Background & History
Big Cat arrived on Earth carrying a God Ascension Foundation and concealed the true nature of her Taming Garden, an almost-complete Ark. Although she was described as a Tier 9 demigod at the time, she could not fully control the Ark without ascending to godhood. 426
Her attempted apotheosis followed a ruthless Life-type doctrine: life was prey, resource, and currency, while conflict would select the strongest. Her Mother Goddess Statue was a massive tree formed from accumulated flesh and blood. The ritual ultimately failed because its supposedly survival-of-the-fittest contest had been engineered so only she could win, contradicting the evolutionary rule she claimed to uphold. 752 996
After her “death,” Big Cat remained as a spirit linked to Lu PingAn and the Life Bank. Their early partnership was guarded and transactional: she concealed operational cores within the Garden, while Lu PingAn recognized that forcing her obedience would turn them into enemies. Over time, shared survival interests made her an increasingly reliable adviser. 87 89
As Kerdales’s suspected death spread among demigods, Big Cat asked Lu PingAn to inherit her legacy and help revive her. He accepted her experimental records and researchers, then began creating an avatar/body through Life-type creation studies. 1331 1332 1340
Appearance
Big Cat commonly appears as a huge feline, but can transform into a beautiful human girl. Her human form is noted for lake-colored eyes and an aura compared to that of a holy maiden. 87 138
- Her complete beastification produces distinctly feline eyes, fur, and a large fluffy white tail. 1362
- She has been called White Claw, contrasting Cat Cat’s codename, Black Claw. 258
- Her soul can inhabit constructed bodies, including the blonde, princess-dressed “Blood Cat” puppet. 1340
Personality
Big Cat is intensely survival-oriented, secretive, and calculating. Lu PingAn characterizes her as extremely conservative: unless success is sufficiently certain, she avoids major risks. 89 Her past apotheosis plan reflects a ruthless belief that life should be used efficiently, even as material for evolution. 752 872
She is also an exacting teacher. Her training for Cat Cat relied on repeated lethal simulations, pain, and punishment until correct reactions became instinct. 166 Yet she values independent understanding over rote inheritance; when teaching Lu PingAn Life-type creation, she insists that a borrowed blueprint cannot become his own “life system.” 1339
Despite her severity, Big Cat can be impulsive, forgetful, and emotionally transparent when discussing subjects she cares about. She becomes especially animated by Beast Tamer development, Fighter paths, and the prospect of cultivating strong creatures. 138 147 975
Abilities & Skills
Possession and Spirit Bodies
Big Cat can manifest through Life Bank-supported avatars and possess compatible bodies.
- While serving the Life Bank, she can use a semi-spiritual avatar fueled by Secret Realm energy to wield her own power. 166
- She possessed Lu PingAn for ten seconds through an Ability Borrowing Contract, effortlessly defeating the Sophist giant and killing Fang Wen. 254
- Her full-strength possession places an extreme burden on the host body; after a three-second burst, Lu PingAn experienced pain throughout his bones and cells. 1079
- Her God Descent training allows Lu PingAn to experience high-level physical control directly. 989 1079
Beast Taming and Biological Cultivation
Big Cat is an elite Beast Tamer specializing in spiritual awakening, selective breeding, magical-beast professions, and evolution.
- She identified Cat Cat’s Spirit Fusion potential and designed her progression toward the feline combat profession Cliffside Fang. 146 147
- She trains beasts through Spirit Awakening, selection, bloodline connection, magicalization, and Demonic Mutation. 656 662 679
- She emphasizes that Beast Tamers require long-term accumulation of species, biological modules, and high-quality breeding stock. 656 1984
- Her Taming Garden can provide complete courses that allow sufficiently intelligent battle beasts to acquire professions. 717
- She helped develop methods to control humans who lose themselves to beast instincts, treating them as beasts that can be trained, equipped, and directed through Beast Tamer methods. 1829
Life-Type Research and Creation
Big Cat possesses extensive Life-type knowledge, combining Scholar and Soldier paths with her main discipline into composite professions such as biologist, veterinarian, and Black Holy Grail-related systems. 969
- She can analyze biological mutations, combat physiology, and the weaknesses of evolved creatures. 124 227
- She customizes profession paths from forbidden tomes and Corpse Controller materials. 719
- She deciphers ancient scripts and explains their relation to high-level existences and True Words. 822
- She teaches that Life-type knowledge is raw material: each practitioner must form a personal system and understanding of life from it. 1339
- Her research includes body reconstruction; a viable new body for her soul requires high-level materials and Lu PingAn’s genes. 1331
Fighter Techniques and Combat Instruction
Big Cat has pursued the Fighter path to an exceptionally high level and regards physical control as central to combat.
- She recommends Fighter development for Beast Transformation users and dual cultivation with Runner, Rider, or Awakened paths to address the Fighter path’s limited range. 988 1004
- She taught Cat Cat to fight on all fours, using ambushes, explosive pounces, mobility, and javelins rather than human upright techniques. 375
- She advises Lu PingAn to develop a personal “equation for victory” through repeated combat and tactical refinement. 1038
- Her combat principle is the synchronization of consciousness and matter—spiritual consciousness controlling physical substance. 1079
Strategy and Intelligence
Big Cat provides long-range planning, battlefield assessment, and historical intelligence.
- She leaked information to the Special Task Force to disrupt cultist plans before they could mature. 165
- She advised Lu PingAn to wait until an Abyss Lord fell below Rule-level before entering the fight. 832
- She proposed using public conflict and “revenge” to establish humanity’s standing as an independent star-domain race. 896
- She maintains detailed knowledge of rival Life-types, ancient conflicts, hostile professions, and other quasi-gods. 891 975 1999
