A lover of all things cats! So much so that her evil persona is cat themed and her assistants are cats! Ashley collects and obtains cat themed objects, as well as anything else she or her felines fancy, through various means.

While a thief and "evil", she is not looking to take over the world. She is only looking out for herself and her feline companions.

Is in the same social and economic circle as Jack's family, does a lot better at blending in with the rich than he does. Even if the parties can be rather dull at times.

*Nearly superhuman but not quite there.

**Charming and knows it, will use her looks and charm to play dirty and/or gets what she what she wants.

Headcanons:

Her kittens were modified as a way to save them.

In relation to this, she doesn’t like those who hurt animals and if she catches you she will hurt you and the cops will know.

She can hack as part of sneaking in places, gather information and the like. Same the cops will know.

She takes gymnastics and is extremely good at it, a way to hone her skills.

She has other weapons and tools, just not shown or used nearly enough. For example, a grappling hook and lockpicks.

Her kittens get to choose targets for thievery too.

Donates to shelters (parents money) as her main donations. Lots of donations. Sometimes her own, if she gets bored of an item and sells it off for spare money. Black market and all. She can always resteal it again later if she changes her mind after all!~

The Cats

Ashley's cats are special, genetically modified, super kittens! That's what she calls them anyway. They are strong enough to rip apart robots and shred through trees!

Each kitten has its own name, its own food bowl, water dish, you get the idea! Each cute little possible creature of chaos is well taken care of and well loved by Ashley and whoever is on staff!

They totally torment the staff, while being cute and cuddly though, no one believes the staff if a staff member sees red eyes.

The kittens only shift their red eyes out when very angry, its time for battle, or they want to be a little shit. Or you stepped on a tail. Run if you stepped on a tail.

The powers of the kittens include an over all increase in their abilities as cats. They have the abilities of adult cats and then some. They are also have sharper claws and teeth than domestic cats. They can swarm and work in a team with or without Ashley, extremely well trained and extremely smart!

Despite being called "kittens" they are most likely adults, but its hard to tell based off looks alone.

They don't wear collars but are rather dual microchipped. First for Ashley as their owner and second for tracking when Ashley has them out in the field.

They listen to Ashley 90% of the time! So that's good! Also they get a say in what gets stolen at times. Cat toys, treats, other things, Ashley finds its good training for her and her kittens!

What's the genetic make up? We don't know! Maybe bobcat? Lots of domestic? Prehistoric? Its Ashley who knows!!! She'd do anything to save her first kittens!

The looks are different than the show! I am using a picrew for these guys! Red eyes are only for fighting, but the blue and green are normal eye colors!

Blue eyes can still see, due to the eye color shifting! They aren't true blue eyed cats!

Relationship With Them: When he was small, he was put up for adoption by his birth parents under the grounds that they could not afford to take care of him and that they would want him to have a much better life than what they could have given him.

After a bit, he was then adopted by his foster parents who did initially love him, but soon wanted to shape him into something he didn’t want to be as well as making him completely obedient like a trained dog. They were also incredibly racist and basically forced Ayumu to change his name under the grounds he got to pick his own new name.

Circumstances arose which made his foster parents completely disown him, giving him the mansion he used to reside in as a ‘gift’ along with money to keep him quiet. Ayumu went on without anyone to call his family. Since Megan is his cousin from his adoptive family, he considered her disowned as well. [2]

After Jack gave Wuya the boot, she basically acts like his partner-in-crime but he really doesn’t force her to do anything she doesn’t want to. They chat like old friends and he’s helped her out when she needs it.

How Do They Think Others Perceive Them: Jack has been criticized by the media of his looks and the methods he chooses, as well as the criticism he gets on a daily basis from the Xiaolin and Heylin belligerents for his inability to fight for long periods of time.

Vocation

Profession: CEO of Spicer-Saito Tech, Heylin Belligerent.

Passions: Robotics, Technology, the arts.

Dreams: To get rid of all those that have hurt him, to make those that have made him suffer do exactly the same.

Greatest Fears: Dying before accomplishing his goals. Dying a meaningless death.

Most Ashamed Of: Not seeing why his foster parents wanted to change his name, not allowing himself to reach his full potential when fighting the monks.

Compulsions: Often has violent intrusive thoughts.  His face will often look as if he’s smelling something repulsive if he is thinking about them. This of course does not mean he will act out on them, as he has not ever done so.

What Do They Most Want To Change About Their Physical Appearance: He wants to look more like his race.

Details:

Daily Routine: Jack usually wakes up early due to his work. Before he got engaged in his business, he would wake up very late in the afternoon and stay up all night, rinse and repeat. Now, since Jack wakes up early, his morning routine consists of taking a shower, doing his hair and making sure he looks his best. This can take about two hours. Now he’s out of the door and off to his Office. He gets the rundown from Sora, his secretary on what needs to be done. He stays there taking calls and talking with potential partners until his office closes, then he’s off back home to rest and get some extra work in. Jack has Friday, Saturday and Sunday off which allows him to do extracurricular things and rest.

Night Owl or Early Bird: Early bird.

Light or Heavy Sleeper: Light sleeper. He has to sleep light so he can wake up instantly in case of an intruder and in case anyone tries to harm him.

Favorite Food: Anything with matcha in it.. All kinds of sweets, but pudding is his favorite. He also likes to eat a lot of meat and rice.

Least Favorite Food: Meat with fat on it, anything too spicy.

Favorite Movies: Horrors and thrillers.

Least Favorite Movies: None.

Favorite Music: If you can’t hear the music from his headphones, it’s not loud enough. He likes heavy metal, rock, and anything that is similar to these genres. He also likes K-Pop and J-Pop.

Crunchy or Smooth Peanut Butter: None. Jack hates peanut butter.

Lefty or Righty: Righty.

Cusser: Very much so.

Smoker/Drinker/Drug User: Minorly drinks. Never smokes or does drugs.

Biggest Regret: Allowing himself to be weak when he is not.

Pets: Three cats, and one German Shepard. He has a floor dedicated to his pets in his mansion, but always takes them out and treats them well.

Other Notes:

- Jack’s hair is curled. It is no longer spiked as it usually is, and reaches his shoulders, in some cases longer. Sometimes, his hair may cover his left eye, but only slightly (like, you can still see his eye, it’s not completely covered.

- If he cuts his hands while working or damages them worse than a cut, he’ll wear full fingered black leather gloves.

-When he sets his mind to it, Jack can actually be a great tactician and think of fool-proof plans. When he rushes into things, it is then he messes up.

-Jack really doesn’t mind his albinism. He would rather stay indoors and away from everyone, but in a logical sense, cannot stay indoors all of the time.

-Both Introverted and Extraverted.

-Jack can have severe panic attacks and sometimes hurt himself if he doesn’t calm down.

-He’s great with a couple of knives and has his own collection of them. He eventually got those knife throwing lessons on top of the ice-skating ones.

-Overly sexual and flirtatious. Nothing else to it.

-Deeply philosophical.

-He has modified his helipack to where two propellers now stick out from the bottom, so now there is both propellers on the top and bottom. When he needs to, they combine to form wings that further expand his movement. This is how he’s able to reach different parts of the country so quickly and fly to others.

-Jack is a ruthless businessman, having built it on his own without the help of anyone, mainly based on various technologies and newly innovative robotics. He runs it kind of like a monopoly and has had controversy in which he has been accused of doing so, but no one has enough substantial proof. He’s had some run ins with Kimiko’s father, and hates Pandabubba to death.

Notes:

[1] Ayumu:  歩 (Ayu): “Walk” 夢 (Mu): “Dream, vision.”

Saito:  斎 (Sai): “Purification, worship”  藤 (Tou): “Wisteria”

Sayo:  紗 ( 小 combined with  代): “small, generation” or  世 (yo), meaning “world”, so it can essentially mean “small generation” or “small world”.

[2] For the purposes of this blog, Jack has no relation to Megan unless it is in an AU.

[3] I won’t really have Jack get all religious. This is just to give you an idea on what he conforms to.

[4] Without the presence of an AU

[5] Without the presence of an AU

[6] Without the presence of an AU

[7] I don’t have a special story of how Jack lost his virginity. Just know it was purely consensual.

[multiandmany]

His hands are far from the cleanest... Do the monks know? The bigger question is, why is he telling her this? She's on the Heylin side after all. Being grey doesn't mean you don't have alliances.

He does have a point too though, she does have her times where she has done good, despite still doing crimes. Her favorite kind of good.

"Purrsicely~" Seems she's got a lot to learn and a long game to play here. A better challenge than the monks, but also... her cats like him. Animals are very good judges of character after all.

"Oh you won't catch us there, but we'll try to not cause too much trouble, but that depends on how bored I get. Then again, there's always Jack to annoy. Come on kittens, its time to go!~" She takes off her pack and the cats watch Venti for a moment before running over and climbing in. Afterwards she puts the travel pack back on and gives him a toothy grin before running off.

Surprising pleasent! She’s off to nag Jack and maybe get some answers from him, if not, at least she'll have some fun!

What costumes would the Xiaolin muses wear for Halloween?

I hate to say it Anon, but I have no idea. Halloween isn't something I know much about.

I can only really be sure of one of them. Katnappe would just straight up walk around in her villian outfit or another similar cat outfit.

She'd uses the day to steal.

[multiandmany]

So he had kittens... but he was allergic? Something wasn't adding up, but the pain is understandable.

Her kittens didn't like being separated. Not in the slightest. If they did get separated, they would work to get back to each other, even if it meant lots of trouble.

If one was lost like that... the others would be very upset.

Hearing Venti explain he's morally grey has her surprised slightly, however the actions he's shown? It makes sense.

"My, someone who actually can think beyond the lines laid out, thats a nice change."

She purrs some, she's even more curious now! "It is very freeing, if you can fully pull it off. A lot fake it, some very poorly." Like Spicer, his attempts are extremely amusing to her... and sad. For how long she's known him.

Oh well! She's got her life together! That's all she cares about! That and her kittens! Oh and what she owns, she's stolen some very shine things.

@crossed-worlds

[multiandmany]

"Genuine." He's lucky to know some skilled people? At the temple? Did the monks do this? If so she'd love to know how.

"I always carry something for them to play with, they are sweet, but their claws do come out." They can be rowdy from having to travel so much.

Him mentioning not being able to stay long has her shifting her stance. Hands on her hips, leaning on her left leg, and a smirk on her face. Did he alart the others she was here?

"If they want to fight me, they can try.~ They haven't been able to beat me yet!" Was the first thing out of her mouth.

However, she then focuses on her kittens. He's concerned about them? Why? She's on the Heylin side and she tried to steal the Shen Gong Wu!

"You must really love cats." Or have something else going on... Her tail swishes behind her. She's a theif, a con artist, and more.

Venti must be really kind. Or really stupid. ... She should make a trip to see the idiot genius, and if he knows anything. If not she can still bug him. That makes her face go ':3' since she loves messing with Jack.

@crossed-worlds

[multiandmany]

He's showing off more of his magic, she gets to see more! More information is always good! Even if there is no way she can fight him, information can be very important.

Plus this is cool to watch.

The swirling feathers were an instant hit with the cats. Just like some of their toys! The fact the feathers vanish confuse them greatly though. Where'd they go?!

"A cat person allergic to cats, glad you found something to help with those allergies." Well she is and she isn't. Someone who likes cats should be able to enjoy them, but her only advantage against Venti is gone.

@crossed-worlds

[multiandmany]

Technically doesn't exist... Hm... Hard to do in this day and age. She got a name though, Venti. She smiles. "Venti, an interesting name for a curious person."

The cats finish up the fish rather quickly. They were hungry, but they were always hungry just about. However, after this... they look at Venti. Does he have more fish? And does he like to play?

Time to find out! So they turn up the charm and the whole lot of them come over and start to meow and purr, one of them even dares to attempt to get closer but Katnappe calls out to it.

"Don't rub all over him, you don't know where he's been!" That stops the attempt. You shall remain free of cat hair for now Venti.

@crossed-worlds

[multiandmany]

Brightens up his boring days? Her? She grows a bit at first, was she being made fun of?

Of course he thinks he knows why she's here! For the Shen Gong Wu! Not today though! And-!

Why did he just offer her kittens fish? She's confused. She doesn't recognize this kind of fish.

The kittens know how powerful Venti is, they're not stupid. Its why they didn't go after him the second time in the vault, despite orders. They are unease about him, but they don't smell anything wrong with it. Besides, free fish!

At least she know the fish is safe, Xiaolin rules. However. Still the wrong reason! At least for today!

"You'd be wrong this time. I simply came to observe. You're a very curious person. I can't put a name to your face with my other skills, so I came to some recon.~" She has no reason to lie, she's at the disadvantage here.

@crossed-worlds

[multiandmany]

This spooked Katnappe, who had been trying to sneak up to the temple's outer walls to get a better look at things, to plan. She jumps like a startled cat, landing on all fours, hissing.

Oh. Its him! The one who's allergic to her kittens! She stands up with a smirk, so he knows her evil name. "How purrfect, just the one I wanted to see, isn't that right kittens?"

The little fur balls quickly come out, thankfully without orders to attack, they're just watching right now.

A few seconds pass and Katnappe looks confuse before she then lightly drags one of her clawed hands down her face. "Of course you took something for your allergies."

There goes her advantage, her one advantage against him.

@crossed-worlds

[multiandmany]

Master Fung was going to stop Katnappe, but he notices Venti say something to him. So Venti had it covered, he moves out of the way as the thief runs out with the bag, the kittens following.

Once he was sure they were gone, he goes over to Venti, he's concerned. "Are you alright?"

Katnappe is happy! She won! She's got the Shen Gong Wu! First she's getting out of here before she does anything else though. Her and her kittens, all of them are going home to celebrate and check their haul!

@crossed-worlds

[multiandmany]

She looks inside and watches, soon grinning. Oh he can't see now, perfect! She can grab her bag and go!

That was the original plan, but the catgirl notices the Monkey Staff, why was it against the wall? She gets it now, he's trying to be sneaky. She lets out a whistle, she's calling her cats. She's not falling for that so easily.

"Allergies getting the best of you?~ I'm so sorry, maybe next time I'll bring some hairless cats~" She's teasing him as the kittens come in. She doesn't need them to attack, she just needs them in the room, with him.

And with the cats, comes Master Fung, who followed them.

"That'll be quiet enough of that." He speaks firmly, startling Katnappe, who hisses at him.

Its just an old man! She can take him! So can the kittens! She sends them after him but they are soon sent back, not hurt, but rather repelled with techniques he knew. They are a little dizzy though. That was fast!

Katnappe wasn't expecting him to move so fast for an old man! She goes after the bag while the kittens try again, she'll leave the Monkey Staff, that's Jack problem!

@crossed-worlds

[multiandmany]

Uh oh. She couldn't grab onto the door fast enough and outside she goes with the kittens, at least she finds kitten number five outside, who was trying to figure out a way inside. All of them are all together.

She's glad that her kittens are okay, now to get back inside! She'll have to be careful, she tells her kittens to stay and guard the path to freedom because someone had to have heard that, she's going back inside! That's her stolen goods! She's going to be more careful this time and try to avoid getting blown back outside so easily, sticking to walls she can claw onto.

The sounds cause Master Fung to turn towards the vault, that wasn't normal. He's going to go check. While not nearly as powerful as Venti by any means, he could still fight. He stops before he gets too close, seeing the cats, raising an eyebrow. Didn't Dojo tell him about white cats when they lost the Golden Tiger Claws?

Ah yes, Katnappe, the thief. Venti can handle her, but what was with the sound? It sounded like a sneeze?

@crossed-worlds

[multiandmany]

Master Fung gives a nod. "Yes." He soon gets to work dealing with the food. He knows Venti will take care of the temple while the dragons and Dojo are away.

There are other ways to get inside, if you have the right tools, like climbing. She's inside the walls of the temple but... what's with the barrier around the vault? This wasn't here a second ago and Raimundo wasn't here! Who did this!?

Maybe she can get up to the top another way. Hm... She starts to think, then gets an idea, the building near by is another the same height, she can climb her way up, the let one of her kittens in for a distraction in case someone's inside.

So that's what she does, up to one building, then over to the vault, barely making. She lets out one of her kittens, it makes it way down to the ground easily, and inside.

A cute white little kitten, wanders inside and over to Venti mewing like its lost, then just so happens to look at him. Its fluffy and adorable and gives him those cute eyes all cats can. Is it hungry? Lost?
