing to sacrifice the city of Birds, Avista, by taking the Tech Stone and knowing if removed Avista would fall from the sky and be destroyed.

Appearance

• She has amber eyes and brown hair with white highlights reaching her upper back. It is tied in a ponytail with strands framing both sides of her face. She is more slender yet curvy and athletic in build than her 80´s incarnation.

• She wears a dark brown dress with golden manacles and a garter on her right thigh. Her necklace has a small black stone bound by a red chord and a bag on her hip stores the ammo for her wrist bow. Unlike the other cats who wear spat-like coverings on their feet that expose their heels and toes, she is always barefoot.

Weapon(s)

Pumyra uses a wrist-mounted crossbow in battle and she is shown to be skilled enough to defeat a Gormax, who was able to defeat three dog gladiators with relative ease. She also carries bolas that she can throw as a snare that store on a garter on her left hip. In "Curse of Ratilla" she also carries a knife.

Relationships

Lion-O: Ultimately, Pumyra held little regard for Lion-O, blaming him and his absence for both leaving her to die and the fate of the Thunderian race in enslavement. This hatred and rage manifested in a near homicidal desire for vengeance against him as she nearly took his life after severely beating him in The Pit. But both her agenda, and witnessing the lengths Lion-O was willing to go to in order to prove his loyalty to her and their people, allowed to her to stayed her hand in killing him and cooperating to an extent.
