Catelly

Catelly is the main character of Unyielding. She was once a respected male Shooter until she was transformed and cursed by the wizard Ronpan.

Background
Catelly was born as the son of Ole and Lena Branton, the owners of the Bumblebee Brewery. He became a Troubleshooter to join his wife, Ash, but did not complete his training until after her death. Years later, he was attacked by Ronpan, who had learned that the Shooter was prophecied to be involved in his death. Ronpan cast a curse to transform his victim into a woman, compel her to desperately seek sex with men, and be unable to convince others of her curse's existence. After three days, she sought out Kate to become a Shooter under her new identity as Catelly - the name of a cat she once knew. Though naked, broke, and stripped of her skills and physical abilities, she succeeded in proving herself to Danica and earning a place as her partner.

Appearance
Catelly's curse makes her vulnerable to physical transformations caused by her sexual experiences. In her base form, she is a short, curvy, soft-skinned redhead with green eyes and pale skin. She has full lips and is physically weak; she is often described as jiggly and unmuscular. Her hair is short and spiky, similar to her mother's, but color closer to her father's. She bears a strong resemblance to Ash, as Ronpan chose his curse to model its victim after their preferred partner's body.

In her casual outfit, she wears a white v-neck t-shirt and slate gray shorts. When prepared for battle, she wears chainmail over leather, fingerless gloves, a cloth hood, and a belt holding her kukri and spellbook.

Personality
Catelly is a focused, driven, and capable Shooter. She is both compassionate and highly practical, and often finds herself mediating situations within her team or with the people she encounters in her work. She is disgusted by her curse and tries to avoid succumbing to it as much as possible.
