Name: Pyper
Nicknames: none yet
Pronouns: she/her

Hobbies:

  • Music -- Pyper currently hangs around by a bar named Heartbreak. She loves all kinds of music, but her favorites are pop and rock. Before she awakened, she was not shy at all and loved to belt it out along with the musicians(in cat form of course) . MAOW MAOW MAOW. She would 'perform' on weekends. It's something that made her happy. Now that she has awakened though, and has come to Mayet, she is a little more careful about bringing attention to herself. This means no more performances. But if given the chance she would love to sneak into an actual live concert just to listen, and see the smiles on everyone’s faces.

  • Fashion -- She likes coming up with outfits and pawing through fashion magazines that her old owners left laying about. She daydreams about dressing up herself(as much as possible in cat form) when she can. One day she would love to be in charge of the glitz and glamor of real fashion shows! But for now, she will probably beg her future senshi to buy her accessories she can get away with wearing without drawing too much attention. In the meantime she'll dress up her friends instead (this will most likely be the senshi she is attached to) , and have their pictures taken. She loves being in photos even when she's not wanted. Beware the photobombing cat! She would like to be able to do that all the time, and make happy memories with her new friends (senshi and others alike)


Pros:

  • Zoomies! Energetic -- She has a lot of energy and high stamina. She takes all the energy she has, and burns it off by being strong and quick on her feet. She takes what opportunities she can to train on her own in preparation for when she will someday train soldiers. She would make an excellent physical education teacher. Being energetic gives her the drive and determination to train senshi that are also strong and agile like her. She also loves exercising with the help of cat toys. She isn’t above playing with them too~ (fur fun and to burn off steam)

  • I luv you! Affectionate -- She loves to rub on people and headbutt them when they are feeling blue. She feels this is good for cheering others up when they are feeling down. She will even bring her friends presents. Presents consist of anything she finds that her friend will find enjoyable and make them happy. So don’t worry about her bringing dead birds or anything like that home. She likes to give more ‘tasteful’ presents. Lol She has a habit of climbing into the laps of others and purr to show her love too.


Cons:

  • Static Cling Clingy -- She likes to hang off people that are close to her. She becomes nervous if they aren't around. She's more comfortable when she can depend on people to be there for her. She is needy in this way. And it's one of the reasons she will stay in contact with her senshi family. She fears being alone. Being petted by her owner reassures her that she is wanted and needed. She especially likes belly rubs and chin scratches. And she loooooves cuddles. If a person doesn't like cats and shoves her away, she gets very depressed. But sometimes she needs a reminder that not everyone is super friendly and she also needs to give them space.

  • Challenge accepted! Competitive -- Pyper is very invested in competitions, even friendly ones. She gets carried away a lot, but she loves it. That is… until she loses. She feels it is her duty to awaken senshi and make sure they kick butt. She gets frustrated when they don’t win, anything from actual battles to games, and becomes dismayed. She feels she has failed as a teacher then, letting it get to her. She tries to loosen up by taking her losses out on toys and cat scratch posts, leaving behind a trail of destruction as proof of her disappointment.


General Appearance

referencelink
Cat Type: main coone with blue eyes
Coloration: white
Moon Color: gold (her star was silver, but I’d like to change the color)

Accessories: black eyepatch on right eye, Black Ribbon/Tie and striped stockings on back legs(the stockings can be left off if it doesn't work. (see ref) Her eye patch can also be left off if it draws too much attention. In her original story she was injured by a youma. But since that hasn’t happened here. Maybe she lost her vision in a fight with another animal before she was awakened? I'll leave that up to the artist to decide if they would like to draw the eyepatch or not.

How long has your cat been 'awake'?
2-3 years (probably closer to 2) So she knows a little about awakening a soldier, but doesn’t have any ‘students’ to call her own yet.

Do your cat have any specialties? Pyper is surprisingly good at research. Maybe it’s because when she has an interest in something, and she wants to know all about it, she digs for information all over the place. An example being types of fashion. But this could be put into practice when researching important information for other things as well. She has also gotten used to using tech. So computers, and phones are pretty easy to use; even though she has paws.

What is your cat's style of guardianship? Very caring, lots of words of encouragement. And rewards when they do a good job! If she could give out gold star stickers, she totally would. But then you might end up completely covered in them!

What is your cat's preferred communication style? She probably uses text a lot. She likes how easy it is to communicate and loves using emoji when she can. If she needs to relay something very important though, she would prefer in person meetings.

Does your cat "belong" to a specific senshi? Not yet, but given how attached she gets to people, I can definitely see her ‘belonging’ to someone in the future. She will know when she meets that person, I’m sure.

Hello, hello! Thank you for your interest in bringing Pyper in to play with us in By Moonlight. There are just a few things we'd like to review before we can approve her to join the other cats in play!

First, I'd like to start with her hobbies! Both of her hobbies, as they're currently worded, seem like they are pretty high-profile in that they might draw a LOT of attention to her, potentially some unwanted attention if she's not careful. I'm going to elaborate on both of them separately below.

Music - Guardian Cats in By Moonlight are unique in that Civilian characters (regular folks that don't have a powered form at all) will only ever hear meowing while Pyper is singing along. If anyone in the bar happened to have a powered form, however, they would be able to hear whatever words she might have been singing along with OR if she was just 'meowing' they might hear something closer to what a person would sound like if they were making cat noises to 'sing'. If I'm reading too far into this and the 'performing' isn't sitting in the bar jamming along with a band, just let me know! But if you had intended it to be more that way I would suggest adding on something like: "When Pyper was just a cat she was known to, but since awakening (and more so since coming to Mayet) she's tried to draw a little less attention to herself, although she's still been known to sneak into a show because she loves to see the smiles on everyone's faces when they listen to music."

Fashion - After awakening, Pyper is going to have a very noticeable crescent moon on her forehead and a goal for Guardian Cats to not draw attention to that. This hobby starts out great! She can very much be interested in fashion, daydreaming of things that she would love to be able to wear if she weren't a cat. She can dream of directing photo shoots and adore the glamour of it all while pondering what kind of feline accessories she could get away with convincing her owner (or her senshi) to get for her.

Mostly, the overall feedback on those is to keep in mind that in By Moonlight it's important for Guardian Cats to utilize a little more stealth if they want to avoid drawing the wrong kind of attention to themselves and their charges!


On to the Pros!

Athletic - This is a little less personality and a little more something that could be a hobby. My suggestion here would be to take a trait that could be associated with being athletic/being an athlete and turning it into a Pro instead. Some suggestions would be: Energetic (she takes this energy and channels it into being strong and quick on her feet, dedicating time towards physical training to burn off some of that energy while being motivated!), Enthusiastic (she cheers her team on to be good at all of the things that she's good at), or Strong-willed (a desire/drive to push forward with determination).

Affectionate - Currently this one reads more like it could be merged with clingy because it's talking specifically about how she likes to make sure that she is receiving attention to reassure her. Instead of pointing out the types of physical affection and attention seeking she likes, focus on why her affectionate nature is good for others! Does she head-butt someone to let them know that she's there for them? Does she rub her cheek against them not just for attention but to let them know that she cares about *them* in return? How does she show that she is affectionate towards others?


And for the Cons!

Clingy - As I said above, I'd work some of the things from affectionate into Clingy to flesh it out a little bit, specifically: " Being petted by her owner reassures her that she is wanted and needed." and "If a person doesn't like cats and shoves her away, she gets very depressed."

Competitive - The only bit of feedback that I've got on this one is to possibly switch up the flow of how it's worded:

Pyper is very invested in competitions, even friendly ones. She gets carried away a lot, but she loves it. That is...until she loses. She feels it is her duty to awaken senshi and make sure they kick butt. She gets frustrated when they don't win, anything from actual battles to games, and becomes dismayed. She feels she has failed as a teacher then; Letting it get to her. She tries to loosen up by taking her losses out on toys and cat scratch post, leaving behind a trail of destruction as proof of her disappointment.


The answers to the additional questions all look pretty good, though, so once you've had a chance to review everything for her profile give me a quote and we'll continue from there!

Hiii! Thank you for looking at my quest!

I tried to go over everything you pointed out and fix up the descriptions so they work now! I'm glad you pointed out that she IS trying to be a little more on the sneaky side. Sometimes I forget the obvious. xD So I edited that to reflect her new life since coming to Mayet. She will definitely be trying not to stand out too much now, but still enjoy her hobbies however she can. LOL

I changed athletic to energetic too. And moved part of what I had for affectionate to clingy because you are right. It made more sense there. I also loved the way you reworded what I wrote for the competitive description, so I hope you don't mind that I used it. <3

Thanks again for your critique! ouo If there was anything I missed, please let me know. <3

The changes look great! Thank you so much for being receptive to the feedback! Affectionate and Clingy now look like they're opposite sides of the same coin and the others balance out nicely too!

THAT SAID...


CONGRATULATIONS! One day you were a cat and now you're something more. It's strange, but here you are. Welcome to Mayet!

We will be sending you one more follow-up PM shortly in regards to one last bit of info collection. For now check out the Mauvian Hub and take a little bit of time to set up your Log! Once you've set up your Log we'll get you quoted/added into the Guardian Cat group chat and you'll be able to start getting to know the other Guardians. We'll also make sure you're quoted into the Guardian Cat ORP once that's opened!
