Elisabetta The Guardian Cat!
PostPosted: Thu Apr 21, 2011 11:10 pm


Name: Elisabetta Frangipani Francisca Gisella II.
(okay so her name's just Elisabetta. She made up the rest because having ONE name? how lame)

Nicknames: Do not call her lizzy. Just don't.
She will, however, accept "Elise" pronounced "ee - leez."
She's very sensitive about her name.
anything else will be gained through RP.

Breed: Domestic Long Hair : xxx

Attached to: Tony. You know which one BT

Alignment: Senshi

Blood Type: B-

Fav. Food: Croissants, especially chocolate ones. Any type of fish is a crowd favorite as well.

Hated Food: Tuna. It's so ... unrefined.

Hobbies:
Music: Elisabetta loves to listen to music, but not just any type of music. She's rather picky, actually. None of that upbeat pop stuff, or that loud screamo music. No, Elisabetta needs something as sophisticated as herself; classical music. Occasionally she will go for jazz and the like, but classical music is where her true heart lies.

Sun-napping: Every true lady needs her beauty sleep! What better place to achieve this sleep than under a beam of sun? She doesn't necessarily stay indoors either; have you ever tried a nap in the middle of a dainty patch of grass in the middle of summer? Absolutely divine. For this reason, she also enjoys warm fires (in the fireplace, of course), and can often be seen sleeping in oddest of places just to get that perfect sunbeam.

Walk me!: Elisabetta likes to take "a ladylike, leisurely stroll in the park" like everyone else. She developed a love of taking walks, much like a dog loves playing fetch. She is a bit of a 'fraidy cat (though she'd never admit it), and mostly only sticks to paths she knows (this is, of course, unless a senshi needed her help). Taking walks with other people is always the bee's knees, but she can occasionally be seen "walking herself."

Virtues:
The Aura of Sophistication: Elisabetta won't run around climbing on you or scream loudly, or meow in the middle of the night because she's hungry. She believes in proper manners and etiquette, and because of this, Elise tends to have a sophisticated feel to her. She's very ladylike and proper, and it shows. Composition is the key to any lady, in her opinion, and the more elegant, the better. Lace, pearls, crowns, it's all her forte.

Not that street!: Elisabetta has quite a bit of bulk in her brain. Some of it comes from all the excited erudite conversations she hears in the library, but she's also pretty street smart. She knows, in general, the shady parts of town to avoid. Obviously she doesn't have the entire city mapped out, but she can tell you not to go around "this" part of town or "that" part of town. Elise also knows how to cajole various strangers into giving her food, and which strangers to stay away from. Overall, she's quick on the draw in most situations, except of course, when she's in the dark. Then she's paralyzed and nothing comes to mind at all.

Stop panicking and do this: Got a B on that test instead of an A? Recently found out you're a senshi, and you're freaking? Giant purple phoenix dragon with the soul of a general-king, a general and a youma in it? No problem. Well, it's actually a very big problem, but you'll never find Elisabetta freaking out about it. She's the type who keeps her cool in most situations. When little Suzy is crying about her lollipop, Elise is already on the lookout for a candy shop. For the most part, Elisabetta accepts what she's given and works with it.

You will be king of the moon!: Elisabetta has high expectations for EVERY one of her senshis. They will all become eternal, they will all defeat the general-kings, they will graduate top of their class (even if some of them are in the same class!) and more. She wants to do everything in her power to help them achieve these goals, so she's not too unwilling to help you on your math homework if you're struggling in math (one plus one is fish, right?), or find you a sparring youma if your battle skills need some upgrading. She's one big helping paw, and will poke you in the face with it constantly.

Flaws:
I AM The Queen Here: Elise is better than you. Having four paws is waaay better than two hands. She knows all about history, and you most certainly do not. Unfortunately, Elisabetta sort of thinks the world revolves around her. Rather, she thinks everyone is below her, and as such, should do what she says. She'll be your helping hand, but realize that you'll never rise to her standards. She has a bit of a superiority complex, but hasn't really realized it herself.

You will be king of the moon!: Elisabetta has exceedingly high expectations for you, and you will fulfill them. She hates failure in any sense of the word, and giving up is simply out of the question. When her expectations aren't met, you can bet on either a harpy reincarnated into a small, pudgy cat, or a never ending meow at your doorstep demanding to be let in so she can help you. After she's gotten the fury out of her system, she will stick by you side until you get things done. If you're failing your math class, you can bet she will show up in your room every day sitting on top of your textbook just waiting for you.

Move over there, NOW: She is her own world's little queen, and queens are always the boss, right? Elisabetta tends to say things more like orders than requests. It won't be "could you get that book for me?" it will be, "pick up that book. Hurry up." Giant youma coming towards you? She will tell you her plan and expect you to follow along piece by piece. Improvising is out of the question. If you do improvise, and your way works, she will simply say a sort of "oh yes, that's what I was expecting you to do. She can come off as rather snooty and bossy expecting to get her way all the time. If you do ignore her, let the lord have mercy on your soul because she will unleash her (ladylike, of course) hellfire on you. She's definitely the type to hold grudges.

I am never wrong. Ever: It's true of course, isn't it? Elisabetta is never ever wrong. If she said apples were rainbow, that must mean they're rainbow. She absolutely hates admitting she's wrong, and won't if she can help it. She's the type to argue a lot until her point is at least semi-important. Two plus two doesn't equal fish? Well if you combine two twos, then you get a shape like fish. That's obviously what she meant. Elisabetta doesn't realize how stupid she makes herself sound sometimes. When proven wrong humiliatingly, she often just runs off or throws a fit.

User ImageChallenge: Your queen is here!

PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION : CAT FORM

Face/Ears: Fluffy is definitely the key word. Ears are normal, save for a teensy scar on the left one (see post below).

Body: Adult. A little pudgy, but not like OMGWTF overweight. Should be lithe enough for running around, but pudgy enough that you know it's a domestic cat, not a stray (I hope that makes sense).

Fur: Black as an emo kid's heart (I kid). Star on the forehead is blue like in this image

Eyes: Blue? Light purple? Artist's choice!

Accessories: Perhaps a blue ribbon, same color as her star, around her neck.
Maybe a little white star in the middle of the ribbon?

References:
Basically this with white eyes and the accessories listed above: xxx

PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION : HUMAN FORM

Eyes: Blue? Light purple? I dunno! Artist's choice <3

Hair: Long curly black hair, sort of like the checkmate void's hair, but black.

Face: All up to artist o 3o

Clothes: totally up to the artist. it should be mainly black and white, with touches the blue color in this image. in fact, i really love that image xD
Regardless, I'm leaving it very open to artist's decisions o u o
Should be something fun that she can move around in, but still sort of girly.

Skin: ((i know it wasnt on the form, but i wanted to add it)) a darkish, arabian sort of tan

EXTRAS POST!

Scratch on dat ear: She has a permanent scratch or chunk taken from her ear from a run in with a negaverse agent forever ago. This is part of the reason why Elise fights the negaverse so avidly. So far, she has seen no kind negaverse. They've only caused pain. In her opinion, they must be stopped, and that's that. End of story.

Is she bit of a stickler about it all? Yes, but not everyone thinks the negaverse can be saved.

She looks very cute and I'm not really good at critting, I just had to comment on the one thing jumped out at me that I thought I'd toss in.

How is she such an avid reader if she's nearly blind? I'd hate to say that handicapped people aren't capable, because that's not what I mean at all, but it seems like... she has next to no real trouble due to her very serious handicap other then being stuck inside at night.

How does she avoid being hit by cars? Since she doesn't have the good eyesight is her sense of direction ('not that street') completely reliant on having visited these places many times before?

That said, how does she SEE that her senshi are following her orders or going against her in a battle.

I think blindness could be a good character thing to play with if someone really wants to put the effort and work into it. I just.. don't see how it works with the rest of the way she's been written currently. But maybe I'm missing/misreading things?

dude. blindness and reading did not connect in my mind at all rofl
I AM STUPID.
gonna rewrite her a different hobby, or maybe someone will read it to her, i dunno o 3o xD

HOWEVER the other stuff i can answer o u o

you have to remember that except for her human form, which comes at the "eternal" stage, she'll be in cat form most of the time. while cats DO use their eyes a lot, most of their "vision" (from what ive been researching?) is dependent on, like dogs, their sense of smell and hearing. That being said, elisabetta has acute hearing and smelling, theres nothing wrong in that department.

for the most part, elisabetta will avoid heavy streets. part of her "street smart" is knowing where those big heavy streets are. and cars are extremely loud and emit gas, so that combined with her fuzzy shape day vision will form a sense of "oh, there is a car there." she can't just dodge the cars obviously, and will most likely just scamper elsewhere to a less busy part of the street.

also, since most of her rps will involve senshis or at least some type of humanoid, she can nudge them or (if no one is around) just say "pick me up and lets go."

the "vision" through hearing and smelling is applied to the senshi thing as well. plus, since shes a guardian cat she will have energy singles as well that help her. as for youma, she can probably tell if a big hulking monster is coming towards her just by the fuzzyish shape of it and the sound. aka "big square is coming towards me" leads to "dodge big square"

i hope i explained that well enough, and thanks so much for the crit ! <333
it was definitely useful o 3o

Unless people specifically ask me to criticize their quests, I default to the stamp based on whether or not the profile meets our minimum standards! I do have a few notes for you though.

I know you made Elisabetta blind -- but why? Blindness is a serious physical handicap, and unless it enhances the character in a really significant way, I would caution you to stay away from it. However, if blindness provides a really unique characterization in your mind, then you can certainly stick with it. You will just need to do a lot of research to determine how blindness might severely affect a person -- even a guardian cat -- both in life and in battle.

This virtue doesn't really flow and seems to be three virtues under the wrong heading. This seems to be about her being smart, observant, and manipulative. I would go back and either make this entirely about how she is people-smart in addition to knowing her way around the city really well, or split it into her being situationally observant and persuasive. Or something.

Also -- why does she ONLY listen to Chaonis? That is a red herring that I don't really understand.
