6 | ''[[http://cat-legend.com/ Cat Legend]]'', by Kat Santoro, is a rather unusual blend of MedievalEuropeanFantasy and UrbanFantasy, with the narrative switching back and forth between two time periods. The comic follows the adventures of a core cast of characters which slowly expands as their places in the medieval portion of the story are revealed. |
7 | ---- |
8 | [[AC:Major cast includes:]] |
9 | |
10 | * Cat [[spoiler:Nymdemise]]- The KidHero and major protagonist. [[DeadToBeginWith Starts out dead]], but is revived at the beginning of the comic. Has no memory of his past life. |
11 | * Sarah Montagnaro- [[HalfHumanHybrid Fox-ear-and-tailed Half Fae]], Older-sister figure and LoveInterest of Cat. |
12 | * Kristin Bing- Blue skinned Fae with [[ElementalPowers fire powers]]. Sometime guide and companion to the rest of the cast, his own aventures are a side-story to the main plot. |
13 | * Dorian Nymdemise- Secret son of the king and queen of Faerie, spent most of his life locked in a small room. [[NoSocialSkills Learned practically everything he knows from books]]. |
14 | * Alexandria- The last Delphic oracle. Usually answers to the name of [[MeaningfulName Truth]]. [[LivingLieDetector Cannot be lied to]]. |
15 | * Deedra- Captured in a raid on a human village, she spent most her life in Castle Nymdemise. [[CreepyChild Has a rather unnerving appearance]] ever since she had her [[LaserGuidedAmnesia early memories erased]] |
16 | * Libby- The Vortex, whose presence in the world drains away magic. Starts out as a baby but [[PlotRelevantAgeUp doesn't stay that way]]. When she speaks, it [[WaifProphet may not be just her talking]]. |
17 | |
18 | And many others whose stories are still being revealed. |

24 | %%* AntiVillain: Lord Nymndemise |
25 | * ArtEvolution: Significant change both in terms of quality and character design. Understandable when you consider how long the comic's been running. |
