History: http://mspaintadventures.wikia.com/wiki/Nepeta_Leijon
:33
Personality: At her core, Nepeta is incredibly friendly, and playful. At first glance you’d think she was just a naive, helpless little furry, who spends too much time in her own little world to know how to look after herself. You’d be right with about half of that.

Nepeta loves roleplaying and larping with pretty much anyone who will put up with her for more than five minutes and frequents online elite ‘lion’ roleplaying forums that she herself help set up. She used to dither in far lower forms of roleplay that involved something she only disdainfully refers to now as ‘sparkle lions and dragons’ and insists on using fancy words that she doesn’t even quite know the meaning of to describe things like ears and tails (audits and tassel respectively). She still has a soft spot for her old fierce warrior cat RP character, who has a long and complex backstory that entangles with one of her friends RP characters, the mighty dragonyy'yd. This is the only form of ‘sparkle’ RP she still actively takes part in. Her roleplaying does seep out into her everyday life, as she uses a lot of ‘cat puns’ in her typing and also loves using the cat emote :33. She can sometimes take her roleplaying a bit too seriously too, and will often godmode to make sure nothing too dangerous will happen to her character or her character’s cubs. Because of her constant playfulness and roleplaying, Nepeta is not always taken seriously. It can be hard to derail her from her rping long enough to get her to talk about serious things, and even then she’s quite cheerful about it. In this sense she’s quite naïve, or at least she can seem that way.

When she’s not at her computer, Nepeta almost always in the company of her lusus, Pounce de Leon, a two mouthed catlike custodian, who Nepeta is entirely enamoured with. She frequently goes hunting with Pounce, hunting down the wild beasts the roam the plains outside her cave, which she kills and drags back to her cave to eat, sometimes riding on the back of Pounce if she’s too tired (Pounce sometimes rides on her back too). She uses every part of the animal, the meat for sustenance, the pelts for clothing and even the blood and entrails as paint for her cave paintings, which is another past time she enjoys. She has a wild streak running through her, and can be extremely savage but is always extremely blasé about it. She has no qualms with killing animals if she needs to survive and finds it strange when people get squeamish over guts and blood, or claim that it’s animal cruelty. This can sometimes cause arguments with her moirail, Equius, who disapproves of the slaughter of "noble beasts".

Even though she can come off as pretty naive and silly, Nepeta is also extremely brave and combat ready. If she gets riled up enough, she can make a pretty scary opponent, having learned all about the best places to get your claws in to gut someone, but she is hardly ever actively out to hurt people. She enjoys hunting and fighting in a physical sense but is very agreeable socially and very rarely antagonistic. Part of that is why she and Equius are good moirails for each other. She calms Equius down when he gets uncontrollably worked up over things and she watches over him and keeps him in line. He does frustrate her at times, as he can be extremely difficult and rarely listens to what she wants, thinking he knows best for her, but she cares about him a great deal. Their moiralleigance is a two way street, as Equius takes it upon himself to try and civilize Nepeta, and generally tries to keep her from behaving in a too wild a fashion, but she still has instincts, regardless of how horrified Equius would be if he found out. She does let Equius boss her around a bit. A lot of the other trolls question why she’s friends with him, as he can sometimes seem to treat her quite poorly. Nepeta isn’t afraid to argue back with Equius, but ultimately tends to defer to what he wants her to do, if with frustration.

So we’ve got an adorable but horrifically and indifferently savage cat-like troll who probably just wants to be your friend. But she’s also a romantic. Troll romance is complicated, to say the least, but another one of Nepeta’s past times is maintaining a ‘shipping wall’ of all her friends and one separate for all her roleplay characters. Nepeta takes a great interest in troll romance and loves organizing her friends into pairings and into the proper quadrants, and updates the wall when things change in her friends’ relationships. She’s pretty vigilant when it comes to this, and even has sections for herself on the wall. Ships sink and sail all the time, and though emotions are involved, Nepeta tries to take a overseer approach even when she’s directly affected by one of the ships sinking. This is prevalent in her admittal of her red crush on one of her friends, Karkat, who ended up turning her down. She accepted the response and updated the shipping wall with the new information and tried to get on with life. (This wasn’t played out in canon, but in the events that happened now that SGRUB wasn’t a thing. I have permission from the Karkat-mun, and we have played out the interaction, which I will be linking for my samples!) However this doesn’t mean she’s not passionate about ships, and will actively defend them if she feels they are MEANT TO BE.

Nepeta tries not to worry about being judged and typically just does her own thing. She doesn’t really care too much about blood casting, which is a major part of Troll culture. She’s a mid-caste, meaning she’s a middleclass troll, but she doesn’t see the difference between a high blood or a low blood, and doesn’t see why there needs to be any divide, much to her moirail’s frustration. This is probably because she lives in a secluded cave in the middle of the wilderness and hasn’t had very much troll interaction except on the internet.

Abilities & physical limitations:Although it is not outwardly apparent, Nepeta is quite possibly the most skilled fighter out of all the trolls. She certainly has the most experience, and spends a lot of her time exploring the landscape and hunting down terrifying beasts, which she drags back to her cave on her own. She is physically fit and can survive on her own in the wilderness without much effort. Her weapons of choice are retractable claws on her gloves, which can be compared to Wolverine’s. She also has very good night vision even by nocturnal troll standards, as she has spent most of her life in a dark cave.

Prototyping:The remains of her latest kill, a resentful antlerbeast.
Title: Painter of Pride
In-game abilities: Painter of Pride is a support class, that grants others a sense of confidence, belonging and togetherness through drawings. Its most basic form would be Nepeta drawing a picture of someone, and that picture granting confidence to them when they saw it. At higher levels Nepeta could use it as a way to get an entire group to work as one, creating a sort of pack mentality with her teammates - since she has no qualms over using blood in her paintings, she would be able to paint as she went, on the ground, using dismembered limbs as a paintbrush.


Planet: Land of Lawn Croquet and Tophats (LOLCAT). A high society kind of world, with beautifully kept lawns, hedge mazes and mansions and tea at high noon, inhabited by bipedal gazelles who wear fancy hats. The gazelles must every day have tea at teatime to discuss the social standings of all of their peers and things like marriage proposals and other important daily happenings. This can only be done over tea and society has ground to a halt as the Denzien has stolen the gazelles thumbs. Unable to lift teacups or tip their fine hats, their society is on the verge of collapsing, some even getting on all fours and resorting to grazing to try and uphold their status.
