OKAY so
It's 1 in the morning and I should be sleeping but a headcanon punched me in the face and I need to write it down or its not gonna let me sleep
Excuse any errors I'm like half asleep and rambly but here's a Cathar headcanon
Cathar have a tendency to walk on their toes. Some do it more subtly with their heels barely off the ground while others literally end up looking a good few inches taller bc they REALLY walk on their toes
1) it results in Cathar, with or missing their tail, Force-sensitive or no, having incredible balance. Like...good luck pushing one over without being super forceful about it their balance is like scary good
2) they have incredible strength in their calves. Take a Cathar to a gym and have them do those leg lift thingies - they'll lift way more than it looks like they should be able to
3) other species HATE being lent a Cathar's shoes lol. With the way they walk, their shoes wear out in a weird way and are super uncomfortable at best and will make them roll their ankle at worst. Like, if you need to borrow a pair of boots you better hope the Cathar in your group isn't the only one to match your shoe size, it's that bad
Jen walks with his heel just above the ground, so it's not very noticeable with him. He had to borrow a pair of boots from Corso once. Since they weren't worn to how he walked, he ended up complaining the whole time about how uncomfortable they were.
Leo is the opposite: she very obviously walks on her toes. Her girlfriend tried to wear her boots once and about rolled her ankle within two steps.
Kidak walks somewhat between how the other two do.
All three of them hate hate hate when they need new shoes because it means they'll have to wear them in so they're actually comfy with the way they walk
