@fluff-pink-fox : has Catherine ever tried interacting woth her brother?

Oo, this is a good one

So, during the Heartslabyul chapter she catches a glance of Che'nya. And they have the typical "Alchemi?" "Alice?" But once Catherine realizes that Che'nya can identify her she runs away even though he tried to go after her. There's a part of Catherine that knows she shouldn't hold a grudge against Che'nya but she's also stubborn. Whenever he's in Heartslabyul she hides.

During winter break (in the story line) is when they actually get to talk. Well, cue Catherine breaking down in front of Che'nya. "Why did you chose them over me?!? I needed you!!! You abandoned me, Alchemi!! When I needed you... I was all alone.. I just wanted my brother..." It's the first time Che'nya heard anything like that from Catherine. Especially when the only time Catherine was able to sneak out and play, she got caught. Che'nya, scared for Riddle getting in trouble, ran away with him leaving Catherine.

They definitely are trying to be better, Catherine thought Che'nya's life was all fun and games but didn't know he had his own struggles. When she ran away he looked for her, but he could never find her. When he heard that she went into the forest he expected her to be dead from all the "monsters". So to see his sister alive was a shock, and to see her so different.

It's more Che'nya trying to repair their relationship, Catherine tries but also if she has her bad ending she doesn't want to be to close to him. So Che'nya doesn't have to lose his sister for the second time. They do have that sort of teasing/bickering sibling dynamic during her 3rd year tho

I'm gonna work on the other stuffed animal asks in a bit but-

You guys picked the perfect character with Catherine. Out of all of them she is the one who LOVES stuffed animals. They turn her childish the fastest. She wasn't allowed them as a child, if anything I can see her mother buying her one of those expensive porcelain dolls (that you don't play with, just look at). There were plenty of cute fluffy creatures in the forbidden forest so I can see her liking stuffed animals because they remind her of her "home". Also when she's sad she curls up like a cat, so I can see her cuddling a plushie.

(What I can imagine her doing with her first stuffed animal, also purring)

Is that Catherine's new nickname 😂

'Deep breaths Alice... Deep breaths....' The girl tried to calm herself down as she paced around her room. Everything she needed was in the bag on her bed. Everything else in her room was fraud, a fake painting of a perfect life. Dresses, books, art, all beautiful lies. Alice took one last look around her room 'the blood stain in front of the mirror...' She reached up to touch her ear as memories of that fateful event replayed in her mind. She shook her head, she just had to stop thinking about it. If not she'd never leave.

As she put her bag on her back one final thing caught her eye, a family painting. Her mother stern but beautiful stared into her very soul. Her father, the man that never so much as looked at his daughter finally met her eyes. And finally, her older brother. The boy's mischievous grin was the opposite of his sister's who simple looked blankly forward "Alchemi..." She spoke her brother's name softly "if only things were different... If only you didn't leave me alone with her... What made them so much better? Why were they more important to you than your own sister..!" She sniffled, shaking her head "no... He's not my brother anymore. I'm not a Pinka." In a quick moment she took down the painting, placing it face down on her bed.

The night air was crisp when Alice opened her window, making her dress and hair billow around her. Blue eyes looked down at the ground below 'cats always land on their feet...' Holding her bag close she took her leap of faith, covering her mouth. She yelped when her feet met the ground, pain shooting up her body.

Without wasting time Alice quickly ran away, through the garden and the manor's yard. Through everything she had ever known. When she was just about to leave the family grounds she turned around. With a final curtsy she bid farewell to her life. Reaching up the girl took off the ribbon that covered her ears. As it fluttered away in the wind there was only one thing she could think.

Finally, I'm free

This might be a weird question but, are there any song lyrics you see with Cat and her parents (maybe even Chenya?)

This actually took me a while but some new songs that I've listened to fit ^^

"Did you hear about that, mother?

Broke her daughter's legs in two

And said, "It's too dangerous out there to walk, so I had to save you"'

It fits everything her mother did to her. Broke her so she'd have a promised future, without caring about the hell she put her daughter through. Everything she did to Catherine, her mother thought she was helping her.

"I loved you, I loved you, I loved you, it's true

I wanted to be you and do what you do

I lived here, I loved here, I thought it was true

I feel so stupid, and so used

I feel so used"

Catherine to her father. She loved her dad, he never loved her. He ignored his own daughter no matter what she did. She adored him, so much so that the current colors Catherine has are her father's.

"So, where do we go from here?

And how to forget and forgive?

What's gone is forever lost

Now, all we can do is live"

Catherine to Chenya. How can she forgive him for abandoning her? He chose his friends over his sister's wellbeing (but he was also a child that didn't know). So Catherine sees their relationship as siblings ruined, but they have to move on. They can't undo what happened.

⇷ Catherine

'Jasper!' Catherine panted as she ran through the forest, the roars of the jabberwocky filled the air. The others who lived in the forbidden forest ran, terrified of the monster that once was their friend. A flash of fire made Catherine gasp "eyes of flame..." The monster turned its attention onto the girl, stalking closer to her. He wasn't in his full form, but a wound could still be lethal.

"H-hey... Luv... " her voice trembled as she took a step back but reached out her hand "Jasper.." Catherine cried out as she dodged a claw. The cat continued to avoid the monster's attack, desperately trying to bring her love back to his senses. Tearing up at the thought of losing him, Catherine misstepped. She let out a cry of bloody murder as sharp claws dug into her back. At that noise the monster's eyes changed. The flames died out, showing the normal crimson that occupied it.

"Kit..." The voice was low, lower than his normal voice as he walked towards the collapsed cat. Catherine struggled to sit up, wincing as she felt blood drip down. None the less she smiled when she looked into his eyes "I'm right here." She flopped onto her side as the monster feel beside her, retaking his human form. The boy was trembling, terrified at what he had done. Quickly Catherine brought his head to her chest, forcing him to listen to her heartbeat. At the noise Jasper cried "Cat, I'm sorry" "I'm okay. I'm more worried about you luv." The boy shook his head.

"But I hurt you!! The nightmares are becoming more frequent. I'm afraid to die. Someone will kill me" Catherine bit her lip at his words, knowing that she was haunted by nightmares of killing him. The twisted future that was to come. Fighting back tears of her own, she spoke "I won't let that happen. I love you Jasp. " she held his head close, silently crying 'why... I don't want to be Alice! I don't want to kill the boy I love!' The burning in her back had dulled to a throb as she calmed the boy down.

"I'll find a way to save ya Jasp, promise."

[thetwstwildcard]

Has Catherine dated anyone before?

"O-oi.. T-that's a bit of a personal question don't cha think?"

In all seriousness she has. Which makes her story more tragic. The only person she has dated in her story (excluding oc ships) is Jasper. Jasper Wocky...

Aka, the jabberwocky that she must kill. The reason she sacrifices herself instead is because she still loves him (not romantically but she cares deeply for him). She fell in love with the thing she must kill. That is why she goes against her destiny.
