Katherine Hexley
Katherine is a slim young woman in her mid-twenties, standing around 5'5" (165 cm). She has fair skin with a light dusting of freckles, long dark chestnut-brown hair that falls to the middle of her back, and hazel-green eyes with narrow, feline slit pupils.
Her most distinctive features are her black cat ears and long black tail. Her ears are expressive, often betraying her irritation or curiosity before her face does. Her hands are covered in black fur and have padded palms and dexterous, clawed digits, while her legs are digitigrade, ending in padded feline feet. She retains a largely human face and torso, giving her a genuine catgirl appearance rather than a humanoid cat or a fully transformed animal.
She dresses in a traditional pointed black witch's hat with a violet band and openings for her ears, a plum-purple coat over a layered black skirt, and a utility belt stocked with potion vials, chalk, and magical tools. Her clothing has been modified to accommodate her tail and unusual legs. She doesn't wear shoes.
Her overall appearance is that of a recognizable, practical witch with a dark, elegant color palette. Her feline features make her look more agile and animalistic than she probably wants people to notice.
Junia “June” Cross
June is a small, physically ordinary bat with warm orange-brown fur, russet-colored wings, a cream-colored underside, and warm amber eyes. Her coloring is earthy and natural rather than bright orange. Her body has the proportions and anatomy of a real bat, not a miniature humanoid with bat wings.
She has a compact body, a small face, delicate feet, and thin, flexible wings supported by elongated finger bones. Her ears and nose are shaped like those of a typical fruit bat, giving her an alert, inquisitive expression. Her wings are large relative to her body, allowing her to maneuver swiftly through the air and hang upside down from suitable perches.
June has no clothing or accessories as part of her usual appearance. She's small enough to perch on Katherine's shoulder, hang from a lamp, or tuck herself into a sheltered nook. Despite her tiny size and ordinary animal appearance, her eyes and attentive posture can give her an unexpectedly expressive look.
The contrast between them is striking: Katherine is a mostly humanoid figure with unmistakable feline anatomy, while June is a completely ordinary-looking bat who happens to have a human mind. Katherine's black fur and plum clothing give her a dark, witchlike silhouette; June's russet and cream coloring provides a warmer, softer visual counterpoint. Put the pair in a magic detective office with Katherine looking up at Katherine as she dangles up down from the ceiling. There's a sign that reads "Hexley & Cross — Curse-Breaking and Occult Investigations."
