AIM (if you have one): on-file
Character Name: Cather “Cat” Grant
Character LJ (if applicable):
Physical description (face, build, weight): Under normal circumstances, Cat is a blonde girl of slightly over average height with an athletic build consistent with someone who engages in regular intensive exercise. 
Age: 23
Birthday: November 17

Codename (if using one): Wildcat
PB: Emilie de Ravin
Abilities: Transforms into a werecat form with claws and enhanced strength, agility, speed, and senses.  Significant fighting skills.
Weaknesses and flaws: Cat gets airsick easily. Her super-human senses can be overwhelmed by strong smells, sounds, etc.
Character location/Home: JSA Brownstone
Alignment (villain, hero etc): Hero
Team: JSA
Relatives (living/dead?): Ted Grant/Wildcat (father, living), Zinda Blake/Lady Blackhawk (mother, living), Tom Bronson/Wildcat (half-brother, living)

Backstory: Well, a little more than twenty-three years ago, the JSA threw a major shindig.  Big party for all the super-folk.  And, well, Zinda Blake had a little too much to drink, and Ted Grant had a little too much to drink, and yadda yadda yadda, nine months later, there came a bouncing baby girl. (Blake’s then boss, Barbara Gordon, reportedly originally pitched a fit when she first found out about the pregnancy and father, and delegated the yelling and sanity questioning portions of the conversation to Black Canary and Huntress).

 

There was, to put it simply, no chance of any kind of long term relationship between Ted and Zinda, but both put in the time to raise Catherine (Ted was reportedly a little bit drunk on the day of her birth and Zinda was on pain medications, neither realized until it was too late they’d named the girl “Cat”), who spent roughly equal amounts of time with both of them.  They more than made sure she knew how to take care of herself.  She reportedly made her older brother Tommy’s life a living hell.  What surprised everyone, however, were that many of her interests were far more girly than any of the others would have expected.  Cat grew up with a love of gardening, tea parties, and all things pink, while at the same time being able to pretty much able to hold her own in the ring or anywhere else, even more so when she discovered, like her brother, she was also a werecat.

 

Working as a florist in New York City, Cat is about to hook back up with the Justice Society.

Other skills: Cat is talented at knitting, flower arrangement, and gardening.

 

How do you plan to introduce the character to the game?: dropping by the Brownstone/moving in to the Brownstone
What are you planning to do with this character?: No specific character plans, with the possible exception of an eventual “goes feral” kind of thing.
What do you want to see happen with this character?: JSA stuff, pretty much; alternating plots with Wendi as necessary, since I think we’re big enough to start allowing some doubling up.  If this doesn’t work out, she could be an independent, though I prefer the team environment.

Please include a sample post/scene

Honey, I'm home! (test scene) [20 Sep 2010|09:43pm]
Heels clicking and skirt rustling slightly in the breeze, Catherine "Cat" Grant approached the JSA Brownstone.  She'd practically grown up in that building, with the best family a girl could ask for, when she wasn't growing up with another best family of the most kick ass women known to man.  She'd been away for a while now, with finishing up some education, and the new job and all...

But it was time to come home.  The JSA probably just wasn't the same without her particular influences. 

...They better not have been havin' any fun without her.

She walked up the steps and knocked on the door.
