Dr. Cates

Dr. Cates is an antagonist and mad scientist in North Park.
== Background ==
Born Catharine Cates, Dr. Cates grew up with a love of cats but a deathly allergy to them, falling into the sciences in an attempt to find the cure but generally being mocked for her crackpot theories on human/cat hybrids.
During her final year of College she made a breakthrough that allowed her to finally cure herself through an application of Feline DNA, only for her Discovery to be completely upstaged by Dr, Toades, who unveiled a new method of hormone treatment that could actually induce gradual gender change in those it was applied to.
Thus a lifelong seething hatred was born, with Cates determined to destroy her rival by any means necessary, even making a bunch of teens Catgirl Ninjas
== Appearance ==
Dr. Cates is a somewhat short, thin woman, with messy purple hair that often forms "cat ears" on top of her head alongside cat whiskers growing out of her face.
She usually wears a t-shirt (usually depicting a cat) and sweatpants under an open lab coat, with a pair of cat slippers covering her feet, black gloves over her hands, and tends to wear a LCD Cat Mask over her face.
She has a mostly flat chest but claims to have a fantastic rear to counterbalance it, the only Woman in North Park as flat chested as her is Miss Chariot.
== Personality ==
Dr. Cates is a manic, vindictive, egotist who tends to be incredibly easy to needle into a full on tantrum, declaring life long blood feuds on those that cross her.
After modifying her DNA she took on several Feline personality traits, such as being easily distracted by a laser pointer, enjoying getting petted like a cat, and having a strong reaction to catnip.
== Family ==
==== Barbra Norman ====
Barbra Norman was Dr. Cates Sister, and though the two were never close Barbra's death was strongly felt by her sister. This makes her Bobby Norman's Sister in law and Cringe Kid's Aunt.
== Relationships ==
==== Dr. Toades ====
Her proclaimed Nemesis. Though Toades doesn't take her even slightly seriously, only making her despise him more.
==== Maria Gurlukovich ====
Cates is disgusted by Maria's interactions with Toades, and much like her Rival there is a notable dislike between the two of them, though with slightly less making out (Toades has three make out sessions on Cates).
==== Nurse Maggie ====
Much like Toades and Maria, Cates has no respect for Maggie, declaring the woman a Quack wannabe Doctor after getting her Sister killed.
==== Cringe Kid ====
Though they rarely interact thanks to the fact that she blames Bobby Norman for her sister's death as much as she does Nurse Maggie Cates has a soft spot for her Nephew, even if he keeps calling her Candy Cat.
== Powers and Abilities ==
==== Catlike Reflexes ====
Cates has superhuman reflexes thanks to her cat DNA.
==== Claws ====
Cates has very sharp cat claws that she hides under her gloves.
==== Enhanced Senses ====
Cates has all the extraordinary senses of a Cat on top of her human ones.
==== Intellect ====
Cates has an advanced intellect allowing her to excel at scientific endeavours, and is only rivalled by all the other scientist characters in North Park.
