Nepeta Leiijon

Nepeta likes friendly roleplaying HS.svg , though not the dangerous kind that caused a certain debacle which hurt a couple of people. She has a naïve view of everything. She lives in a cave and hunts and eats animals, then occasionally wears their fur and paints with their blood. In fact, she uses this blood along with soot and ash to create wall art, such as storyboards for a comic and her shipping wall.

She held conversations with Terezi in which the two of them roleplayed. HS.svg Nepeta roleplays as a two-mouthed feline anthropomorph (similar to Jade's fascination with furry fandom). Her feline hunting roleplays are linked to her real-life routine.

she has a crush on Karkat vantas

According to Jasprosesprite^2 HS.svg , Nepeta's interest in shipping stems from her own loneliness as it makes her feel less alone. Shipping might have been a coping mechanism, since she lived isolated from other trolls and had an unrequited flushed crush. It's unknown how Jasprosesprite^2 knows about Nepeta's feelings, however Nepeta and Jaspersprite openly talked quite a few times HS.svg , and it is possible that Nepeta confessed it during these conversations

Nepeta has a strong interest in various relationships. Her shipping wall hints strongly at red feelings toward Karkat, as the ship between the two has a “oh yessssss!” scrawled under it, but their relationship ends there, as there are no signs of reciprocity. The ship between Karkat and Vriska is underscored by an “oh nooooo” HS.svg . A large portrait of Karkat and Nepeta making out HS.svg is seen on her revised shipping wall followed by a large “OTP” (one true pairing). Upon inspecting this, Nepeta says “NO ONE MUST EVER S333333333333333333!”. Karkat, however, seems to be aware of these unrequited feelings, and has apparently been trying to avoid them for some time. He also seems to respect Nepeta and her red feelings. Nepeta's feelings for Karkat parallel those of her ancestor the Disciple with the Signless, Karkat's ancestor. It is implied that their relationship [“went beyond the four quadrants, transcending the grid entirely”] HS.svg . When she was spared by the E%ecutor, the Disciple hid in caves and used the blood of animals to write the scripture of the Sufferer from memory on the walls (which is possibly the origin of Nepeta's shipping wall).

Nepeta is Equius's moirail; she considers herself his pacifier and likes to calm him down. All of her conversations depict a sense of playfulness, and when interacting with Terezi she tries to pacify her rather than fight back. She insists on consulting Equius HS.svg before joining the red team; her procrastination in doing so leads one to believe she was well aware that he would refuse and insist on her joining the blue team. Regardless of their 'fighting' it is clear that they have a deep understanding of each other, that they care for each other quite a lot, and that they both truly believe that the other is “lucky to have me to k33p an eye on you” HS.svg . In a conversation HS.svg with Tavros, it is hinted that Equius actually kept her from joining the Flarp session that caused several players severe injuries. In LOLCAT Nepeta seems very happy to see Equius and greets him with a friendly “pouncegreet!” HS.svg . Nepeta's moirallegiance with Equius may be based on the good compatibility between Leo and Sagittarius. During her first conversation with Terezi, she tells her that she’s “kind of scared of him” HS.svg .

Nepeta is not particularly fond of Eridan, having said “if you are talking about mr ampurra, he has always given me the cr33ps anyway!” HS.svg . Eridan also states that she rejected him, despite his being her server player. However, when she heard of his death during her date HS.svg with Jasprosesprite^2, she said, “:33 < i mean... he could be kind of a jerk sometimes but that is still a shame :(( ”, which could mean that she still thought of him as a friend.

Dave Strider While there aren't any interactions between Dave and Nepeta that we see, in a conversation with Terezi, she calls Dave “akwete purrmusk” and says “he is pretty cute” HS.svg . It seems she and Dave had a friendly relationship where they would RP, but it is believed she had no romantic inclinations towards him. Jaspersprite

Nepeta's lusus, Pounce de Leon, is a small feline creature with two mouths, and is “pawssibly the cutest and purrhaps the bestest kitty you have ever s33n!” HS.svg . She and Nepeta often went on adventures together to search for the “FOUNTAIN OF CUTE”, taking turns riding each other. Pounce de Leon was crushed when Nepeta's hive caved in HS.svg for unknown reasons, likely related to the meteor shower. Pounce de Leon's name is a reference to Juan Ponce de León, the Spanish explorer who discovered Florida while (supposedly) searching for the Fountain of Youth (though historians now dispute this).
