Name: TabbyAge: 6Gender: FemaleHeight/Weight: 3' 3" @ 42 lbs.Species: CatDate of Birth: February 14Residence: A cottage on the Old Dust TrailOverview:Tabby is the middle sister of the three kittens, and the most instinctual out of the three. Her notable traits are often known for resembling a cat (for which she is), and often dresses and acts the part. Although she has incredible instinctual conscious and can do many things well with little thinking, she can often fall under herself to this trait, reflecting in her oblivious, short-attented, and very simple character. However, she also acts as a dividing force between her two sisters when things get rocky, so supervision between the three is pivotal.Tabby appears a a young, pale purple kitten. Her fur is subtly striped with blue all over, with the stripes on her tail coiling up it like a candy cane. Her ears are also blue. Her frame is quite small, and lithe like that of a well cared for cat. Much of the rest her appearance is founded around her clothing, and thus covers a large amount of her body. In turn, not much else is know about her physical features.

 As for what covers her body, her attire consists of cat-themed attire that encompass most of her body to a sense. It portrays a hoodie with a large, thick, diamond-shaped hood; large, very paw-like handwear and boots; and a pale blue circular mask that covers the face. The mask is layered with triangular, darker blue stripes coming up on the sides of the face, and one coming down from the head, and has a very simple facet of a cat face etched into it. The eye hols are circular, and of notable size, yet her eyes can't be seen by themHer personality, modeled of that of a kitten, is that of a simple-minded, uppity, active, instinctual, and very flexible child. Her cat-ish behavior is often her most notable trait, saying her meows, making cat-like gestures, doing things in a rather feline fashion, and even at times running on all fours. She has profound likings to meat (especially fish), catnip, spherical objects, bells, lazer pointers, bubbles, and in general, things that move. Her mask also possess the abnormality to change it's facial expression according to what Tabby is feeling, or trying to express emotionally.

 Show her any one of these things, and you'll likely never stop seeing her...History:Tabby was born second in her family, being 6 years behind eldest sister, Tiger. Although Tiger wasn't originally accustomed to having a younger sibling, she warmed up to Tabby around a year. Tabby was only 3 when younger sister, Catty was born. Despite father not being present in their home, they grew happily in an all-female house of 4: one mother, and two other sisters.Tabby grew some, and took up a notable influence from feline habits and culture. Over time, her cognitive and motor skills became unusually cat-like,

and she began wearing more cat-themed clothing. For her age, she was quite agile, skilled at climbing, running, jumping, and even leaping from place to place... and she always landed on her feet. She was often called "cat" by her older sister for awhile. Her behavior ever since has been nothing short of cat-like, being essentially adherent to the character of the feline.However, one day, the three kittens' mother fell ill, and she couldn't care for them in her condition. She needed medicine from the pharmacist to help ail her illness, but said pharmacist did not have the medication. Desperate to save their mother, she had permitted them to venture to the nearest town the find something for her. With each sister at one another's side, they set off to find this medicine to cure their beloved mother... along the way, running into a few detours and roadblocks.

 Weapon: Retractable ClawsWeapon Type: ClawDiscipline: Cat-Modeled Self-taught StyleBattle and Abilities:Tabby, with her cat-like behavior, senses and abilities is very profound in proving herself in battle. She possesses an uncanny amount of agility and speed, and is very quick on her paws. Her superb skills and agility make her very difficult to keep up with on the field, and can carry some vital consequences if one loses track of her.Her primary means of attack are rather large, retractable claws hidden within her wears on her hands and feet. Not only are they a means of attack against foe, but they also help provide enhanced grip on a lot of surfaces. Her style of using such tools are a self-developed cat-modeled style, further slating her cat-like traits. She is quite a physical fighter when it comes to what she can use to her advantage, often leaping, running, jumping, and maneuvering all sorts of ways, and batting her opponent out of their socks with very swift, successive bats and swipes of the paw, with or without claws.

 If she ingests catnip before fighting, she gets very hyper and edgy. This kind of changes ups her abilities quite a bit, being able to move quicker and faster than ever before. It's essentially a speed-up agent.However, Tabby has her weaknesses as well. Her weapon and fight style choice is one that requires a close range. For opponents with range aspects, such obstacle might be difficult to her is use in a unique or controlled fashion. As well, being 6 years old, she's not very tolerant to pain or trauma, so she is quite weak and frail. If used recklessly, her nimble and agile maneuverability can perhaps play her unwell, but such case isn't common.
