Backstory~
Silvergear was another failed experiment due to her fragile frame and developing dissociative identity disorder. She obtained this illness because of the common isolation she and many other mutated animals were put through while being experimented on, and also due to her not coping with the loss of her brother. Silvergear and her brother were born as Siamese twins, but the scientists could not have two attached animal soldiers, therefore, performed surgery on the two while they were still young kittens. Silvergear survived barely, but her brother did not. He died a painless death before he had a chance to wake up from the surgery. Silver loved her brother dearly and could not come to terms with her loss, as a result, she created a second personality to represent him (his soul does not posses her as he has since moved on). Whenever her second personality takes over her pupils, now having been accidentally altered during her mutation, are visible. She does not become violent at all, but portrays herself as being a more masculine figure, even going as far as insisting to be referred to with male pronouns. Once one of her episodes have finished, she goes back to her normal self and almost always has no recollection of what has happened during that time. She never worries too much about this though as she knows that her and her brother shared the same calm nature.
Once she was sent to die in "No-Man's Land", she was alone for days until she met Phantom. Both happily accepted each other's company, being as they are of the same species and could trust one another. The two wondered the radioactive wasteland, not finding another being until meeting Dreamstear, a dragon-like entity who led them to a fairly large group of mutated felines like them. All having been left to die for various different reasons.
They all now live in a once abandoned mansion on the outskirts of one of the small towns located in "No-Man's Land". Defending each other from more rabid mutants and other particularly horrifying creatures that the now extinct human race created.
Silvergear has a great love for flying. Her specialty is inventing diverse flight machines and methods, her mechanical wings being one of them. She is still fairly new to using them but she's a headstrong and resilient character and refuses to give up on her only passion. She is prone to stressing but rarely ever has panic attacks, she has, however, had a a mild heart attack during her first couple days of being in that radioactive land due to sheer fear and other overwhelming emotions. This is the main reason she practices different calming and coping mechanisms and teaches them to her other mutated friends. Silver can be a tad bitter and jealous, especially towards other mutants living better and normal lives, but she hides it as best she can. She refuses to yell when mad or upset but if really tormented, can blow a fuse rather quickly. Resulting in embarrassment after calming down. She cares deeply for her friends and even sees Phantom as a sister.

My pleasure! ^^ Really interesting the fact she has two different personality because of her brother loss although I feel sorry for both of them, the one who died and the one who was alone after that... It's a good thing she found Phantom

I have a morbid fascination with mental illness. I guess it really shows in one of my other characters, Schizophrenic Cat. But he's meant more as a fun poke at the spastic behavior of my old cat, who had the nickname "Schiz".
