• The Cat's Fur (Appearance)

  She has light brown hair, but her hair style depends on her age group:
  
  - Around age 14, her hair is a long wavy ponytail with her bangs to her left side and curled slightly.
  - Around age 20, she has a shorter ponytail, her bangs still combed to her left, but slightly longer and more wavy.
  - And around age 28, she cuts most of her hair into an asymmetrical bob that leads to her left where she keeps her side fringe, her right side having a small side shave.
  
  Her eyes are a curious sage green, and in certain roleplays (Particularly fantasy settings), her pupils are sharper, resembling a cat's eye and her skin is a light beige color. Regarding outfit, it again depends on her age:
  
  - Around age 14, she wears a white long sleeve shirt with a pink silhouette of a cat fading into flower petals, a dark green skirt, a pair of light brown high tops, and a dark pink jacket wrapped around her waist.
  - Around age 20, she has hoodie that's a light pink with a mint pink hood and strings, accompanied with a white shirt underneath, a pair of light brown pants, dark pink sneakers, a white cat mouth mask, and a pair of electronic cat ears that floats above her head.
  - Around age 28, she wears a dark green turtleneck crop top, a dark pink coat hoodie, dark brown tights, black high top boots, a pair of black fingerless gloves, floating electronic cat ears, a black mouth mask that allows her to talk (Just think Akali's mask from KDA except more cute and cat like), and a long floating electronic tail.
  
  Outfits are easy to alternate, but color schemes and her interests in cats will always remain no matter what roleplay she's in.

• The Cat's Meow

  Hi there! I presume you already know my name, right? If you don't, just scroll up. I'm one of the new characters that the player wanted to use for roleplaying, and I just hope that I'll be here to stay for a while longer than the other two. They seem like good characters, but they eventually became irrelevant to the Player's interests. But I'm sure they'll be reused in the future! But enough about me, let's- (Nova: HOLD UP! NO WAY!) Wha-? (You're here now!?). For the love of... Nova, calm your tits! I'm not gonna be making moves on Kris! Especially not while you're around! (Doesn't stop me from being pissed!) Be pissed elsewhere then! I'm doing my bio! One second... (Kris: Hm? What do you... oh... hey Nova... Hey indeed. Um, sorry about Nova... Come on Nova, you can scream at me for now and scream at Ari later. Hmph!) .... I'm probably only slightly less confused on what just happened than you (The reader) probably are... I'll should probably fill you in later.
  
  So, my tagline "Curiosity and Eye of a Cat" is mainly because of how I was originally supposed to be a cat in the story I belong in. I'll probably have the ability to be a cat in certain roleplays though. The "Curiosity and Eye" part is just hinting at my very observant personality, which is the main trait my entire character technically evolves around. Regarding my "universe", I technically belong to one universe, but three timelines. This corresponds to the three different appearances I have. And since I doubt the Player will ever post my stories anytime soon, I may as well tell you guys about my stories.
  
  

  • Colorful Ink (Age 14): Colorful Ink includes me and a spiritual medium character known as Ava who are unraveling a series of paranormal mysteries in the town of whatever the hell the Player decides the town to be named and discovering the bigger threats that loom over the town.
  • You Are Where You Sleep (Age 20): You Are Where You Sleep was basically the story I was created in, and originally, I was just created for the Player to have a sort of persona when it comes to practicing environmental writing, . There's basically no story line to this story in particular. It was just meant for the Player to practice writing particularly bedroom designs and having the bedrooms reflect the characters in a way. If anything, it would of been better for it to be a small game where you learn more about characters through observing the different changes of the character's bedrooms. Trust me, it may be a bit more interesting than it sounds, to us at least.
  • Cat Eye (Age 28): Cat Eye is the futuristic story that involves me with brand new upgrades and pursuing my dreams of becoming a detective! Now if only the Player can start working on that story so there can be an established plot and things can start moving!

  
  Other than those things, I guess I should say more about myself. Perhaps I should clear a few things up. Let's start with Gender. Yes, I am non-binary, but I accept female pronouns. While I do prefer they/them, a certain someone just continuously forgets about that (^^;), so I let it slide at times. Not to mention I just look like a girl in general, so. Oh, and another major thing about myself. I'm mute. I primarily speak through sign language and instead of most of the other characters who get interviews, I have to type up my bio myself. Though 28 year old me does get a mask that allows her to speak, which is super cool! Oh, and regarding the whole Nova and Kris thing. Long story short, in the You Are Where You Sleep timeline, Kris and I got drunk (In this random universe we live in, the drinking age is 18, so it was legal for us to drink) and we "did the do". That was it. One single drunk fling before Kris and Nova even got together in that particular universe, and now Nova is in a weird "We're still friends, but I despise you" sort of relationship with me. Petty much.
  
  Now unlike Kris and Nova, I was not actually given any sort of magic ability because that wasn't what I was made for. I was made for a more sci-fi setting with small hints of paranormal activity. That's it. So my ability kit is mostly about the gadgets I have, and maybe one or two fantasy abilities.
  
  

  Abilities/Powers List:

  
  
  

  - Basic Power Set (Regardless of Genre) -

  
  - Fourth Wall Breaker: Yes, almost every character has this ability. Moving on.

  
  

  - Technology Kit -

  
  The technology kit refers to all of the gadgets present in my 20 year old and 28 year old versions. Keep in mind though, only my cat ears are present in 20 year old me.
  - Hyper-Sensory Cat Ears: My cat ears are actually an invention created by my father and I, though by the time I was 20, it was only in Beta testing. Originally, that was what was supposed to allow me to speak, but it ended up not working. And yet what it does do is allow me to hear better and heighten my vision through a screen that appears in front of my face. Other than that, it just floated over my head and followed me around. By the time I'm 28 though, it got a major upgrade. I could actually move the ears around, the screen is connected to the contacts I have in my eyes so the screen isn't visible, and I could easily organize information on the screen.
  - Thought-to-Speech Mask: Though I had a cat mask when I was 20, that basically did nothing other than make me look cuter. As of my 28 year old version, it was another invention made by my dad with some modifications that allowed me speech. Of course, it's not always the most reliable thing since I can also say things I don't mean to say really easily, so something I would just take it off and continue to use sign language.
  - Utility Tail: A small invention I made around age 28, a floating tail that followed me around. It's also like an extra arm that can grab onto things, as well as being a cooler version of Indiana Jones's whip. I can use it as a normal whip, make it extend longer than it already is to become Brigitte from Overwatch (But scarier), and I can use the whip as a grappling device to get me up to higher places, or to avoid falling to my death.
  

  
  

  - Fantasy -

  
  I'm not gonna be in that many fantasy stories since the Player can literally chose ANY of the other characters who are meant for fantasy hybrid roleplays. But, nevertheless, I have one or two fantasy abilities.
  - Feline Abilities: In that very distant fantasy world, I am either a meif'wa (Half cat, half human, but not a full anthro), I'm a cat that can do a certain amount of anthropomorphism (And yes, I'm still mute), I can be a human that can turn into said cat, or a combination of all of this. To be honest, I wouldn't mind being a cat for a day.
  

  
  
  Now for what's required on every profile, as well as being a pain to fill out, the 4 Mature Contents.
  
  

  4 Mature Topics (Explanation):

  
  The 4 Mature Topics, previously known as the 5 Mature Topics are basically just some more less mature themes that some people may or may not be comfortable with. And we're talking about the Topics other than the 3 official ones that are presented on the website. The 4 Mature Topics that are on every character bio includes a newer topic that we came up with:

  • Controversial Themes (C): This is... really vague. But... just think of topics or themes that would make a/your character uncomfortable/upset/triggered/offended/etc., and there you go, a controversial theme. For us, we just briefly look through the wondrous list provided by Wiki, look over mostly the different categories and question "Would they or would they not care about this?" But I guess we'll just briefly go over each category, unless they're already on the list (Like Language and Sexuality), or if they overlap with anything else.

  
  After that, we go over our sort of opinions on the other 3 official mature contents, which, if you don't already know, are Sexuality (S), Language (L), and Violence (V).
  

  
  
  

  I'll try to make it brief:

  • L: Now, unlike the potty mouth children that run around here, I'm less likely to curse, mostly because you can't really curse in sign language. But if I can, I will curse every so often. I also occasionally curse in my thoughts when I deem necessary. For example, if I'm upset, I will curse. But I can control myself if those who want to interact with me don't want me to use foul language.
  • S: I would prefer if you didn't do anything that falls into the lines of highly sexual interactions. I'm just not comfortable with it. Sorry. But for LGBT terms, my bio says I can be a Lesbian in certain roleplays.
  • V: Never been that comfortable with blood. So no to Violence as well.
  • C: Political problems are interesting to me (Though not to the Player, so don't expect me to bring up those kinds of topics). I am technically an atheist since I have yet to be assigned any sort of religion, so the religion talk would be advised to be kept at a minimum. I may be in a single fandom or two, but let's just keep it at that since my fandom doesn't really define me. I'm somewhat of a environmentalist, but I'm not at the extreme spectrum. And before you ask, Global Warming doesn't exist in my home universe. Regarding my own opinions on it, I will summarize it to "Stop arguing about if it does or does not exist and just do something about it." Yes, I am Japanese and do speak Japanese, though not completely fluently since I've grown up in a community that is predominantly speaks English, not to mention that the Player doesn't know Japanese, so please bare with the both of us using a Japanese translator. I'm not that interested in philosophy as Kris and the Player are, but hey, maybe you can convince me that it's as interesting as psychology. I'm actually not as obsessed as such entertainment or media fandoms as Kris and Nova are, so don't expect me to fangirl at whatever fandom you're into. Oh, and please keep me out of whatever fandom/media ship wars you are a part of. If you do dare to drag me in, I will give you an entire analysis essay about why your ship sucks, why the ship you hate is possible, or take the ship you like and explain how other ships are better than your ship all for the purpose of pissing you off and as a way of saying "Keep me out of this next time".

  
  
  This bio took much longer than I had expected. But it's done. Now, I hope to have a talk with you so we can perhaps roleplay together. Please do consider since I doubt I'll be available for long. And this is just taking into consideration that the story I'm a part of is getting further buried down into the hole of untouched and unfinished stories.
