Description

A modern interpretation of baka-neko in Japanese pop culture. It represents a girl with feline features (for example, ears, tail, eyes, etc., while cat ears can be in addition to human ones), but in general with a human body. Its frequent attribute is bells, which are hung on different parts of the body or perform the functions of hairpins. She has magical abilities or shapeshifting.
