Appearance:

Nera is a magical and fairy-like Bengal tiger and marbled Bengal cat hybrid, which resembles a chimera cat. Her right and her left side differ very much: Her ride side is almost entirely black and her left side is white with a pink and light pink marble-like striped pattern. In addition, she has three adorable heart-shaped spots on her body: One of them is bigger, light pink and sits on her left paw. The second one is smaller, dark pink and can be found on her left upper hindleg. The third and the smallest one is light pink and is on her lower right belly. It is the only mark she has on her black right side. She has a mid-long and fluffy tail. It's right side is almost fully black, except one little white part and it's left side has pink marbled stripes and a white tip. She is slim, elegant and quite fluffy. Her fur is extremely soft and silky and it is very shiny when the sun is shining directly onto it. She has heterochromia, her right eye is dark pink and her left eye is bluish-grey. On her left eye she has the typical pointy line which looks just like the cat eyes makeup. She has a cute triangular-shaped dark pink nose and her paw pads (beans) are light pink. She has no whiskers

Abilities:

  • Nera has the incredible ability to control water to a certain extent. She can magically filter and condense water from the air and can pour it wherever she desires. She can even partially control the weather by summoning rain. This special kind of power requires a lot of magical energy. After being used, it takes quite a while, mostly several days for her powers to be recovered and regained. That's why she only makes use of it, if it is really necessary. Though, there is one other way for Nera to make it rain, namely through her emotions. Surprisingly, when strong emotions are in play, almost no magical energy will be used. The then summoned rain depends on the current strong emotion: When Nera feels very sad and gloomy, the clouds will be darker than usual and the caused rain will be quite heavy. When feeling enraged, a strong thunderstorm with almost black clouds will occur. When feeling very happy and joyful, a soft and light rain with a lot of sunshine in between the almost white clouds will be triggered and this combination causes big and beautiful rainbows to appear   

  • She is an excellent swimmer and diver and, thanks to her magical powers, she is able to even breathe under water and the pressure of the water has no effect on her. It also does not matter whether she is in fresh- or saltwater. Her very smooth and silky fur supports her while moving under water without the need of any fins whatsoever. She can easily track objects or other creatures that are located under the surface, even when being deep down in the water

  • When she swims or dives at dark and/or very deep places or depths, she magically starts to glow at her white and pink left side. If Nera wishes to not glow for whatever reason, she can actively stop it. She can only glow in water, she is not able to emit light from her body while being on land

  • She has the ability of speech and she speaks and understands many different human languages of our world. Of course she is able to interact with her fellow species and other animals and creatures. She can even translate to a certain extent

  • She is able to see in the dark, even under deep water and, unlike other tigers and cats, she can see almost all existing colours

 

Weaknesses:

  • Although barely any energy is used up by summoning rain through emotions, most of the time Nera is not able to control the rain she is causing, since these kinds of rains just happen to occur every time she feels certain strong emotions. Often, she doesn't actually want these rains to occur

  • Water, especially water from lakes, oceans etc. is very important to her and her body. Not being exposed to it for a longer period of time may cause her to lose her magical powers slowly. It also affects her well-being and she could even start to get depressed

  • Just as Sylvi and Nippy, whenever she would lose her magical powers for whatever reason, she will turn into an ordinary Bengal tiger and marbled Bengal cat hybrid with one blue (right) and bluish-grey (left) eye, a greyish-brown marbled and striped fur pattern on her left side and her heart markings will be replaced with ordinary spots

  • Sometimes she is in a state of internal conflict. On the one hand she wants to be sweet, kind and elegant creature, but on the other hand she wants to be a tough, wild and swag tiger and cat hybrid

  • Discovering and exploring (especially the depths of waters)

 

Dislikes:

  • Hate

  • War

  • All kind of violence

  • Rudeness

  • Boredom

  • Too much seriousness

  • Others acting fake or being dishonest towards her

  • Dryness, hot sunny days and desert-like places

  • Being involved in embarrassing situations

  • Feeling weak and not tough enough

  • When others call her a tomboy

  • Loss of control

 

Further Information:

  • Nera's name fits pretty well to her appearance, since her name can either mean "black" like her right side, or "light" like her left side. Both sides also kind of reflect her mixed personality. On the one hand she is kind, graceful and sweet (represented by her left side) and on the other hand she is tough, wild and swag (represented by her right side)

  • She has an entirely vegetarian diet, even though she is a tiger and cat hybrid. Her favourite foods are vegetables, fruits and nuts

  • She was born in the Land of Eternal Dawn. This place is very similar to the Land of Eternal Dusk, but the land is in a state of eternal dawn. Thus the sky, the landscape, the plants etc. look different. In general, the colours of the Land of Eternal Dawn are more pastel-like, while the ones of the Land of Eternal Dusk are more intensive and vibrant. When it's about their population currently, it is difficult to tell where the individual inhabitants come from, since both lands are strongly connected and networked with each other. This particular alliance is responsible for the fact that their creatures bear a close resemblance to each other. It is therefore as good as impossible to tell which being was born in the Land of Eternal Dusk or Dawn. Currently, Nera lives in the Land of Eternal Dusk and is also planning to stay

  • She and every here presented Land of Eternal Dusk resident are good friends
