shapeshifter au. in this, cat can shift into a brown tabby with bright green eyes. when she learned she can do this and how she got the ability can vary depending on thread, partner, world, etc. for the general verse, i'll default to her having been able to do it since she was young and just gotten through all her situations with that as a slight twist.

can change into a cat at will and has relatively good control of this
the backstory to this verse is extremely adaptable. generally will just follow her mainverse's story with tweaking for her as a shifter, but will change things up based off threads/world building/etc. can also be used in a number of other universes.
she can change into a partial cat, but only ever does it out of necessity or if her feline side is feeling stifled. but she full shifts often enough that this is rarely utilized
cat often takes advantage of her feline form to trick and steal from others. sometimes she isn't even afraid to reveal herself since she knows no one would believe the other anyways
she can purr even in human form and she hates it
scratch her behind the ears or along the spine and she'll melt. even when she's not in cat form
her pupils can narrow to slits in human form, but she has to be pretty consumed by her feline instincts in order for this appearance alteration to take place
while in human form: chocolate and other foods bad for cats will get her sick if she eats too much but won’t necessarily kill her
being a shapeshifter made her all the more appealing to copper to use and manipulate. her nickname of cat is picked for irony as much as talent.
