There is more to these characters in terms of what is going on with them in the Forest at the time, and can and will be revealed in IC by interacting with them.
Cecille Renault
Cecille is a 21-year-old gamer. She stands just shy of five feet tall and is lanky but wiry in her normal appearance, with catlike ears peeking out from under long blue hair that hangs wildly. She has a youthful cast to her face, and bright topaz eyes.
Cecille comes from a world much like the real world, but with tech advanced from most things in the present. The game she played was virtual-reality based, and somehow is the source of her powers. She's described it as being related to some sort of 'data profile,' but either doesn't know or hasn't explained how this is. In her world, she was a member of a team of such beings, known as the 'Omega Force.' She was fighting as a member of this team when she was sent to the Forest by a blast of reality warping energy.
Cecille's primary abilities are cat-based in nature. In her normal form, she has increased agility, speed, strength, and senses. They are roughly triple that of an average human. She has catlike senses, retractable claws, and can see better in the dark than a human.
She is able to shapeshift into three other forms; a small house-cat sized creature with bluish-white fur, which she uses to sneak with and to conserve energy, a panther form for speed, and a hybrid form that brings her to seven feet tall and again triples her senses and physical prowess. Shapeshifting requires a lot of energy, and doing a lot of shifting back and forth makes her immensely hungry.
Cecille only seems to have one bit of equipment, a customized personal digital assistant. She is seen messing with it from time to time, and guards it fairly closely most of the time. It is, however, much more than just a piece of tech. She claims it once used to allow her to access her powers, but since she died, it became part of her. She still uses it to alter her clothing, which generally changes size and shape with her and can be damaged but can't be removed from her person. If the PDA is stolen or inaccessible, she can bring it back to her by focusing on it. This results in the PDA exploding, the shards eventually dissolving away after an hour or so. Cecille can locate the PDA wherever it is, if is separated from her, and can summon it to her at any time, but tries to avoid hurting anyone by doing so carelessly.
Lately, an odd turn to her abilities has arisen in the form of her instincts heightening. It seems to have manifested in another, lesser, animalistic 'undermind' that sometimes can take over when she's in a state of extreme emotion. Once unable to control it fully, she seems to have reached some sort of agreement with the Beast inside.
Cecille is rather passive and happy-go-lucky. She often puts on a ditzy demeanor, and it's not clear if she's making it up or she's really kind of dense. She's smart, and adapts to a task quickly, but doesn't really make good use of her mental abilities unless curious or pressed to do so. She used to be a super hero, and thus tends to fall into the habit of attempting to solve problems without really thinking about it.
"Fang"
Recently, a cat-themed vigilante clad in black or red spandex (depending on what she's up to) has appeared in South City in response to the rise in crime and gang warfare there, referring to herself only as Fang. She seems reluctant to kill, but she is not above viciously disabling or maiming her targets. She's known to disappear into the shadows after an attack, and it can be hard to predict where she'll strike from. She seems to live in the city somewhere, but as of yet, it's not clear where or what connection she has to the city.
Fang is, of course, Cecille herself. It is the codename she went by as a hero in her home dimension as a member of the Omega Force, and also what she seems to have nicknamed her other self. She's taken up residence in South City, and while there, goes under the nickname "Candy Richards." She disguises her appearance, shortening her hair and coloring it black, and hiding her ears, tail, and eyes, changing their color to green.
