'tis my destiny to spin the wheel of fate, and to sever the string.
Because of love I must put an end to the life of the beloved one...
The wheel of fate has already been spun.
From this moment I shall be the fallen angel. With my life set on fire with destiny....

Who is Cupido? Very few people actually know. And quite understandably, although she's been a provate obsession of mine for reason's as yet unknown even to me.

Once upon a time, there was a console clled the Sega Saturn. For this console was a game, Battle Arena Toshinden Remix. Beat the game without loosing once, and a secret character appeared to fight you- An evil bish named Sho. Beat him, and a final boss apears who, in true Shao Kahn style, is piss easy to beat. Her name is Cupido. She talks funny, harping on about destiny and fate. She talks about 'She' and 'her'. "If She had gone mad, like you, she might have been saved." She speaks of 'the master' (A 16 year old crime lord) and with out a hint of a waver in her voice offers to cut your strings of fate. She dresses in black and read, has purple hair and red eyes, carrys a large glaive and seems to have an odd obsession with Sho, the man who, in fact, kills her. Sho's just a little mad methinks. But if he's mad, Cupido was well on her way. She shows an odd interest in her killer's younger brother, proclaiming 'We have the blood.'

So what made me name my beanie cat after her?

Cupido is almost a tragic figure- mysterious, dark, and working with the big nasty evil. She also has a kind of cool twin brother ^_^; Her theme music rocks, her zone looks cool and something about her just appeals to me. The way she talks, the myst behind her- rarely am I very fond of female fighting characters unless they're actually very good, which often they're not. Cupido's almost as hard to play as she is easy to beat, yet I still like her. She features in one game I see, and is apparently killed in a later/earlier one, so she doesn't hang around long enough to get a good background. Her brother, likewise, doesn't hang around long enough to get any insite into her- He's taken up her profession of stalking fighters however, and has a similar dippy way ov moving and standing.

Long story short, I don't know why I like her so much. Maybe it's just her colours. Maybe something about the character appeals to me- the lost boss.

So why am I even mentioning this? My next layout features her colour scheme, although it doesnt feature her. When I decide to draw fanpics, it's either her or someone elses character- I tend not to draw 'big-time' characters as fanpics. Cupido (the cat) continually reminds me of her, despite having contradictory personality's.

I'm still searcing for a character that can replace this cupido fixation.
