Her right side is a series of tiny white scales, small enough to appear smooth, while her left side is covered in several jagged layers of red, a thick ribbing that makes her left side the more protected of the two. She and her twin must combine to make what seems to be a very pointless alternate mode - a large red button. However, despite the seeming pointlessness, she is capable of forming the smaller, taller button by herself. Because of this, her feline mode appears like a very strange throw-in of fairly random pieces of coloring.
A thin blue line runs down her spine and from the center of her chest down her belly, while there is red armored on the top of her head, her ears, and the top of her nose, leaving the rest to be a shining grey that eventually gives in to the white. Teppa has very deep, dark red optics peeking out of all this, complimenting the constant flat, dull expression on her face. The black ridges on the larger alt mode provide a sort of exoskeleton for the back sides of the rear legs, and her tail is long and white. On her back right side is a symbol indicating that a cubic object should be placed on the button that is her team alt mode.------------------------------------------------------------------------------YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHO YOU'RE DEALING WITH

Personality: Teppa is a very sarcastic, biting creature, but a very laid back one. She doesn't see much point in acting out, but instead aids her sister in whatever possible. She doesn't see a point to much of anything, really, and if it weren't for her sister, she'd probably just deactivate herself. Life is a drudgery for her, and even more so when there's nothing to do.
She's not much of a fighter normally, but if you threaten to hurt her sister, even jokingly, she's all business. This is her at her most animated. She has little in the way of weaponry, other than teeth and sharp claws, but she will fling herself fully at anybody who dares threaten her sister.
She is very intelligent, as well. She loves to solve puzzles and answer questions, but usually only puzzles and questions her sister finds. They intrigue her, but she has no motivation to find them on her own. Her only motivation is her sister, and staying alive to keep her well, making her a very cautious creature do to her lack of most natural weapons and the seeming surplus of people who might come to attack them.
Strengths: A fighting spirit. Despite her depression and inability to self-motivate, when the time comes she can snap into reality like an entirely different cat, and will do whatever it takes to get things done.
Weaknesses: Lack of natural weaponry and her general near-suicidal depression tends to put a damper on her overall chances at success in life. These two major weaknesses define her character, and her caution.------------------------------------------------------------------------------THE SKELETONS IN YOUR CLOSET
Family: Tenna (Twin Sister)
History: It was an accident that brought them to life, a shaking of the system, a break in of an extremely rare pocket of energon during the reign of Wheatley. It was in the system. It infected them, and brought them, gradually, to life.
Ever since Teppa came to life, Teppa has seen life as pointless. She and Tenna were constantly placed in different areas, shuffled around, shifted, randomly reorganized. Pushed and pulled, left to rust. They were there, barely, for the end of Wheatley's reign, and then for the testing of Atlas and Peabody. After that, everything seemed... Dry. She was without purpose. Her sister was going insane, having to sit still, having to obey. So they left.
There was no fancy announcement, no special give and take. They managed to circumvent GLaDOS, and were able to quite literally plug into the system, getting through whatever they needed. The bi-colored cats had a system going. This was the only time in her life that Teppa had felt truly and honestly alive. She had a purpose - and that was to escape.
But once they got out, everything, again, seemed to halt. What meaning was there for them to continue? Teppa took care to watch her seemingly unstable sister. She took care not to overstep any sort of code they developed, no matter how temporary and silly. But it all seemed so pointless.
Then they found their first human. It was strange, seeing them in a non-laboratory area. Tenna immediately went to say hello, to Teppa's dismay... When the human panicked, running away. Tenna had thought it to be a game. Teppa knew better. She tried to get her sister to come back, but she wouldn't. And then the human turned around to fight.
Teppa was not proud of that day. The human lived, but only barely. It was then that the two cats vowed to never speak with another human. They were cruel creatures. It was then that Teppa found a purpose to life: to protect Tenna. She wasn't sure what her sister's purpose was, but maybe... Maybe it was worth it.
Still today the two wander, neither sure of where their next adventure will be.------------------------------------------------------------------------------IS THAT ALL YOU HAVE TO SAY?
Weaponry: Teeth, claws, and wits.
Extra: Nothin' much. Double alt mode in the picture above, other than that, this is pretty much it.------------------------------------------------------------------------------WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW ABOUT MEWhat an ugly, out of the way pond. Why did this kind of thing always catch Tenna's attention? Teppa watched with indifference as Teppa took rapt interest in a nearby toad. What was so interesting about it? The fact that it's throat moved? That it wasn't scared of her? Big deal.
Then the water. She stuck her paw in it. Why would she stick her paw in it? She did that earlier, too. It was strange. The cat seemed obsessed with water. There was nothing strange about it. It was wet. Yippie. Maybe, eventually, they could get moving.
Tenna looked up at her, and she seemed excited, but seemed to instantly calm when seeing Teppa's expression. Teppa kind of hated ruining her fun, but somebody had to do it. They couldn't stay there forever. She walked away from the murky area, at least moderately glad to be moving with Tenna beside her.
