CHARACTER INFORMATION
NAME: Bastet Leijon
ALIAS: Leo; Disciple
CANON: Homestuck
AGE: 25
GENDER: Female
OCCUPATION: Teacher: Tracking
AU BACKGROUND:Bastet was born with her physical mutation, given the last name of her parents, but quickly tossed into foster care. Mutation was very much a curse and her parents were gladly rid of her, though she never knew them and that is only what she is told. She was tossed from home to home, but her good nature and optimism kept her from taking things too harshly. It was around her 12th birthday that her ears and tail caught the notice of a few scientists.
She was kidnapped right from her foster home and taken into a lab. Her world became simply survival as they tested her physical mutations. She had yet to develop any others, but they found her cat like features as a good reference for their ectobiological experiments. It involved cloning with two participants and some sort of time factor that she wasn't actually party to. Though she kicked and bit her captors, they could easily keep a tiny little girl like her captive. They used her to help clone new mutants. She is not particularly sure whether any of the clones she was used to create were even sucessful as the technology was very new.
In the end, her power manifested clearly during one trip back to where she was kept. Claws grew, she could hear birds outside, see the way through the shadows--and she went for it. Bastet was free.
Her time in the wild, where she ended up, was long. She was into her twenties before she began to venture back toward civilization at all. She didn't trust humans after all of this and she was sure they felt the same way. Her excursions into towns were brief at first, until she found a group of mutants who gathered in the park. One caught her eye and she listened to him speak for hours and came back every day.
She met him--and his mother eventually and they coaxed words from her, tales of her past, and his speeches about equality touched her. In the end, she left her wild behind to follow them and she began to come back to herself. Her former optimism came back full force and she honestly began to believe they could do this. They could make the world understand that things didn't have to be this way. They even saved another mutant from cruelty, helped him get past his anger and listen. They became known by their star signs, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, and Virgo. Still others called her Disciple for her unwavering faith. They ventured over continents and it was only a matter of time that their words were met with violence.
The group tried to stay together when they were attacked but they each scattered and it almost appeared that some were caught. Bastet ran and ran until she found someone who could keep her safe. They took her in and sent to her Genosha for safekeeping, promising they would look for the others and send them her way. They even arranged a position at the school teaching and though she's worried sick, she will be starting there this fall. She hopes for her sake that it isn't long.
PERSONALITY:Bastet is Nepeta's Ancestor in canon and her ectobiological parent in game and as such is similar to her in many ways. She is loyal to a fault, lively and happy, and is a competent huntress. She was once more violent than she is now which is a direct result of Cancer's teaching. Among this teaching of equality were pacificism and she only breaks it to save lives.
Before the disappearance of her quartet, she was a bright and lively individual. She was unafraid of what lay ahead as they traveled, even after her childhood. Her favorite activity was always reaching the next hill or the next town. Every day was a new adventure and it was all the better for having her friends at her side. Even when they were in trouble from highbloods at various times before their capture, Bastet bounced back quickest of all. Her ability to look on the bright side and take a lighter tone was invaluable in a group of somewhat serious individuals. In fact it could be, on occasion, somewhat grating because she insisted on taking the 'look on the bright side' thing a bit too far. Which is to say, Disciple almost entirely lacked the ability to read the atmosphere. She says the wrong thing at the wrong time quite often and is quick to assume.
She enjoyed writing almost obsessively, taking it upon herself to write down all of his sermons and often carried around her book of his teachings. She recorded nearly everything in fact, from the towns they visited to conversations their group had. She can be extremely talkative but is equally able to be a great listener. Catch her interest and she will sit there listening to you go on and on. She was very adept at making fires, skinning and preparing animals, and finding new plants for them to eat. She loves to be useful, going out of her way to figure out tiny ways she can help her friends or random people.
She could be a little defensive at times and was quick to uphold her honor and those of the rest of her little group of friends. Before becoming Leo or Disciple, she got into a few fights but that occasional temper or pride has calmed down. She was a bit sheepish about her habit of slipping into catpuns, since she considered them to be somewhat childish and she tried to curb them whenever she can.
There are other quirks such as her love of 33 but they are more when she is writing. She gets a little more high pitched when upset or excited.
She is slightly worried about her friends now, since they may have been caught or injured and it's with great reluctance that she accepts being separated from them. At this time, she and Cancer (VAGUES THIS UP) are not yet together, though she has a massive crush.
APPEARANCE:Bastet has a MASS of black hair that is almost never combed, despite Virgo's many attempts and dark brown skin. OF COURSE of more note is her brown and black tiger striped ears and tail!! Her claws are also pretty impressive if she has those out.
POWERS: Aside from the physical mutations: ears, tail, and retractable claws, Bastet has super senses. She sees better than humans in dark, can hear a pin drop three rooms over and has increased agility and slight super speed. All in all, it makes her a vicious predator, just like the cats she resembles.
