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.

28	%%* DarkIsNotEvil: Shadowmancers.

39	%%* FourFingeredHands
40	* GhostAmnesia: Cat isn't ''dead'' (anymore), but dying did take away nearly all memory of his previous life.
41	* GlamourFailure: In a literal sense; some faeries in the modern-day setting, particularly Vali, seem to be having difficulty keeping their glamour going.
42	* HalfHumanHybrid: Sarah, with a human father and faery mother.
43	* HappilyAdopted: They don't get to see each other often, but Vali and adopted daughter Dee are nonetheless very close.

48	* MadOracle: Not all the time, but to prophesize, Truth has to become temporarily insane.
49	%%* MeaningfulName: Again, Truth. Also Stone.
50	* NoSocialSkills: Dor grew up locked in his room, with no companionship but books and an occasional visit from Bing. Social skills are...lacking.
51	%%* OurFairiesAreDifferent: Even within the story itself, the Fae are a very diverse bunch.
52	%%* ProphetEyes: Mendel the Seer
