Character Info:
Name: Nepeta Leijon
Age: 12-13
Canon: Homestuck
Pull Point: Post-death

Background Info:
History: A group of twelve troll kids grew up on a planet called Alternia and communicated with each other mostly through instant messaging. Nepeta was one of them. She was raised by a giant cat in a cave, and killed and ate animals for food. During her six sweeps of life, she forged friendships with much of their group, especially her moirail Equius - think of it mostly as a romantic friendship. She was the one to calm Equius down and rein his destructive tendencies in, and he was the one to look after her and lay down the law trying to protect her.

Anyway. When these trolls were all about twelve-thirteen, they decided to play a game called SGRUB. It was going to be fun, they thought. It also killed all their guardian figures and destroyed their world. Oops. Not part of the plan.

Nepeta teamed up with Equius for most of the game, destroying enemies with their fearsome combination. They made it all the way up to the final boss fight, and won. ...And then some monster came out of nowhere before they could get their prize and forced them to flee to a tiny station in an asteroid belt where they all had to live together and it took about two seconds before tensions started rising.

She stayed close to Equius again, especially after said monster brutally killed her dreamself. When another troll started going on a rampage, Equius warned her to get to safety while he dealt with the problem. She ended up witnessing said troll killing him, and flew into an avenging fury, only to also get killed.
Personality: Nepeta has a very playful personality! She enjoys roleplaying with others, even boring types who won't admit they like it (like Equius). She'll tease her friends over their silly quirks, all in the best of humor.

She adores felines. Her weapons are a pair of claws, she uses her cat guardian's face when she's messaging people, and she peppers her speech with cat puns of all kinds. She acts like a cat when she's roleplaying. This is not so much a stretch, as she is a fearsome master of the hunt who can bring down large animals by herself. And her fake cat tail looks adorable on her.

Nepeta's other hobby, besides roleplaying, is shipping. She has a large shipping chart dedicated to the possible relationships between her friends, whatever kind they might be. She's used to them getting sunk, but still keeps at it. It's fun, and she wants her friends to find happiness.

When it comes to her own happiness in love... Nepeta won't speak out about her own hopeless crush she's been nursing for however long. Not even Equius, who she'll tell almost anything to, knows about it. She doesn't want to make anyone feel hurt, and she knows he probably won't return her feelings, so she just keeps quiet.

Nepeta is excellent at pacifying a situation and cheering people up. She has to be in order to calm down a troll with major anger issues. She gets along in some form or another with most people, except for the really creepy/scary ones. She's hard to get down, and has a bright outlook on life in general.

Game Specific:
Arcana: Lovers
Justification: Besides the obvious parts about her focus being on love, Lovers being about love, Nepeta also has the good intuition to sense the relationships forming between her friends. She's capable of a harmonious union with Equius - practically the only moirallegiance that actually works in the series. As well as that, though, she postpones choices by refusing to say anything about her own feelings.

Samples:
First Person Sample:
:33 < *ac is confused by her new circumstances*
:33 < *she has ended up pawfully lost and in a human body to boot*
:33 < *if anyone helped the poor stray cat, she would be purrleased as punch*
:33 < thank you!
:33 < *ac waits patiently fur a reply*


Third Person Sample:
Nepeta taps her pencil against her chin thoughtfully.

She can't decide whether to go flushed or pale with these two. They're obviously defensive of each other and help each other out, but they touch each other way too often for her to just say pale without even considering other quadrants.

...Augh, this one is difficult. She'd better focus on other things for right now, like the Dark Hour coming soon. Maybe it'll occur to her when she's bringing down a Shadow.

It's good to have a lot of interests.
