Nepeta

Nepeta is a troll. She has pale gray skin, short black hair, a long blue cat tail, and orange horns that resemble cat ears. She wears a black shirt with a green Leo (♌️) symbol on it, a long olive green coat, dark gray pants, and blue shoes. She has a blue beanie with a cat face on it.

Nepeta likes friendly roleplaying, though not the dangerous kind that caused a certain debacle which hurt a couple of people. She has a naïve view of everything. She lives in a cave and hunts and eats animals, then occasionally wears their fur and paints with their blood. In fact, she uses this blood along with soot and ash to create wall art, such as storyboards for a comic and her shipping wall.

Nepeta seems to have a lot of similarities with Kanaya, which may or may not be significant. They (despite Hussie's noted lack of perfect analogues) have blood colors closer to jade than any of the other post-scratch trolls. Both of them are also green-blooded middle-caste trolls with friends on either side of the blood spectrum whose relationships they observe and moderate to some degree. (Kanaya is the meddler, and Nepeta keeps a shipping wall while being generally agreeable to everyone.) Nepeta was the one to see Aradia and Equius's kiss, and Kanaya was the one to see Vriska kiss a helpless Tavros. Although Kanaya reacted with shock (due to her mating fondness for Vriska), Nepeta just updated her shipping wall.

She held conversations with Terezi in which the two of them roleplayed. Nepeta roleplays as a two-mouthed feline anthropomorph (similar to Jade's fascination with furry fandom). Her feline hunting roleplays are linked to her real-life routine.

Nepeta also has an interest in drawing comics on her walls depicting tales from her hunts, as well as stories involving her and her friends. One wall is her shipping wall, where she keeps track of potential and confirmed relationships between her friends (including herself). Once in the veil, she recreates her shipping wall to a larger scale, but doesn't want to update it to accommodate the grisly developments of late.

According to Jasprosesprite^2, Nepeta's interest in shipping stems from her own loneliness as it makes her feel less alone. Shipping might have been a coping mechanism, since she lived isolated from other trolls and had an unrequited flushed crush. It's unknown how Jasprosesprite^2 knows about Nepeta's feelings, however Nepeta and Jaspersprite openly talked quite a few times, and it is possible that Nepeta confessed it during these conversations.
