personality:
At first glance, Nepeta seems pretty harmless. She's just a cute, silly little girl who likes to dress up like a cat and roleplay with her friends - how bad can she be? The truth of the matter is she is much more dangerous than she looks. The trolls of Alternia are violent and aggressive, and Nepeta, for all her moeness, still fits into this descriptor. She has no qualms with killing animals and wearing their pelts or using their blood to paint murals and comics on the walls of her cave, for example. She doesn't kill anything she wouldn't eat, though, because "that would be mean." And if anyone threatens her friends? She will fuck their shit up. When Gamzee flips out and kills her moirail, for example, she does not hesitate in revengepouncing him, even though it leads to her own death.

For however ruthless trolls seem to be, however, Nepeta herself is quite personable, which is pretty rare for her kind! She can be very affectionate and outgoing - she tacklepounces Equius in greeting, snuggles up with her lusus quite often, and loves to play games with her friends. She seems to be quite naive and ignorant as well, likely due to the fact that she grew up in a cave with a giant cat. No, seriously. She doesn't seem to understand her place in the hemospectrum (simply put, the trolls' caste system, based on blood color), and doesn't seem to care at all. She tries hard to be friendly with everyone, no matter what color their blood is or how creepy or weird the others think they might be.

To the others, Nepeta seems like a girl whose head is in the clouds. And she kind of is, but! She is a lot smarter and more perceptive than most give her credit for. She's observant enough to keep track of what's going on with her troll pals' relationships and even their interactions with the human kids. And while she is, for the most part, not a very confrontational troll, she can tell when other people are being insulting, passive-aggressive, or condescending - though that isn't very difficult, considering the standard for her species. For example, when Karkat plays along with her roleplaying, she knows that he's just mocking her, but she cheerfully ignores it. Even if he's not taking it seriously, she still has fun with it and would simply rather not address it.

She is remarkably patient, as well - not only in dealing with the other trolls when she's being an asshole, but also in her duty as Equius's moirail. A moirail is something akin to a fated BFF, but they serve as an equalizer to the other. In their case, Nepeta keeps Equius from becoming too angry or violent with the other trolls, while he tries to keep her safe and shows her how to act "properly." It's hard work, but everyone has an important job to do. Though they disagree on a lot of points, especially where blood color is involved, they are as close as two besties can be.

Also, Nepeta is a goddamn SHIPPING MASTER. She knows a lot about troll relationships (which sure are strange) and keeps track of her friends' relationships via a mural in her cave that she updates frequently. The shipping wall is a secret she guards fiercely, largely due to the fact that her own feelings are displayed on it - namely, her flushcrush on Karkat. This isn't necessarily because she's shy, however! Rather, she seems aware that Karkat doesn't return her feelings and, moreover, that he is in a matespritship (troll term for romantic relationship :'|) with another one of her good friends, and she doesn't want to ruin that for them. Her feelings, and those of her troll pals, are quite possibly the one thing she is especially careful about.

All in all, Nepeta is a sweet and amiable girl, and definitely not one to be trifled with.

abilities/powers:
Nepeta is a badass fighter! She hunts animals for food and is used to defending herself, because "on Alternia, everything is considered unsuspecting prey by everything else." Weapon of choice? Her handy dandy CLAW GLOVES.

first person sample:
:33 < *ac cautiously prowls out of the strange and very cold room twitching her whiskers nervously*
:33 < *her ears sit flat against her head and her claws are ready to strike at any unsuspecting enemies!*
:33 < *...or they would be if she still had her hood and claws* ://
:33 < hellooooooooo?? is anyone out there?
:33 < i dont remember falling asl33p in here
:33 < and i dont recognize this part of the veil
:33 < i can't find any transpurrtalizers either!
:33 < so if anyone can see this
:33 < could you please tell me how to get back to the others?
:33 < if im gone too long equius will purrobably be very upset :((


third person sample:
Nepeta wrinkles her nose thoughtfully as she looks over her new home - it's not as cozy as her old cave, or even her space in the veil, but there's no point in being picky now. Regardless, she knows she has a lot of work ahead of her. Any decent living space of Nepeta Leijon requires a fun collection of artwork, after all, and the lack of a shipping wall simply will not do.

Much to her disappointment, there are no wild animals whose blood she can use for paint! None at all! Not so much as a little mouse, after hours of hunting.

A human was nice enough to show her where to find man-made paints, but they just aren't the same. The texture is different from the blood and soot and ashes that she's used to, and the smell is just unpleasant. But, once again, being picky isn't going to help her here.

Besides, she can't let some funny smelling paints keep her from such important business! With all the new friends she's made, there are a lot of new ships to keep track of. So Nepeta sets to work, retrieving her red paints for her two favorite quadrants.

"Catnip and Peeta... Hawke and Anders... hmmmm," she hums happily to herself as she paints. All of her favorite ships are displayed front and center, of course, except for one in the corner, discretely covered with a pile of creates. I mean, crates.

No one must ever see her recreated Karkat<3Nepeta portrait, after all. NO ONE MUST EVER S333333333333333333333333!
