Characters/Slight

Cats!

A lithe, thin, willowy waif of a feline, she appears to be little more than tech, skin and bones. Chrome plated stipes run along the back of her neck, the centermost following her spine down as far as you can see. The outermost stripes slide backwards, spreading out to cover across where her shoulder blades would be, moving in time with the skin. The next ones in curl inward and forward, meeting together at the bottom of her collarbone and going down. Beige fur covers her from the top of her ears to the bottom of her feet, including a long, thin tail, flicking around absently, as if of its own accord. She holds herself with a small degree of certainty, tempered with a kind smile, usually. A pair of large, chrome-boned wings emerge fluidly from her back, a shimmering field of force between them, stretching to meet between the phalanges. One of her ears is torn and tattered, looking as though it's been chewed to bits. Elsewise, her features are rather plain- it would be easy to imagine losing her in a crowd of secretarial Up cat-droids were it not for the wings, and most of her appearance seems to have been picked to emulate them specifically. Her limbs are wiry, long, and skinny- enough muscle for moving and doing basic things, but nothing else. She wears a black leather vest, laced down the front from top to bottom, and a matching black leather skirt, reaching down to her ankles, split from mid-thigh down the front. Around each of her wrists is a single chrome bracelet, reflecting the ambient light.

History!

Ah. Asking Slight herself what she remembers, she'll tell you that she was decanted in an adult body, complete with the knowledge of her tasks and general information about the Puzzlebox and Mess upon her first awakening. She'll also tell you that she's been an assistant in Beta, doing routine medical tasks- a nurse by any other name. Ask her what her favorite pasttime has been, you'll be told that she's been a big fan of Strangehorror sensies, and looking at clouds in the fields of Beta.

Asking her what her *true* history is, though, will net the following- that her mind was created and placed into a body once belonging to Onya, for the purpose of giving the dragon the chance to experience what it would have been like to be innocent for once, and also to retain some sense of feeling of novelty in a Mess that had become too commonplace for someone easily jaded. Worse, that Onya had taken up residence in the back of her mind, and hadn't bothered telling her until recently.

---

Recently, she's been forced to grow up- mostly by herself. She risked falling apart emotionally after a few hazardous incidents, and has pulled herself together remarkably, having come through it with the help from the person she thought that she despised the most in the entire Mess. She tried her hand at a draconic transformation, but decided against it, and while she retains a set of flowmetal wings that are normally retracted into the rest of her hardware, she otherwise appears to be a rather normal looking cat. Which is how she appreciates it.

Interpersonal Relations!

• Sel was the first person who really showed her any degree of compassion and kindness. She likes the bunnyboy!
• Camilla is...someone interesting, and worth getting to know to the cat. And proudly bears the remains of an ear to show her affection for hir.
• System has a horrible habit of disillusioning her from her ideal preferences, and while she respects being confronted with the truth of the matter, she still feels that the probe has all of the manners of a toaster oven and less functionality. Still, System is good for a grin, and seems to be a decent person besides.
• Roque was kind enough to play along to start with, though did end up trying to help her retain her innocence. As such, she's respected, if not known well enough to be genuinely liked.
• Onya is a bitch. Certainly hard to get along with, opinionated, and difficult to trust, especially when she's coiled around your brain like some kind of rogue parasite. Still, if it wasn't for her, Slight would never have been able to face herself and come out the better for it, so there's some kind of positive relation there. Even if it is difficult to determine what it is.
• Oracle is interesting, certainly unique, and fun to be around. And her restaurant is possibly the best in the Mess. Even if it does have smart-ass fae mice.
• Lysette has been friendly and kind, even going as far as to provide meat for her!
