## Personality

Depending on who you ask, Kitty is a happy-go-lucky cat who just wants you to spend spend spend and have fun fun fun! They want to cheer you on, make you believe that you can do it, and that fortune’s on your side! After all, they are Kitty Fortune and they’re here to tell you that you should go for it! Take a big risk! You won’t know until you try, meeyow!

But on the flip side, underneath that mascot head is a bitter and quiet worker who does what they’re told to get a paycheck. They smoke and drink to cope, but no amount of vices can take away their annoyance with everyone and everything around them. Everything sucks and yeah, that includes you too buddy.

To put it simply, Kitty and Kitt are two different extreme personas inhabiting the same body. While Kitty is the loud cutesy cat catchphrase-using mascot, Kitt is the quieter and snarkier smoker with a foul mouth. There is no in-between the two, no balance, although they do overlap with each other at times. Kitty provides the needed energy, that extreme pep talk! But Kitt is always lurking underneath the head, whispering snide remarks and how much they don’t want to be here. They LLLLOOOOVEEE to greet purrtential customers! (As long as they don’t touch them with their grubby hands.) And they LLLLLOOOVEEE taking photos with them too! (As long as they pay them upfront. And don’t even THINK about wrapping your gross hand around their waist.)

Alas, there’s a time and place for every cat out there. Kitty’s there for the public, to make them go wild! And Kitt comes out at night when it’s after hours and no one's around. Again, there is no balance between the two- both are exaggerated facets of one person. But do they know who they truly are? Just what is a “true self” anyways? They’re searching for that answer, but for now they want to wow you with their Kitty side and keep Kitt tucked away (unless you piss them off that badly to break them out of character).

## Background

Oh wheeere to begin! Kitty'll tell you that they were a stray cat picked up by Neko Neko Pachinko! Parlor and they've been grateful ever since! So come on down and spend spend spend! Win win win! Yay yay! You can do it! ⭐

What they won't tell you is that they're a skeezy gambler who owes some very important people some very important money.

So what went wrong? Why do they work at a Pachinko parlor now?

Well, living a boring mundane life was never appealing to them. While people took the safe route, they were living dangerously and taking chances. Life was a game and they were the luckiest gambler ever put on this earth. Why work to the bone for a tiny paycheck when you can win it all in a high stakes casino game? Never mind the fact that it’s illegal; it’s only illegal if you get caught.

But their luck would run out right when they won too much.

They began their life on the run once they were suspected of cheating in an illegal casino headed by the yakuza. It was either forfeit all their money and get killed, or surrender nothing and still get killed. As you can guess, neither option was purrticularly appealing. So, they changed their name to Kitt Fortune, dyed their hair, and altered their appearance. Everything would work itself out from there.

Oh, how they were so wrong.

Just because you change your name and appearance doesn’t mean you’ll be safe. They needed to hide. They needed to blend in. So after job hopping, they finally landed themselves a job with… ugh… Neko Neko Pachinko! Parlor. They needed a mascot who would bring in poor schmucks willing to try their hand against the elusive lady luck. And the best part was that you had to wear a stupid looking mascot head the whole time! Nobody could find out that it was them underneath that head. It was the purrfect job.

So years and years passed by with Kitt living two lives (contrary to nine): a happy positive persona that would bring in those purrrfect customers and a wholly negative loser who suspects everyone and everything around them. But… constant work and switching between the two personalities has left them… lost. They’re certain that they can stay true to who they were before they changed themselves, but even then they’re not sure what a “true” self is. Both sides feel very real to them, but there is no middle ground. Have they really changed or is this still an act they put up to hide? They can’t tell anymore.

But! Enter stage right, mysterious text!

One night after a long shift, Kitt received a mysterious text asking them if they wanted to change their life around, go someplace new. Why, hell yea they want to! Have you seen their life? They can’t stand being around losers and literal cat-callers anymore! And they can still hear the death threats in their nightmares. One month to get to New York? No problem. They still have a little bit of gambling money left on top of all the meager paychecks. They’re gonna get out of this shithole and win it big like they used to. Besides, is there any place worse than here?

Probably, but that’s the name of the game, baby. Luck has and always will be on their side.

You just have to take the chance.
