Ninja Cat Turnarounds

Ninja cat begins as a regular cute cat with a circular face and no ninja outfit. After his owner leaves, he puts his hair back into a more triangular shape and appears with his ninja outfit. His body is still cute and circular, but he now has a devious-looking face.

Jessica (Owner) Turnarounds

Ninja Cat’s owner is a 23-year-old girl who just graduated college. She has medium-toned skin (mixed) and curly brown hair. She is very academically smart but does not have a ton of common sense or street smarts. As stated before, she does not have much common sense and is a bit naive. She’s a very happy and uppity girl. She loves being at home with her pets but also loves going out with friends every day. Her favorite colors are pink and blue and her new home is covered in these colors. She’s like a sorority girl (she was in college). Her parents have a good amount of money, causing her to not have a real job in college and never really be on her own or to fend for herself. This is her first time living alone (with her friend) and it is a bit of a struggle for her. Her parents are also mostly helping her pay for her house as well (she and her friend own a whole house to themselves and she works at Starbucks!) The fact that her parents have a lot of money and help her out a ton definitely has something to do with the fact that she is a bit naive. Among her peers, she is fairly popular but is still not incredibly known. She also wears her Starbucks uniform as she comes back into the room and discovers Ninja Cat being a menace!

Emily (Friend)

The best friend is also a 23-year-old girl who just graduated college. She is a white girl with light skin, blond hair, and blue eyes. While the owner is very academically intelligent but does not have many street smarts, the best friend is averagely intelligent but is pretty street smart. Like Ninja Cat’s Owner, the Best Friend is a very happy and uppity girl who loves being at home with her pets but also loves going out with her friends. Her favorite colors are blue and green. She and Jessica were in the same sorority in college. Her parents also have a good amount of money, causing her to not have a real job in college (she is currently unemployed) and never really be on her own or to fend for herself. This is her first time living alone (with her friend) and it is a bit of a struggle for her. Her parents are also mostly helping her pay for her house as well. Her outfit colors also give a dainty and girly vibe.
