Character Information
Summary
Othered by society, Hibiscus was a gal just trying to find her place. Now she's let herself become a monster, and deals constantly with the banshee hunger and the feline urge to maim.
Goals
Survive, pay rent, become rockstar, SURVIVE
Background
Broad strokes:
Born in raised in SK labs
Hated that, got out of dodge as soon as she could (like 15y.o.)
Realized once out of the lab that most of the world was not like her
Scared of that
Huge feelings of being an 'other' to society
Slummed it up for a while, or broke into people's houses to sleep and eat
RENT IS A THING??
Leaning into what her body do, became a security consultant
Got better at talking to people as time went on
Hobbies include reading young adult romance, napping, watching fights (real or on TV), bar hopping, keeping fresh on her martial arts
But these were the broad strokes of things before Hibiscus joined the Haven. Things have changed significantly since then, and many would argue for the worst. Joining the Haven in October 2083, Hibiscus went on her first run and met two new friends in Cleaner Cleaner and Fluster. Clearing that she was able to meet the Haven proper on the IRC channel, where she first met Swerve and things changed for Hibiscus forever. Hibiscus took shaping her self identity to the physical, turning herself into a catgirl. She found herself still othered by those around her, despite the efforts of Mojo Joe. She longed for a community the newly-made catgirl felt she could only find with the infected. In hindsight, it wasn't the longest choice Hibiscus had wavered on. She had been talked down from joining the Triads which she had planned for years. Was it a lovestruck isolated girl or an earnest yearning for community? Who could say? Either way, she took the plunge. On January 10th, 2084 Hibiscus took actions that would change her life forever, and she let herself be turned by Heart of the Tempest. The following weeks faded from her mind as she turned from feral banshee to feral cat as she scrambled to find her sanity again. But now she's coming back - a new, hungrier woman.

Appearance
A petite young woman, Hibiscus is absolutely tiny aside from her augmentations. Among her most defining features are the very tired blue cat eyes that glare with an exhausted disdain at the concept of daylight, and her bright white hair that "Makes [her] look like an anime character" as she's been told time and time again. Furthering this, recently she has received transgenics that have given her snow leopard ears and the ability to purr.
Clothing
She is seen most often wearing outfits made by Tempest. Currently both match colour scheme and design work.
- One is a flamenco dress in black and red silk fabric with a matching corset, adorned all over with now faux silver threading and rose vine patterns all over
- One is a sort of suit best seen in medieval courtrooms with a doublet vest of black and red silk and a faux silver Yggdrasil across the front, and black pants of matching descriptor, but instead of Yggdrasil is rose vines around the ankles and up the sides of the pants.
Both are worn with a cloak that hides Hibiscus's face with how deep the hood is. Black exterior with crimson accents, blood coloured roses snake across the fabric.
Matrix Persona
A snow leopard. Just a people-sized snow leopard.
