She is a Character Avatar.

I'm looking for a canonical catperson from anime or mangaÂ… by Tawaki on 2008-11-25 04:11:00 UTC Reply

…for a cameo in a scene in PPC Medical (to explain why would spoil too much). But I know precious little of anime and manga. Any suggestions?

Aren't there catgirls in one of the Final Fantasies? by Just_theDoctor on 2008-11-26 07:05:00 UTC Reply

It's a video game, but the art is anime-ish.

Can't remember any catgirls... by Ansela on 2008-11-26 18:49:00 UTC Reply

but I know there are bunny girls in FFXII.

The Viera, yes. by wingnut on 2008-11-27 02:05:00 UTC Reply

I think Just_theDoctor means the Mithra (of FFXI), though, going by the FF Compendium's List o' Miscellaneous Species.

Meh, I was only going by hearsay. You're probably right. (nm) by Just_theDoctor on 2008-11-27 16:21:00 UTC Reply

There's one in '.hack//Roots' by Artic Blade on 2008-11-25 14:36:00 UTC Reply

Her name is 'Tabby', so it fits there too.

Look! Shiny URL!

Yeah, but... by JulyFlame on 2008-11-25 17:38:00 UTC Reply

Technically Tabby's just a character avatar for The World.

I don't think Tabby'd really work for what Tawaki is asking for.

But for the purposes of the series, she was essentially a living, breathing character. We weren't given much insight into her true player. She might be made of digital pieces, but in that thread, we'd have to ignore Digimon as well, since technically they'd be avatars of computer bugs, viruses and programs.
And Mary-Sue stories don't really care about logic. Maybe the Tabby Avatar would have to be drawn into PPC medical to get rid of a data corruption left behind by a Mary-Sue? They could bring her file up on computer and use a holographic projector to beam it down and physically check it against what it should be.

And then we get those certain Suethors... by Artic Blade on 2008-11-26 00:25:00 UTC Reply

Who also combine the Avatar and Player through bad grammar and spelling. Maybe she needs to be in Medical to be seperated again.

Elfen Lied has things that look like catgirls. by Laburnum on 2008-11-25 13:56:00 UTC Reply

I don't know whether they count, not having seen the show.

I wouldn't think so. by Adagio on 2008-11-25 14:56:00 UTC Reply

Seeing as the ears-things are actually horns and their other defining traits include the ability to rip people apart from a distance and homicidal tendencies...

Â…and there's Loveless. by wingnut on 2008-11-25 10:54:00 UTC Reply

The focus of that's more on the boys than the girls, but still. There's Yuiko Hawatari- a classmate of the main character's, Ritsuka Aoyagi-, Hitomi Shinonome- their teacher-, and Osamu Kimizuka- a friend of Ritsuka's from his previous school who's only appeared in one sidestory, pretty much.

Or if she counts, there's Tabby from .hack//Roots, I guess.
Here's a good place to find some by Five_redclawed on 2008-11-25 07:14:00 UTC Reply

Found this on the net: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Listofcatgirls

Might take a while to look up all those different people, so I'll give you a few catboys to go along with it.

Hellsing has Schroedinger. He'd probably be the most adorable thing ever to walk the multiverse if he wasn't an arguably insane Nazi kid. Despite that, he looks like something you just wanna pick up and cuddle. It's kinda creepy.

If you're willing to accept anthropomorphic cats, there's also Neko-sensei/Mr. Cat from Princess Tutu. He's a pretty funny guy, and rather obsessed with marriage.

I'm not sure if this last one really counts, seeing how he's from a webcomic instead of a manga. The fairy tale webcomic (sort of) No Rest for the Wicked features the catboy Perrault as one of the main characters. I'm not certain about the status of webcomics in this community, though, so he may not be a legitimate cameo.
There's a cat spirit in XxxHoLiC. by Oozaru Angel on 2008-11-25 04:48:00 UTC Reply

But she doesn't have a tail or ears. She does have cat eyes though and very cat-like mannerisms. Of course, if you just want the ears there's always Chii from Chobits (not technically a catgirl, but...).
Aisha Clan-Clan? by kgarrett on 2008-11-25 04:20:00 UTC Reply

First one I thought of. She's from Outlaw Star.
