This continues the series of Behind the Scenes posts for Cat Girl’s Day Off (coming in Spring 2012!). Ian is the guy that Nat is interested in (okay, she has a total crush on him and has had since the year before). Ian is a junior (Nat is a sophomore), but they are in trigonometry together. Ian’s got a great sense of humor. The Sim version doesn’t have nearly messy enough hair and it’s a bit too reddish, but it was the best I could do. Ian’s name (slightly different spelling) and music taste came from a guy I met in Scotland who plays in a Ska band and is just generally a cool dude.

Don’t forget to check out all the Sneak Peeks!

Sim Ian!

Name: Ian Abbott

Age: 17

Height: Like 5′ 9″ I think. Something like that.

Talent: Making people laugh. Just normal though, not like a “real” Talent like Nat has.

Hair: Brown

Eyes: Grey-ish

Ethnicity: A little bit of everything, which basically means nothing interesting. Though I think we’re related to Davy Crockett on my Mom’s side.

Grade: Junior

Best Subject: Definitely not trigonometry

A Brief Interview:

Can you describe yourself in one word?

Wow. Um…funny?

Like funny ha-ha or funny-funny?

Yeah.

Wait. Which is which again?

So what do you think of your friend Natalie being able to talk to cats? Did that surprise you?

Totally crazy! I knew her family all had talents or whatever, but I kind of figured it was more, you know, super power-y like her sisters. It’s cool, though. I don’t know why she hid it for so long. The weirdest thing I’ve got going for me is that I’m double-jointed in my elbows.

What super power would you like to have?

(laughs) The ability to pass trig! No, really, like flying would be really cool. You could get away from it all, floating up above the world. That might be kind of boring after awhile though. Hmmm. Can I get back to you on that?

Bonus!

I also found two pictures on the Internet of guys that are Ian-ish. I don’t know who the guys in the pictures are (I just found ‘em using Google image search and they were on some kind of role playing site, so I have no idea where they came from originally) and I (obviously) don’t own the pictures or have any rights to them (if you do own them or know who does, let me know!). I’m pretty sure the second one is an actor.

Heck, if you know the guys, introduce me! (kidding.) (mostly.) (okay, definitely. I would feel ancient and cougar-y talking to these young hot guys.)

Option 1. This guy is a pretty good fit for Ian, actually.

Option 2. This guy's nose is more Ian-ish and I like the messy hair.
