I finally finished my entry for NeoGeen's Grand Cheshire Ball...
(Information copied from the email to NeoGeen and corresponding deviantart page)
Name: Artemis the Blade Cheshire
Type: Treat, surprisingly
Info:
- Daughter of the fearsome Bloodstained Lion, Artemis is a creature of flesh and living metal born from one of his deadly flying blades. When it started acting strangely and became unresponsive, instead of smashing it in a blind rage like the first one, or purging it of essence and reforging it like the second one, he left it alone to see what would happen. The last thing he expected was for it to unfurl into a kitten
- Despite her origin and appearance, she is more interested in playing, dancing, and chasing bugs than fighting--to her father's intense annoyance. She does have his peculiar sense of honor, though.
- She can retreat back into the blade from which she was born whenever she chooses.
- Unlike a traditional cheshire, she can't fly or pass through solid objects in feline form. She can do both in blade form, though the latter is more a case of drilling through solid objects...
- Her eyes--and her blade's soulstone--are the color of fresh blood, like her father's.
- Her semi-retractable claws are supernaturally-sharp metal blades. Though she has to be careful with them, she likes to show off her remarkable "knife skills" whenever she gets a chance. She'll be the one carving jack-o'-lanterns at Halloween and the turkey at Thanksgiving, slicing fruit into interesting shapes, and making detailed paper dolls.
- Her teeth are also metal, somewhat like James Bond henchman character Jaws. She can bite through almost anything she can fit in her mouth.
- She is significantly heavier than she looks, and impressively strong for her size.
