Den Crownfield

Name: Den Crownfield

Age: 18

Hair: Raven black with a soft, slightly tousled shine. Tomboyish short. Messy and layered, with choppy angular bangs framing the face and an ahoge at the crown.

Eyes: Striking crimson red, subtle glow in dark environments. Large, angular and sharp, with slight feline qualities including a feline iris. Naturally piercing. Capable of looking mischievous or aloof, depending on her mood.

Features: Den is a 5'3" tall catkin. She looks like a human, though without human ears. She has cat ears and a cat tail - both the same colour and texture as her hair. Her ears have white inner fur and wrap around the sides of her head to where a human's ears would be, and are still atop her head like satellite dishes. Her tail is long and fluffy. Her body type is fit but not athletic. She is incredibly agile and nimble. Her lower half is stronger than her upper half, though she still has the upper body strength to pull herself up pretty easily. Her legs are the most trained limbs, giving them a thicker quality than the average person. She is thicc, including her behind/ass (which is round). Den has an above-average bust size for her size, but her bust size is nowhere near Mayra's.

Personality: Her personality can be defined as being silly, whimsical and somewhat childish. Out of all of her siblings, Den is the most 'feline' out of all of them in behaviour. You'll likely find she makes jokes and looks for fun, but at the same time you'll also likely find her taking a nap on the top of a fridge. Den is a troublemaker, purposely pushing people's buttons to get a reaction out of them. She embraces being short and takes the most of it by being more gremlin than she already is (ankle biter). She can have her serious moments, but generally you will see Den with a bubbly smile. Den will often make banter and quips in battle (and in general too, just for her entertainment). Den is very self conscious of her body type, often taking advantage of her image. Den is very charismatic when needed, this is partially due to her past which she doesn't like to talk about (in her past, she was trained from a young age to be manipulative). Den, oddly, slightly enjoys the sight of blood, not in a fetishist way, but more of an intrigued way. Blood - and the taste of it - interests her; she will swipe up blood from the floor or a wound and lick it from her finger to taste it, or just straight up licking blood from the wound. Den also has a PhD in biology - she was able to attend from a young age - so she is actually really smart and technically a doctor; despite what she may present herself as. Though she doesn't call herself a doctor, she can use it if she wants to (mostly just for jokes). Although she has a doctorate she doesn't tend to call herself by her formal "Dr" name. In fact she doesn't quite like it because it makes her seem professional - but at the same time superior. She doesn't proactively act like a biologist at all, she just has the title and smarts and that is that. She will rarely do experiments. She understands the animal anatomy very well, especially human anatomy. It helps her to know what to heal when healing others via her ability. Den is very cocky and confident in a fight. She can be easily provoked into a fight, but she is not easily made mad. In a fight, Den will casually heal any wound and gloat about it and gloat about that her winning is the only possible outcome of any fight. She is not afraid to lose as she is fully confident that she will win any fight. Den isn't overly horny, she can be frisky but isn't horny for no reason. Den will often randomly incorporate facts about biology and especially anatomy in her speech. She's mildly masochistic, as she enjoys both being degraded but also degrading others - yet she won't get wet over it.

Extra: Her favourite colour is crimson, the same as her eyes and the same as fresh blood. Den is the youngest out of 3 siblings. Her older siblings are Sport (the middle sibling) and Mayra (the eldest). Den loves to piss Sport off. Her fighting style is her own personal mix of taekwondo, kickboxing and using her ability. It incorporates a lot of agility and legwork with more kicks than punches. Her ability is used by using her claws to slice up her enemy and also applying decay to the wounds that she inflicted. Den has a lot of confidence in her older siblings, especially Sport. She thinks that Sport is capable of anything and looks up to him. If Sport is in danger, Den will be positive that Sport will be able to get out of the dangerous situation easily.

Siblings: Sport is a very protective older brother. He is built but not bulky. He generally wears a biker jacket. He has blue quiff hair and is the most human out of the trio. He has a stubble beard. He is 5'8". Sport has the ability called "creation", able to create inorganic objects at will (there is a limit to how much he can make at a time). Mayra is the eldest sibling, she is very chill and calm. She has long, flowing, fluffy purple hair and a huge tail. She's very tall at 6'2". Mayra is curvy but also muscular. Mayra has two abilities, "statue" and "rampage". Her statue ability allows Mayra to turn into a statue at will - it seems like rock but is much more tough; Mayra can't move in this form. Her rampage ability enhances her physical strength at the cost of her mental capability - meaning she becomes rather animalistic in this mode. It burns a lot of energy, so when using her rampage ability Mayra will emit steam and her eyes will glow.

Clothing: She favours tomboyish streetwear, Her hoodie used to be full-black but became how it looked with pink/magenta and white accents because she decided to spice it up a little bit. Den wears a pair of chunky black-and-grey trainers which have thick sole/platform. Her black socks are comfy and long, reaching more than half way up her calf. She has accessorised her socks with magenta straps to keep them held up so the socks don't roll down.

Ability: Regeneration. This allows her to regenerate her body from even the smallest part. If she is fully destroyed (every cell is gone), she dies. But if even one cell is left behind, she can regenerate from that. The regeneration works by rebuilding organic matter (and only organic matter) in layers (i.e. Bones, nerves, veins, organs, muscles, skin, in that order; can be different, but similar for another organism such as a plant). She can use her ability to heal others, she just needs to be touching the person to heal them. If she sees someone she knows and loves is hurt, Den will rush over and heal them. However, she can't heal someone who has had their soul removed from their body - so she can't revive the dead. She'd just make a husk of a person that will die again due to not breathing - as the body doesn't have a soul or mind to tell it to breathe. Whenever she takes damage, Den will heal the wound using her ability. Her ability also has a "reversal" (she calls it that). She also calls it "decay". A sub-ability which acts as a complete reversal to her main ability. It works by destroying organic matter, forcing it to rot and - as the name suggests - decay. She uses decay as an offensive attack, she will use it in fights if she wants to severely damage, wound or kill her opponent.

Catkin aspects: She has enhanced senses, more specifically: enhanced hearing, enhanced sight, and enhanced smell. She can tell if someone's in the room even if it's pitch black. Her teeth are sharp, with large canines. Her nails are claws that can extend if needed, both for her fingernails and toenails. Her claws/nails are naturally black. Her nails look like human nails albeit are sharp, but they can turn into claws. Ability to shapechange into a cat or humanoid.

Catkin species: A shapechanger species which has evolved from a beastkin tribe who used to reside in the early age of Arc's End. Has two forms, which are based off cat breeds; a human form and a cat form. The human form seems to share traits with a beastkin but is able to fully resemble a human if the catkin has the ability to. This ability is like a muscle, it needs to be trained to be able to be achieved. The shapechanger attributes stem from the beastkin tribe using shapechanger magic to the point that their offspring gained the ability to do it naturally. There was some accidental contribution from Gaia (the goddess of nature) for this, as her holy aura reached the tribe due to her presence in (and creation of) Arc's End. This brings the argument that the catkin is an unnatural species made by abnormal means. Although this is partially true, they have learnt to be accepted in the societies that follow Gaia. They have created their own language from the tribe that has passed down through the generations, this language is most easily spoken in a cat form due to the pronunciation using cat vocalisations.

Human form: Their most natural form is similar in appearance to a beastkin apart from the bodily fur due to being closer in physicality to a human. Cat attributes (tail, ears) are representative of their cat breed. Human attributes are affected, such as hair growing quicker for long haired breeds and the hair texture resembling that of the cat breed’s fur. Tail and ears have fur. Ears generally replace the human ears and wrap around the side of the head. When in a fully human form, it takes up energy to keep active. Cat ears and tail aren't on them and they are, physically, a human. Catkin can train their ability to use their fully human form like a muscle. For those who have trained their ability a lot have the energy used to keep the form is reduced.

Feline form: Cat breed is fixed and cannot be altered. This is considered their least natural form (but this can change depending on the person, i.e. a catkin can prefer to be in their feline form over their humanoid form). Catkins do not have the ability to speak other languages in this form until they have matured physically. The language they can speak in this form is the tribe language, passed down through genetic code. This language uses cat vocalizations (including: meows, purrs, chirps, trills, growls, hisses, yowls, and howls) and cat body language (e.g. tail movement/position, fur ruffling, ears angle). The language is learnt very quickly by catkins due to it being in their genetic code and can mildly work with normal cats due to body language. Their tribe language can still be spoken by humanoids. Hand signs can be used to represent the body language and the vocalisations can be recreated. Scars and bodily damage is mirrored between forms. Deeper the scar, less the fur is over the scar. Shallow scars can be mostly covered up by fur. Physically the same as a cat, but generally stronger and more durable. Though still less stronger and less durable than their human form. Specifically Den's feline form is a dusty-black cat with red eyes and short smooth fur.

Religion: Due to her heritage, she passively worships Gaia. She is not extremely devoted, but she sees Gaia as her god. She does know that other gods exist in the world, yet she does not worship them. If she is to say something along the lines of "Oh my God", instead of God she would say "Oh Gaia".
