"NEEMA (aka Grace) the BeastQueen"
My concept design for Castle Cats' latest design contest for superheroes/villains...after all, not all heroes wear capes ( though capes ARE awesome)

Neema (which means "grace" in swahili) is a thylacoleo warrior. She was inspired by my main Ark: Survival Evolved character/hero/survivor and my general experiences playing the game. And loosely based on Australian aboriginal warriors. "She can tame any beast with a mighty roar and fierce force of will. She fears none. And any whom she cannot claim as allies beware her poison-tipped spear can knock out even the greatest of creatures! You can run but she commands an army of land and air!" With her loyal Haast's eagle, Fiskal (a tribute to my argentavis), this warrior is a deadly foe! She may not exactly be the hero type as she stays quite neutral in many ways, she does believe in defending any she comes to name "her tribe".
I thought a thylacoleo would be a really cool Castle Cat. Of course the "marsupial lion" wasn't REALLY a feline, but some of the cats in-game aren't fully cats either. These fascinating creatures have captured my imagination and after learning about them in the video game I fell in love with the real extinct animal. So, while a Beast Master isn't a typical "superhero", I really wanted to design a mighty thyla warrior entry for the game. All else fails, I had a BLAST making her!
