User ImageName: Niobe

Nicknames: n/a

Breed: Russian Blue

Attached to: General Queen Tanzanite

Alignment: Negaverse

Blood Type: B-

Fav. Food: Steak. Preferably still mooing, but she'll take what she can get. Chicken, pork, meat in general ! She is also quite partial to sweets.

Hated Food: Vegetables. Ugh. She's a cat, not a rabbit !

Hobbies: People-watching -- Humans are fascinating. No, of course you wouldn't understand, but that's fine ! When not patrolling, Niobe has a few favorite spots in Destiny City where she can sit more or less unseen to watch humans go by their daily life. She can spend hours doing this, and it helps that not many people gives a cat much of a second-glance, star-on-forehead or not. She feels it gives her a better understanding of humans and, by relation, the negaverse senshi and the other agents she is meant to assist. So fun and useful all at once, you can't get much better than that. Beside, she might just spot a good target.

Singing -- Through untrained, Niobe has a very lovely voice, and a pull toward music she cannot quite explain – she cannot remember how it started, so she simply accepts it for what it is. She cannot play an instrument, and so she sings instead. Many of those who visit the negaverse subspace might very well hear her voice echoes down the crystal halls – some perhaps never realizing that the singer is a cat, of all things.

The Wide Wild Internets -- If she can ever get access to a computer, she will do her best to exploit it. Niobe likes surfing the net for information, news of Destiny City, and interesting music on youtube - sometimes even interesting comments on youtube. Humans can be so silly... On the internet, no one knows you're a cat ! She doesn't often does a good job actually getting the information she seeks... but she tries !

Warming Laps -- Especially Tanzanite's, but if anyone's sitting down in her vicinity, she'll probably be stamped into their laps within five minutes, unless they're obviously hostile to their presence. Niobe thrives on physical contacts and while some guardian cats might be unhappy with being petted and treated much akin to a normal cat, this one is all but begging for it.

Virtues: Helpful -- Niobe doesn't do things halfway - she will the kind of cat who will seek to give out as many answers as she can provide to any who asks for them, as long as they stay still long enough to listen. She will help an agent take down a senshi if she stumbles into a battle. This doesn't stop at powered-up business, either - if she can feasibly help without wrecking the place, she'll try it. From homework help, to brainstorming, to fetching objects, having a sentient, talking cat around can actually be pretty useful.

Loving -- Hi, my name is Niobe and I Love You. If you are on her side, she will lavish you with as much love, care, and affection that she can possibly conjure (which is a lot, trust me). She'll listen to you whine about how you hate your life for an hour without making a peep, and try to offer you solutions when you're done. Because everyone needs someone to confide in and something warm and furry to snuggle. She's that cat. The only shame is that there's only one of her to go around, in her mind. She finds no shame in being used as a feline pillow, in being cried all over, and to purring all night long, or doing any sort of traditional feline things if it makes you happy. She will gladly sing to anyone who asks. Even to the senshi, she is rarely hostile from the get-go unless attacked, through she is much colder to 'the other side', not even remembering that she was once part of it.

Observant -- Niobe is good at catching the little hints that things aren't as they seem. She is very good at reading people, which comes from observing them so much. Mostly, she's good at reading body language - not to the point that she could guess if they were going out of their way to control it, but enough to pick up hints that others might miss. She has a photographic memory when it comes to people, especially those who catches her interest - she can tell if you got a new haircut. She can tell you've been training because you look a little more buff than she's last seen you. She isn't very suited to actual information-gathering, but she catches physical details most of the time.

Flaws: Personal Bubble ? What's That ? -- Niobe is IN YOUR FACE. Or in your lap. Or on your head. On your shoulder. She doesn't care, as long as she's on you. Nice and warm. She seems very unaware that people have personal spaces, and how to respect them. This is okay if people aren't aware she's anything more than a cat with a funny marking on her forehead. When they realize she's a guardian cat... well, things become pretty different. On that matter, she also doesn't have much of an indoor voice... And she doesn't do subtle very well.

Emotional -- Niobe thinks with her heart and her emotions, and not with her mind. This can make her take the wrong decision, because she wasn't thinking on a logical level, which is especially bad when you might have others looking toward you for guidance. If you're nice with her, she assumes that you're nice with everybody - and isn't quite sure what to do if it is proved otherwise. She is a very emotional person, and something emotionally devastates her, she pretty much becomes useless until she recovers. She is able of logical thinking, but it takes A LOT of effort. And coddling. She's the type of person who will see a agent or corrupted senshi in danger and WILL jump in to help, never stopping to think about the possible consequences, or the fact that she might be outnumbered. Anger is not an emotion that she feels often, but when it does wash upon her, she is very easily enraged into action when it might be better for her to stay her hand.

Meddling -- Niobe wants to help. She really, seriously, just wants to help you. But sometimes, she just wants to help too much. She butts into situations that she has no business butting into, ask for info she has no business knowing, and sees nothing wrong with this. After all, she's just trying to help, how is that a bad thing ? She simply can't grasp that she is being invasive at all.

Challenge: The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out...

PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION : CAT FORM

Face/Ears: Normal for the breed

Body: Again, normal for a female adult cat. The ref below is spot-on for what I want. She's sleek and lean, healthy-looking.

Fur: Hello, pretty kitty. I would like if she was medium-haired rather than short haired, through !

Eyes: Pale, spring green.

Accessories: The star choker she has on her human form, as well as the bracelet on one of her back legs.

PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION : HUMAN FORM

Eyes: Pale, spring green.

Hair: The same grayish blue of her fur in cat form – kept short, with the bangs slighly longer.

Face: Black star in the middle of her forehead. She looks somewhere in her early 20's.

Clothes: See ref ! x3 This is the dress in question, my only requirement is that she should have the colors from the ref I've drawn, and please draw it better than I did. XD

heart would enjoy some crit~
PostPosted: Sun Nov 14, 2010 2:36 pm


Hi Zero! heart I love reading your quests.

I honestly don't have much to say! Ashley is an interesting ball of energy! I just have teeny-tiny questions:

-Is there a reason she likes roller-blades over other fast-paced modes of transport (scooters, skateboards, bicycles)? Like, is it the rush of air in her face and the amazing feeling of propelling herself down a street using her whole body (vs. a bicycle which really just uses legs). In the winter does she keep in practice by ice-skating/speed-skating? Even if it's just going around a rink for fun and doesn't do competitive stuff. OH OH! Does she ever go to roller-disco-dance places or youth roller-derby!? I would be endlessly amused if she used her lacross skills in roller derby XD

- When it comes to lacross, which can get pretty rough sometimes, how does she handle that? I remember hearing she was generally a small person, does she make up in size/strength with agility and her energy? or does she throw herself straight in and takes/gives her all?

-Does she ever use the knives for anything? Or are they purely for show? She doesn't ogle standard kitchen knives does she?

-When it comes to being trustworthy, does she keep secrets no matter what? Even if it's a harmful secret? Like person A is planning to pull a carrie-chocolate syrup bucket bath on person B, would she tell on them? Or keep that kind of secret? And does she expect people to treat her secrets similarly?

That's it!

I wish I was as amazing at crit as you are, seriously. ;; You always help me out so much ! <3 Im glad that you like my characters, since this way to building characters is still pretty new to me !

- Well, scooters is pretty much sitting, so that doesn't let her spend her energy, so that's a no. I guess she'd like biking, but I think it's really more about what you say, about feeling the wind around her and using her whole body. I haven't even thought about ice skating ! She'd probably do speed skating for fun, ill have to add that ! heart Im not too sure about roller disco dances or roller derbys, as I don't think we have things like that where I live, so im clueless XD;

- Def makes it up with agility and energy ! She's also a little reckless, but mostly she doesn't really move the other girls around, but she slides into tights spots easy and runs very, very fast. She's also as aggressive as she can be, which unfortunately isn't much, but she's rather resilient for such a tiny bit of lady. (I need to put down her height somewhere, hmm)

- Nope, knives are for show only. She wouldn't ever fight with them, even if she was given no other option. Beside, she boards at Crystal and her knife collection is home, kept safe by her dad. I should elaborate on her family somewhere... If only to make sure I don't forget stuff. And no, she doesn't ogle kitchen knives. She'll think her butter knife weapon to be utterly lame. XD

- Now that is a good question... I think it would depend on the degree of harmfulness. If it was a prank, she would probably not say a thing, but if someone was planning bodily harm against someone she likes, she would probably warn the other person. Harm against someone she doesn't know/care about, she probably wouldn't say anything either, especially not after being corrupted. She does expect people to keep her secrets as well, and will probably be rather upset if people broke her trust. She definitively wouldn't confide in that person ever again.

Thank you so much ! <3 I really can't wait for Circe to be around, sooo need to steal her for rp~

^___________________^ No problem! I'm glad my curiosity/questioning nature can be made useful. heart

I'm glad you like possibility of adding ice/speed skating. ^_^ I just like it because it makes a semi-seasonal hobby into a year-round possibility. + Speed skating has those awesome spandex suits. I bet DCU would have a speed rink too.

Def will throw Circe your way when she becomes available. I <3 all the Shlipers.

Hi Zero,

Here are a few things that came to mind reading through Tempo's profile.

For Tempo's cooking hobby, I'm assuming that she rarely gets the green light to cook due to the whole guardian cats giving off a massive energy signal in human form making them easy to trace in that form.

A couple of questions:
~ When she does get a chance to cook is there any dish in particular that Tempo really likes to cook.
~ Since cooking is likely a rare treat for her, does Tempo like reading cookery books/ watching cookery programs on TV? If yes, is doing this a sort of substitute for the real thing or just a way of studying new recipes/ learning new cooking techniques etc?

Tempo's hobbies on the whole read fine to me smile

For Tempo's 'Danger ? Pshaw' flaw, are you going for an irresponsible aspect to her? I kind of read it more of a kind of not thinking about possible consequences of action type of flaw, than looking for an adrenaline rush of the next thrill kind of flaw.

Can't really think of anything else to crit as her profile is really well put together and I get a great sense of her personality smile

Hey hey ! <3

To be honest I am thinking about dropping the cooking hobby altogether, it just seems like something she won't get to do all that often (since I doubt Xavier and Bell want their houses to become a hotspot of nega activity, and it's just... not really ic for her to do it often if it annoys them. It was a nice idea but it doesn't work with the character. :> Im not too sure what to put down in it's place instead, but maybe ill't come to me ?

I should probably rewrite that, as I do want to mean an adrenaline rush kind of thing, thank you for telling me about it ! <3

You are so helpful, thank you again ! ;;

Okay, switched cooking for people-watching, and reworded the danger flaw - does this make more sense ?
