Surprise Ponies: Cattail

by Zixal

Zixal Cattail, oh Cattail. What a threatening presence she holds.

Another one of my own characters, Cattail is one of the most lethal characters in the roleplay. One that's still mortal, anyway.

Being the long-lost sister of Fern, Cattail had to fight for every inch of her life, at all times of her life through childhood to early adulthood. Strong, agile, precise, cunning, and terrifyingly silent, Cattail is a lethal creature who is weaponized down to her bones. Armed with paralyzing venom in her fangs, powerful legs, a whip-like tail, and wings as sharp as blades, Cattail is a threat to nearly anyone she comes across. It probably helps that she has a space alien android as an adoptive father, who armed her with a literal lightsaber.

Cattail's eyesight is naturally tremendously sharp, in stark contrast to Fern, and in turn has a pitiful sense of hearing. Her eyes are so keen, they can outperform an eagle's. After accidentally losing one in a tussle a little too rough, her robotic dad replaced it with a cybernetic eyeball with an even greater range of vision, capable of zooming in and out, scanning any forms of life, and even detecting things that are invisible to the naked eye, Cattail's vision is now completely unparalleled, allowing her to make moves of extreme precision and react immediately to anything she sees. Her head is constantly on a swivel, as such when it comes to someone like her.

Cattail is not a hero, but she is not a villain either. More of a vigilante who acts under supervision of her android father, Cattail does not fight for justice or for right. She fights for survival, as she always had before, and will see to it that any threat that rears its ugly head at her will find itself six feet under in their first confrontation.
