[OOC]
Timezone: GMT+10:00
Backtagging: please, please note the Australian timezone. I love boomeranging when our times match but otherwise, it's backtagging. Some threads will have to be lapsed if too many pile up at once, but please hit me up if there's one in particular you'd like to continue!
Threadhopping: absolutely, unless it's become a serious thread.
Fourthwalling: depends on what's actually happening but in general, go for it!
Offensive subjects: putting a firm nope on non-con.
Tag style: I'm not fussy, I'll match whatever. I default to present-tense prose. Always happy to change to whichever style is preferred!
OCs, cross-canon, general shenanigans: Yes, yes, yes!

Hugging this character: good way to get clawed
Kissing this character: an even better way to get clawed!
Flirting with this character: surprisingly, might be difficult to get clawed this way. assuming it's non-physical. also, will not be taken seriously.
Fighting with this character: it's more a matter of when, not if. Negative CR may pile up quickly, so let's sketch out an idea of the thread before we commit to anything.
Injuring this character (include limits and severity): always up for plotting it out.
Killing this character: less inclined, but it's on the table.
Using telepathy/mind reading abilities on this character: let's avoid this, unless we've got it worked out first. It's a very quick way to ramp up the drama.
Opting out:
Catra can be a bit much. If you'd rather opt out of threading with her, please shoot me a PM or hit me up at![[plurk.com profile]](https://plurk.com/favicon.ico)

upcycling first impressions
Sep. 24th, 2035 09:53 pm
CATRA Age
18ish Gender
Female Height
5'3 Build
Lithe First Impressions
Thick, mostly-brown hair that goes to her mid-back; brown tail, and orange-brown fur everywhere else. Sharp teeth, sharp claws, and a tendency to bite. One blue and one yellow eye, both with slit pupils. Will not be wearing shoes unless she absolutely has to. Tends to look a bit scraggly and rough around the edges, like she's either about to get into or just got out of a scuffle.
In general, Catra is quick and moves smoothly. You ever have a cat try to trip you up on a staircase? That's basically her. She's a jerk. You can expect at any given time that she's probably being 1) smug 2) mean 3) sarcastic 4) a brat. She's small and light, and though she most often walks on her feet she'll also scarper along on all fours if she needs the speed advantage. She likes heights, and it's not unusual to find her perched up on something tall. Info
Got ditched in the Fright Zone, a military base that really tries hard to earn its name, at a young age. Subsequently latched onto by a blonde-haired blue-eyed child soldier, and latched right back. Grew up as a ward of someone who should have never been allowed to raise children, and has a loooong list of issues stemming from that.
Got ditched by said blonde-haired blue-eyed child soldier when she found a magic sword in their late teens, and things went pretty steadily downhill from there! Abilities & Inventory
Catra does not have magic. What she has are teeth, claws, sharp reflexes, and hunter's instincts. She can hear beyond the range of a normal person, has a very sensitive sense of smell, and can see in the dark. She's got a quick mind and is great at strategy, though she's not immune to surprises. She loves heights, and springing traps.
You can pretty much assume that if a cat can do it, Catra's probably good at it too. |

Catra comes with a few content warnings for sensitive topics built in to her character. She has been raised a child soldier and has very normalized views of violence, war crimes, and related atrocities. She has experienced a lot of physical and psychological abuse dished out by the woman who raised her, and while she knows the way Shadow Weaver treats her is messed up, it's also still a regular Tuesday when things like immobilization or electrocution are used on her. (It's heavily implied that her breathing is also restricted during the immobilization, so add that to the list of things she's pretty used to.)
Under normal circumstances, she's extremely unlikely to discuss or mention Shadow Weaver's treatment of her. However, since military life was the same for all of the child soldiers being raised in the Horde, she will candidly bring up aspects of that with the expectation that it's a universal thing. (eg: they don't have birthdays or parties; meals consist of ration bars with actual real food unheard of except for the few pieces of contraband the soldiers sneak in; combat training begins when you can walk; etc.)
If there's anything you'd like me to make sure does not get brought up in a thread with your character(s), please drop me a line through any channel!

Character: Catra
Canon: She-Ra and the Princesses of Power
Canon Point: haha we're gonna go with midway through season 1, episode 2. Right before the Thaymor invasion.
CRAU, Canon AU: N/A
Character age: A very nebulous 18ish. She's a war orphan and child soldier, they don't really do birthdays.
Canon Abilities/Powers: Catra's abilities are all innate physical qualities. Being a - for lack of better term - literal cat person, she's got a bundle of feline attributes that are just part of who she is. These include her heightened senses of smell and hearing, her sharper eyesight (and ability to see in the dark/low-light areas), and her dexterity/agility; along with her clawed hands and feet.
She's also like, really good at climbing things and pissing people off. Basically, if a cat can do it? Catra probably can too.
(In terms of skills, she's been raised in a military complex as a soldier for the Evil Horde, who - as the name implies - aren't very good people. She's got a variety of military skills, including combat and strategy training that I can expand on if you like. But it's basically summed up as having weapons proficiency with staves and unarmed combat, being technologically competent, and being skilled with war machines and weaponry. In later canon points, she's also skilled with using a whip and orchestrating large-scale military operations, including resource distribution and management. Buuuut for right now, she's just a bratty cadet fresh out of training.)
What is their greatest negative emotion towards an object, situation, or person in their past?:
There's kind of A Lot, but for this specific canonpoint, going to say intense jealousy/feelings of inadequacy from always being treated as less than Adora. While these feelings manifest clearly as resentment towards Shadow Weaver, who often dismisses Catra as worthless and lazy, they also sometimes cause her to lash out at Adora; particularly when Adora is doing something that Catra perceives as sucking up, or if she thinks she's trying to worm her way into people's good books. (Or if Catra's been blamed/punished for something unfairly, or if she thinks Adora's gotten away with something because she's Shadow Weaver's favourite.)
How strongly do they feel about the negative subject matter, on the scale of one to ten?:
There's a couple of seasons on it.
Honestly, it depends on what Adora has done/is doing, or if Catra has recently screwed up or been berated. It's pretty much a simmering 4 until something triggers it, at which point it explodes up into a 12.
What is their greatest virtue?:
Catra is protective of the people she likes, but it usually comes out aggressively. (That's really the only way to be, in the Horde.) She's bossy about it, too: demanding and threatening people (Entrapta) to stay out of dangerous places (Hordak's sanctum) to keep them safe.
How aware are they of their virtue, on a scale from one to ten?:
Zero. No cognition of it whatsoever, and she'll fight tooth and nail against anyone who even suggests it.
Items: A stun baton, which fires off blasts of electricity to do what it says on the tin and stun people. Her cat-based face mask, and her Horde uniform.
Samples: s1 canonpoint on the TDM, I've got tonnes of other threads from later canonpoints in a different journal if you happen to want to see more fleshing out.
Special notes
None!
