Neon Katt

Neon Kat is a member of Team FNKI, of Atlas Academy. She participated in the Vytal Festival tournament, fighting against Yang Xiao Long and Weiss Schnee during the doubles round in the episode "Never Miss a Beat".

Appearance
Neon is a young girl with a light complexion. She has green eyes and moderate orange-red hair done up in two ponytails with light blue streaks. A feline Faunus, Neon also has a prehensile tail covered with fur the same color as her hair.

Neon's outfit has a large range of bright colors. She wears a light blue tank top on top of a dark purple bra, a pink skirt and a white belt with a yellow winking smiley face on the buckle. She also has a white cat bell collar around her neck, and wears a pair of bracers on her arms. A tattoo of a shooting star with a red, green and yellow trail winds around her right arm.

Powers and Abilities
Neon moves around on rollerblades and fights with a pair of nunchuck-glowsticks. She is extremely fast and agile on her rollerblades, able to evade almost all of Yang's attacks with relative ease, ducking and diving across the terrain with great skill. She also leaves a trail of rainbows in her wake. Her speed also allows her to quickly attack with her nunchucks, which are shown to be able to harness ice Dust, creating blocks of ice at the point of impact to potentially immobilize opponents.

Whilst moving around on her rollerblades, she repeatedly chants the mantra, "Never miss a beat". During the match against Yang and Weiss, she apparently misses a beat, tripping and falling on rocky terrain and making her an easy target for Yang, who was able to finish her off with a single shot from Ember Celica.

Personality
Neon has a ridiculously bubbly and hyperactive personality. She also seems to take great joy in provoking her opponents, immediately mockingly mimicking Yang's speech and attacking her for her weight and appearance. In battle, she retains this attitude, taunting her enemies and cracking puns that even Yang fails to appreciate. However, once beaten, she does respect her opponents, calling Yang and Weiss "super crazy awesome", and asks them to party sometime.

History
Neon and her team are students at Atlas Academy. She journeyed with her team to participate in the 40th Vytal Festival combat tournament, which was hosted by the kingdom of Vale. After progressing past the team stage of the tournament, she and her teammate Flynt Coal were defeated by Yang and Weiss of Team RWBY.

Trivia
