Profile

Appearance: Mae is a dark blue cat, known for her vibrant yet faded red hair atop her head. Her large, captivating red eyes complement her distinctive look, while a notch in her right ear—left by a dog attack—adds to her unique character. Her body showcases pronounced curves, with a fuller bust and rounded hips that create an hourglass shape. Despite her smaller height, her thickness can add to her overall presence, giving her a striking silhouette. Her arms and legs may also have soft curves, contributing to a feminine appeal, while her waist might be narrower, accentuating her shape with a big butt. Like, a MASSIVE butt. When she dances, her butt claps. When she twerks, her butt claps a lot. Mae often dons an orange shirt with red sleeves featuring a slashed zero design, paired with dark grey jeans and her signature cheap green-ish knock-off Doc Martens. Although she considers herself shorter and overweight, her grandfather’s description of her as “sturdy” sticks with her.

Despite her playful exterior, she grapples with depression and anger issues, stemming from a dissociative episode referred to as “the Incident.” Her journey is marked by a mix of self-deprecating humor and deep compassion, illustrating a character who cares deeply for her friends and often grapples with her troubled past. Mae is nostalgic about her hometown and often reflects on how much Possum Springs has changed since her college days.
