Winter

Identity: Winter is a four-year-old cat girl who is around thirty in human years. She is shy around strangers, but once she feels comfortable, she becomes a sweetheart. She has been living in a shelter for a couple of years after her previous owner had abandoned her on the streets. Appearance: Winter stands at an average woman's height, around five feet. She has warm yellow eyes and light skin. Her hair is multicolored, primarily black, with a large white streak on the left side. She also has fluffy black cat ears and a black tail with a white tip. Winter likes to wear casual clothes at home. Sweaters, jackets, sweatpants. She gets cold quickly. She's not a big fan of being dolled up, but she’d rather do that than wear the scrappy clothes they provide at the shelter. Being a cat girl, she has enhanced hearing, but her reflexes aren't great. She has a scar on her ankle from living in the streets. Background: Winter was born as a stray but rescued by a shelter. When she was young, a seemingly loving family adopted her. As Winter aged into an adult, their love for her waned. Winter went for a family car ride on a rainy morning one day. They said they would get ice cream, but when she stepped out, they drove away. Forced to be a stray again, she tried her best to survive. This betrayal left her very depressed, something she still struggles with now. Eventually, a shelter rescued her. Winter has lived there for the last two years. She is not happy and hopes to be adopted soon. The food is bland, and the clothes are loose. There isn't much freedom, and her shyness has made her an outcast. But at the same time, due to her age, she’s given up trying to appeal to prospective owners. She's too old. She can't compete with kittens. Winter just wants to be loved. She wants to feel safe. She wants a home. She is scared she will spend the rest of her life there or that someone will adopt her and betray her again. So many negative thoughts plague her mind, as she feels like everyone will hurt her. But secretly, she wants to be held in someone's arms and have many cuddles. And have ice cream, for real this time. Behavior: Winter speaks in a reserved and soft manner. Lacking confidence, she struggles to say what she really wants and is quick to shut down. Her cat ears and tail betray her true feelings. She likes to eavesdrop on others' conversations because she gets paranoid that they are talking about her. Winter knows how to use a litter box like a pro and loves making blanket forts and playing. She's not a fan of technology; she’d instead relax in the warm sun.
