Psychological Profile: Fairly typical, if extroverted, 15 year old girl. Struggles with occasional lapses into cat-like behavior due to imprinted feline instincts. Unconsciously makes cat-like noises as punctuation, particularly when frustrated or happy. Dislikes when her feline nature seems to take control and tries to repress it when she can. Feline instincts responsible for her preternatural skill at acrobatics and stalking, as well as for her rudimentary combat skills. Currently seems content to be part of the team, but is still unnerved by actual combat outside training, particularly when being shot at.

Physiological Profile: Enhanced musculature beyond that typical of a 15 year old girl. Musculature is also more efficient than human norm for the same muscle mass by a factor of approximately 8. Reflexes and agility are well beyond even those of an Olympic gymnast, capable of dodging bullets even after they're been fired. Faster than normal running speed and can effortlessly make jumps of 30'. Can see in the dark like a cat. Also extremely flexible, alowing her to wriggle out of holds easily. Has short, retractable claws allowing her to climb most surfaces with ease. Claws are too short to contribute to combat.

Cause of Powers: Scratched while trying to help by a cat that had been used for retroviral research and liberated by misguided animal rights fanatics. Cat had wandered into her backyard and appeared sick. The scratch transmitted the virus to her and overwrote part of her genome with the DNA it had copied from the cat. Took ill for 4 months, during which time her physiological and psychological changes manifested. Virus confirmed no longer contagious.

Uniform: White body suit, covering from neck to mid thigh, leaving arms bare, with red stripes up each side and the silhouette of a cat's head (face on) in red on the chest. White soft leather ankle-high toe-less boots. White soft leather biker-style fingerless gloves. White domino-style mask. Out of uniform, she prefers baggy jeans, pink or purple tee-shirts, and well-worn canvas sneakers.

Reason for Enrollment: Parental request.
