Meet the Cast Part 1: Cato
Name:
Cato Flynn Czar
Role:
First protagonist introduced as well as one of the most important protagonists. His transformation is what sets off all the other events in the story.
Appearance when first introduced:
Cato is fairly tall (5’8”) and fairly slender though mildly toned. He has icy blue eyes and lightly golden skin. His hair is pale blonde a wavy, falling to just over the top of his ears. He loves wearing anything that is blue, as it is not only his family color but his personal favorite. He often wears neatly pressed pants and blue button up shirts.
Background when first introduced:
Cato comes from an extremely wealthy, very old family of lions. As such growing up he never wanted for anything material and had only the finest of items. His father, Cathair, was often absent due to meetings and political dealings. His mother, Frayda, was also gone a fair amount of the time, however when she was around she made sure to spend a lot of time with each of her children. Cato also has two elder brothers, Catheld and Castor, who he looks up to greatly. As they grew older Catheld became a little more absent due to his responsibilities as heir to the Czar family, and Castor almost always accompanied him. Out of his entire family Cato is closest to his younger sister, Caterina, as they are generally together, either at parties or when being left behind. Making friends was hard so he became familiar with being lonely. To deal with this he spent as much time with his sister as possible or outside where he feels calmer and more at peace.
Desires when first introduced:
Cato has always wanted to make his family proud, especially his father. The first step of doing this is to be a lion. Being any type of panther would get his disowned as per tradition and being a tiger would get him killed as per their laws. When he does become a tiger his focus becomes staying alive, even as he tries to convince himself he should turn himself in to be killed.
