| Notes |
As a Parasite Kat she's been a hunter since the moment she was born. Her hunger drives her to hunt and feast on the prey of the world, with her meal targets growing in size alongside her own growth. When she was a cub she could survive off the life energies of any creature, but as an adult, she now requires prey of equal life energy to her own - only sentient creatures of similar size will do now. Anything else she eats will not satisfy her.
The long history of hunting since she was young means she has a lot of hunting experience under her belt. Sentient creatures are harder to hunt than non-sentient ones, but they both have the same primal reactions to danger. They both fall prey to their own fears. She uses fear the drive her prey to areas where she can strike them when they're alone, where she's free to bite into their flesh and drain their life energies dry. (Anyone who is killed by being eaten by a Parasite can be revived by healers, provided they find and heal the body within twelve hours of their death. A Parasite tends to avoid draining the same target more than once, however, as repeat prey can lead to a Parasite being exposed or being turned into the hunted.)
Parasite Kats exist in two bodies at once. Her Raveen form and the spider that burrows into her side are both her bodies. The spider-body uses the Raveen one as a vessel when not on the hunt. Her mind exists in both bodies at once, and she is neither completely one form over the other - her sight and thoughts are equally held in both bodies at all times. When the spider detaches from her Raveen body, the mind's focus easily splits between both bodies, allowing her to exist in two spaces at once without issue.
She mimics the Tarnished Element, and from afar can passably pass as being one when seen from the right side. Her golden body does not glow, however, so she has added splashes of white paint to try and mimic sunlight-glints. She also does not have black ichor dripping from her, and the black-smears on her body where the ichor should be are painted on.
The Raveen body of a Parasite has an appearance that up close cannot pass scrutiny. They can mimic other Void Elements, but not perfectly, and they lack actual fur - their "fur" is instead made of overlapping leaves. Up close the edges of some of the leaves can be made out, but such details are not visible from afar.
She has a deep scar on her face that almost cut through her left eye. It was gained from a hunt that almost fell apart when her meal put up a last-ditch effort to survive her attack.
