Mara
Mara is a playable cat in Super Cat Tales: PAWS. She was revealed to be in the game on May 13, 2023.
Physical appearance[edit]
Mara has mostly blue fur with white on the lower part of her head and tail. On her face, she has a pair of black eyes shaped like thin vertical rectangles with light blue pupils. She also has a pink nose and two pink cheek spots. She wears a light blue handkerchief around her neck.
History[edit]
Mara resided in Portobello when she was informed by McMeow that the P.A.W.S. team needed help. She offered to assist the team in getting to the Ice Fortress on the condition that they catch at least one fish. Afterwards, she became the fourth member to join the part of the P.A.W.S. team that was responsible for retrieving the stolen data drive back from the Bandits.
Roles[edit]
Mara becomes a playable character in World 2-🏠. When the player first encounters her, they will be asked to meet her in the bell tower at the top of the level. Upon talking to her, she will provide the player with a fishing rod and a mission to catch at least one fish. The player will then need to go to Fishing Spot 1 and successfully catch at least one fish before returning to the bell tower, where Mara will join the team. This will then allow the player to take the boat ride in order to unlock Fishing Spot 2. The player also needs to have Mara join the team in order to get past the current at the start of World 2-5.
As a part of the P.A.W.S. team, Mara can defeat enemies by running into them. Her additional abilities are identical to that of Shinji's from Super Cat Tales 2 and Super Cat Tales. She can swim against currents, take longer strides when swimming and skip-hop across the surface when doing a running jump into a body of water. Unlike Shinji, however, Mara can only resist currents rather than being completely unaffected by them like Shinji. While she is able to move against a current while swimming, she will be pushed by the current if standing still.
