OMG the dramatic title. How dramatic.

Anyhoo, 'tis Nika, I wanted to get her medieval-ish garb down in order to complete her char sheet...then I could finally start role-playing.

I wanna revise all my characters, give them character sheets and picture so I could role-playing again.

Anyhoo! Shi Painter, about 4 hours altogether. I This one even got archived on that board, too! <3

Class: Hunter (As in "Tell me who to get for you, and I'll bring them to you alive. Unless they give me a better deal/I trust them more/I feel for them more than you." She won't kill needlessly like that.)

ripped apart by someone you love, werewolves, cold mornings, hot nights

Mate: None

Personality:

Mostly-human form: sort of a quiet, reserved girl is what she appears to be...she's mostly shy, though. She's incredibly guy-shy. She's very friendly, though. She can be very lazy sometimes and will sleep
randomly during the day. (She is a cat, after all.) She is inquisitive, and loves figuring people out - the more mysterious a person is, the more she is intrigued and she'll want to know more as well. She hasn't
been human long enough to understand many things, so while it may seem strange to others, she will often look at things, and the world, with childlike wonder. She's a bit insecure, and very confused...about
everything, it seems, but that does not mean that she isn't intelligent. Like most young people, she's an emotional rollercoaster. It isn't unusual for her to be bouncing one minute, then weeping her heart out
just because someone gave her a crooked eye. That's probably one of her main flaws - being too sensitive. It mixes up inside of her - as an animal, she's used to killing, but her human mind would have liked
to say otherwise, she's sort of torn up between that. I would like to describe her viewpoint as an optimistic realist. She tries to be an optimist, and since things are usually going good, she looks on the positive
side. But once things start looking bad (or she's just in a mood) she starts thinking "Hmmm, maybe it won't be that easy at all..." etc. She can be relaxed around company, she just needs to get to know
them...if they just seem to be "her kind of people" and she feels comfortable and welcome, she can be REALLY loud, and hyper, and maybe even annoying, she means well. She goes through weird states of
trust and distrust, meaning once she'll be completely naive, then she'll be paranoid. She's a bit of an eccentric, yeah...but get over that, and you'll find a kind soul.

Anthro Form: In this form, she's wilder, more animalistic perhaps....she's much more outgoing, happier...In this state, she's more likely to get into trouble. She can't deny or repress or whatever her curiosity
and her animal instincts as well as she can in her more human form. She's much more likely to fight more feistily (if you insult her or anything) and she'll want to both prove her point and/or get the last
word...it really depends on her shifty moods. In this form, she's also much more prone to complaining about humans and how illogical and stupid they can be... :B But she means it well. No, really. I swear. o.o
[There's really not much more to add...she's still the same person, but she's a bit different still. Hard to explain, I think it's a pretty minor shift.]

Cat form: She tries to be something she is not. That's why she attempted to polymorph in the first place. She's very resourceful, and self-assured...very quick to act, but even quicker to think. She can be sly,
and she likes outwitting beings dumber that she is. XB Ain't she lovely. Other than that, she's like the typical cat.

Appearance: Mostly Human Form: A 16-year-old girl, about 5'8", slinky and lean. She has an oval face with high cheekbones, which create a feline-ish appearance. Her eyes are slited and glowing, as if
they held some sort of mischievous secret inside. The right one is yellow, the left one is green. Her hair reaches halfway down her back; it's straight and silky. Normally, it's a blond/brown colour, but she
dyed it red purple...because she likes purple. She does not have human ears, nor human feet. Her feline features include: her fluffy, cat's ears, a cat's tail, paws instead of feet, elongated, claw-like nails,
and slightly pointed teeth. The ears, paws, and tail are the only places on her body that have fur. Otherwise, she has the same amount of body hair in the same places humans do. 'Course. Since in her cat
form, she's sort of a Siamese-coloured cat, her skin colour follows that pattern: her tail is brownish crème/tan with a dark brown tip; her ears are dark brown, as well as her paws and hands. Those ears
twitch often. XD

Anthro form: This form is obviously more animalistic. Her height shrink down to 5'5". She doesn't have fur on all the places on her body; only certain ones. Her eyes shape is slightly leaning towards that of a cat. She does not have a human nose, rather, she has a little kitty button nose. =^_^= Mew! She has small, barely noticeable whiskers. They are very thin, so they're practically invisible. She likes twitching her whiskers, too. Her fingers are missing a joint in this form, so while she can't write, she can still use a weapon, or a paintbrush quite effectively. She has hair the same places humans do for the most part - her hair [on her head hair] remains purple, and she has fur collecting on her elbows, knees, paws, and a bit around her tail. Her colouring is practically similar to the colouring of her other form - but her skin is the same colour of her fur, so the bits of fur she has really blend in. Her nails are even more claw-like, her teeth begin resembling fangs as well.

Cat form: A skinny Siamese-like coloured cat. Her fur is silky and smooth; it's not short but not too long. The fur on her tail is thicker and longer than on the rest of the body, so it resembles a bottle-brush.
Her eyes are, of course, green and yellow. Her fur is the aforementioned crème/tan colour, with dark brown ears, the tip of the tail, and her paws. (Image as if she was wearing socks. ^____________^)

What she wears: Baggy pants, usually purple, dark blue or brown. Reddish-brown leather armor for protection. It's light because she favours agility over defense. She wears purple stretchy fingerless gloves that go just abot up to her elbow. Sh wears no shoes, because she can't find any comfortable enough for her paws. One of these days though, she's going to have some bustom made. :B She does have a canvac knapsack for traveling, and a cloak somewhere. She wears a sash around the waist - that's where she keeps her slingshot, or money, or various other things. She also wears a choker around her neck - it's made of some kind of metallic, shiny ribbon. A kittybell hangs from the ribbon. This kittybell stays with her through every form.

Expertise

*Magical*

--Natural--

-Firebolt. She can cast small firebolts, but not really well. Most of the time they just sorta...explode where they're not supposed to. ;
-Dimness. She can't become invisible per say...it's more like being dim. You know when you're walking down the street in the evening, and something brushes against your shoulders? By the time you look, and
you feel like you're being watched, but no one's there. That was most likely someone who has dimmed themselves. You sort of fade, blend into the shadow. People can't see you unless they look closely, and
this gives a creepy enough feeling for them not to try so hard. Those with keen eyesight can definitely spot you, unless you're hiding in the shadow. It allows you to slip by unnoticed. Based on the Dimness
spell from The Eyes of the Dragon by Stephen King.
-Hiss. Wouldn't it be kinda scary/unnerving if a half-human half-animal hissed at you threateningly, while bearing those devilish fangs? This is meant for scaring enemies, or to create a diversion. It works
better in her anthro form.
-Enchant claws/weapon. She can enchant her claws, or someone's weapon to hold some sort of elemental power, including elements combined. (Lightning is a combined element, for example.) Most likely, it'll
be fire or ice.
-Shape-shifting.

--Object Oriented--

-spear (Her favourite weapon. It looks like it's gold, it's that colour at least. I have no idea what it's made out of, but it must be some kind of magically imbued alloy or something.)
-katana
-slingshot (She uses it to only create diversions. If she wants to piss somebody off she can fire spiky balls...and if someone needs cover she can fire a smoke bomb. Wheee. ~_~)
-very light leather armor

*Non magical*

-leaping ability. Due to her cat genealogy, she has very strong muscles in her legs. She can leap pretty high and far is she tries.
-advanced eye sight. She cannot see when its completely dark - no one can. But her eye sight is much better than that of a human...she has a cat's eyes, after all. They adjust from thin to thick slits just like
cats' eyes do according to the lightness in a place.
-extremely sharp and strong claws. Cats have actual veins and nerves in their claws. So if she'd break a nail, it'd bleed. Fortunately, they're incredibly strong. They're the strongest in her anthro form.
-increased sense of smell and hearing. Cats have keen senses...her senses are stronger than that of a usual cat. They get weaker as she adapts forms that are more human. Cats are picky eaters, also...yeah,
she's a picky eater as well XD It's 'cause her sense of taste is pretty keen as well. ^_^;

Genealogy: Erm..she never knew her father, only her mother, and she left as soon as she was 4 months old - I mean, do cats even have a genealogy? She was basically an alley cat...

History: Kay. This is complicated. It will be made into a fairytale once I get off my lazy ass and actually go and write it, but for now I'll spare you and give you a not-so-quick summary. ~_~ Or something.

So, basically, Nika had always been a cat, but she differentiated herself from her siblings. She was somewhat ambitious and a dreamer. She admired humans for all that they could do, and deep in her heart she wished to be human. As she heard from numerous other citizens of the alley, there were wondrous tales of animals morphing to become human. Nika began studying. She followed the mages tha came to town around, sneaked her way into the library, kept company to lonely wizards and sorceresses that studied magic...and she learned. With the help of her husky friend (husky as a dog breed, not a chubby person ~_~) she was ready for a try...

Needless to say, the first time she failed to do it properly...she could do it only about halfway. That's where her anthro form came from. Later, she developed a crush on this guy, who turned out to be a prince...and he was her incentive to try to transform into a human again. She did it properly. (Oh dear gawd, so cliche...but like most Slovakian fairy tales, there has to be falling in love somewhere... ;;>.> So they met up, and after a while, they were going to gt married. She lived at his mansion for a while...but fate is cruel and blah blah blah, he got called to war. And then he died in battle. The mansion as taken over by another family...because she allowed them. She had seen it all - human cruelty, greed, stupidity...so she left, and people never relly saw her again. Or maybe they did but they did not recognize her. As a human, she would've looked like a normal girl, with brown hair...and a slight anomaly, the green/yellow eyes. Since then, she dyed her hair purple, and though she looks mostly human, she kept some cat features which she really liked. Those have been mentioned.

Blah blah. Life went on. Later, she did find another person, who was an anthro, and so she stayed in her anthro form most of the time, only because of that person. Her wilder personality seemed to suit him better. She did it even though she did not like it. Later, after they got into arguments and split, she stopped using that form as often...simpy because it reminded her of him, and of failure. Since then, she earned a reputation as a great hunter/tracker, and she bough a house with a terrace in a port town, and that's where she spends most of her days. Unless she's out doing odd jobs for people...or painting.

---- Long ain't it.
