Character Name: Nepeta Leijon
Series: Homestuck
Timeline: Before Equius goes to tell her to hide
Canon Resource Link: Homestuck and Nepeta
Character Background: Alternia was the homeworld for the trolls in Homestuck. Their Ancestors in the Alpha universe created it via the Scratch, causing everything to flip. Troll society was notorious for being extremely violent, and their Empress was steadily taking over every planet she could sink her claws into. Adults were sent into space to serve the cause while the children and adolescents stayed behind. When the grubs pupated, they would have to face the Trials before getting picked by a lusus, a sort of guardian for young trolls. After, they had a drone build them a home in a place of their choosing or found themselves an alternative to an actual building. There was also the blood caste to consider, although the heroes chosen from Alternia never seemed to really care about it, except for a couple of them.

Nepeta was raised by a cat lusus and she named her Pounce de Leon. She learned how to survive in a jungle environment, making a cave her home. She hunted for herself, taught herself how to draw, had amazing adventures with her lusus, and was all around a very happy troll. At some point, she made friends with the other 11 trolls, one of them, Equius, being her moirail.

When she and the others were six sweeps (13 in silly human years) old, Nepeta was a player in a game called Sgrub. It was a game designed to create a new world in exchange for the death of the one she came from. She was her group's Rogue of Heart, and proved her strength as they progressed through the game. They had almost won, but right before Karkat could open the door to their new world, Jack Noir appeared. Aradia had her doomed selves distract him while she transported the trolls onto a distant meteor to hide. There were computers that allowed them to communicate to the humans who were fated to play the Beta version of Sburb.

Nepeta hadn't been all that interested in talking to the humans. She really only talked to one, Jade, and the human thought that the troll was mocking her. The troll spent her time playing around, drawing and roleplaying mainly. Nepeta trusted, respected, and loved Karkat, which was evident throughout her life on the meteor. She was also good friends with Terezi and Tavros. The only people she didn't like were Vriska, because she scared Nepeta, and Eridan. From the little we've seen of her, she was friendly, cheerful, optimistic, and in some ways childish. However, there were times where Nepeta was feisty, serious, and had no trouble back-talking to her moirail when she disagreed with him.

However, things were getting tense with them. Eridan had snapped and gone on a killing spree. So had Gamzee. Karkat had ordered Equius to attempt to get Gamzee under control by any means necessary while he tended to an unconscious Sollux. Equius had been on his way to tell Nepeta to hide before she was taken to Wonderland. Nepeta would hide in the air vents, which would lead to her witnessing Equius' death at Gamzee's hands. Afterward, she would burst from her hiding spot and attempt to avenge her moirail's death.

It would end in her own death.

Abilities/Special Powers: She uses Clawkind as her Strife Specibus, which basically makes her like Wolverine. Nepeta doesn't really have anything super special about her, other than hunting/fighting experience and cat-like reflexes. It's unknown what her Rogue of Heart abilities are.

Third-Person Sample:

Nepeta blinked, surprised and curious at the same time. The scene didn't change no matter how many times she blinked, though. She frowned, scratching her head. Equius had come to talk to her for some reason; the troll saw him making a beeline toward her. Her vision had blurred before she found herself sitting in some sort of garden outside a huge mansion hive.

She sat down on the grass, surprised at how nice the sun felt on her skin. The Alternian sun was harsh in both brightness and heat, but this was much more pleasant. It didn't burn eyes or skin. Well, her eyes were still a little uncomfortable with the light, but it was better than getting seared! If this was what Earth sun was like, then she almost wished she had been born a human.

Almost.

"I should purrobably find someone to tell me where I am and how to get back," the troll mused to herself. She reluctantly picked herself up from the ground, not at all minding the grass stains and dirt she might have gotten on her pants. There was a curious weight in her pocket, though. Nepeta took it out, and, after studying it for a few minutes, she concluded that it was a communication device of some sort.

"Well, that's convenient!" Grinning, Nepeta immediately sought out the text function. It was time to get some answers, and maybe make some new friends!
