Timeline
Appearance
Slingshot's horns resemble cat ears. He wears a sweatband underneath them. His outfit features a blue and white varsity jacket above a darker blue undershirt, grey pants with a blue streak on the sides and his centre-piece sports shoes with a blue and white motif.
Slingshot carries his large namesake slingshot over his left shoulder when not nocking a shot. The handle of the slingshot is three different grey-toned stems interlocked into an ergonomic handle for his left hand. A blue, topped off with black counterweight sits at the bottom. The frame of the slingshot is housed by a blue stock with the limbs being grey. The string and pads are an off-white colour. The slingshot is accented with neon blue, particularly where the strings are attached to the frame and a long band is present at the front stem with another thin band just above the counterweight.
Personality
Slingshot comes off as energetic. Gung-ho on being speedy and zipping around opponents in Phights. He's friendly to his close friends and even does playful jabs with them. He has an air of responsibility from him, stemming from his ownership of a cafe and also the living situation with Vine Staff and Shuriken. He's also passionate about footwear especially ones that enable his movements.
