Welcome to Gaia! ::

Name: Dalgona

Nickname: Everyday Sato wakes up and chooses violence- and a new nickname for granny every day, including Dalgo, Dango, and Milky- this child seems to refuse to call her by her actual name. Also, ofc varying forms of ‘gramma’/’granny’ including ‘meemaw’, ‘obaachan’, and ‘halmi’

Gender/Pronoun: Female, she/her

Breed: Lilac Mitted Ragdoll (or Lilac Cream? Looks like this either way)

Fav. Food: Dalgona coffee, also the dalgona candy. (is this considered cannibalism maybe)

Hated Food: Bugs. No, she will not catch that moth flying around, do not degrade her like that

Hobbies:

my oshi’s #1 fan is a talking cat!? (mentoring??) – Before she came into her duties as a Guardian Cat, Dalgona used to live with a Japanese-Korean ex-underground idol, who long since faded into obscurity after she retired from the entertainment industry. Despite that, and in spite of her own lack of interest in idols herself, somehow Dalgona met her match in the form of a tiny Mauvian who happened to piece together via social media posts that Dalgona was the cat belonging to said ex-idol. Although she already had her hands paws full with playing mentor and babysitter to the twins Nemuri and Satori, she found herself suddenly thrust into the role of ‘mentor in all things idol’ to Rune as well. One thing led to another, and somehow with the combined efforts of both Rune and Tochi, Dalgona further got roped into adopting a vtuber persona as well, where she occasionally joins the two in collabs, usually just discussing the idol industry, but also (despite her insistence that she herself was incapable of carrying a tune), karaoke as well.

happy synthesizer, this melody is for you (vtubing) – With the combined efforts of Rune and Tochi, Dalgona somehow became conscripted into joining the ranks of their little indie vtuber group, taking on the name ‘Minou’, which… just means ‘cat’, but then she’s a catgirl vtuber, so somehow it works out. While a cat playing a catgirl vtuber named ‘cat’ is a little on the nose, Dalgona prefers simplicity, and the oversaturation of catgirl vtubers already out there makes it inconspicuous enough as it is. Dalgona mainly just does zatsudan streams, such as plain Just Chatting streams (where she talks about her “friend’s” experience as an underground idol), combined with some mild ASMR on the storytelling side, and then a side of short streams of classic/retro video games during her limited time in her human civilian glamour, preferably things she can either beat in one hour, or games she can break up into doing one level per stream, unintentionally leading to her gaining a reputation for speedrunning. Although she will insist up and down that she can’t carry a tune, occasionally she gets strongarmed into doing guerilla karaoke streams whenever chat bullies her enough (or Tochi and Rune rope her into it).

nature vs nurture (...child-rearing? {citation needed}) – Dalgona knows absolute jack about how to raise children, and if she had any experience in a previous lifetime she’s forgotten, but seeing as she’s suddenly had two young senshi placed into her care, the Mauvian has dedicated herself to being the best feline caretaker a talking cat can be, to set her young charges on the right path to grow into respectable young adults. This doesn’t just apply to the twins of course- Dalgona loves children- children are the future! Or at least that’s what she tells herself. Her patience runs a little thin sometimes with the more unruly sort, but having seen her former owner through her adolescence into her adult years, up until the point where fate led her to crossing paths with the Shirogane twins, Dalgona feels that watching small children run around and play gives her a new perspective on life… at least, up until the part where her current pet project, Satori, runs off and does something dangerous, requiring the need to go chasing after her young charge. She can fix Satori. Starting this young will surely curb bad behavior before it gets worse. Dalgona refuses to admit she’s in over her paws with that one- it's just one child, how hard can it be, really?


Virtues:

prideful – Pride is a sin, or so meemaw will always declare, while also swearing up and down she doesn’t play favorites. That said, she has a certain fondness for those in her care, and for those she forms a close bond to in general. She can’t help but be proud of any accomplishments her loved ones achieved, no matter how big or small, and will go on endlessly about it to anyone who will listen like a proud parent… or granny, in this case. Not to toot her own horn, but like, while Dalgona will never steal anyone’s thunder and take full credit for anything, she does get the warm fuzzies when someone acknowledges her involvement.

patient – Patience is a virtue! Good things come to those who wait! Getting into this senshi raising business has taught Dalgona the value of playing the long game, especially when it comes to one of the senshi under her tutelage. These things take time, especially when one of her senshi is a troublemaker that she is determined to set straight onto the right path, and granny will wait as long as it takes, because she doesn’t believe in setting deadlines on these things. It might just be the hopium speaking, but Dalgona certainly believes in the age old adage of ‘if at first you don’t succeed, try try again’... or ‘Rome wasn’t built in a day’; she certainly knows not to expect instant results, that these things take time, and oh, she’s just kind of repeating herself at this point, isn’t she? Well, you get the idea.

dedicated -- Once Dalgona has someone that she likes and trusts, she’s determined to stick with them through thick and thin, the good and the bad all together. Her loyalty to her loved ones is unwavering, even if her patience gets tested at times, and while she will insist she doesn’t play favorites, Dalgona can often be found gushing on about their accomplishments much in the same manner as a proud parent would at times. You are the perfect, ultimate idol, never to appear again, the reincarnation of the first star at night, and to take use a term from her kaigai idol days (or Rune’s vtuber lexicon), you are her ‘kamioshi’… though she might have to take a rain check on waving those lightsticks for you.

Flaws:

okay grandma let’s get you to bed – Dalgona isn’t quite a senior cat- she’ll argue about the technicalities about what age a cat is considered a senior, and how the years she spent pre-awakening don’t count. At the same time, when surrounded by youngsters, especially the two children in her charge, and having to mentor a much younger Mauvian, she certainly feels like a fossil and much older than she really is. Please, slow down for Granny Dalgona, she can’t keep up… Although her fur is already naturally some shade of silver (or a color that’s close enough to silver), Dalgona certainly feels sometimes like it would go even more gray trying to keep up with all the younglings these days, having previously been used to a slow comfy life as a pampered housecat. While awakening as a Mauvian has instilled in her a certain second wind of youthfulness, she certainly feels her real age at times, and has earned herself the moniker of ‘granny Dalgona’, which. She would prefer you didn’t, but it does have a certain truth to it?

She can come across as forgetful or unreliable, sometimes pushing herself beyond her limits, to where she exhausts herself because she doesn't seem to even know her own limitations. In addition, Dalgona often puts herself in situations where she is disadvantaged, endangered, or uncomfortable because she is trying to keep up with others and doesn't know when to step back even when she is a liability.

am i out of touch? No, it’s the children who are wrong – you can’t teach an old dog new tricks. You also can’t expect an old cat to learn how to adapt to modern times and the technology of today, and especially not modern slang, at least not right away. What is an ‘amongus’ and what does it mean by ‘sus’? When they go ‘WHAT WAS HE COOKING 🔥🔥🔥’, does it not mean they are actually cooking in the kitchen? And ‘tiktok’ isn’t simply the sound of a clock ticking? Hang on, granny needs to go lie down. She gets frustrated easily at things she doesn't understand, with this catching up with the times and all, and is prone to shutting down when overwhelmed with too much info to process. While Dalgona won't necessarily lash out at others, she can sometimes be found requesting that people break things down for her in a way that's easier for her to understand... or rephrase things for her to match the so-called 'archaic' way that she is familiar with.

this is fine. I'm okay with the events that are unfolding currently -- Dalgona does her best to be a good mentor and guardian to both Rune and the twins. At the same time, as a rookie Mauvian who came into the scene a couple years too late to n** potential problems in the bud before they started, Dalgona has her hands paws full dealing with two small children, one who likes to pray pranks, the other who seems like she’d be scared of her own shadow, as well as trying to field every question about idols thrown her way by Rune. While Dalgona would like to insist she has things under control, she’s quick to cave under pressure, and struggles to stick to her own choices. Even without the twins around to influence her, meemaw can come across as being seen as unreliable because of said way she can be easily bullied into changing her plans to accommodate others', to where it could be seen as perhaps that she isn't fully committed, or that she (in spite of her insistence that she does not) does indeed play favorites.
