"I have enough nightmares to deal with. I don't need one more."
It is needless to say that the leader of the Wonderland absolutely abhors the system of Minimum. Cat wishes to create a new world, one without the restrictions of the false notion of equality, one with limitless opportunities, and one where freedom is allowed. A "mad" notion, they said. And that's why she named her group Wonderland. A land supposedly "mad", but free of restrictions and chains that bind them to a nightmarish Dystopia.
*∞ Height & Weight ∞
5'3" 106 lbs
∞ Hair ∞
Reddish Brown, styled in a way that makes it seem as if her hair forms cat ears.
∞ Eye color ∞
"Just a warning. Don't look into my eyes."
True Color: Deep Purple
However, people don't know her true eye color, given that most can't look her straight in the eye. When they do, even without her using her hiatus, they get a tinge of fear and discomfort, for her eyes usually reflect the things they fear most.
*∞ Distinguishable Facial Features ∞
Her trade-mark smile: One often can describe her grin perfectly with that of "the grin of a Cheshire Cat", mischievous, mysterious and knowing.
∞ Birthmarks/Scars/Tattoos/Piercings ∞
"Funny. How my number appears the opposite from his ."
She has a few scars running down her arm. It looks self-inflicted, but she always covers it up so no one can see. Her core number XVI can be found on the right side of her neck.
∞ Physical Description ∞
The first word that comes to people's minds when they see Cat would be "mischievous". Her small build, facial features and that grin all make her up to seem as a mischievous child. However, she doesn't usually allow many people to get within a distance of her. Her eyes that seemingly look purple from a distance morph into different faint images as one stares into them. Fear is created but it isn't just accidental. Within her eyes they can see their worst nightmares, dreams, and memories.
The uniform of Wonderland, or Landers, is what she always has on. Her Victorian styled dress with the large bow in front of her chest is her signature choice of clothing. The pompous red and white dress is actually a hassle to walk in, but always having a love for the old-fashioned, that style is what she chose to define Wonderland.
✦ { Closing Her Eyes } A weird habit she has developed in which one can constantly find Cat simply shutting her eyes from the world, burying her head in her hands. Such is so that she can escape the nightmarish world and into the comforting darkness of her mind.
✦{ Victorian Dresses } A liking for the old-fashioned, one can never catch Cat without one of her pompous Victorian-styled dresses which she chose as the symbol of Wonderland.
✦{ Sweets } Not limited to simply tea and biscuits, Cat is practically always eating sweets, which she finds comforting in a sense.

∞ Fears ∞
✘ { Fear of Crowds } She doesn't usually go out of her comfort zones, for crowds would mean more chains and nightmares for her to see. Although it has become a part of her life, she nonetheless does not wish to have nightmares and memories haunt her every step she takes.
✘ { Claustrophobia } Cat fears restrictions, physically and mentally and thus cannot stand to be in a tight space.
✘ { Fear of the Ocean } She doesn't know why, but she has never dared to step into an ocean with all its depths and mysteries.
∞ Flaws ∞
✘ { Rashness } Though sometimes being daring is a great trait, it often turns into rashness in which she does not think twice before pursuing something she wants, often not caring for the consequences.
✘ { Temper } When Cat loses her temper, all hell breaks loose. She is able to hold a grudge against someone for a long time, relentless in her acts of revenge.
✘ { Relentless ll Stubbornness } If someone challenges her, she will never back down from it. Her patience and determination in such cases are vast, but it often leads her into much trouble, never giving up nor willing to change her beliefs for her own well-being.
∞ Secrets ∞
⌛ { Her Feelings for the Sonic Boom Leader} No matter how much one asks, she'll never give them anything other than the fact that Ryota is a traitor. However, there is definitely something deeper than that, a history that haunts the two.
⌛{ Her World } She would not bother to tell others how her world looks like because no one will truly understand. It is a dark world, one where it is a constant nightmare to walk through, filled with others' lingering fears and memories.
⌛ { Her Wish For a Happily Ever After } With all her readings of the tales of knightly valor and happily ever afters, she also wishes one for herself. However, years later, after the pain, betrayals and nightmares, she has lost all hope in that idea and simply accepting that the world is a constant nightmare and perhaps madness is the only escape.
"My world is made up of chains. You can't see them, but trust me, they're a nightmare to deal with."
Illusion Chains
No one could ever understand exactly what Cat sees. Through her eyes, her entire world is made up of dark chains that hang from everyone's bodies, trailing along the ground. These chains bind that person to their worst fears, nightmares, and memories. With one touch, she can see exactly what haunts their minds, but with her touch, that person is able to see the chains that is bound to themselves, materializing before them in its physical state. With Cat, her weapon exists anywhere and everywhere. She just has to pull on them.
∞ Error ∞
"You think you're fearless don't you? Let me show you what you're afraid of."
Phobia Exploitation
Her world is a nightmare. The chains that bind those to their worst fears, nightmares and memories are reflected in her eyes, able to see past a person's facade and into their terrifying realm of imagination. With a pull on the chains that bind them, she is able to choose between their fears and exploit them with her illusions. Cat can make one experience their worst fear, see their dead families come back to life, and even take on the form of what they fear most.
However, each power comes with a price. Her world is made up of nightmares, able to see and sometimes even experience the fears of those around her. Cat cannot make one experience death, or torture, for it can be reflected back on herself. Her illusions do not have the ability to harm, but merely to freeze one with fear, especially those with weak minds. Although many times her victims harm themselves in the progress.
Sense Manipulation
With her power over phobia exploitation, Cat has a limited control over sense manipulation. Through direct contact, she is able to cloud one's senses altering and manipulating them as she wishes. Sight, smell, hearing, touch, taste, balance, and pain can all be altered under her touch. The most effective aspect of using this error is by pushing her own senses onto another, making them see or feel what she feels. However, if one breaks from her touch, her abilities no longer extend to that person.
∞ Personality ∞
{Mischievous ll Stubborn ll Open-Minded ll Accepting ll Vengeful ll Daring ll Rash ll Manipulative ll Playful}
Having a love for fun, the leader of Wonderland is definitely mischievous in her pranks and games, especially taking interest in mind games and manipulation. Cat would never back down from a challenge if put up to it, daring and adventurous in her methods. However, such often leads her into trouble when she would not accept the fact that she may not be able to succeed in some of the challenges. Her rash nature often dominates her common sense, pushing her to attempt things that would endanger her safety. Even so, she would never accept defeat, always persisting in both her actions and beliefs.
Open-minded to those that she accepts into her gang, she gives them a chance at earning her trust. However, if one were to break her trust and betray her, her methods in revenge are always blood-curling, for her vengeance is not something to be messed with nor her ability to hold long grudges. However, the members she accept into Wonderland are quite diverse, due to her accepting nature and distaste for rules and restrictions. For her gang, she promotes freedom and fun, allowing the members to do anything as long as it pushed forward their cause and as long as it got on Core's last nerves.

∞ History ∞
The world is made up of chains. At least, that was Cat's world. What others call their nightmares, she called them her life. Through her eyes, all she has ever seen were the nightmares of others, those that haunt many to the edges of insanity, she bore with strength. But by each day, it took away a part of her. As a child, perhaps her nightmares were not nearly as horrid as the real world.
There was only one family she has ever known. It was made up of four kids, each fighting for each other. Cat loved them, having taken her in before she could even remember, truly she did. Especially one, one by the name of Ryota, who she had entrusted everything to. Creating FOCUS, the four caused havoc within Minimum, but to Cat, it was more than that. She took comfort within his midst and for him, she would have gladly given up her life. That is.. Until the day when betrayal struck.
As Core struck into the heart of the rebellious group, Cat and Ryota were assigned to stand guard against the appearance of Core. However, it was a trap. The two were strong, especially as a team. The winner would have been evident, especially as Cat dealt her damaging blow, her chain entwined around Mitsuki's throat. Then... Darkness. That was all she remembered, just as Ryota flashed before her, knocking her away from Mitsuki, the chain coming loose from her hands. Why...? As her head cleared, her gaze laid on her childhood friend with the leader of Core. Traitor.. She was smart, waiting until Mitsuki's leave before she confronted Ryota with suspicions of betrayal. But it was futile, for her friend avoided her questions, her gazes and her.
He betrayed their cause, her trust, and her feelings for him. And for that, she broke away from the group and swore revenge. For years, she deemed Ryo as the traitor that caused the failure of the plan and nearly the lives of the four friends. Always having a love for freedom, she wanted to create a world where there are no restrictions or rules. The others called her "mad" for thinking so, and thus, she created a world of madness: Wonderland. Creating Wonderland, she made a name for her new family, one which she will ensure will not betray her. To her, betrayal from the cause is the ultimate crime.
