Name: Shiromori
Description: Shiromori, straight off the bat, is an obviously abnormal looking cat. Her fur is blue, with the exception of a large amount that poofs out around her head and runs down her back, and is also quite large, her size more akin to that of a Lynx than the average housecat. This is all neglecting, however, how obvious structural differences. Her hind legs do not have paws, but rather end in perfectly flat stumps. Her tail ends in a large(like, relative to humans) inhuman hand. Oh and there's a Bonsai Tree growing out of her head. Her face as well, is unusual, while may look like an ordinary feline face at first glance, a more involved look would show that it isn't quite right, more akin to a cartoonishly stylized cat, and her mouth able to stretch from ear to ear in a jagged grin and make a variety of human expressions.
As a person she is not necessarily hostile, but cruel. More than willing to hurt and torment others for her own gain, but not one to jump to those options if she can think of one that is faster or easier. At least, until blood becomes involved. She presents herself as being better than others, an idea she actually believes, and the way she walks, when around others at least, can be considered almost alluring by cat standards. Then comes the touchy subject; dogs, and canines in general. It is no secret that many cats have little love or respect for dogs, yet many still are indifferent or others even actively friendly with them on principle. Few feel quite so negatively as Shiromori. At best a canine is trash to be brushed aside and ignored, at worst well... that mutt cannot run forever.
Bio: The white forest. Once a strange sort of landmark in Japan in feudal times, now gone. A place as frightening as it was beautiful, few who went in came back out. There are many things seemingly no-one knows, but the ones that stand out most are, 'how did it get there?' for they say it simply appeared one night and began to grow further, and 'where did it go?', for it vanished just as quickly.
For how it got there, well there's a legend told that an ancient kitsune, his motivations unknown, grew the forest from but a single flower, by watering it with his own blood. Over time, many warriors went into the forest to slay the trickster. None of them survived their journey... except one. A young girl, with flowing blue hair, came to the Forest to defeat the creature that killed her father. The two made a bet, or bargain of some kind, and eventually, the girl returned from the forest. Scarred and damaged from obvious battle, but followed by a mysterious dog. The forest, no longer being fed the blood of its mystical master, began to wither and recede. Then one night, feeling thirsty for it's masters blood, and betrayed by the one person it trusted, all that was left vanished in moments, without a trace.
As for where it went... well why do you need to ask, she's right here. The spirit of the forest, left behind by her former master, took the form most antithetical to his own, a cat. From there, hanging around where strange felines where expected to be simply seemed natural. That situations from which blood can be attained seem to occur somewhat regularly was a welcome bonus.
Powers:
Shears- Not technically a power so much as a weapon, but the seemingly living pair of hedge clippers Shiromori carries everywhere she goes are deadly sharp, even having a cutting edge on the outside of the blades, and can expand into a large, two handed pair of jagged clippers, perfect for severing heads.
It Reminded Me of You- Shiromori can grow flowers from her palm based on the spiritual essence of others. Touching objects someone held closely to themselves, or felt a strong connection to would allow far more of a strong connection to form, while if the left over essence is too faint the flower may simply wilt. These flowers are naturally drawn to those whose essence they grew from, as if something is pulling them towards the source, therefor by scattering the petals through the air they can be used to track others with ease.
All the Power of A Tree- Shiromori is strong enough to send a web of cracks through solid stone with a single blow, and tough enough to take a speeding van to the face and keep swinging.
Ya Dig It?- Shiromori can burrow through the ground with ease. Digging through even stone and asphalt with enough speed to outpace a car.
Head Bobbing- Shiromori seems to be constantly moving along to an unheard beat that occasionally changes. The world nearby falls in line with this as well. This makes actions slightly more predictable, but the subconscious nature of the effect makes it otherwise entirely aesthetic, doing nothing more than looking cool.
Life Grows From Ashes- Shiromori can regrow lost parts rapidly, including her head, she can basically sprout from the ground if she has to. Unfortunately, she's also incredibly flammable.
