Description
Nightshade is a bit of a dick. The hollow star shapes that his markings naturally form resemble Nightshade leaves, from which he takes his name, but it is his personality which is by far the most toxic thing about him.
When this particularly-large Liepard joined Plaisir, he expected immediately to become the baddest of the bad, the most respected and the most feared as well as the most admired for his distinctive appearance. When he turned out to be less scary than Eclipse and less glamorous than Firenze he did the only reasonable thing a narcissistic sadist could do and immediately started taking it out on customers, colleagues and anyone else unfortunate enough to get under his claws.
He has an unhealthy co-dependant relationship with Hemlock, whose extreme masochism is complimented quite unfortunately by Nightshade's constant, deliberate and indulgent cruelty. Attributes that Hemlock turns out to be quite protective over, only too happy to feed the feline's ego if it results in more harsh treatment for Hemlock. And given that Nightshade is the all-too-proud owner of a huge, barbed feline penis, even the most casual of cruelty tends to be quite an experience for the masochistic. The few customers he manages not to repel do turn out to be quite loyal in a similar vein, as he attracts and maintains a stable of masochistic regulars who are only too happy to be used, scratched and demeaned by a powerful, heartless and egotistical big cat. The less charitable would describe him as the back-up Eclipse, taking the Mightyena's leftovers, but his own well-fed ego could never accept that.
Constantly scheming to improve his status, usually at the expense of another, Nightshade could be considered a threat; If only his own arrogance and inability to admit fault would allow him the ability to succeed at anything. As such, he tends to fall into the role of comedically evil yet ineffective villain.
Unless he gets his claws into you.
Appearances
Nightshade had several cameo appearances in October's Jaunt and some side series such as the Hentai Kyuubi 1k shorts, where he had his own vignette, but didn't get any serious roles until Year of October's Bite Club series, where he takes the role of primary antagonist. He has since appeared (briefly) in Barley's Shadow of Eclipse series and in Amarok's contribuation to the Bite Club Anthology.
