Miyet, born Corey Davis, is a cat-girl, a Paladin of the Egyptian Goddess Bast.
Corey was a bit of a macho jerk who, unknown to himself, was manifesting as a mutant with an avatar trait. He accidentally invaded Bast's space in a dream and savaged one of her people. Bast gave him a choice of serving her as her Paladin, or dying. Not much of a choice, really.
As Bast's Paladin, he was transformed from a human boy into a catgirl.
Corey's family did not take this well, and she eventually had to leave them for her own safety.[1]
Background[]
Corey Davis was the youngest of two sons in a working-class family of modest means in Cherryville, Missouri, a strongly conservative place. His father has very conservative religious views and old-fashioned ideas regarding masculinity and gender roles, although he does not have a problem with mutants, thinking the country needs them to protect America from the "godless hordes." Both his father and older brother work at a factory in nearby Steelville, while Corey's mother is a homemaker.
Not surprisingly, Corey absorbed those values from his environment. Before his transformation, he was strongly interested in bodybuilding as a way to exhibit masculinity, and had rather misogynistic views about his relationship with girls, seeing them as disposable objects.
General Description[]
Post-transformation, she has a cute feminine face, human except by her green-gold cat eyes with Egyptian symbols around them and a second pair of feline ears on top of her head, and shoulder-length, dirty-blonde hair. Her body has sensuous curves and an ample bosom, covered by a fine layer of fur in the same color as her hair, giving it a golden sand color which still looks like skin. She also has a feline tail which, like her ears, is the same color as the faint fur and very noticeable. When happy, she sometimes purr like a cat.[1]
Bast has offered to change the coloration of Miyet's eyes, fur and hair if she wishes. The fur and slitted eyes may also eventually be removed by Bast, however, at a cost:
- Bast chuckled a little. *Perhaps in time I will pull the soft fur and slitted eyes from you. But it is a good color for your skin. Be good and I will make you more human. (...) Be good and I will take that from you, but you may loose some of your gifts due to that. So I will wait until you really understand what you will be giving up before I do it. You may find that you want to keep them.*[1]
Her power set is unsettled, but as a paladin of Bast it may be Powers as the Plot Demands. She has displayed enhanced strength, speed and sense of smell, and Bast implied that she intends Miyet to be a "hunter", so her powers are probably suited to that role.
