Complications:
Motivation (Becoming a Music Star)- Felicia wishes to become a pop star, which somehow involves fighting other monsters. She wishes for peaceful coexistence between Darkstalkers and humans, so I guess she has to beat them up or something.
Weakness (Predictability)- Felicia, like all Darkstalkers, cannot simply "spam" out the same attack over and over again, as the opponent will expect the attacks, and be ready for them (and a counterattack). The third time she tries the same technique (or same combo of techniques) in a short span, she will be at -2 to Accuracy, AND to his Active Defenses in that round. All will decrease by 2 every successive round the same move is done.
Total: Abilities: 66 / Skills: 40--20 / Advantages: 12 + 13 / Powers: 27 / Defenses: 19 (157)
-Felicia was instantly 13-year old Jab's favorite character when he first saw clips of her... and HOLY GOD is it clear why! I mean, there's Fanservice, and then there's THIS- basically a 100% nude chick with a teeny-weeny white line drawn over the bare minimum of her body to pass censorship laws. Sadly, as the years go by, I find it weirder and weirder that her freakin' hands and feet are so enormous- that is just TOTALLY not my fetish- so I find the character less hot. Plus, technically she has HAIRY NIPPLES, given that that "white line" is actually fur. Also, seeing someone nudied out THAT hard loses a bit of appeal once you're through the worst of puberty, I think. After a point, I found that either total nudity or a MODICUM of class was the best way to go. Or just dress like Selene. SHUT UP IT'S NOT A PERFECT THEORY.
-Unlike most Darkstalkers, Felicia isn't evil or an anti-hero. She's actually objectively GOOD- she wishes to unite humans & Darkstalkers, and so she travels the world in an attempt to become a musical sensation, thus "bridging the gap" between the two cultures.
Monster Basis: Felicia is a Catgirl, which isn't really a mythological creature the way the other characters are- myths about Cat-Transformations are extremely uncommon compared to stuff about Ghosts, Werewolves, Vampires, Sasquatch, etc. The stories aren't even as big a part of history as say, Frankenstein's Monster and other creatures from pop culture. She's just... there for Fanservice, really.
-Felicia is your trademark "Fast Attacker" character, as most of her moves (which are statted out generally the same) take advantage of her great movement speed, and involve a lot of rolling forwards and under things. She's a bit like Blanka in functionality, merged with the speed of a Cammy or a Chun-Li. A couple of them can hit more than once if you hit deep enough, one is a Grab, and another has good reach (the Sand Slash involves kicking what looks like blue energy at your opponent). She's basically the
Darkstalkers version of a Scrapper/Animalistic Fighter character. Her Super Moves involve a lot of "Summons" sort of, as her Catgirl allies (of varying sizes) run in to help her out- I left that un-statted, as physically it's just an elite version of a Multiattack move.
