[[caption-width-right:330:The Boy Who Died]]

''[[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.

[[folder: Major cast includes: ]]


* 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.
* Sarah Montagnaro- [[HalfHumanHybrid Fox-ear-and-tailed Half Fae]], Older-sister figure and LoveInterest of Cat.
* 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.
* 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]].
* Alexandria- The last Delphic oracle. Usually answers to the name of [[MeaningfulName Truth]]. [[LivingLieDetector Cannot be lied to]].
* 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]]
* 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]].

And many others whose stories are still being revealed.
