Enrollment `Cheshire Ectogeist,' the little reaper girl began, rather timidly, as she did not at all know whether it would like the name: however, it only grinned a little wider. `Come, it's pleased so far,' thought Alice, and she went on. `Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?'
`That depends a good deal on where you want to get to,' said the Ectogeist.
`I don't much care where--' said Alice.
`Then it doesn't matter which way you go,' said the Ectogeist.
`--so long as I get SOMEWHERE,' Alice added as an explanation.
`Oh, you're sure to do that,' said the Ectogeist, `if you only walk long enough.'
Alice felt that this could not be denied, so she tried another question. `What sort of people live about here?'
`In THAT direction,' the Ectogeist said, waving its rightmost tentacle round, `lives a Hatter: and in THAT direction,' waving another tentacle, `lives a March Hare. Visit either you like: they're both mad.'
`But I don't want to go among mad people,' Alice remarked.
`Oh, you can't help that,' said the Ectogeist: `we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad.'
`How do you know I'm mad?' said Alice.
`You must be,' said the Ectogeist, `or you wouldn't have come here.'

 Name: Catharsis Jane Sullivan
Nicknames: Cat. He prefers that everyone calls him this, and is as picky about his FULL name as a demon might be.
Gender: Male
Age: 13
Faction/Race:
Ghost | Ectogeist
[Highly concentrated ectoplasmic matter, which is often both invisible and irritatingly mischievous.]
Personality:
(Ng- Negative) . (P- Positive) . (Nt- Neutral)
[Manipulative] (Ng)
Cat's favorite trait about himself, but not particularly his most prominent. He naturally enjoys playing people off of one another, and batting around their psyche like a brightly-colored ball of yarn. This isn't to say that he's terribly good at it, and sharper residents have picked up on his game quite quickly- but that isn't to say that he'll back down. One way or another, he wants to get you to do something that you don't want to do.
[Curious] (P)
"What's this? In here?"
Cat is interested in you. He's interested in what makes you tick. He's interested in the books you like and the things that annoy you. He's interested in your pets. Your house. Your mother's maiden name. That perfume you're wearing.
While at times this can be an excruciatingly annoying trait for those who draw his endless well of interest, it's vaguely regarded as a positive trait. His curiosity often earns him great depths of information that others would usually not be bothered with, and allows him to learn and understand the detailed workings of most things rather quickly.
Essentially, he's interested. In everything.
[Musing] (Nt)
An offshoot of being curious about the world around him, Cat can be quite a deep thinker when there's no one to annoy. He will muse on new and unresolved information and topics, and consider a large span of ideas and concepts in great depth. On rare occasions he may slip into a musing "state", at which point he is too greatly involved with his own thoughts to notice the world around him. Being technically invisible aids him in this, and unless magic is used to look for him, can lay absorbed in his own thoughts for days at a time.
[Inconsiderate] (Ng)
Life is the Cat show. Everyone else are guest stars. Not to say that he's intentionally a complete a*****e when it comes to other people's feelings, he just...tends to forget to take them into consideration. Constantly.
Always too wrapped up in his own thoughts and ponderings, his own sneaky little goals and curiosities, Cat is so self centred that he doesn't even know it. He hurt your feelings? Oh, wait, you have feelings? Sorry, too busy reading this book right now, uh, come back later?
[Academic] (P)
read: bookworm
Books, books, glorious dusty little bundles of information just waiting to be opened up and unravelled. When The Cat is missing, this is the first place anyone should look. The easiest way to spot him lurking amidst the bookshelves is an open book sitting all on it's own, a little gust of wind flipping the pages every now and then.
[Secretive] (Nt)
What do you expect from an invisible spirit, wrapped in shadows, pretending to be The Cheshire Cat?
Likes: reading, relaxing, stalking making friends, the ladies, cute fluffy things, fishing, gossip, and all the Wonderland related things he can get his hands on. The smell of; good perfume, sugary things, something good cooking, leather. The sound of; smooth jazz, cool blues, sexy swing and other snazzy ragtime beats. Dancing to said tunes, specifically sophisticated and suave dances, but not opposed to breaking out the charleston. And yes, he's good at it |D
Dislikes: spoil-sports and squares; they throw off his groove. T< The smell of; basically anything he deems bad, from rotten flesh to bad cooking. Luckily he doesn't HAVE to breathe. The sound of; anything that isn't jazzy or upbeat enough. Sad music, angry music, electric guitars and growling or screeching vocals. How can one kick it to such a mess of sound??
Why are they enrolled in Amityville Academy?
No longer content with drifting the public library, nor stirring up the locals with his riddles, Cat looks upon education with curiosity and excitement. Cat has no recollection of his former life, though he is a relatively new spirit to come to Halloweentown. Aside from purely academic studies, Cat is also very eager to learn more about magic, his own powers, and how to hone himself into a master of his art. Being as enigmatic, witty and elusive as his idol overarches most of his goals.

[Unravel]
Reality is a fabric, and Cat's Fear treats it as such. His power lies in unfurling 'ribbons' of reality as though peeling up strips of material. Physically limited to shadows for the time being.
Identity: He takes pleasure in unraveling all sorts of things, wether that is knots, tales, riddles, or even the psyche of his fellow students. To his mind, the motif of a Cheshire Cat suits this ideal nicely, and he has adopted it as such.
Drawbacks: He can only create a physical form by pulling up 'ribbons' of shadows; and this process is DIFFICULT. Cat relies entirely on his Fear for his physical form.
While he can quickly wind up and unravel any part of himself, holding a solid-complete-unwavering form for more then a fleeting moment takes every ounce of his concentration.
For this reason he tends to 'half-form' a lot, leaving trailing curls of shadow ribbons, like orange-peels, drifting from whichever extremity he did not feel the need to finish up at that time.
Note: He cannot 'create' or 'destroy' anything, only separate and unwind sections of reality to reshape it to his liking. For now, he can only manipulate ribbons of shadow.
In battle:
Year One || Having only learnt to manipulate shadow ribbons, Cat relies on these in battle. Using them as a rope, he will attempt to wind up his opponent into a shadowy bundle. Of course, shadow ribbons aren't very strong and wouldn't hold long at all, the success of the opponent actually being caught and held in place not very high without training.
|n a t u r a l . a b i l i t y|
[Invisibility]
Exactly as it says, Cat is technically invisible. To make himself visible to the untrained or unskilled eye, he wraps himself up in a layer of shadows, puppeteering it from within. He can be very clearly seen in photos or on video, or if one manages to cover him in paint or something similar.
On campus, his jelly-like ectoplasm is squished and moulded into a humanoid shape, however it's natural form is a round, toothy mass with many long tendrils.

-Cat moves with a slightly bouncy wobble, his form often shifting as though his ribbons are bundled around a pile of jelly, holding it together. This is a little too close to the truth, to the discomfort of those who can see him while he is invisible. If he moves to quickly, the amount of stretch and squash taking place may cause some of his ribbons to spring undone.
-This effect, along with Cat's own laziness (and possible lack of anatomy knowledge) gives his form and movements something of a Steamboat Willie image. He is bouncy, stretchy, and walks with a literal spring in his step. Basically, being a self-made non-corporeal pile of jelly leaves his form open for ALL sorts of cartoonish mishaps; not to mention he already consists purely of black and white.
-Cat gives off quite a cold aura, and can easily be sensed when passing by, characterized by a rush of cold air.
-Anything held in Cat's stomach will be invisible, hidden by whatever goop he is made of. He can only store a limited amount, and generally only keeps necessities like his collar (on which is hung his skull pendant) which he regurgitates when he needs to use it. It's also possible that the light he uses to form his eyes and mouth are stored in his stomach, but this is unconfirmed.
-Cat can only control his Fear through his fingertips. While invisible he has many arms, but can only summon up the ribbons necessary to form his body. When formed, he may concentrate the power of several of his invisible 'fingers' into one of his shadowy 'hands' (think, the way the pokemon Deoxys winds together it's tentacle-like arms to form a hand) and pull up stronger ribbons made of more difficult sections of reality.
-Generally speaking, Cat is tangible. However, it's more or less in the same way that jelly is. You can stick your hand through it, but it'll punch a hole in it. Performing the usual ghostly phasing through walls takes some amount of concentration, however trying to grab him forcefully will yeild as much results as punching water.
-The way his FEAR works, separating sections of reality for his own use, makes the separated sections act differently then they normally would in order for it to work. This means his shadow ribbons are technically tangible as well, however they don't take much force to be unraveled, and if "torn" apart, will puff back into nothingness. Different sections of reality behave differently, and only something that was smokey or intangible to begin with will be able to dissipate when torn apart.
-He does not technically 'float', while invisible. His soul's energy rests in the body, where the most ectoplasm has gathered around. In fact, his goopy tendrils act like malleable stilts, and he can raise and lower himself as he wishes; slipping around the hall, up and over and around other students, and so on, making his movement seem like floating to those who cannot see him.
-This makes floating while he IS formed impossible, unless he extends some of his tendrils out from his ribbon-y encasing and uses them like stilts as normal.

As absurdly unusual as his taste in minipets, Cat's room looks like that of a fifteen year old ghoul. A hodgepodge mixture of cozy wooden furniture, brightly colored (and utterly ghouly) odds and ends, a massive assortment of books and very vaguely suspicious calendars, maps, photos and note boards. The room seems to be in a constant state of here-and-there, as though he was distracted half way through an assortment of projects several times over. Should the mess be noted, however, Cat will be quick to point out the neat and orderly way is which the mess is arranged. He knows where everything is, you know.
In the center of the room, a large rug breaks up the polished wooden floorboards; an attention grabbing white-and-pink number, striped like candy and twice as terrifying.
Heavy country-style blankets and huge, colorful, fluffy pillows adorn his obscenely comfortable-looking bed, accompanied by whatever stray 'project' he may have been working on at the time, and a large stuffed animal for some reason. (That's Percival Hugsington the Third. What's that look for?)
Scattered about the room are hints of tea-taking, an entirely useless act by the ghost, but one he considers important no less.
Every inch of the room is littered with books; some are on loan, piles and piles of books in 'to-be-read' stacks around his bed. Some are part of a growing 'collection', and others aren't even proper books at all -journals, note books, scrap books- all of which are strewn about the room in a manner that suggests he never expects company. Which is, if course, a complete and utter lie.
A Cat always expects company. In the center of the room is a perfectly-lain table that indicates this, always ready for guests.

Cat is more then happy to give out personal contact details. He encourages visits to his dorm room, and will gladly hand over his phone number and squee-mail should he be asked.

Despite his ghastly nature and shadowy appearance, Cat prefers cute, fluffy and expressive pets- namely, Treats. It's his guilty pleasure, to have something colorful and fluffy to cuddle and play with (and sometimes annoy the hell out of) especially if they smell like sugar and peppermint and all sorts of other delicious smells. Cat also loves other adorable, 'expressive' pets, such as the Wishing pets, the Vocal Lepus, and the odd little fluffy friend here and there.
[main pet team]
Carol || White Rabbit What was that? In the corner of Cat's room? A flicker of blood red, but only for a moment. And what is that ticking noise?
Cat considers Carol an extension of himself. A stray part of his soul that jumped off and skittered away to collect bodily form. The crown of the red queen, the Cheshire smile, and the guise of an innocent white rabbit- one can never be sure just what it all means -and Cat likes it that way. While he adores his little sweet smelling treats, his collection of fluffy 'babies' and loves his tiny singing lepus, Cat values nothing higher then Carol.
Amongst the other minis, Carol acts as something of their king. Directing them, organizing them and even going so far as to punish them should he be displeased. He looks up to Cat in his own way, but when the master is away, the minis shall play; and Carol is adamant on enacting his laws and regime upon the host of (what he considers to be) brainless minions. Some are terrified, others quietly obedient, and the odd few who consider themselves brave enough to approah the little chained beastling may be met with a sharp cry of "off with their head!"
Liquorice || Tentacle Treat W-wait, wha...what is this? Where's Floss??
Luka || Vocalepus While afraid of Cat, and sometimes bought to tears by his teasing attitude, this mini considers herself "taken" by the dark and mysterious boil. She has the tendency to get quite jealous of other ghouls even being near her boil, and might get noisy or demanding of him should his attention waver. He doesn't consider this a problem, as he loves spoiling his pets silly, however he doesn't seem to realize the extent of the little Lepus'...affection.
