Species: Catgirl =^o.o^=

Age: In Her Early Twenties, Presumably (#younglyfe)

Profession: Pest Exterminator (Extraordinaire)

Description: Imagine, if you will, a lithe lass with lightly tanned skin. She's no less than a head shorter than you are, but despite her tiny stature, it is immediately apparent that she's as fit as a fiddle (toned, not muscly). Her eyes are inky black ravines raked into a field of Evening Primrose. Her subdued orange ears, afloat in a sea of black silk, pivot toward you a fraction of a degree as she, ensconced within a cloud of smoke, silently appraises you. A smile tugs at the corners of her ruddy lips as she takes a drag on the cigarette pressed between until all that remains of the glowing stick is a lifeless stump. Seductively, she rubs the cigarette into an ashtray to her left, a single claw extending from the tip of her index finger as she does so, and exhales. As if she was a great dragon, smoke billows out of her incisive maw and rolls over her (button) nose. Without a word she turns away, her striped black and orange tail idly dangling behind her as she leans over the counter to order a drink.

Costume: In her off hours, Misty wears a solid white camisole, jeans, and black-and-white checkered sneakers. When she goes on duty, Misty dons a clean white jumpsuit (a la Ghostbusters) and steel-toed black workboots. Unless stated otherwise, Misty's hair is bundled into a ponytail.

Backstory: Misty had the misfortune of being the runt of her litter, by which I mean she was born small, frail, and sickly. Her parents did not have high hopes for her survival. Rather than waste their time and efforts on keeping Misty alive, Misty's parents, who were in the process of immigrating to Inside at the time, abandoned Misty before they grew attached to her, leaving her alone in the woods to die less than a week after she was born. That would have been the end of Misty if not for the druid Eum who discovered her nestled within a bed of Evening Primrose as he was collecting ingredients for one of his "world-famous" elixirs that evening. Without hesitation, Eum took Misty into his arms and returned to his community. The druids nursed Misty back to health and raised her without incident until her fifteenth birthday when she accidentally killed the eldest druid's favorite bird and several other rare animals he had tamed. Misty was banished from the community, so she, like her parents before her, packed up what little she owned and set out for the City of Inside. Nearly half of a year later, after countless trials and setbacks, Misty arrived in the City of Inside. She quickly gained employment with a pest control company that valued her willingness to put what the druids taught her to good use. Living in the city wasn't as easy as Misty had thought it would be. For the first few months, Misty felt as if she was always learning lessons the hard way - lessons like don't go outside at night and don't take a detour through the Red Zone for any reason. She enrolled herself in self-defense and firearms-training classes, even going so far as to found her neighborhood's neighborhood watch (which was more of a volunteer militia than a neighborhood watch, truth be told). Soon after, Misty realized that she was one of the best (if not the best) exterminator in the company's employ. In the same instant, it dawned on her that animals weren't the only creatures she could make money exterminating. Ghosts, demons, and, hell, even people could infest buildings, and if a building was infested, there was a good chance that somebody was willing to cough up oodles of money to be rid of the infestation. Misty resigned from the company some years ago and has been running Infestation Inc. ever since.
Note: The management of Infestation Inc. has forbade the employees of Infestation Inc. (all one of them) from exterminating people. People are humanely extracted from target sites with traps and mild irritants. If you are looking for a more permanent solution to your infestation, please contact a mercenary company, the mafia, or a gaggle of hitmen.
