Caitlin "Cait" Glass

Caitlyn Glass, or Cate (she honestly doesn’t care) is a 2018-introduced and all-around character. She is the successor to the Glass Cat of Oz. Appearing in many of Lyman F. Baum’s stories, she will play a part in a select few of them. She identifies as a Royal purely for the sake of convenience. Her roommate is unknown.

Personality
Cate is reserved, aloof, and almost stereotypically catlike in nature. She is actually fairly vain, but doesn’t necessarily go out of her way to display that. Rather, she simply believes herself smarter, wiser, and with more common sense than most, and therefore doesn’t feel an innate need to contribute to anything she is not required to. This is the source of her sheer laziness. When in a comfortable state, she really can’t be bothered, and will likely be put into a brief mood before simply laying down once again. She can even appear emotionless at times, and any shows of feelings from her are very temporary and likely being used in an ulterior fashion. For Cate, rest is second nature (being a feline) and can often be found just laying around in her cat form. In fact, contrary to most anthropomorphic students, she spends quite a bit of her time in her natural, animalistic state. When she inevitably dozes off in public, she’ll more often than not revert to her glass cat form, whether intentionally or not, and when told about this she won’t really think anything of it. This, in fact, leads us to another somewhat annoying trait of hers: not caring.

Cate has a distinct lack of regard for anyone or anything that doesn’t have to do with her specifically. Even then, she won’t put much effort into whatever it is. It’s genuinely difficult for her to feign giving a damn, so she hardly even tries. She doesn’t think much of the consequences, because at this point, everyone else has simply given up attempting to het Cate to do anything in particular. Even so, she’s aware there are some things she must do for her own self-benefit, so she gets by, but don’t ever expect her to go the extra mile for herself or anybody. She has a knack for succeeding with the bare minimum it’s actually rather impressive, certainly the closest thing she has to a talent or hobby. Again, she does get the truly important things done, but barely. At least to the point where she’s passing all her classes and on good terms with everyone around her, although she does not care too much about social standing. In fact, the less people talk to her, the better. Not that she’s shy or anything, hardly so, but socializing in her opinion takes far too much effort than she’s willing or even capable of mustering.

Still, she manages to be mildly popular and known at school, being one a limited number of Ozians actually in attendance and having a distinct look. One glance at her, and people know she’s from Oz, even if they don’t know her story exactly. Her classmates do regard her as eye-catching and perhaps beautiful, but she’s never cared too much about that. Still, she does have her own insecurities about that. Although back in Oz her transparent complexion and oddly visible precious organs were not all that special back at the Emerald City Academy, at Ever After things are a bit different. It’s not crippling to her, but she can’t help but feel just a little too different to the other shapeshifting masses at school. At the moment, it’s not a big deal, and all she puts forward in attempt to hide anything is some pink bangs and coordinated outfit choices. It’s one of the only things she puts any effort into, but not much.

Appearance
Cate’s appearance is obviously very noticeable and unique, both animal and humanoid. Upon being created, Dr. Pipt and Margolotte (the current Bungle was not a part of the process) were rather careful to stay true to their story, striving for acute accuracy with every feature of Cate. The clear skin, the emerald eyes, the ruby heart, all of it abiding by the stories of Oz so the citizens of the old-fashioned land would be pleased. Due to this, all Bungles in the lineage tend to look rather alike, but not identical. Cate may have the same features as most Bungles, but she has a unique look in both forms, and no one worries of confusion between the generations.

Her eyes are indeed emeralds, but they aren’t the rich green one would typically expect from the gem or sight-seeing the Emerald City itself. Rather, they are a bit lighter, and rounder, though some cuts can be found within. It should be noted that while her eyes are pure emerald in her cat form, they are only present as irises in her humanoid form, with the rest of her eyes being clear glass like the rest of her.

Cate does possess the ruby heart in her center in both forms, although it is much more big in her equally larger humanoid state. It is rather pretty to look at, much like Dorothy’s slippers (although whether or not they are or should be ruby red as well is highly debated in Oz), although it can only be viewed in her cat form as Cate does wear clothes while in humanoid form. It is in the shape of a heart, but not the biological human type.

Yes, there are pink marbles in her head, although they are smaller in her cat form but take up less adjusted space than in her larger humanoid head. They are entirely visible in her natural feline state, but when in her alternate form they are covered by pink bangs, as she does have pink hair.

Her skin is entirely clear, but is usually visible to the naked eye, and she’s not invisible. Her organs and clothes and hair (when human) give her away regardless. Cate herself doesn’t care much, as she has nothing to hide, although being completely see-through would be convenient for those times when she just wants a nap and not be bothered.
