General Description: The Hollow known as Cheshire takes the form of a predatory feline with lavender fur completely devoid of accessories save for their mask and bone white claws. (Both on their front and back paws, the bone covering the entirety of the paws as well as the claws.) They could be described as a panther but as no other distinguishing characteristics are useable to tell them apart from other cat types it would be a moot point. Their mask is stretched into a felinae muzzle, the teeth sharp and wickedly set almost all the way to their neck. The sclera of their eyes are black like most Hollow along with the yellow of their iris, which takes the form of a cat's in the way that it's slitted. Their Hollow hole is in the upper left area of their breast and serves as a reminder of their lost heart. Their ears rest just above their mask and are exactly that of a living feline's, covered in scruffy fur and usually sticking straight up. Their tail also has a bit of fringe along its fur that serves to... do nothing important, really, but it looks neat.
About You!
Personality: Possessive, territorial, thrillseeker, sly. Cheshire has the attention span of, well, an actual cat, mostly when it comes to people; who he'll generally see as toys or playthings, including his fellow Hollow. He doesn't consider himself a higher being or above it all, per se, but he definitely sees himself as more intelligent. He's not wrong at least, but his cockiness doesn't serve to give him any points. He'll attach himself to something, anything, any
one, and value it for a short time until it starts boring him and he moves on to the next shiny thing to cross his path. His entire outlook is entirely ADHD.
That said, when he
really likes something, or feels something that belongs to him is being threatened, he can be dangerously territorial. He exhibits signs of very unhealthy dependence on everything that interests him for even the slightest moment of time, and even if he's already given up on it he will fight to retain that sense of dominance. He doesn't share and he doesn't care about the extenuating circumstances- most of the time this comes down to hunting targets, or the Hollow he's dragging along until he gets hungry enough to eat it too.
He acts very refined and highclass for a Hollow in the terms of their need to consume souls and other Hollow to grow in strength. He'll still do it, of course, and refuses to show any remorse on the matter (the way of life and all that) but he tries to retain a semblance of faux humanity in that he eats slowly and carefully.
He's not dumb enough to pick fights with obviously stronger creatures but he has a habit of toying around and talking too much. He'll try to purr his way out of any situation that seems disfavorable but he'll occasionally fail at that, and he can't decide himself if he prefers the more dangerous moments in his life to the quiet, boring existence he normally is forced to live. He's a smooth talker, that cat, but his innate pride and need to be in control tends to be his downfall. He prefers, personally, to not go around and pick fights at all, but the inner thrillseeker in him draws him to dabble in affairs that are out of his league and likely none of his business.
The main focus is that he sees himself as being able to be more; being able to be more important to the grand scheme of things and refuses to take anything less than that.
Likes:Considering Cheshire's entire theme and outlook in life is 'entertainment' you can probably guess that he likes anything, mainly, that can keep his interest. Whether this be objects or people (or non-people, as it were) as long as it amuses him for a length of time he 'likes' it. On a more mundane level, as with every Hollow, feeding is a fulfilling and necessary hobby. He has no regard for earthly foods or sustenance being what he is 'n all. However, he does have a tendency to go after shiny and pretty things with a certain fever. Pretty
beings. He's interested in keeping a collection of rare Hollow and other creatures that he finds chained up at his side at all times but hasn't quite gotten to that point just yet.
He has a goal of ascending to a monarchy-like stature within the currently non-existent hierarchy for Hueco Mundo as a Queen of sorts, which shows his like for his 'home team', the endless desert as a whole. While he's not overtly fond of his heartless brethren he holds them in higher regard than the other races and finds that he prefers to be the one hurting them if anyone.
He also has an array of darker likes... that are best not discussed on a PG-13 forum. Rest assured, however, that torture is in his arsenal and a tactic he's fond of in many ways.
Dislikes: It's not hard to see what Cheshire dislikes at even a first glance. Annoyances, most commonly, disagreeable creatures and items that irritate him to no end. While he has a habit of finding 'diamonds in the rough' so to speak he has a general dislike of all races, including that of his own, the Hollow, but to a lesser extent than the others. (Shinigami and Quincy really set him off, while he sees the regular Human being as a simple useless snack.)
Being told what to do, what not to do- the cat has a problem with authority that thinks itself better than him. He'll nod and whimper and roll over, play all the roles needed, act along as if he understands and he'll change, really, he will, he's so sorry for the inconvenience; before pouncing back and tearing out your entrails in a graphic display of who the true 'Queen' is.
Simple enough, don't piss him off and don't be something that pisses him off.
Kindly stop existing, actually.
