CHARACTER: Nepeta Leijon - here, however, her first name will be Nyah. That's pronounced Nia despite its adorably feline appearance. c; CANON: Homestuck BLURB: Her backstory is actually just lifted from the last time I played her in a reincarnation game, so if you'd like a more in-depth look feel free to check out her old app since there won't be too many tweaks.
• sixteen years old and a recent arrival to Recolle - her family's only been here maybe three or four months • homeschooled, which is probably for the best because her ability to focus on anything she doesn't want to is atrocious • only child of a Swedish photographer and a Navajo camera store employee who fell in love when he visited the southwest for some inspiration. they're disgustingly happy together and also disgustingly supportive of their daughter. • this means that they've pretty much let her pursue any interest she's had and subsequently she has absolutely no idea how much strange many of her hobbies are and how much of a weirdo she is. • the entirety of her life up until a few months ago was spent traveling Africa with her parents doing volunteer work - kind of like the Wild Thornberries but for charity instead of NatGeo ratings. • she was actually born in Africa (I was thinking Kenya or thereabouts) and that plus her parents' nationalities probably means her citizenship is a mess of paperwork • along with being really supportive her parents also allowed her an outrageous amount of autonomy - she's used to just wandering off by herself without a word for hours at a time and inserting herself into other people's business, even in Recolle • incredibly well-versed in things like digging wells, architecture, spiritualism, African politics...but not so much when it comes to pop culture. or most recent technology. or like, anything a regular American teenager would know. • crazy into Navajo spirituality as well as broader subsets of that sort of thing - think crystal-gazing, astral plane communication, shit like that. • her spirit guide is a cheetah, thank you very much • barefoot literally all the time. she'll fight you about putting on shoes. • unsurprisingly, she loves to run. very athletic in general, but running is her favorite. • stupidly into catching up on all the literature she's missed despite being really down about living in a city now, so if you can't find a classic novel at the library odds are good she's checked it out.
LOOKING FOR: Anything?? Nyah's an only child but if you'd (for whatever reason) like to be an aunt/uncle or cousin or other relation go right on ahead. People she's run into and disconcerted by telling them their aura was worryingly thin, actual friends, someone who might have called child services in the past...all that shit would also be super cool. JUST COME AT ME OK OPTIONAL ENABLE ME: It's been a significant chunk of time since I lasted played any version of Nepeta, so I'm a little uncertain about apping her here, especially seeing how many other super cool Homestucks are on this workshop oh my gosh this canon was supposed to be dead in the rp scene.
That said I don't...really know who I'd app if not her, haha. This is my muselist, so if anyone else happens to pop out at you that you'd want to see here, let me know? The further down the list they are the less confident I currently am with their voice, however.
