BRB, feeding the car.
-A typo she made.
Nekomata is a troper from Finland, making some minor edits here and there.
Currently 19 years old (still looking like 10-year-old.), she studies in her village's local upper secondary school, fighting with supervillains superheroes her grades and depression. Wants to be an author and/or a librarian when she grows up. A great fan of The Moomins and Eoin Colfer.
If you want to find her from the Intarwebz, try dA, Last.fm, Youtube Tumblr and Twitter. Can also be found randomly lurking in the Troper IRC Channel by the name "Nekomata" or "Failcat".
You may call her "Nekomata" or "Failcat". Whichever suits you better.
Tropes that she is guilty of
- All Love Is Unrequited / Ship Sinking / Love Hurts / Silly Rabbit, Romance Is for Kids!: Let's just say whenever she has a crush on anyone and leave it at that. Not that she's bitter about it or anything.
- Alone in a Crowd
- Apologizes a Lot: When online.
- Attention Deficit Creator Disorder
- Asexuality: Asexual, but not aromantic. She wants a significant other, but the idea of actual sex squicks the hell out of her.
- Author Appeal: Many of her characters follow this line.
- Bad Ass Longcoat: Burgundy (fake) leather trenchcoat.
- Berserk Button: Spell her name wrong or forget her name. Although she is too polite to rage outwards.
- Beware the Nice Ones: Even Nekomata herself is scared of the day she finally snaps.
- Big-Lipped Alligator Moment: Once when she was just getting on the bus after a day in school, a religious person pops out right fuck out of nowhere and starts babbling something about love of God or something. Nekomata got so confused that she actually stopped for a moment, because really, when people talk, they should be listened, right? When Nekomata got in the bus, she sat down, did a Double Take and had a nice
cupbucket of Flat "What".- See also Crowning Moment Of Funny below.
- Black Bug Room: She has spent quite a time there, unfortunately...
- Black Sheep: Her elder sister is a metalhead. Her younger brother is a metalhead. Nekomata is not a metalhead.
- But doesn't this make her a White Sheep in a sense?
- Book Worm
- Brilliant, but Lazy: She is often told that she could get good grades if she really tried. But she doesn't seem to think so...

- Captain Obvious
- Cargo Ship: Her friends ship her with her laptop.
- Cat Girl
- Cats Are Mean
- Chaotic Good: Altough she likes to think herself as Chaotic Neutral
- Character Development in the bad direction. She used to be happy and cheerful Genki Girl, but she has noticed that she is turning into a (depressed) Kuudere. Although it almost makes sense, because her dad is somewhat Kuudere too...

- Dysfunction Junction: Suprisingly many people close to her have some kind of issues...
- Face Palm: She loves doing that when she is on her Only Sane Man mood.

- Nekomata The Failcat: Dah, it took me a while to notice this! (Fail, me) Hii!
- AlBundyFan365: Hey, you also like listening to music by The Beatles, maybe even more than or just as much as me. That's great because they're the best band ever, am I right? Plus, for Loads And Loads Of Characters, what do you mean by "And they all are her children"? I have no intention to be rude, it's just that when I read it, I became confused as to what that means. Anyway, if you want to, you can go visit my Troper page. Also, PLEASE try to leave a nice comment about it for me, OK? Life is better with friends, not enemies.
