Felis

"I love the looks on their faces when I take their pride and smash it against the ground."

Felis is Mezzo's Liepard and her Starter Pokémon.

Appearance

Felis has a normal appearance for a Liepard, except in the AU, where he is missing his tail.

Details

• Age: 12 (As of 2016)
• Birthday: December 25, 2004
• Nature: Sassy
• Ability: Limber
• Met: Castelia City (Purrloin)
• Ball: Premier
• Favorite move: Taunt
• Likes: Snappy remarks and his opponents' reactions to them, being petted by Mezzo
• Dislikes: Water, being touched by anyone else, loud noises, being ignored, Hydreigon (particularly Charybdis)

Name Basis

Felis is named for the Latin term for cat, and the genus that house cats belong to.

Personality

Felis is fond of snappy remarks to anyone and everyone he meets, though he's not completely heartless. He also has a bit of a spoiled attitude, proclaiming himself as Mezzo's "favorite" (which he is probably right about). However, there are a few people and mons he truly cares about.

Abilities in Battle

Felis generally prefers verbal abuse to physical abuse, but can certainly battle if needed. He relies more on speed than power, and also uses harassment to manipulate his opponent. While he is fast and does possess some powerful physical attacks, he cannot take hits well.

History

Mezzo received Felis' egg as a present from her parents on her ninth birthday. It hatched three days later into a Purrloin that Mezzo kept around as a house pet. When Mezzo started her journey, instead of getting a starter from the usual channels, she simply took Felis with her.

Achievements

• Once insulted Ho-oh and lived.
• He has also insulted Nadia many times, provoking her into a murderous rage and nearly getting himself killed.
• Caused a Blue Screen of Death in Mezzo's laptop, along with Nevermore.
• In the AU, he is the sole mon that survived Mezzo's attack on Undella Town, though he did lose his tail in the process.

Relationships

Felis and Sunny are friends, despite appearances. Felis has semi-affectionately nicknamed Sunny "runt" due to his small size. He has also taken a liking to Ren.

Felis is afraid of Charybdis, due to an incident shortly after her evolution where he was hit with a Dragon Pulse so powerful it prevented him from walking for a week. This has led to him developing a fear of other Hydreigon.

Felis hates Fortis as well, due to her treatment of him when he was a pet.

In the AU

Felis was the captain of the Black Guard and Mezzo's second-in-command. He was present at the attack on Undella Town, and his tail was cut off by Napoleon there. Like Mezzo, he became a double agent after Black City fell to Napoleon's invasion.

Trivia

• Felis has gained narrator powers on April Fools Days 2012 and 2013. Even while narrating, he's still afraid of Charybdis.
• Mezzo keeps a scratching post and bed for Felis at her house, mostly for nostalgia's sake as he's too big to use them since evolving.
• Felis can't read. This hasn't stopped him from attempting to criticize Sunny's writing skills.
• Felis and Celeste share a birthday. Felis is very annoyed by this.
