Character Reference
Personality
When her energy is at its peak, Mika's true personality shines. She's very excitable and playful. She loves to run and chase, and finds it hard to stay still for long periods of time, getting very fidgety and restless. Like most cats, she's very curious and she often sticks her nose into things she shouldn't, which includes conversations that she's not really apart of. She will sometimes act hastily, which may get her into trouble.
Mika does have a quick temper, it doesn't take much to irritate her, especially when she's starting to lose her energy.

Powers and Abilities
Mika's most notable ability is her ability to absorb sunlight for energy. When the sun is out, her leafy mane opens and she sits in the sun while her leaves absorb the energy. She's basically solar powered.
When she's reached a sufficient amount of energy her mane "closes" (really "droops") and Mika will be ready to go. When her energy is at its highest, she's very playful, energetic and boisterous. She'll also be highly attentive and aware of everything around her. However, as her energy drains, she will start to become tired and eventually rather lethargic. She normally takes in enough energy to last a whole day (given that the morning weather is good). Sleeping conserves her energy, so she is usually safe at night from running out of energy completely.
In the event Mika does lose all of her energy, she will go into a comatose state. She can be brought back by exposing her to sunlight, though it will take much longer for her to get the energy she needs. If she is not exposed to sunlight she will remain comatose until she eventually dies.
The rose on the end of Mika's tail is not only beautiful and smells nice, but it's also an indication of how much energy she has (apart from her obvious changes in movement and mood). When she's fully energised, the rose will be in full bloom and it will slowly close during the day as her energy drains. She can use her tail as a whip if she needs to, but she much prefers to use her teeth and claws if she needs to protect herself.

Miscellaneous Information
♦ When she eats, she regains a little bit of lost energy. She'd have to eat a lot of food to get the kind of energy that she gets from the sun.
♦ In the event her rose gets cut, sliced, otherwise removed from her tail, she will simply grow a new one. It takes a few weeks though. |
♦ She needs natural light to energise her. Artificial light will do little to nothing.
♦ Because of her needing sunlight to survive, she becomes very nervous during days when there's heavy cloud cover, or when she's unable to collect sunlight for extended periods of time. |
