Sierra Natsumi :3

Meet the newest addition to my gallery! I think you're gonna' like her!

Sierra Natsumi is a young female neko who was actually created in a biological science laboratory in Japan back in 1997.

The purpose behind the scientists was to create and introduce to the world a new species of neko. One that posed greater strength and durability along with a few new features. The species' name was called the Lucian Cural Neko and Sierra was the first of their kind to be created.

She spawned a very small and young neko, but by 2006 she had quickly grown to an average appearance of 16 years of age, but ever since then, her aging process stopped. ('s "Forever 16" much???) This indicates that this species has an aging process that stops at a certain point in their lifespan (between the age bracket of 10-50, however this does NOT make them immortal). She has many fur patterns on her body (like MOST nekos ). She also has the ability to morph into a feral cat. This provides them a chance to hide and cloak from the enemy as well as basically have a natural form of disguise. And of course, their most noticeable feature is their long curly tail. They can use it to stand on, use as a weapon or a hook to hang on from something (like a monkey. ) And lastly, even though they're not immortal, they can take wounds but heal a little faster than the average human or neko.

Throughout her years in the lab, the scientists tested her skills and agility, treated her with care, along with gathering DNA and bio-genetic samples from her, all while accomplishing the project, providing as much as they could before they could reach their deadline. In 2011, the project was finished, and they sent all the information to the government about the project and it's many procedures it went , awaiting approval to allow these new species into the world. Much to their relief and pleasure, the project was accepted and they put the whole plan into action. But much to Sierra's dismay, the scientists had to let her go. This broke the poor girl's heart because she had grown attached to all those who worked with her in the lab. She considered them her family and the lab her home. The only thing she can treasure to remember them by, was a small jingle bell on a bow tie given to her by the one scientists she could call "mother". She was left alone and afraid into a new world outside the laboratory she never set foot on... However, hope came to her in the form of Ethan. The young boy has since then grown to become her best friend and guide. She's also the only friend Ethan can share the secrets of his origins with, granted she and him can relate in certain ways.

As time went by, she grew from afraid and insecure to more accepting, open and full of glee (she's still aware and careful though. ). At times she can get a bit too curious and hyper, which can eventually land her into trouble. Another thing about her is that she can be quite the gourmet. She LOVES food, and while she knows how to control her eating habits (for the most part), at times when the food becomes too delicious for her, she tends to eat it somewhat voraciously. She longs to become a scientist in biology, granted she learned plenty of things back when she lives in the lab. She still has yet to discover certain and new things in her life, but overall, this enthusiastic, and adventurous young neko is up for the game.

Also, she prefers to be addressed by her last name "Natsumi". For now, I'm still thinking what colors should I give her... Suggestions, anyone?

Anyways, enjoy! ^^
