Mona Nicchi- The Beastly Burglar

History:

Mona was born to a ludicrously wealthy Italian family of catfolk, people with light feline features who can fully transform into cat forms at night. Raised to be an heir to the family business, proper and capable, she utterly rebelled, seeking excitement at any cost. She stole things from other students at her private school for mere amusement, and before the age of 10 was breaking into homes for even greater robberies. She evaded jail time only by being good enough to leave no trace, and her parents didn’t want to spoil their reputation by reporting her.

When their god came, she mingled with those who had delivered litters, using her existing bestial features to blend in. The avatar either didn't notice or let it slide. After months of this misery, she finally got back at the leader of the cult, stealing a magical artifact from her and fleeing just before the battle that erased the cult. Freed of her past, she returned to the world. It was time to make her presence known.

Personality:

Mona is impulsive and easily bored. Well-to-do, she steals simply for the thrill of it. She also has a taste for drama, loving all eyes on her, preferring to steal famous works, leaving her own sub-par copies in their place as a calling card. She enjoys making art herself despite her lack of skill. She's well aware she's not very good, but if she wants good art, she'll steal it. However, she shies away from violence and refuses to kill, seeing this moral as an extra challenge for herself.

Appearance:

Mona is short and slender, a gymnast's build. She has an angular face with a somewhat long and pointed nose below violet eyes. Her ears are especially pointed and can move independently. Mona is deeply tanned, making her short pink hair stand out even stronger. She is given to tight clothing with patterns, brightly colored sunglasses, and hats when roaming, but when on a mission she almost never wears anything other than Dark Heart.

Powers:

Acrobat- Mona has trained her naturally superior agility to impossible levels, balancing easily on the smallest ledges and making incredible leaps.

Claws- Mona has natural claws that retract inside her fingers when not in use. She tends to prefer climbing with these rather than fighting, but can launch a nasty scratch when she's pushed.

Senses- Mona's senses are sharper than a human's, from scent to hearing to night vision.

Escape artist- Mona can dislocate her bones and twist her spine 180 in order to bend her way out of any trap. Helping her along are her claws and her expert lock-picking abilities.

Full change- At night, Mona can fully shapeshift into a cat. As a regular housecat, her senses sharpen, but her major reason for using this power is to lessen her size to squeeze through gaps her human form can't. During or near the full moon, she can go further and become a tiger-like big cat, raising her strength significantly at the cost of thumbs.

Gear:

The Dark Heart- Am amulet that, when placed on her forehead, creates a skintight suit on her body, complete with a helmet and flowing cape.

Resistance- Despite its tightness, the bodysuit the Dark Heart summons is strikingly durable, giving Mona decent defenses against attacks and the elements. It is difficult to cut and insulates her well, but blunt force passes through the thin material easily. The suit also changes shape to fit her body when she changes her own form.

Void Cape- Mona's cape acts as a portal to a pocket dimension where Mona can store objects. She can hide objects away in her cape and teleport to places she knows by wrapping it around herself. She commonly keeps a rapier inside which she uses in self-defense.

Weaknesses:

Mona doesn’t like to fight. While she was trained in fencing among other things, she doesn’t have much experience in real battle and is quite physically weak.
