Here is another older picture I drew that I never got around to posting anywhere else but DeviantArt. This character I made specifically for a multi-fandom crossover series I’ve been working on for over a decade. She’s gone through a lot of changes and I’m hoping when I have the chance, to redraw her and add her sister as well.
Below are some facts about her. It's a lot of text, and I might go back to try and condense it so it's easier to read.
Species: Caterian – Breed: Black Jaguar
Note about her age: Despite her appearance, Renea is under the effects of a curse that has frozen her body and soul’s aging process. Her mother and others are currently looking into ways to break the curse someday. Until then, they are taking advantage of its effects to fight the demon who had cursed them without fear of growing old and weak.
Sexuality: Lesbian – Confident that she is when finding herself attracted to another girl.
Homeworld: Cateria (formerly) / Never stays in one dimension/realm for long
Family: Caitlin Panthera (mother) / Homura (ex-father) / Currently has 37 brothers and sisters (third youngest)
Friends: Emory (deceased), Anti-Emory (deceased), Thistle (deceased), Anti-Thistle (deceased), Akame (younger sister/twin), Timmy, Chloe, Tootie (love interest), Chester, A.J., Tad, Chad, Mark, Cosmo, Wanda, and Poof – More may be added as the story develops.
Likes: Her pendant / Music / Videogames / Learning about fae species and their magic / Sweets / Tootie / Her friends and family
Dislikes: Losing her friends and family / Darkness (hates/fears her) / Not being strong enough / Clowns (makes her uncomfortable)
Bio: Renea and her family lived on Cateria eons ago as royalty, making her a princess. At one point, after defeating what they had hoped to be the final time of a dangerous species, their planet began to collapse. To save as many as possible, Renea’s mother, Caitlin Panthera, attempted a reincarnation spell but lost control of it. She is forced to then not only seal everyone’s memories of this life but scatter everyone caught in the reincarnation spell so that they may start anew.
For some reason, Renea and Akame are among the few immune to the Memory Seal and as they get older in their new life, they encounter their mother’s friend, Digitin Data, who was also immune. They inform them not only what happened but has learn that an ancient, god-like demon has become active in destroying various worlds and realities. Worried, they team up to find everyone who had been reincarnated to ensure their safety.
To find a safer means of traveling between dimensions, Renea discovers a power to tear open a hole and create a doorway between realities. With some help from Digi, they determine this power is unique to Renea’s species, Akame able to utilize it with some practice. Digi later finds a way to artificially copy this power and create devices for non-Caterians and other entities who don’t have this type of power or those who do somehow lose it.
While looking for their friends and family, they find Renea and Akame’s mother, Caitlin Panthera. They restored her memories which helped to not only unlock her DNA, but it restored her bloodline and powers. Not long after, they have their first encounter with the demon, Darkness, she attempts to curse them with some unknown spell. The curse, however, did not react the way any of them, Darkness included, expected. Instead of killing them, it has not only frozen their ages but later discovered the curse is like a disease and can spread by simply being in the same vicinity as someone and stopping the aging process. Caitlin and Digi were able to learn enough to know its effects don’t take full effect unless they’re around people for at least five years. If they keep moving and don’t linger around people for that long, the curse won’t take effect on them.
As they find more of their friends and family, creating allies to help face Darkness when it becomes clear that she won’t stop her destruction. In this time, Renea chooses to seek out the faes her species were allied with. She wanted to find out if they were still alive and if so, warn them about Darkness’ activity so that they may flee somewhere safe. Akame joins her in her quest, knowing how important faes are to her. Once they locate where they are and get ready to go to them, their mother wishes them well, having one of her friends go with them to keep them safe. Digi helps create false documents so that they can blend in on Earth as Renea wasn’t able to locate where the faes lived. She could only sense there were some fairies dwelling on Earth, so decided to find them and have them take her to their world.
Other Facts: The pendant Renea wears was a gift from fae elders after passing their tests. The pendant carries the essence and magic of each species of fae: fairy, anti-fairy, pixie, and anti-pixie. The pendant allows Renea to better utilize fae magic without exhausting herself unnecessarily.
When Cateria was collapsing, Renea, scared to lose her pendant when the reincarnation spell began, sealed it in a pocket dimension of shadows. After her reincarnation and she was strong enough, Renea retrieved it.
Renea rarely takes the pendant off. Any time she does, she would trust in with a trusted sibling, often Akame as they are usually together. She will get very defensive if anyone tries to make her take it off.
Renea also possesses a sword she often keeps in a pocket dimension of shadows due to its size. It has the appearance of an old, rusted sword that has had parts broken off. However, despite its ragged appearance, it is as sharp and as durable as a freshly crafted blade. Its exact origins are unknown, discovered on another planet with no present life. It is unknown if it had been abandoned there or if its master perished, the body long since eroded.
The sword does not appear to have any significant magical properties or curses attached except for a couple. Should someone attempt to hold it, the rust will grow and dig into their hands until they let go. Renea became its new master by mistake, accidentally touching it, and was left unharmed. She didn’t officially own it until she was older, and tests were done to ensure it had no adverse effects on her from simply touching it. Even then, she was watched closely to ensure prolonged exposure did not affect her negatively in any manner. A theory was made that the sword may respond to one’s strength, but hard to prove as many others are stronger than Renea who are unable to wield it. The other ability the sword seems to display is acting as a medium for any spells Renea may cast through it similar to a wand.
More is still being studied on this unusual sword to determine its origin, if its appearance is on purpose, or if it faced something strong enough to break pieces off. The metal used to seemingly craft this sword is determined to be the second strongest form of metal in existence. Renea calls her sword the Rusted Sin, though if asked why, she will admit she did it because she thought it sounded rather cool.
Renea is an alien species known as a Caterian. They are a feline-like race capable of shapeshifting between one of three forms: a more humanoid form, a beast form, and a mix of the two, appearances varying. Caterians come in different breeds, many of which will appear similar to other feline-like species found on other planets such as Earth. There is some genetic connection, making them very distant, ancestorial cousins.
Renea’s breed is a black jaguar and is capable of manipulating shadows naturally. With practice, she learns more spells to control shadows further. Most Caterians like Renea are born with angelic-like wings which can sometimes vary in shade and color, the most common being pearl and ivory. Caterians born with bat-like wings or other kinds are hybrids where one parent is of another species. However, some hybrids could still be born with the standard wings depending on what species that parent is. Some breeds are born without wings.
