-Characters-


Wondering about the characters I draw? You're in the right place! I have a lot of original characters, but you can find the profiles of my most frequently drawn ones below. :)

About my cat people: These guys are one big happy family. Well, most of the time. All of them started out as real cats and, over the years, became anthropomorphic. These days I tend to draw them mostly human.


-Atropos-
Age: 18
Sex: female
Birthday: July 24
Height: 5'11"
Created: 2001

Atropos is fairly down-to-earth. She's quiet but not shy, and has no trouble speaking her mind when she has something to say. She loves to read, is a deep thinker, and spends a lot of time by herself, although it's not for lack of company. It's rare to see Atropos angry, although she has a rather mean sarcastic streak and a quick wit that isn't nice to be on the receiving end of if you piss her off.

Atropos is my favorite and most frequently-drawn female character. I named her after one of the Fates. She used to have an identical twin sister named Clotho, but I scrapped that character almost as soon as I created her. :) Atropos has gone through the most design changes of any of my characters, but has consistantly kept a mostly black- or white-based color scheme of some kind.


-Sasamma (Sam)-
Age: 17
Sex: male
Birthday: August 12
Height: 5'8"
Created: 2001

Sam is sweet, sincere, law-abiding and almost irritatingly preppy. He loves to be around people, and is charming and cheerful without fail. Sam is generally well-loved, and is disliked only for his excessively boyscout-like attitude. Sam is hopelessly naiive and, as a result, very gullible- he trusts people too much and gets hurt a lot, although his overprotective older siblings try to steer him out of danger where possible.

Annoyingly quirky Sam charmed his way into my heart the very day I created him. He remains my favorite character to this day, despite having a personality I would have little patience for in a real person. He often comes drawn with scarves, cute hats and sweater vests, and I can't help but love him in spite of myself. Sam's brightly colored, nature-defying, eccentric color scheme is something I'm unable to change. He likes his purple hair, what can I say? :)


-Vespey-
Age: 15
Sex: female
Birthday: November 5
Height: 5'5"
Created: late 2001

Vespey wants to be a pirate wench. The four have always lived by the coast and Vespey has been fascinated by the ocean (and pirates!) for as long as she can remember. She's a bit of a loose cannon, acting on crazy whims and saying anything that comes into her head. She has an odd assortment of hobbies including boating, inventing explosive things, cooking, sewing and wearing lolita dresses. She's actually very talented at a number of things but never stays focused on one long enough for it to ammount to anything.

Vespey is the youngest of the four and also the last one I created, for the purpose of rounding out the family. She's also the most neglected (oops). Vespey's current design is about a year old (fairly recent) and I'm proud of finally finding one that works with her personality. Go dreads!


-Kuyno-
Age: 19
Sex: male
Birthday: May (?)
Height: 6'1"
Created: late 2001

Kuyno is the above three's adopted brother. He's deeply serious and takes everything with a businesslike attitude; as a result, he can seem intimidating and unfriendly. The truth is that Kuyno does nothing with half his heart. He's the oldest of the four and is very passionate about his family, as he had none for the first 12 years of his life. Sam met Kuyno on the street one day when he'd wandered off and ended up inviting the complete stranger for Thanksgiving dinner, much to the dismay of his housemates.

Kuyno was a bit of an enigma at first, and I had him for a while before I realized that the reason why I couldn't figure out his personality was because enigmatic was his personality, and he was so antisocial he wouldn't help me out! :) Very few of my characters have intentionally created personalities- they seem to develop their own over the years as I draw them. Actually, Kuyno was pretty stubborn overall- he wouldn't take any of the designs I wanted to give him, either. :) Kuyno's cat form is a siamese.


-Tai and Kai-
Age: 19
Sex: both male
Birthday: July 6
Height: 5'8"ish
Created: 2004

Tai and Kai are fraternal twins and the above four's distant cousins. They attended boarding school for many years, coming home during the summer to visit their unstable mother, who finally kicked them out of the house a year before they graduated. Kai is the more grounded of the two, is studious and hard working, and always thinks of everyone else before himself. He is skilled at making the best of a bad situation, and takes on extra jobs whenever he can to earn a little extra money. Tai, on the other hand, is street smart but easily depressed. He hates having to rely on anyone, but often has no choice due to various health problems. Tai despises pity and charity and his greatest wish is to be independent.



The boys have lives beset with misery. I love angst, can you tell? :) I created Tai and Kai as add-ons to the family a few years after the others (because I wanted to draw some hot twins- shh!). They've quickly become some of my favorites to draw, and you'll usually see them together. By-the-by, the boys have matching tattoos on the sides of their torsos of the gemini symbol (looks like a roman numeral number 2). Both of them are cougars in their cat forms, although I've never actually drawn them that way.


-Eden-
Age: 20ish
Sex: male
Birthday: ??
Height: 5'10"
Created: 2006

Eden is someone I literally dreamt up, and for a while I just called him "rainbow umbrella boy" because, well, he had one in the dream. He's a bit mysterious. Because Eden started out as an idea rather than a drawing I gave a name to, I don't have a strong visual of him. Regardless, he's very tangible in my mind and I have the feeling I'll know when I get him right. Needless to say, he's particularly difficult to draw (hence the lack of pictures). He's rather more of a muse than a functional character at the moment. :)


Other characters you may see:

-Aini Saire- an elf girl of mine who featured in a crappy story I wrote a long time ago. I still draw her sometimes.
-Tokoharu, Sindrac, Zulve, SnowBlossom- roommates of my cat family (they have a large house). All animal people: goat, bat, cat and bunny, respectively.
-Xenshia (Xen)- the little ghost girl who haunts the house.
