Cat Name: Sparkle
Gender: Female
Rank: Nyan Cat
Clan: eNUFAge: 35 moons
Prompt: Sparkle is the incarnation of the famous Nyan Cat, star of another world's popular internet meme. She provides most of the fun and cheer in eNUF, happily prancing across rainbows as she sings, "nyanyanyanyanyanyanya~", showering everyone with sparkles and happiness. With eNUF being a clan fraught with deep schemes and frigity between groups, her role is not an easy one; to date, she is the only one who is suitable for the role, being the only one who can get along with every other cat.
Sparkle hadn't wanted to come to eNUF, originally. There weren't any other meme kitties in the clan, meaning that she would be- and still is- the only cat of the meme group. However, Sparkle had some Very Specific Desires, and 'making close friends' was ranked lower than 'live in my dream castle.'
And eNUF... just happened to have that lovely purple castle, perched atop the Rainbow Bridges. The Rainbow Bridges were originally there for the cultivator cats who would arrive in the future, but for now, it held her dream castle!
Sparkle immediately decided to pack up and move for eNUF. Dream castle, check!

When Sparkle first moved to eNUF, she wasn't particularly welcomed. No one prevented her from joining in on the public activities, like Circus Leader
Grecia's shows or Fairy Godfather
Johan's mass blessings. But when it came to interpersonal relationships, she was hitting cold shoulder after cold shoulder. Even in her temporary group, General NovelVerse, the group for the cats still waiting to form a group with their own compatriots, she was having trouble forming friendships. It wasn't at all easy to get close to these cats, whose hearts only had room for cats from their own universe, in a clan where every group is separated by a gaping divide, each off in their own world.

'Making close friends' might have been lower than 'living in my dream castle' in her Very Specific Desires, but that didn't mean she didn't want friends! Sparkle was determined, despite the constant rejections.

Then came her first breakthrough, her first friendship in eNUF.
Wolf, from Fairy Tales. At their first meeting, Wolf tried to scare her away with his wolf howl attempts, the effect ruined in part by his high-pitched, yowl-y voice; the intent was clear, however.
But the longer Sparkle talked to him, the more she realized that in fact, Wolf was a prime example of an onion; tough on the outside, but tender on the inside. Though he acted mean in order to maintain his "Big Bad Wolf" title, he was truly a giant softie inside, missing his big brother (the original Big Bad Wolf).
Sparkle often comforted him by telling him tales of her own past life, as a famous beloved kitty who would sing songs while running across rainbows. Though she couldn't leave behind a rainbow trail as she ran anymore, she would still take him to run across the Rainbow Bridges while showering him with sparkles, before finally inviting him to play in her castle.
She was really happy to be friends with Wolf.
Also, close friends? Check!

After becoming friends with wolf, Sparkle gradually became friends with the other cats of the clan, to varying degrees of closeness. For example, she got along particularly well with
Rhino, who loved climbing trees, and doubly loved jumping off the Rainbow Bridges onto the trees below. And though sometimes
Santa's scheming with game rules was too much, even for her, they were still friends. Sparkle even occasionally helped out with decorating Santa's parties.

Sparkle often uses her own charms to cheer up her clanmates through a particularly bad day. She'll perform a few tricks and with some poofs and sparkles, her favorite accessories would appear on the other cats, lending them some of her good cheer.
In a way, she was also half a stylist for the clan, with every-cat being her model and her dressing them up with her accessory stash.

"Oh, what's this?"
"Is this a star? Wow, you've got a crown!"
"And you have a rainbow!"
After the initial surprised reaction...
"Oh, I recognize this- this is what Sparkle always wears!"
"It must be Sparkle's blessing to us for the day, right?"
"Thank you Sparkle!"
Sparkle was glad to see the gloominess fade away. This was truly the perfect role for her.

She eyed her list of Very Specific Desires... what's left? Oh? 'Become a famous star'? Challenge accepted!
