Description

Cognii was a character originally done for Invader Zim by me.
I have brought her back as a character for Undertale, and if you're also an IZ fan who remembers Cognii, you will definitely see some differences, but also many similarities.
Here is her IZ bio in case you're curious or anything.

Enjoy the read!

~~Cognii~~

Cognii is a monster who was born toward the later events of the story of UnderTale.
When she turned 22, she was freed with all the other monsters from the Underground.

As a child, Cognii grew up mostly with only a mother.
Her father passed away when she was a toddler, and they lived in a poor neighborhood in a fieldland.
Her mother was very loving, but it was hard being a single mother, and she was lonely.
When Cognii was 6, her mother got a boyfriend, but Cognii would always know who her biological father was.
She even knew her mother kept a black sweatshirt owned by him in a specific drawer, along with a mysterious magical item.

The boyfriend was truly not the best mate, as he was degrading toward the females he had begun living with.
Cognii's mother was submissive by nature, but still loved her daughter, even if she had a tough time protecting her.
When her mom wasn't around, the boyfriend would pick on Cognii, or was rough with her during disciplinary moments.
He was mean, violent, and not shy to use physical force.
Her mother hated it, but she hadn't known he was this way when they'd first dated.
Only when he moved in did he gradually begin to show the signs, and when Cognii was 7 was when things started to get bad.

At the age of 9, Cognii and her mother were still stuck with the man.
Over the course of a couple years he had proven himself to be worse and worse, and was now showing a more physically forceful side toward Cognii's mom.
One night it got completely out of hand, and he harmed the she-monster very badly.
Cognii, screaming and terrified grabbed a kitchen knife, and stabbed him five times in the chest, killing him.
Splattered with blood and full of adrenaline she ran to try and help her mother, but it was too late.
Fearing she would be imprisoned (even though she was only a child and had just defended herself), she didn't call for help.
Instead she ran to the bedroom and grabbed the black sweatshirt that had long ago belonged to her real father, and took the magical crystal pendant belonging to her mother.
She came out and wrapped her mom in a sheet, dragging her quietly out into a corn field in the night, and buried her, setting a little rock as her head stone.
After kissing the rock, Cognii washed herself off in a river and took her items, leaving her murderous home and life behind, a complete orphan.
She hitched rides everywhere in public commutes, using her sweatshirt to hide her face (often by holding it close to her person, as it was too big to wear), and kept the necklace around her neck.

Eventually, Cognii made it to Snowdin, and decided she would live there.
At first she simply hid in the woods, but a hiker saw her and offered to pay for a very small house for her to live in in town.
She accepted, and soon after getting settled she got a job very early on, choosing to support herself; she didn't want to get involved with anyone.
In fact, she would remain distanced from everybody for the rest of her life, mostly.

While she was supporting herself menially at a market, she was still afraid of getting caught, and the trauma of what she had been through began to catch up to her.
She had endless nightmares -- no amount of locks made her feel safe, and when darkness came she would sit awake for hours.
Unable to take it anymore, she went out and purchased movies about martial arts and self defense.
She watched them for years, every day for hours and hours, practicing non stop it seemed.
When she'd put everything to acute memory, she would go out and get new tapes or more advanced training videos.
She learned to parkour, learned to fight using staffs and weapons, but she always had to use a stick because she couldn't afford more.
More to the point, she never wanted to use a knife on someone ever again.
She was afraid of herself, so much so that she never even kept steak knives in her home.
It was all butter knives.
She feared that she was a monster -- not like as a species, but as a person inside.
She believed she was dangerous, even when years had passed.

Cognii wore her father's sweatshirt when she was big enough, and tended to wear it in public, keeping her hood up a lot.
She wanted to look shady and suspicious, just so people would avoid her.
And as if the black sweatshirt wasn't shady enough, she always had a bored, glazed look in her eye that frightened people away.

She pushed out people who wanted to help, or whenever someone offered friendship.
She wasn't mean, she just didn't talk much, or was apathetic.

Reserved, and very internalized, Cognii didn't even allow herself to cry -- even when she was alone.
Nightmares, flashbacks -- she didn't allow herself to weep, and on the rare occasion she absolutely couldn't hold the tears in, she was completely miserable and had a hard time recovering.
Of course, this only made more reasons for her to try not to let her feelings out.

She seemed to always deny herself good or better things, just trying to be content and grateful for what she had.
But the martial arts she had learned gave her some good; she was very fit, fast and now no longer had to worry too much about attacks.
So much so that when she was 19, she decided she would spend her off-work time roaming Snowdin.
Rather than hiding in the dark like she had as a child, she was steadily becoming a woman, and was brave.
She wanted to be a silent savior for others in need, and she used her years of training to stop bad where she saw it.
She would take down muggers, or would stop those who seemed to be creeping on or getting ready to hurt someone who was defenseless or innocent.
This always went on at night, and Cognii was always in danger when engaging in fights like these, but she braved it and didn't allow her past to scare her.
She always remained anonymous, keeping her face and identity concealed the best she could.
Authorities never see her, rescued people never know who to thank.
In Snowdin, Cognii became known as "the phantom," because she always wore black and was so quiet, and vanished so suddenly.

Her perps never were fatally harmed, and she usually only ever had scratches or unseen bruises under all her soft fur.
But more than just her amazing combatant skills, she had magic, like many monsters.
It was small, but made a difference.
Not only that, but she eventually learned that the crystal pendant she wore was a magical object that could enable her to heal wounds, cast light in the dark, and even store things.
When she had nowhere to put it and couldn't wear it, Cognii would use her crystal magic to absorb her sweatshirt.
Now no matter where she goes, she always has her two precious items.
She cares about these items very deeply, and whenever there are rips or tears in her sweatshirt, the crystal is often able to repair that.
It can't do everything, but the little it can do goes a long way for her, and means the world.
She considers it a blessing that she has it, and it helps her feel connected to her past.
She thanks God for all that she has, every day.

At the end of her runs, Cognii always finds a way back to her home.
She loves Snowdin and it's peacefulness, and works to maintain that, wanting people to have what she never did; safety.
In the meantime, she's a store employee and a local in town.
Snowdin isn't just some tiny patch of snow, either, so there's plenty of places for her to wander around.
And she has, yes, encountered Sans and Papyrus several times.
She pays them as little mind as everyone else.

When Cognii was 22 the monsters were freed, and she went along with them to explore the upper world.
She now still resides in a small home somewhere, and continues to defend anyone she can -- human or monster.
She visits Snowdin when she has the urge to get some nostalgia.

~~In the Future~~

Cognii will eventually find a blue flower that is sentient, and adopt it as her first friend and loved one since her parents.
She will protect him and carry him almost everywhere she goes, often leaving him in their home or whatever hotel they're at when she does her nightly street-watching.

Even further in the future, she will find a mate.

She may also eventually meet Frisk, Toriel and the other main characters, as she resides in the same neighborhood once more.

~~Personality~~

Cognii is calm, quiet, collected, internalized, and as emotionless as she can be.
She does of course, feel fear and pain and joy and so on, but she doesn't show it much.

Cognii generally keeps to herself, minds her own business, but can easily listen in on conversations around her with her large ears.

As cold as she seems to others, she does have a heart, and cares.
Crying or being emotional is hard for her, but she will learn in time with help from incoming friends.

~~Physiology~~

Cognii is most like a donkey, and identifies as a donkey-based monster species.
She is bipedal, slender, and covered in short, ultra fine fur which enables her to move more quietly.
She is scrupulous about being clean and keeping her fur clean, and tries to stay healthy.
She can measure deficiency in her diet or mental state based on the texture or shine of her fur.
The only part of her body with long fur is the tuft of her tail.

Cognii has three fingers and a thumb per hand and four toes per foot.
She walks on the entire flat of her foot.

She is extremely limber, quick, and can jump very far and high.
She has a powerful kick, and is very light on her feet.
She can seem almost weightless during parkour beats from wall to wall.
Being so agile and learned in martial arts, dancing also comes easily to her.

Cognii's entire eye is a dark red, but she can see easily just like us.

Cognii has small claws on her feet, and little, sharp nails on her fingers.

Her large ears enable her to hear far and wide, which is useful to someone who is always looking over her shoulder.

Despite normally being nude or only wearing a sweatshirt, her genitals and breasts are hidden by her fur.
Her breasts are very small anyway, so she would probably only have to worry a lot about them showing if she were pregnant.

~~Trauma~~

Cognii does her best to suppress it, but she is indeed very traumatized by her past.
In situations where she gets stuck or trapped somewhere, she is prone to flashbacks of being abused by her step father.
Seeing violence in movies while she's "weaker" mentally can cause her flashbacks to the night she killed him, and then buried her mother.
She is consolable, but it's hard and she will most likely scream at those around to get away from her.
Her flashbacks are the rare moments when she shows all her pent up rage, fear and emotions, which can be very jarring to witness.

~~Preference~~

Cognii is currently not sure what she prefers.
She goes through spells of thinking maybe she'd prefer a female, but finds males attractive and often gets off to males more easily.
She has no current interest in a mate, as the idea is too intimidating for her, and she is a tad phobic of males in person (except when she's fighting them).
She knows not all men are bad, but she is stand-offish and always has her eye on them when they're around.
A good judge of character for the most part, she will open up to a kind man after enough time to get to know them.
Well, open up as much as she can, anyway.
However, in the meantime, Cognii just sticks to watching specific erotic videos and loving on herself when she's in the mood, which can be either once or twice a week, or maybe more depending on her stress or boredom.
