Madeline "Felinaura"

One part of a dynamic duo. The freakish result of a successful genetic merger experiment, she was passed into the foster care system at an early age after the press exposed the government for raising her in a restrictive white cell for various testing purposes. After a lifetime of harassment over her more animalistic features, she's reclusive, hiding away in her apartment in a small nowhere town, or working at a dilapidated gas station; the only one in town, just off an interstate highway. Now she smokes and runs the cash register. It's an easy job, and one without the piercing stares of hundreds she never grew accustomed to. 

Trivia:

1. Her irises are bioluminescent, though this is only observable under low-light conditions.

2. Her last name is a gift from Ryss. Not terribly original, though.
