CMAP The Cat Fact Card by Tigris713

#cmapthecat #tigrisfactcards

CMAP was created by @dead_kitsukii as a prize for winning her pokepony contest. She is a #neoncatkp. Their species can have wings and horns, although it is not a defining trait of the species. A neon cat is identified by it bright colors and glowing tails and eyes. I would like to imagine that they can control the glow, but I actually don't know if that's the case.
For the name, I looked at different shades of blue and purple and then looked at names that were

similar to those colors. So
cyan - cyntheia
mullberry - mullberry
aegean sea - agnes
plum - plum

Alright, so maybe I didn't change the purple words to names, but I thought a rather long name should have an element of silliness to it and keeping the names the same was that element. I wanted her name to be a long one so it would be kind of opposite to Maru's (whose name is really quite short).

Once I saw her design, I saw quite a few elements were similar to Maru. They both had wings, markings, some added feature on their head, and they were both cats. That gave me the idea to think of them as opposites, but together they were balanced. One is dark one is light, one has bird wings one has bat wings, one has horns (think dragons) one has anennae (think fairies), one has circular markings one has angular marking.

I haven't really done anything with the idea that they balance each other, besides just drawing both on opposite sides of the same painting.

Backstory wise, I defenitely haven't done anything with this info. I've decided that CMAP lives near the coast and the beach, since Maru comes from the forest. The only thing that I have about CMAP is that she doesn't her own story.
I once drew her and Maru in "the place where characters without a story exisit", which I imagine is a place between realms. I've kind of fooled around the idea that she and Maru have access to this place and can visit many different universes/realms by going through this place. This explains why they have so many different forms. But I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not, so I haven't really done anything with it.

As far as abilities go, the purple bits glow. Wing tips, ear tips, horns, eyes and the tail all glow. I would like to say that she can control the glow, and that sometimes tne glow extends to darker blue parts as well.
She can also fly and has regular cat abilities: retractable claws, night vision, strong sense of smell and hearing.

Other random facts:
Her pupils are the same color as her spots. So when her pupils expand to let in more light so she can see at night, it appears that her eyes are light turquoise/white.

If she isn't concentrating on her glow, it can flare up or die down due to her emotions. Her eyes will glow the brightest when she is angry, however this does limit her peripheral vision. Since glowing is emiting light and eyes take in light in order to see, it is a hindrance if her eyes glow too much. However, her eyes are very reflective in the dark.

In case you can't see, her horns have 2 blue stripes on them.

Eventhough I don't always show it, she is a fluffy cat. I imagine that she has a small frame, but long hair that is often pressed down against her body.

She was also described as having a fox-like face when I first got her. I've tried to stay true to that, but idk how close I've actually followed that.

Personality:
Likes riddles and tricks, michevious but uses the excuse that she is a "just a cat" and "a lady" to get out of being blamed. Confident in herself, not so much in others. Likes flying.

That's all I have atm. As I said, she isn't a very developed character.
