Physical Description:
Catty, despite being an anthropomorphic cat, actually enjoys keeping herself relatively covered. She wears simple outfits that do not normally hide too much of her body, but they shield enough of her so that she is not caught in public without looking somewhat decent. She cares about her appearance, so she tries to keep herself clean and dressed enough to not be judged by others. Most of the time, Catty can be found wearing a black crop top with only one shoulder strap on her left side. Its thickness is about the size of two human fingers put together, and the top fits a bit loosely on her to allow for better movement. It also sports a bright, silver, glittered diamond with another equally glittery outline around it. Most of her shirts look similar to this one, including the small decoration on the back. The girl who came across her as a kitten made all of them for her when she realized Catty enjoyed the symbol stamped to the young girl's wall. From that day on, the symbol remained.
Her shorts are made of a soft fabric. It is very similar to, if not exactly the same as, the fabric used for her black shirt. The shorts are very short since they essentially only cover what they need to, and they contain a small hole cut out in the back for her tail to go through. Catty prefers not to feel restricted, so all of her clothes are made this way. This is to allow her complex, cat-like motions to be as fluid as possible. The black shorts also have bright blue filigree patterns covering all sides of them. This is a decoration Catty made for herself since she favors that color. Aside from the shirt and shorts, though, Catty does not tend to wear much else. Her animalistic thoughts never typically allow her to think of them as necessary, so she simply wears them out of preference. Each pair of shorts that she owns contains the same filigree pattern in the same blue color. Even if the clothes are different colors, this pattern and the glitter diamond on her back remain the same.
Since she is a cat, Catty does not see a reason to wear any pairs of shoes. Her feet remain bare to show off her claws. The tips of her paws are sharp from the nails while the fur on the toes are a soft, light blue. The color resembles a robin's egg with a bit more pastel mixed in. This color fades into the black that the rest of her fur is colored, but she does have some minor blue patterns traced along her body. Starting from her legs, everything is a normal black until her thighs. At that point, the fur becomes significantly longer and is bright blue in color. Small spots can be seen just above her knees, and they are the same blue color as the longer furs. The spotted pattern fading into the bright blue fur resembles somewhat of an open flame, but it is burning so intensely that it retained its blue shade. From there, two small musical designs are framing her hip bones. They also match the same blue and usually poke out above her shorts, similar to how the longer blue fur seems to hide the bottom hems of her shorts.
Beneath her breasts, right in the middle, is a small outline of a diamond that is almost the same as the one on the back of all of her shirts. The difference is that this one is simply just a bright blue outline without the other diamond within it. It's small, being only an inch long, and is usually hidden by her tops. On occasion, depending on how she is moving, she may flash some people with that small blue diamond. Thankfully, with how her shirts are made, she will not flash people with anything else. It fits loosely enough to just show that detail on her body. Around her neck is also a small tuft of fur that gradually becomes more blue as the fur grows out. Only the tips of them change color, but the rest of it remains black. Her upper arms also have the musical-like patterns to match the ones that appear on her hips, and the fingers of her hand-like paws get lighter in color to match her toes. Her claws on her hands are also very sharp to match the ones she has on her feet.
Catty's face is still very kitten-like despite her age. Because of her small body, her face has remained youthful. Her little nose is also bright blue to match the rest of the designs on her body, and scar-like marks under her eyes are the same way. They are not truly scars, but are actually just patterns appearing on her fur. Her whiskers are black and fairly medium in length, twitching every so often when she sniffs around to assess her surroundings. She has two sets of particularly sharp fangs with one pair being on the top of her mouth and the other being on the bottom. The rest of her teeth are fairly normal in appearance to that of a normal cat's. She does have hair, though, and it is a glittering silver similar to that of the pattern on her clothing. The hair is fairly long, coming down to the middle of her back. Catty's eyes are also a piercing, icy blue around her dark slitted pupils. They seem to glow when light is reflected off of them, shining their beautiful sapphire color. The ears on top of her head are also pretty large. On the outside of each one, the fur is completely black. On the inside, however, the blue fur shows itself again in small tufts.
Surprisingly, some features on her overall appearance are still more human than not. For example, she has beautifully long eyelashes that are full and black in color. To any normal person, they may assume she was wearing false lashes or something like that. She is not, though, and it is something she's proud of. Being a feline, she takes amazingly good care of herself in terms of grooming. Whens she finds that something looks good on her or gets messed up, she does her best to keep it in top shape or fix it until it's pristine. She does not normally intend for herself to come off as snooty or anything, but it is simply in her nature to make sure she looks clean at all times. She guessed that was what came with being a cat. Regardless, she was thankful for still looking feminine despite being an animal.
When she gets scared or startled, however, she tends to puff up. All of her fur stands on end and makes her look incredibly fluffy, but it is not something she enjoys. Calming down from that kind of thing takes time, and it forces her to groom herself again. Since it is just a reaction that happens naturally, it is hard for her to control. It also means everyone automatically knows when she has been spooked, and she will generally turn around and show her claws. Though reluctant to attack, she would not be against it. Over time, she is able to smooth out her fur again and get her bearings together. This does not mean she is any less embarrassed, but she recognizes that her appearance is fixed and she can go back to acting normal. Because of this, Catty tries to listen for other people frequently.
The girl's tail is also quite long and extremely fluffy. It is composed of mostly black fur to match the rest of her body, but the stripes are the same brilliant silver as the hair atop her head. The tail, itself, is as long as she is tall. She takes pride in how dense the fur is on her tail and frequently grooms it during her free time, so it always appears clean. Catty's body is also very petite since her overall size is small. Her breasts are a 26B-cup, but her waist comes in to 16 inches. Catty's hips are about the same width, perhaps only slightly wider, than her upper torso. The rest of her body is also generally thin. This is so she has an easier time maneuvering when she needs to and has less of a problem grooming. Since she is a cat, grooming tends to happen after battles when she has been roughed up a bit. Even though her appearance seems pretty mysterious, Catty is generally an easy-going kitty.◈ [smear:00D1FF]P E R S O N A L I T Y[/smear:9300FF] ◈
Dislikes:
✖ - Surprises - Catty doesn't like being startled because it makes her fur puff up. It takes her a long time to groom that back down, so she prefers for it to not happen in the first place.
✖ - Extremely Hot Climates - Since she is covered from head to claw in fur, Catty hates the heat. She can handle it as well as anyone else, but it makes her pant and drives her nuts.
✖ - Hunting - Believe it or not, hunting is something she cannot stand. She loves being indoors unless she's near a body of water of some kind, and the woods make her feel gross.
✖ - Garbage - She has never had to go through garbage to find food, thankfully, but it is something she never wants to try. Nothing sounds worse than dumpster diving.
✖ - Yelling - Stemming from her human years, Catty hates yelling. It makes her less likely to listen to people if they yell.
✖ - Restrictive Clothing - Since she is very flexible, being a feline, she does not like clothes that restrict her movement. She would rather tear them up and make them cover less of herself.
✖ - Pollen - Though not allergic, she hates that it gets everywhere. Pollen can be very hard to clean off, making it something Catty avoids.
✖ - Water - While she knows how to swim, being in water means she has to make sure she's groomed again once she is out of it. She does not mind the feeling of water on her fur, but hates the maintenance.
✖ - Reading - She can read, and she is very good at it despite being part of the Beast Clan. She just does not like how long it takes and prefers television.
✖ - Cat Food - Catty does not enjoy generic cat food. It does not taste bad, but she feels like she is reverting back to nothing more than a pet when she eats it.
✖ - Rudeness - She cannot stand when anyone is rude to her. She will immediately retort with something sarcastic.
✖ - Arrogance - Catty thinks everyone can get along if they just try, but some people like to brag too much about themselves. She finds this behavior unattractive.
✖ - Simple Minds - This cat is a complex thinker. It comes from her days as a human and she always held on to the quality. Simple-minded people can seriously be a waste. She likes seeing progress.
✖ - Lying - She can hear when people lie due to her high Senses as an animal and can tell when people lie to her. She does not understand why telling the truth is so hard.
✖ - False Accusations - Do not ever accuse Catty of something she did not do. She will go out of her way to prove her innocence and make her accuser's life miserable.
✖ - Birds - She hates them! They poop everywhere and cannot even understand simple words.
✖ - Dull Claws - She will frequently sharpen her claws on some wood or a chair or something to keep them sharp and useful. She thinks dull claws are a waste of good weapons.
✖ - Silly Haircuts - Catty would like to keep her fur the way it is and does not appreciate random haircuts that human owners seem to give their pets.
✖ - Wild Animals - As strange as it may sound, she finds them barbaric. Even if she is an animal, she prefers to be as human as possible.
✖ - Stray Hairs - Maybe it is a bit of a compulsion, but Catty has to immediately fix stray hairs. She understands they may get messed up from time to time, but when one just grows in a weird direction from the rest, she cannot stand it.
✖ - Being Ignored - She craves attention. If people ignore her when she is trying to get something from them, it makes her irritated.
✖ - Tail Injury - Her tail is sensitive, but it is also very long. Occasionally, someone may step on it or something. That causes her pain, so she does her best to avoid it.
✖ - Yarn Balls - Curse those things. They are so irresistible and she hates it. Catty finds it almost impossible to leave those things alone.
✖ - Being Tired - This kitty naps a lot. She enjoys sleeping and hates the feeling of her eyelids getting heavy from exhaustion.

Flaws:
❖ - Overly Cautious - Since she does not like to get spooked, Catty tends to watch out for her surroundings very often. She will not tolerate surprises well.
❖ - Perfectionist - This goes along with her need to constantly groom. It is just something cats tend to do, but she keeps it under control for the most part.
❖ - Sarcastic - She is incredibly sarcastic all the time. It is probably her primary language. She means no harm by it, but that is how she talks.
❖ - Rude - Catty does not always know when she is hurting people's feelings, so she tends to come off as rude.
❖ - Shy - It is hard for her to meet new people because she does not want to be judged for her appearance, so she tends to hide at first.
❖ - Shedding - Being a fluffy animal is hard in the warmer months. Catty experiences excessive shedding around that time and cannot control it.
❖ - Distracted Easily - Shiny things or anything remotely playful distracts her. She can focus when she needs to, but she gets a strong feeling to go play with or inspect whatever it is.
❖ - Doesn't Listen - Cats do not typically listen very well anyway. She can pay attention if she wants to, but if something is boring, she hates it.
❖ - Lazy - Catty enjoys being lazy and lounging around. She likes physical activity, but between the two options, she'd choose this one.
❖ - Sensitive - She gets her feelings hurt pretty easily since she hates the idea of people judging her. Catty tries her best to fix this, though.
❖ - Vocal - She yowls when she wants something. She was even vocal and liked to talk as a human, so she assumed that was why.
❖ - Quick to Judge - Despite her own concerns, she is actually fairly opinionated. She frequently changes her mind based on experience, but she believes her first impression until proven otherwise.
Habits:
→ - Kneading - Happy kitties knead, or "make biscuits," when they're feeling calm. Catty is no different and will do this immediately if she deems it appropriate.
→ - Purring - When Catty is feeling anything positive, a soft purr will emit from her. It is never very loud, but it's definitely audible.
→ - Play in Boxes - Boxes are exciting! They are something to explore because she never knows what she'll find.
→ - Wander Off - Because she likes to explore, Catty has a tendency to wander off. She can always find her way home, so nothing can stop her.
→ - Joke Around - Paired along with her sarcasm, Catty can be quite the funny little kitten. She loves making jokes and playing pranks on others.
→ - Zoomies - When she has a little too much extra energy, this cat gets something called "zoomies," or "cat crazies." She runs around aimlessly until she gets tired.
→ - Climbing - She enjoys being up in high places, so climbing is naturally relaxing for her. She'll do it any chance she gets, and it usually leads to a nap.
→ - Stomping - If she wants someone's attention, especially if they're sleeping, Catty stomps on them. How else are they supposed to wake up?
Fears:
→ - Not Making Friends - She's social despite her shy demeanor. Catty loves people even if she's cautious of them and wants nothing more than to make friends. She's worried they may hate her.
→ - Judgment - Catty does not like being judged based on who or what she is. Not everyone has a negative reaction to her, but enough have. She hates it.
→ - No Home - Being homeless is not an option. She had a wonderful life as a human, and now she is trying to fend for herself again. She needs to be able to live somewhere and take care of herself.
→ - Large Dogs - They tend to chase her a lot for some reason. Is that what normal cats have to deal with?
→ - Being Alone - She craves connections and relationships. She is looking for her "person" and hopes to find them, but until then, she could never stand being alone for too long. She avoids it.
Goals:
Catty wants nothing more than to find her person. She knows they're out there somewhere, and she's determined to look for them. She wants to be accepted into one of these packs that she's heard so much about, as well, since she learned they're made up of creatures like her. She has vague memories of her human years and knows her family is out there somewhere, but she isn't sure where to look. It has been hard, but she is doing her best to make it work. Other than that, she wants to live an eventful life and keep herself entertained for the rest of her seemingly immortal life. She never expected things to go the way they did when she was a human, and she wants to know what she has become after her death. All she hears are rumors, and she was never taught much about it. This gives her the chance to head out on her own and discover things for herself.
Alignment: Chaotic Good
Overall Personality:
Catty is extremely adventurous. She loves going outside and exploring the world around her so long as it does not involve bugs or woods or anything like that. She much prefers the water and is more than willing to have fun in it, but she does not like the upkeep her fur requires afterwards. Despite that, she is also very well-behaved and willing to cooperate. She has gone on many fun trips of her own to see what the Soul Society was like in her free time and she is looking forward to learning more about it. Even though she feels like her time in that world was short, she appreciates being able to travel back and forth through communications with Rae. This gives her an opportunity to learn about the human world and allow her memories to flow back to her rather than stay locked up outside the Seireitei. It gives her a bit of a distraction, as well, while she searches for her family. The mystery surrounding all of these worlds is alluring, and she takes full advantage of her interests.
She is also very curious. Many things seem to attract her and almost nothing is boring, though she tends to find herself more involved in active things. She is always up to the challenge of learning whatever she needs to, but this can sometimes lead to her downfall. Her curiosity occasionally throws her down a dangerous path because she loves to figure things out on her own, so she has to actively talk herself down if she ever finds herself in that type of a situation. Catty is normally able to determine what would be safe and what would not, but that does not mean she is always smart about it. Frequently, she allows her curiosity to "kill the cat," as they say, simply because she cannot resist a good investigation. Using her animal instincts, she tries to find a way to sniff out the problem and solve it any way that she can. She prides herself in being able to solve the mystery and allows her desire to learn to take over. Even if she does not understand something, she will do everything in her power to figure it out.
"Determined" is another word that describes this feline. She hates to let anything get the best of her and enjoys taking on a new challenge. Knowing that she has a chance of completing any task is enough to motivate her. This can sometimes be bad since it means she takes things too far in the pursuit of completion, but that never matters to her. She is willing to risk time and do her best to finish whatever it is she decided to do and always holds up to her promises. She knows she has goals in life and, though she frequently has to remind herself of them, she is able to consistently strive for better things in life. Her determination may be seen as admirable by a few individuals if they ever got to know her since she can appreciate the effort it takes to remain this way. Not everyone is able to hold their own depending on the situation, but Catty refuses to fall into the same category. Knowing she can get something done and do it well always takes a priority, so if she's assigned some form of job or duty, she will always get it done.
Catty also has a tendency to be relatively sarcastic. She hardly differs from average cats this way. As they seem to have an attitude about everything, so does she! In fact, she loves nothing more than to make a joke at someone else's expense. Even then, her sarcasm typically revolves around side comments that she does not always want other people to hear, and she tries to keep her voice down when she makes them. This does not mean she is afraid to speak openly. If she knows it will get a laugh, Catty enjoys making her comment out loud for others to hear. She is driven by praise and this behavior is no different. The laughter is a form os positive reinforcement that allows her to continue on with her joke, but she will stop if someone displays obvious dislike for what she says. The only time she does not take the feelings of others into consideration is if she does not like them. That is the main reason why she would actively say hurtful things to make them upset.
Because she is a cat, that means a lot of her behaviors are similar to one. Catty loves everything fun and goes out of her way to enjoy life to its fullest. She will always have a smile on her face when she is doing something she loves and enjoys running around to do it. Catty is also significantly more motivated to get things done so long as it is fun or interests her. The last thing she wants is to experience anything particularly boring because that just means it will get dragged out. She has a problem with procrastinating if she fails to find an interest in whatever she is doing, so it is always a game to her. Even if the specific thing is not a game originally, she tries to find ways to make it one. This gives her more of an opportunity to bring out the best in the situation and herself. It allows her to give herself an opportunity to grow and to make what she is doing meaningful. On top of that, Catty will typically always be the first one to volunteer for something so long as it sounds fun or daring. She can be compared to a bit of an adrenaline junkie.
This may possibly be the most obvious personality trait. Catty is extremely feline in nature. Most of everything she does tends to resemble the habits of a cat. She will clean herself from time to time, though she avoids doing so in public. Her tail switches from side to side when she is irked, and she will even knock things over if irritated enough. She can also be very loving, but that attitude may change in a heartbeat. Catty also tends to get along with cats more than dogs when she approaches them. She does not dislike dogs, but cats also seem to grow fond of her more quickly. She usually blames it on the fact that she looks and smells similar to them, but whatever the reason, this tends to be the case. Catty also enjoys sharpening her claws on things. They are retractable, as well, and she hates the idea of getting herself declawed. She always figured that was a cruel punishment that humans did to their poor kitty friends. As such, she has a bit of a problem if she finds out anyone did that to their pet.
This lovely girl is also very well-taught. She is intelligent and takes learning very seriously. She enjoys being able to learn new things and has fun doing so, which only motivates her more. There are times when the material may be boring, but sometimes she knows she just has to suffer through it. Despite that, since Catty remembers a bit of her human life pretty well, she knows that there is more out there than meets the eye. This intrigues her. Some things have led her down this path and she knows it, so she wants to try to learn as much as possible before moving on to the next thing. This makes her very useful in investigative work. She tends to look for all of the clues and will not stop until she figures everything out. This also hints back to her determination. Catty is excitable and able to take on more material than she ever thought she could before each time she is faced with new challenges. Her eagerness to learn and her willingness to help allow her to be a formidable opponent. She takes first impressions seriously.
Surprising to some since she is an animal, Catty is also well-educated. She had a life before becoming one of the Beast-Clansmen and recalls much of her education. She is very smart and takes information seriously. She always tries to make sure she understands everything that is thrown at her because she knows all knowledge is good knowledge. Even the bad things can be considered useful at some point because you never know what can be used against someone. Since Catty is smart and quick on her feet, she tries to absorb as much knowledge as possible as the time passes. She has often times considered going back to school, but she knows it would not be possible given her current appearance. Despite this, she has decided that online classes are a wonderful thing. There has been a time or two where she gave some serious thought to getting more degrees, especially since her lifespan grew exponentially upon being reborn in the Rukongai.
She also tries to be as careful as possible. This is not just in reference to the care she gives when handling fragile things or fragile people, but she is careful in general. She will always try to cover her steps if she is on some secretive mission and has a tendency to be very slightly paranoid. This can be both good and bad. Catty tries to not let that get the best of her, but from time to time it will shine through even her most courageous attitude. Despite that, she can be a genuinely good asset to any team because of her desire to remain alive and well. She will try her best to cover her teammates and help as much as possible so long as they do not betray her. If this ever happens, she will do everything within her power to make sure these traitors understand that they have wronged her. Because of this, she is also very careful about who she chooses to work with. Trust is a huge factor in her life and she values it very much. If she cannot trust someone, she will not do anything with them.
Finally, Catty is extremely driven. Her drive and ambition motivate her to do anything and everything. She believes there is not a thing in this world she cannot do and she values that quality about herself. Nothing is impossible. Just challenging. These are words she lives by. Everything can be achieved so long as there is a will, and Catty definitely has this will do always do better than she ever did before. If someone manages to make her believe that what she is doing is the best path for her, then that is the path she will go down. She is not always so easily swayed, but if their goals align with hers, then they would make an excellent partner in her eyes. Additionally, this gives her a reason to strive to be the best. She had struggles in her human life, though not as bad as some, and she always wants to give herself reasons to improve. Being able to find flaws and make them better means she can always get stronger. This lights Catty's fire. If there were ever anyone who could define the word driven as its own personification, Catty would be the one.
