Cat

> Sorry everyone. I'm a bit late.

> -Cathryn(Cat) Chaleur, Sy.N.A.T, Chapter 10: Emergence of Ekayana

Cathryn Chaleur, often referred to as Cat, is one of the 3 protagonists and 6 main characters of the main Sy.N.A.T trilogy.

Your not so average high school girl thrown into the same crazy situation as the rest of her friends; transportation to an alternate dimension by death. Is close friends with Alex and is currently in a romantic partnership Azalea. She's not one to mess around with, but if you did you'd get a fiery surprise!

## Appearance

Cathryn Chaleur has a slight waviness to her other wise straight dirty blonde hair which as of her arrival on Sotaqt had been died black only to return to dirty blonde after she cut her hair during her time alone. She would often wear a variety of alternative clothing while she was still on earth and for her first few days on Sotaqt however after her return to Sotaqt she wore a cloak over her typical clothes which eventually were replaced by more typical elven wear bought in the UEF during her time moving in to Sycarro.

## Personality

> I’m sorry for having to leave you, but this is a sacrifice I must make. The lives of others are at stake here.
>
>

Cathryn Chaleur is a sometimes sarcastic, but also confident and caring person who openly shows her care for the people close to her. Her ultimate show of care comes when she makes the decision to end her own life in an attempt to return to Sotaqt and save the lives of her friend even when there was no telling whether or not she'd actually be able to make it back. She has often put the wellbeing of others before her own often to her own determent and leading to a sense of listlessness a feeling which she mentions Azalea helped her get over which she mentions in Sy.N.A.T, Chapter 37: …So Below, "You know back on earth I always felt a little distant. I had Alex, CJ, and other people too. It always felt like I was drifting aimlessly through life without any direction or goals, but now… now that I’m here I feel like I’ve been set on a path." She is very open to new thing and also to forgive, shown when despite her hesitations she decides to believe Philotes after what had happened between them.

## Relationships

### Azalea

> Basically, what I’m trying to say is you’ve made this time spent here worthwhile and without you not only would I still be drifting around, but sunk to the bottom. I think I’d rather sail right to the edge of the world especially if it was you.

Cat's relationship with Azalea starts out when Cat first meets her at the Tirentod Medical Lodge where Azalea hands Cat the note from Cat's future self. Cat is immediately infatuated by Azalea's appearance and slowly develops a friendly relationship with her for the first few days after Cat arrived in Sotaqt. By the time Cat dies for the second time in the abandoned underground mine in the Northern Shared Territory they were only friends, something that would change soon afterword's. After her third death and second arrival on Sotaqt she finds her self in the position of the person who saved Azalea. After 2 years pass and she reunites with the rest of her friends the realization that Cat was indeed the person who saved Azalea pushes the two significantly closer than before. After the death of the Assassin King(Kevin) they move in together in a house next to Mrs. Leitner and Julius's home. Again a clear sign of there closeness shows when Azalea confesses her feelings for cat on the boat ride to Cocytus from Obervios a confession which goes unanswered for several weeks. In Sy.N.A.T, Chapter 37: …So Below Cat finally returns Azalea's confession solidifying their relationship which stays constant and unwavering for the rest of the series.

## Abilities

### Synat:

#### Burning Song:

An ability that allows Cathryn to control fire through song, the soundwaves of her music manipulating the air to control flames as well, and create beautiful music. Her final move is ‘portrait of a lady on fire’ which allows her to become clad in the armor of literal fire for physical combat, but if she stops singing while using this the flames will burn her. She general stick to just shooting blast of fires at her enemies and never tends to get creative when it comes to her synat. She could hypothetically even control fire without singing, but due to Kevin's suggestion about how her synat could be used she never thinks to try it.

#### Burning Song of Martyrdom:

Gained after her third death and return to Sotaqt. All the abilities of the original Burning Song ability plus the ability to take damage from allies and have herself be hurt instead and then transfer these wounds to an enemy. She has only used this ability once after the second train crash, in the Kingdom of Yavolia, in Chapter 28: Ash on the Ashtabula River.
