Catia/Sun Stone

> *Catia Soares' life is exhaustive, but not a boring one. Ever since she was ten years old she's been put through rigorous military training by her adoptive father to make sure she can defend herself, but it came with some side effects her father didn't predict. Namely, when a supervillain attacks the city and Catia is sent home to be safe, something inside her doesn't let her rest well knowing people will likely suffer damage collateral to the central conflict. One defeat of a supervillain by her own hands later, she's deemed worthy of the Rooster Lusitious, becoming the serious and hard-working Sun Stone!*

## Appearance

### As a Civilian

Catia's short and pale, with freckles covering almost her whole body; she has red hair (which somehow is always messy, much to her displeasure) and a highly athletic build from the constant exercising she has to do. She also has a handfull of scars over her body due an accident from one of her first Real training sessions, the most prominent being the one she has from the top of her right brow to the middle of her cheek, going over one of her green eyes.

She tends to wear hoodies and overall confortable, practical clothes. Despite being more confortable covered up, she'll wear the ocasional "Tank Top + Shorts" combo whenever she has training in particularly warm days (this is also what she wears during the events of Crewsaders.) If she's not wearing slippers she's always wearing some kind of boots.

Catia also carries around her Lusitious, which takes the shape of a necklace. In "camouflage" mode (AKA when not activated) it's a thin black chain with the pendant resembling two squares and a small triangle in a triangular position. She keeps it under whatever shirt she's wearing in order to hide it.

### As Sun Stone

When transformed, Catia's hair shifts to a golden blonde and becomes drastically shorter with one side shaved, her dull green eyes become a flaming yellow with orange irises and a black and red mask covers most of her face. Her clothes get fully replaced by a dark red T-shirt under a red chest-and-shoulder guard that matches her red cargo pants. She also has heavy dark red boots with a single spike on the back of each to resemble a chicken's spurs. In addition, Sun Stone also has dark red fingerless gloves and elbow protectors, all with yellow accents.

Her Lusitious becomes a golden chain with an equally golden pendant resembing the crest of a *Galo De Barcelos* . Due to it being so easy to spot and grab, Sun Stone keeps it hidden under a yellow scarf.

### As "The Black Bandana"

This wasn't really an identity Catia had planned to become, as it's just the basic disguise she uses when she has to intervene without transforming. As such, it simply consists of a reversable hoodie (on the "reversed" side) and the namesake item, as well as a pair of sunglasses. She didn't come up with the name, please leave her alone.

## Personality

### Overall

Catia has what one would call the Resting Bitch Face. She's usually pretty cranky and constantly tired, cursing at the slightest discofort. She can be seen usually responding way too bluntly, with an insult or simply by ditching whoever asked the question to begin with. She never really raises her voice, despite shouting when there's not really any other option, and her word count tends to get smaller the angrier she gets, unless she has the time or the authority to rant (for example, she wouldn't say a word during battle or when training but she'd ruthlessly scold Talon or anyone she doesn't see as having more authority than her after a battle if they get on her nerves enough.) Catia also has a very sarcastic sense of humour (occasionally making dry and whitty remarks at things she finds silly) with a tint of dark humour mixed in.

### As Sun Stone

Ironically, Catia learns to lower her guard when she takes her crime-fighting form. This comes mainly from her trust in Moon Talon and her eventual lack of respect for the often ridiculous Akumatized villains that she stops seeing as a threat. She'll occasionally poke fun at the so called "Champions" by remarking about their lack of logic or cheap unoriginal techniques. Sun Stone also has a bit of a teasing side to her, often messing with her crime-fighting partner to get an usually exaggerated reaction out of him.

### In Private

Catia can only truly relax whenever she's alone. Despite her violent behaviour around people, in private she's perfectly happy to binge read half of a book series while listening to a cheesy early 2010's pop album and drinking Chamomile Tea. She'll take as much confort as she can.

Despite being comfortable alone, part of Catia yearns for closer relationships. She's a very lonely girl with antisocial tendencies and as such it's hard for her to let anyone in, but she's often daydreamed of having a friend or two to talk about everything and nothing, to be able to fully vent about her life, rant about the ending of the latest series she's read and maybe even someday sing a duet with..

Catia has never dared to sing out loud despite knowing all her albums' lyrics by heart.

## Creation

Catia was originally created as a "friend insert" by DP, meaning that if Atlantic Ray was meant to be him, Pengwinner (or Penguin Beak) was his crush. Weird, yeah, but that's why he changed it almost immediately after creation.

The first instance of Catia being her own character was in Lilly, a Summoners character ported over into "MAR." She was drastically different but mostly in personality. Namely, Lilly was a cheery geeky girl who was a pro at photography as well as a book worm. Despite the interests remaining similar, her personality was almost the complete opposite.

Her powers as Pengwinner were pretty much the same, the only thing that changed was her design over the years, slowly evolving from a basic white jumpsuit with something resembling a Blazer to what it is now. Even the jump from penguin to rooster was somewhat subtle if you count the "ponytail concept" DP drew on her first redesign into Sun Stone. She also had the name "Frost Lilac" for a bit.

## History

### "Past Life"

Catia was born to a poor familly. Even if there were only three of them they never really had that much luxury, but they still loved each other in their own way. She didn't know anything back then, only that her parents were far younger than her classmates' despite her seemingly not having any grandparents for an at the time unknown reason, but they were as close knit as any other kind of familly. Whenever at least one of her parents came to take her home from pre-school she had the time of her life, be it with a piggyback ride around the neighbouring park or the rare new toy, but as she grew up the more the reward was just weekend familly game time, which she loved just the same. She even remembers her mom getting her an abstract necklace with three shapes that vaguely resembled the three of them.. Catia wished she hadn't lost it.

One day her dad hid her under a bed.

It was a game, he'd said. The goal had been to hide from the thunder coming from around the house, but she'd never heard banging like that before. The noise was loud and it almost sent her in a panic, but her dad assured it was alright. She just had to wait for mommy to get home and she'd win. Catia waited, but she couldn't help but squeal in fear when a particularly loud bang came from inside her home, and the footsteps she heard didn't seem like her dad's.. still, her mom showed up and Catia "won" the game. It was fine. Daddy had just gone to work and mommy had never hugged her as tight. A week later Catia barely even remembered that weird game happening in the first place, she just knew daddy had been working extra hard lately. And yet, that same day nobody came to pick her up from school.

She was told what happened later. The authorities said her mother had been a "very bad lady" and died in a fight, but her mom's weird-looking friends told her that she had been one of the kindest people around and was just trying to do what was right. It didn't add up.

Catia doesn't remember the year she spent in the orphanage, but she ended up figuring out what had happened only when she was taught enough about how the world worked. It turned out that her mother had been responsible for selling illegal substances after a teenage pregnancy and consumption issues respectively estranged her and her boyfriend from their families. She also figured out the bang she heard from inside the home had been a gunshot that took her dad as some kind of threat to her mother, who later died in a shootout after informing the police about where the material has been hidden, even if she was supposed to have immunity.

Ever since, she hated the cops for not caring about innocent casualties.

### Pre-story

Regardless, Catia was adopted not long before turning nine years old. Her adoptive father seemed kind enough and she liked the name Madalena enough to take it as a second name. It wasn't anything like her past life. For one, this familly had plenty more money from the retired man's old job as a general, but they also didn't play as much. It was fun for a while, but only at home. Ever since her parents died she had gained a few considerable pounds and other kids were starting to notice, not to mention her lack of height and how her face would turn incredibly red at the slightest annoyance.

She was mocked a lot in the new school, but as long as she wasn't being directly picked on she was alright. Catia was a generally bubbly kid and she had a fascination with learning with a particular interest in space, gladly sharing info with anybody willing to listen, and fortunately her new adoptive father had more than enough time to listen. He was even the one that encouraged Catia to join a summer camp by the name of "Camp All For All", where she met a few kids who she got along with pretty well.

They were four in total: Catia herself, a pair of twins with funny accents and a girl a couple years older than her who always stood up for the little ones, helping them be comfortable with themselves and protecting them from bullies, oftentimes resorting to violence. Her name was Helena Ribeira and she was the kid of one of her adoptive dad's old comrades.

All and all, the four of them were inseparable for those two months.
