catgirl
Ears and tail
A catgirl is a female character—in anime, manga, video games, or cosplay—who has cat-like features such as ears, a tail, or feline mannerisms, while remaining otherwise human.
The figure is a staple of Japanese pop culture and internet fandoms, often depicted as cute, playful, or sexualized: She dressed as a catgirl for the convention.
