Roleplay Type: WoE

Name: Cat Napper

Sex: Female

Age: Young mare, late teen years

Species: Pegasus

Eye colour: Very light gray, nearly white.

Coat: A very pale desaturated baby blue. Dark navy stockings cover most of her four legs and fade into light dun stripes at her shoulders/thighs. Constantly she has dark markings under her eyes and looks very tired as a result, and has a black blaze along the bridge of her nose.

Mane/Tail: Long and not very well kept, a bit scruffy. Mainly a dusty brown with a blue streak through the middle. Her forelock is parted over a pair of copper goggles that she's normally seen wearing either as a headband or over her eyes. She claims they aid her vision but the truth is the goggles do, in fact, do nothing.

Sometimes she wears matching knee guards, elbow guards and shin guards, something she took up thanks to her lazy, reckless flight habits. She has copper horse shoes that she annually changes to protect her hooves from her less than stellar landing.

Physique: A good few inches shorter than most ponies her age, strong hind legs and good hearing. Average sight and hearing abilities but she's very in tune to colors, and rather picky about good schemes. Also noticeable is a very prominent gap between her two front teeth.

Residence: TBD

Occupation: Traveling freelance painter, though she also dabbles in several other artistic mediums commonly singing and music related things as well as other forms of drawing and illustrating.

Cutie Mark: A black canine pawprint with a pencil tilted over it.

History: Cat Napper was born and raised most of her life in Cloudsdale like most pegasi. As an only child, Cat made very close friends with most others her age and felt them as siblings. Practically bouncing off the walls as a foal, her teen years arrived with a sudden decrease in her energy. Her parents were deeply concerned with this as well as the fact that she still hadn't found her motive. Her friends became enemies as they shied away or openly mocked her "blank flank."

In early life Cat was enrolled in Cloudsdale's Flight Academy where she was considered a gifted flyer, mostly thanks to her characteristic flight style of riding the updrafts and then using gravity to reach an incredible speed. She was tactful and creative, but dropped out before she could graduate due to her more than destructive tendency to crash land and wreck school property.

She spent more time outdoors gazing over the land by herself and sketching the dips, archs, and cliffs of the mountains she saw. Without thumbs, sketching was a difficult feat. The adaptive and inventive Cat Napper held the pencil between her bent fetlocks and figured out a loose sketching and painting style from there. Pretty soon everything she saw around her became a potential art subject. She preferred to draw the less common things, whenever there was a griffon or a hippogriff nearby her pages would be filled with depictions of the odd creatures.

She never took her artwork seriously until the day she ventured to the ground and met a family of Earth ponies. She made friends with a daughter around her age, a photographer named Picture Perfect, and took interest in their pet Akita, Sasha. She'd never seen a dog before, such a playful and loyal animal. She spent a lot of time living on both worlds, one hoof in the clouds and another on land, a few years of friendship on Earth and scorn in the skies.

Things seemed like they would never change, not until she received word from Picture Perfect about Sasha's old age. Growing arthritis and hip problems became such a struggle to the old dog that she could barely get up. She stayed the night with the grieving family after Sasha passed away, she shared their pain as she had grown very close to the Akita. Upon returning to her home, she stayed far away from anypony who tried to insult her like usual and worked on a painting longer than she had ever before.

She didn't leave home and she didn't stop for hours on end until the piece was finally finished. She poured every drop of emotion into it, a portrait of Sasha, and left to bring it to her friends on Earth. That was one of the rare moments you'd see Cat crying, but of joy and not sorrow. Her old friend's memory was preserved, and her Earth pony friends were smiling through their loss.

That was the day she earned her cutie mark, and the day she realized that this was her calling. After reasoning with her parents upon her 16th birthday two years later, Cat left to wander Equestria in hopes of sharing her art with others, making others smile in the worst of moments. It's all she's ever wanted, to bring a little bit of sunshine into the hearts of those who need it.

Character Summary: Catrina Elizabeth Napper or Cat Napper, more commonly just 'Cat', is a pony who always tries her absolute hardest to put her best hoof forward no matter who or what she is dealing with.

Sometimes in a ridiculously overbearing manner.

Sometimes she's too much to take in at once being very active and full of thoughts and ideas that never seem to stop. Everything inspires her, from breathtaking natural phenomenon to simple urban settings, and she reads into it all with a ridiculous amount of depth.

She is very friendly, almost too much so, and terrible at planning or thinking for herself. On several occasions she's known to throw down her needs to help a complete stranger.

She's entirely chaotically minded and unable to keep a schedule of any sort

One of the hardest thing to adjust to regarding this pint sized artist is how quickly she can reverse herself. She can go from a ball of nothing but energy and enthusiasm to a sleepy lazy slug of a pony in a matter of seconds. She is also quite easily irritated by the most unexpected of things and situations, which results in some very confusing and pointless arguments. Should someone be able to deal with the emotional rollercoaster that she is, they would find a friend for life.

Keeping herself in very little consideration, Cat considers her friends to be more valuable than the air in her lungs. If she really loves someone she feels as though she should take responsibility for them and make them happy no matter what. Bad situations are smoothed out by her generosity, often times to her own expense but if she feels like she failed a friend, the guilt is something she will have a very hard time letting go, if ever.

Overall this little pegasus can be blunt and irrational with an innocent disregard for common sense, overflowing with dramatic emotional flair, but definitely someone who pours her honest heart and soul into everything she does and everyone she meets.

((new ref sheet is coming soon because jeez does she need it))
