nepeta leijon !!! ヾ(•ω•`)o

Nepeta likes friendly roleplaying, though not the dangerous kind that caused a certain debacle which caused severe disabilities within a couple of people (all by accident.) 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 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).

Her typing quirk consists of using :3 , or :33, generally used as a smiley reminiscent of a cat face.. :33 also represents the face of her two-mouthed feline lusus. She occasionally changes these to form different facial expressions. She replaces syllables of words with feline-related homophones respectively. Instances of double e's in a word, such as "sleepy", are replaced by double 3's (producing sl33py), but she otherwise does not use letter substitution. She also replaces the letter e with 3 , such as : lik3. Her actions are described in third person. Nepeta enjoys a hobby of guessing and tracking different relationships with her shipping walls. Her shipping wall on Alternia lists all possible redrom combinations, while her shipping wall in the Veil includes only contemporaneous known and suspected relationships (Trolls understanding of romance is divided into halves, and halved again, producing four quadrants: the FLUSHED QUADRANT, the CALIGINOUS QUADRANT, the PALE QUADRANT, and the ASHEN QUADRANT.

Each quadrant is grouped by the half they share, whether horizontally or vertically, depending on the overlapping properties one examines. The sharpest dichotomy, from an emotional perspective, is drawn between RED ROMANCE and BLACK ROMANCE.

RED ROMANCE, comprised of the flushed and pale quadrants, is a form of romance rooted in strongly positive emotions. BLACK ROMANCE, with its caliginous and ashen quadrants, is rooted in the strongly negative.

On the other hand, the vertical bifurcation has to do with the purpose of the relationship, regardless of the emotions behind it. Those quadrants which are CONCUPISCENT, the flushed and caliginous. Those which are CONCILIATORY, the pale and ashen, would be more closely likened to platonic relationships by human standards.

There are many parallels between human relationships and the various facets of troll romance. Humans have words to describe relationships of a negative nature, or of a platonic nature. The difference is, for humans, those relationships would never be conceptually grouped with romance. Establishing those sort of relationships for humans is not driven by the same primal forces that drive our tendency to couple romantically. But for trolls, those primal forces involve themselves in the full palette of these relationships, red or black, torrid or friendly. Trolls typically feel strongly compelled to find balance in each quadrant, and seek gratifying relationships that each describes.

The challenge is particularly tortuous for young trolls, who must reconcile the wide range of contradictory emotions associated with this matrix, while understanding the nature of their various romantic urges for the first time.

Of course, young humans have this challenge too. But for trolls, the challenge is fourfold. If a pair of trolls turn out to be part of the FLUSHED quadrant , they become a MATESPRITE. When two trolls become part of the CALIGINOUS quadrant , they become KISMESIS . When three trolls become part of the ASHEN quadrant , they become AUSPISTICE. When two trolls become part of the PALE quadrant , they become MOIRAL.)
