Awakened Cat

* Transformed
* Untransformed

The **Awakened Cat** is a minor antagonist-turned supporting character who was taken in by Jiwoo Seo after it had sustained injury from escaping Dr. Delein. She currently resides in Jiwoo's house with the rest of the three stray cats as Kayden and Jiwoo go to the academy.

## Background

At first, the awakened cat was just a normal stray cat that often went to Jiwoo's house whenever Jiwoo would feed him and the rest of the stray cats. However Dr. Delein and Wooin kidnapped him for experimentation. They conducted experiments on him and injected him with certain drugs in order to make an awakened animal. In the lab, the cat was one of the few other kidnapped stray cats that survived the experiments and the only one that was successful in becoming awakened. When he gained his abilities, the awakened cat quickly used his newfound strength to escape from his cage and started prowling around the alleyways away from the lab until he was caught by Jiwoo and Kayden after he attempted to harm them. During that time, the awakened cat was almost feral and seemed out of control.

## Personality

After awakening, the cat seems to have gained some form of intelligence.

He is subservient to those he senses are stronger than him, such as Casein Nitrate/Kayden and Jiwoo. In fact, he is quite meek towards Kayden, following his orders and often licking his paws towards him to show that he is harmless. The cat seems to have PTSD from his time being trapped in the lab with Dr. Delein. Every time he sees Wooin or the professor, he relapses and starts going wild, attempting to scratch the two when they get close. He also cares for the three stray cats in Jiwoo's house and is quite territorial, having attacked two intruders that tried to harm him or the 3 cats. He seems to also care a lot about Jiwoo and is close with him since Jiwoo was the one who saved him from Dr. Delein. He is usually shown laying about and napping and seems to prefer to keep his distance from others, even the other three stray cats.

However, he has steadily began to open up. He allows Jiwoo to pet him and after Casein Nitrate instructs him to run away and help the other cats escape should another obber come because engaging them could kill him, he begins to realize Casein Nitrate cares for him and has no intention to harm him, even giving implicit acknowledgement and respect by tapping him lightly as he walks past. He no longer seems afraid of Casein Nitrate but respects his strength and advice. While he has not gotten closer to Wooin, he no longer seems openly hostile at his presence and can often be seen resting in the living room when Wooin and the others come to visit albeit at a fair distance away. In chapter 173, when wooin is using a cat toy to play with the three cats, he can be seen approaching closer to Wooin and the other cats and observing but still keeping a small distance away from Wooin, showing he is comfortable enough to get closer.

## Abilities and Fighting Prowess

When the cat transforms, he loses all semblance of intelligence and starts going wild, attacking any opponents that he sees. He also becomes very strong, being able to rip apart doors and sold metal trash cans. He also becomes quite agile and fast, though not as fast as Jiwoo. But while his basic abilities get heightened to a greater extent, he is no match for an experienced awakened user due to his wildness and lack of strategy.

After living with Jiwoo and Kayden, the cat started gaining a resemblance of control over his power. He is still very fast and strong, though it cannot transform back into a larger cat. The cat primarily uses his sharp claws to scratch at opponents to immobilize them. When intruders came into Jiwoo's house, the cat cleverly ambushed one of the intruders and heavily injured him before Kayden knocked him unconscious.

Jiwoo: the awakened cat initially pretended to sleep whenever Jiwoo was present.
