Name: Cora
Nicknames:
Breed: Cream-colored Turkish Van
Age: Unknown. She looks like young adult.
Blood Type: A
Alignment: Senshi
Attached to: Sailor Chibi Hypnos, Chibi Senshi of Sleep (Ainsley McMahon)
Fav. Food: Fresh salmon, covered with butter. Her previous owner used to give this treat to her every Sunday.
Hated Food: Anything spicy. It burns her tongue and that doesn't feel nice.
Hobbies:
Singing - Cora finds music very interesting thing. All those different notes and the way they become into beautiful melody. It is really intriguing. When Ainsley sings, she comes to listen it and sometimes tries to mimic sounds she makes by mewing. In her cat form, she isn't very good singer however in her human form, she finds right tunes easier.
Relaxing - Cora enjoys getting brushed, bathed and even getting dressed up in lace and pows. She rewards Ainsley (or anyone who is willing to brush her) of her hard work with pleasant purr and loving nudges. Especially bathing she enjoys and could spend hours in a tub filled with warm water relaxing and blowing bubbles with Ainsley.
Exploring - No matter how much Cora loves her life with Ainsley, she could never be indoors cat. There is just too many interesting things out there! Any interesting sounds, smells or sights that catches her interest (which literally means almost anything) she definately needs to check and examine. She usually doesn't take long walks because she don't want her little owner to get worried but sometimes (like if she had got lost or something) her travels might keep her away from even a night.
Hide-and-Seek - Cora loves Hide-and-Seek! To her, it's almost like a hunting game, only much more friendly and harmless. When hiding, she imagines herself as a mighty huntress, ready to 'strike' when 'the prey' is on right spot. And when seeking, she imagines herself as a mighty predator who is looking for 'the prey'. No one ever get hurt in this game though because her 'strike' is literally that she jumps right in front of her 'prey' and then sprints away like a lightning. A moment after she comes back and the game continues.
Her favourite game partner is Ainsley but anyone who she can get into the game is a fun game partner.
Virtues:
Empathic - Cora has been watching humans and their body language. She recognizes their feelings somewhat well and is able to tell often whether one is i. e. having worries. Especially children she can read well because children usually show feelings more openly than adults. She has also learned that she can affect those feelings. And because she wants no one to feel sad, she often tries to comfort those who looks like they have worries. She is an excellent listener who could listen them for hours while reassuringly purring and nudging them lightly.
Charming - She nudges ankles of people while purring loudly. She paws at the ball on the string curiously before attacking it in cute clumsy manner while making funny little growls and mews. She sits on her back foot like a mongoose and carefully sniffles at this new scent she just found.
All this she does as cutely as possible. She has learned that most people like her when she acts like an adorable little kitty and she is taking advantage of that. She even flirts softly with her company sometimes, of course depending on who her company is. She uses her cuteness as a way to get what she wants, which is usually attention or food. She also tries to please others so that they wouldn't feel bad about her should she had done something wrong. She would try talking her way out of battle situations if she would not get so easily panicked.
Studious - Cora is quite curious cat who is eager to learn everything. While anything new catches her interest (i.e. new delicious smelling food), she is mostly interested of things that help her to survive in this technology filled world. She knows some basic information of how some technological devices work, like elevators and electric/automatic doors. Should she get lost in a mall she could find her way out from there relatively easily. Even closed rooms are hardly problem to her, provided there would be at least one unlocked door or window and nothing would threaten her.
She is also very interested of senshi and loves to spend much time with them. She feels a strong need to be with them, discussing about their feelings and trying to help them in any way she can. Their home worlds are interesting as well and Cora is always willing to volunteer as their space travelling partner. While she can't see their flashbacks she can always discuss about them and an emotional support to those confused senshi.
And while Negaverse is interesting (like any new thing) to her in a way, their energy makes her feel very uncomfortable and thus she tends to avoid them.
Flaws:
Attention Whore - "Mew mew mew! Hear me singing." "Grr, gr. Look at me when I play." "Purr purr, I would like some scratching." "Meooww! Don't you two kiss now, I'm hungry!" Cora loves and demands attention. Sure, she can be cute but sometimes she tries it too much. Which can be really annoying.
Should she not get attention enough for her liking, she gets frustrated and start acting childish. Consequences can be disasterous at worst. She isn't likely to attack directly at the person hurting her feelings but their surroundings might be in danger. Most often times she just sulks but she might also do some mayhem i.e. go in the WC and spread toilet paper all over the place. Or if she gets really angry (which luckily isn't very common), she might even break something precious the person loves. She usually apologizes afterwards though, especially if she did something bad to a person she really likes. But sometimes the damage is too great and nothing can repair the damage she had caused.
Way Too Curious - Cora is very curious little cat and it often leads her in trouble. Anything that catches her interest she needs to examine, no matter what! She often forgets there could be danger element present, like that there could be an angry dog in the yard or that the youma's attention is bad attention. She also has a habit to get trapped in strangest places like in a cold room of the restaurant or inside someone's car or even inside a mailbox.
Anxious - Cora can't handle pressure well. When she gets in tight spot where she needs to make quick decisions and the pressure gets too high, she either panics and acts without second tought or she might find herself paralyzed, unable to act at all. There is still times when she manages to fight against her arising panic and stay cool and right but those time times are usually just accidents or results of heavy focusing.
This flaw, or should we call it weakness, is troublesome i.e. when she should be an effective guardian cat when a fight is on. Focusing on summoning henshin pens can be hard when there is that nerve-breaking Negaverse energy present.
Challenge: To protect and... Eeek! A monster!
