Appearance

Cater has short, red hair. Her bangs seem to rest on either side of her face while the rest of her hair flares out on all sides. She has bright blue eyes that seem to gleam with excitement. Standing at only five feet and three inches (161 cm), she is rather petite. As for weight, she looks no heavier than 115 pounds, give or take.

Much like the rest of her female classmates from Class Zero, Cater’s uniform consists of the usual. She wears a red, plaid skirt that reaches just a few inches before mid-thigh. She also wears a black long-sleeved jacket with golden shoulder guards. About her neck, she adorns a red cape that she ties around her neck as if it were a scarf, the cape portion in the back hanging loosely behind her to not even mid-back. On her back, she carries a brown backpack.

On her feet, she wears black knee high socks and black leather dress shoes that appear to have a bit of a high-heel in the back.

Personality:

Cater has a spunky personality. She’s not afraid to take any challenge head-on. Her own motto is to trust her own instincts and not think. Doing so though, doesn’t always work out well for her. One could think of her as the reckless type. Despite that, she cares for her friends and would do anything to help them out. Cater lives for the action and is quite bold.

She has great self confidence in the things that she does and because of that, she’s able to carry on even if she screws up big. Being the kind of girl that she is, Cater is very direct with others. She’s not at all afraid to speak her mind. It’s because of that, that she is one of the only two students not afraid to let a teacher know, like Kurasame, that she doesn’t like them. So far, only she and Nine have been the ones to make it clear to Kurasame that they don’t like him at all. He replaced ‘Mother’ and Cater can’t find herself liking someone that took over ‘Mother’s’ position.

Having a terrible concept of time, Cater has a tendency to be running to class all the time claiming she’s late. It leads to her taking desperate measures, such as leaping off the top of a balcony of a stair case to the ground below without thinking of the consequences…or who she might injure in the process.

Like the rest of her class, save for Cinque, Cater is strong of heart. She won’t back down from a fight and would fight hard alongside her friends and classmates. Since she’s known to be direct, she can become a bit snappy with those that annoy her. It’s also noted that Cater can become quite competitive.

Cater seems to be good friends with Cinque and Deuce. The only thing seemingly to be the reason for it is because they’re all of the same age.

Every now and then, Cater gets feelings of déjà vu which may be due to the fact that in other timelines, Class Zero keeps going through an endless repeat dying when fighting Cid. Whether or not these have stopped now is another question entirely.

History: (OOC: Hope the made of portion was fine.)

Cater was born in Oriens, in the nation of Rubrum. She was the youngest of three children and had to learn early in life to compete for her parents’ attention. It wasn’t easy for her parents to pay attention to all of them at once since their jobs made it rather difficult. Due to this sort of living, Cater had become rather independent and head strong. Being the youngest, her older siblings tended to torment her the most. It was due to this that Cater learned to speak her mind and not back down.

Not initially being close to her parents to begin with, Cater often spent most of her time around an aunt. If it hadn’t been for her aunt, Cater might’ve never been enrolled into Peristylium Suzaku, the Magic Academy of Rubrum. Seeing that Cater had potential, her aunt decided to have her enlisted.

Ever since then, Cater found herself put into Class Zero as it’s fourth member. It hadn’t been all that hard for Cater to adjust to a life now where there were others around her own age. Spending so much time around Arecia Al-Rashia, like the rest of Class Zero, Cater developed a bond strong enough where she sees her as her mother. Since her own mom didn’t pay her much attention, Cater adopted Arecia as her own during the time she spent in the Magic Academy. It’s due to her feelings toward her instructor that has caused her to resent the arrival of Kurasame. Since ‘Mother’ is gone and was replaced by this masked man, Cater can’t help but despise him. No one else holds such high respect from Cater but ‘Mother’.

Due to the recent event where Cid Aulstyne broke the Pax codex, a peace treaty between the four nations, and invaded the other nations in attempts to gain control of the crystals. Hoping to get Rubrum to surrender, the Milites Empire attacked the Magic Academy.

As a part of the resistance, Class Zero becomes involved in Operation Apostle. Together with the rest of her classmates, Cater fights in hopes to defeat Cid once and for all. How events will turn out, only time will tell but Cater can’t help but feel like she’s experienced these events once before. The only thing that has kept her from thinking she’s going crazy is after her conversation with Arecia aka ‘Mother’.

Abilities:

Attribute Bullet: Shots of varying types of magic. What effects depends on the kind of magic used as explained below.

-Fire Bullet: This is a fire based attack that covers Cater’s bullets in fire. Has the ability to home in on targets for 2 posts.

-Freezing Bullet: This is an ice based attack that covers Cater’s bullets in ice. Has the ability to go through enemies due to the ice surrounding the bullets.

-Lightning Bullet: This is a lightning based attack. If she manages to shoot one target with it, the lightning can spread out to one enemy on both sides of the previous target.

-Toxic Bullet: A poisonous attack. It unleashes a poisonous gas at the enemy and deals damage over a course of five posts if they’re hit with the toxic gases. Once five posts are up, the poison’s effects are lifted.

-Mine Bullet: Firing a single shot, Cater has the ability to leave a mine just from her gun. If it embeds itself into the flesh of her enemies, once an ally shoots the target with the mine bullet or if the target moves wrong, the mine bullet explodes.

-Weakening Bullet: Like the name suggests, Cater can fire a bullet that is strong enough to weaken the defense of her enemies should it land a hit. Weakens their defense by 15% a hit.

-Stop Bullet: Cater can fire a bullet that will cast stop on a foe should it hit. If hit, an enemy is put into temporary time paralysis in which they’re unable to move for two posts.

Snipe Mode: With her gun, Cater is able to zoom in on a distant enemy and attempt to strike them down from afar.

Wave Cannon: Can only perform this attack when with two other members of Class Zero. Gathering up enough energy, in accordance with two other members, Cater’s Gun is able to fire a wave of energy that reaches out from the bullet fired. The wave stretches out straight ahead of her from her gun about 20 feet. Those closer receive more damage from the wave. Can be avoided if someone gets out of range. Can be done only once a thread.

Summons: None known yet.
Magic: Cater’s Magic is in her Magic Gun.
Strengths: Very head strong, not afraid to speak her mind, is good with a gun, doesn’t have to reload. Doesn’t give up.
Weaknesses: Doesn’t think before she leaps which leads to situations like her leaping off the top of a staircase as her idea for a short cut leading to a rather embarrassing moment where she crash landed on poor Eight. Has more of a tendency to fight with others which can hinder situations.
Weapon Marvelous Cheer- A magical gun that Cater is quite skilled in using. She’s able to fire magical bullets and able to continuously fire without having to reload.
Crushes: It’s not clear as to whom she has a crush on Eight but it’s clear as to whom has a crush on her Eight.
How did you find us? I don’t remember anymore but I do believe my Nanaki profile says so lol.
Role Play Sample:

Cater stood there, looking rather blankly at Carla. Once again, the school's 'top student' was trying to swindle gil from those from Class Zero. If Carla ever thought she'd convince her this time to pay that expensive amount of gil for one drink, she had another thing coming. Cater stood there, looking rather bored as she folded her arms and rolled her bright blue eyes. ‘Carla, up to her old tricks again!' she thought with a shake of her head.

Thanks to Carla, Cater didn't notice the time since she was so busy trying to drown her out by ignoring her. 'You wouldn't be here trying to scam us if a teacher were to walk by right now!' she thought. It was true that the teachers thought Carla was the best but whenever they were around, it restrained the fiery merchant girl from trying to take people's gil.

After a few minutes of this, Cater sighed and turned to the green and blue haired girl. "Carla, if you think I'm going to pay that much for a stupid drink, you've got another thing coming! Go trick some other idiot into buying your stuff and leave me be!" she stated. Cater hadn't been in the grandest of moods to begin with. She had a make up test to do today and the thought of suffering through a test didn't bode well for her. Cater preferred to be out there in the action, on a mission even if she kept getting feelings of deja vu.

Walking away from Carla, whom still wasn't put off by Cater's words, Cater let out a sigh. "You never learn, do you?" she said to the girl one last time before heading off. Speaking of the make up test, what time was it?

Looking over at a clock, her bright blue eyes widened with horror. "UWAH! HOW COULD I WASTE SO MUCH TIME?!" she exclaimed. If she didn't move it, she'd be out of luck! Darting down the corridors of Peristylium Academy, Cater barreled through groups of people. "Sorry, excuse me! Coming through!" she stated, running as fast as her legs would carry her.

As she ran, something went whizzing past her head and sunk into the wall just inches from her. Pausing, Cater took a short second to glance at what had just been thrown at her. Looking toward the owner, she already knew who it was. Once again, Nine had lost his temper with someone and didn't take heed as to where he threw his javelins. "HEY! WATCH IT!" she shouted, shaking her fist at him before turning back toward where she was going and running off. She had no clue that Nine's explosion had resulted from the fact that he had been recently rejected by the teacher he doted over. She was too much in a rush to care about what the others were up to anyway. She had to make it to class!

As she ran, a set of stone railings came into view. Uwah! I'm late, I'm late, I'm late!" she exclaimed, barreling toward them and leaning over the railing for a short moment. Right now, she didn't realize Eight, a fellow student of Class Zero, was below her. ‘Think, Cater, think!' she thought. How could she get down faster than taking the stairs?

Not really hearing poor Eight, Cater backed up a few steps and did a running start. Pushing herself up off the railing, she leapt off the top of the stair case! As she did so, only then did she realize her mistake a little too late. Spotting Eight down there, whom she was heading right for without realizing it since she didn't look before she jumped, she lost her balance. Eyes widening, she could do nothing but look down in horror as she went right for poor Eight. Eight, just as surprised as she was, tried to react to the now airborne Cater by holding his arms up. She barely heard his words he uttered about catching her before the two collided.

At the rate Cater had been soaring down toward Eight, it had rendered the two unconscious. Cater's attempts in trying to make it on time proved a complete failure. By the time she woke up, pushing herself up off the ground, she found them being laughed at by the student body. One teacher was looking down at them with disapproval. Rubbing the back of her head, Cater gave a sheepish grin. That had been a rather dumb move on her part!

Next to her, poor Eight still lay flat on the ground, out like a light still. Poking him with a finger, after realizing what she had done, Cater tried to get him to wake up. "Eight? Eiiiight? Eight?!" she called his name but the youth just wasn't moving. After a few more attempts, she gave up. She'll have to apologize to him later.

"Eh, he'll snap out of it!" she stated, pushing herself up off the ground. Looking at the time, she sighed dejectedly. "So much for the make-up test!" she stated. Now it was far too late to do anything about it. Oh well, she'll just have to do loads better next time! Screw what Kurasame thought!
