Personality

Was a young kid with a grandmothers taste in sweets.

Kay had a semi objective diagnostic system where they would work out who would stay<ref> - Excerpt from Interlude 9.x II</ref> the criteria are based on physical wellbeing, than mental wellbeing, and the progression of her transition,<ref>"health, mind/emotion, girl." allegedly said by Wildbow on Cauldron Discord server and the IRC</ref> a tiebreaker exists based on the aforementioned candy.<ref>“We all need something to fall back to,” K said. “When we lose track of ourselves. If we run into a tie and we’re supposed to decide among ourselves, we have a fourth number we track. Physical health, mental health, girl-ness, and the tiebreaker.”

“The candy?”

“Reminds me of the woman who raised me,” K said, sucking on the candy “If I ever don’t like it or I don’t feel reminded of those days, I’m not me.” - Excerpt from Interlude 9.z II</ref>

Relationships

The Youth Guard had stepped in to ensure she was treated well.<ref>“I…” Mr. Vaughn said. “Find myself in a difficult position. On a certain level, I very much agree. Where I’m leery is that we have had attention from the Youth Guard. Gender freedom, freedom of expression, sexuality- they are touchy subjects.” - Excerpt from Interlude 9.y II</ref>

Appearance

A variation of cat themed costumes.<ref>Another person Byron couldn’t identify, hadn’t seen in marketing. Newer, maybe. Lean, skinny, and fidgety. Her mask was like a cat’s, with ears that were worked into the side, sweeping back. Chain links ran down the black-bodysuit-covered neck and draped over the shoulders and over a flat chest. More chain decoration extended down the hands to oversized claw-gauntlets, which dangled from the elbow, leaving her hands free.

Abilities and Powers

Specialized duplicator that can create three, sometimes even four, duplicates that can act independently of each other. They have slightly different personalities and physical differences that can provide other benefits based on the separation.

When seperated the Furcates need to decide who 'stays' and who 'goes', possibly meaning they draw down on their reserves for remaining seperated and not choosing a posible Furcate to 'substantiate'.<ref>“It changed based on our relationship to each other,” Tristan said. “I did- I did something.”

“No. That was your power, and powers can be cruel.”

“I- it’s my fault.”

“No. Sometimes the powers do this. Sometimes I don’t get any good Furcates for weeks on end.” - Excerpt from Interlude 9.z II</ref>

Tactics

Very fond of flanking with the person they trust implicitly.<ref>As the darts started getting flung in their direction, they swapped back and forth, closing the distance, forcing Paris to retreat further. Furcate flanked, because they loved flanking. Coiffure moved out to the other side, her hair creating limbs she could move on, chains and whip noisy against the concrete of the dock.

Paris stopped being quite so conservative with the darts. He threw them out in messy ways, toward Furcate, who split into two, toward Coiffure. They were lower velocity, landing in clumps, but the resulting sprays were violent and harder to work around. - Excerpt from Interlude 9.y II</ref>
