Who is Lanfear?
Lanfear is not only a VRChat player but her persona lives inside the fictional realms of VRChat (Metaverse) as she portrays her original cat-girl Neko persona. Together with Oathmeal they're known as the Neko-sisters hosting the Neko Nights Night Club. Both are admired by many.
She was thrust into the role of content creator after meeting Nagzz21, who instantly saw her as someone who loved the community. Nagzz and her became good friends outside of RP. Nagzz has even said he envies Lanfear for having this whole RP dropped on her and how well the fans are taking her role.
Always staying true to her character in the realms of VRChat, Lanfear is always in-character, and is one of the most known mute cat-girls, she communicates via body language, gestures and typing.
With being such a beloved character see made any of Nagzz's VRChat Adventures worth seeing, with throughout the runtime of the series her backstory was explained, she found her long lost sister, found out why her and her sister can't talk anymore, found out the mysteries of her and her sisters locket and knows about the endless Cycle that the realms of VRChat are in and how her and her sister aren't affected by when the Cycle stops and starts a new. With her and her sisters involvement with the series, it made for such a joy to watch them interact with new people every episode. She is possibly on the same column that MaTSix, Rad, Ryan, KimpIE and Chipz are on that helped brought interesting lore to Nagzz's VRChat Adventures.
Neko Lore
Background
Not much is know about Lanfear and Oathmeal's childhood, other than that they were almost joined at the hip and had loving parents that cared about them very much. All this changed when the two reached the age of sixteen.
The story goes that Lanfear and Oathmeal were born into a very wealthy family. Due to a deal made by Lanfear and Oathmeal's parents with KimplE's father, Lanfear and Oathmeal came to possess The Lockets, which protected them from being stuck in the Cycle that has started to occur. They also gained a guardian, KimplE. However, due to the blood deal from The Lockets, both Nekos were now mute, and due to their parents, were now the Keys to the next Cycle. Sadly, their parents couldn't make it to the current Cycle and are stuck in Cycle 5.4, frozen in time. After witnessing the horror of their parents being frozen in time in another Cycle, made Oathmeal so distressed she ran away from home, losing her beloved mother and father and her voice causing her to run away, never looking back.
Mixing Cycles
In the past Cycle, it was revealed at some point, Lanfear and Oathmeal's parents were supposed to be Cycle Guardians at one point. They couldn't hold up the tradition, and so, asked KimpIE's Father for a deal. In order to protect the Cycle and the two cat girls, they were given The Lockets. These were the key to the Next Cycle. However, in doing so, Lanfear and Oathmeal were forced to be mute. Another factor playing into this was that both their parents were left to be in the last Cycle, frozen. (Oathmeal, who used to sing constantly, couldn't handle this and ran away from home.)
Now just with her maids, Lanfear inherited The Lanfear Estate and was watched over by KimplE. KimplE started the plan to reunite the two siblings after so long, with them eventually finally reuniting thanks to KimpIE's help, and a huge event has been started to win over Lanfear's heart between Joey Bagels and Chipz, with the poor Neko being in the middle of this, and with the possibility of a war breaking out.
After the events of the Crossover Chronicle, Lanfear, along with her sister, are now under the protection of Joey Bagels as their 'wise' Guardian even after Joey losing his Guardian Powers when another Cycle occurred. Lanfear still does not know if there is a way to control the Cycle.
Biography & History
History of 2017-2018
Meeting Joey Bagels
Lanfear met her past boyfriend, Joey when he and his wife Rad were house hunting. Joey felt a special bond with the Neko, and soon, the two exchanged phone numbers. After a few more meetings, Joey, after seeking approval from Ryan, ShadowSnipe, and Rad, began to begin a romantic journey. Viewers got to experience it first hand when Joey took Lanfear on a date, and the two's bond keeps growing ever closer. Joey felt a special bond with Lanfear. He loves MaTSix and Rad deeply, but the trio of them didn't really share any romantic journey, dates, or anything of the sort. Joey has gone on record to say Lanfear is his rock, she's the one that keeps him sane, and he loved the fact their love blossomed over time. Plus, Lanfear was always by his side, as loyal as ever.
Joey, after seeing MaTSix kiss WhiteWolf, in the heat of the moment, planted a deep one on Lanfear and has gone on record to say he's addicted to her kisses. "She's the eye of the hurricane of insanity that is my life!" one witness heard him say.
Though this is all subject to change, as this current Cycle is testing the limits of all three involved, and those involved with them. Lanfear clearly still has feelings for Mr. Bagels, even expressing them, but due to loving both him and Chipz, Joey's world has spiraled out of control. He's been drinking, lashing out at people, crying; he's barely the same man he was. And Lanfear says she's sorry for all this. As of the end of the Cycle restarted, Chipz beat KimplE to become a Guardian, but due to him fading from existence, Chipz willingly passed the responsibility onto Joey Bagels. Joey is now KimplE's replacement as Guardians over both Lanfear and Oathmeal. (Even if he has no idea what it means and even he loses the Guardian Powers next Cycle.)
As of the new Cycle it appears something about the Guardianship was abnormal and is rumored to may not have successfully been completed, leaving speculation that another may have inherited it or it failed, leaving the role unfulfilled. Joey and Lanfear have since gone their own ways and the Neko has been focused on living life to the fullest ever since in both business and adventure alongside her little sister and close friends.
Reunited Sisters
At some time, Lanfear inherited the Estate, her mansion, and kept Oathmeal's bedroom as a memento. Later, Lanfear met her boyfriend, Nagzz, and has since adopted several dozen family members.
As of April 2018, Oathmeal and Lanfear got reacquainted, spending some time in little instances together. It was unknown at the time they were sisters, but KimpIE questioned it (Even though knowing they were sisters and just questioning Lanfear to see if she remembers her sister.), seeing the two as 'very similar'. Lanfear, in an attempt to confirm this herself, hired KimpIE to bring the two together. And since they reunited for the first time in a number of years, the two have been very close.
It was revealed, officially, that Oathmeal and Lanfear are indeed siblings. It was later confirmed they were sisters by the both of them with Joey in-witness.
New developments
Lanfear, on May 26th 2018, dragged Oathmeal away from the Estate. After a quick portal jump, Lanfear pulled Oathmeal into, of all places, The Void, home to KimpIE's Father and mother. It was then revealed they've been to this place before, possibly many times, as children. It was said by Lanfear that they were brought here by their parents, at the age of 16, to perform something, a 'secret', possibly involving the two lockets. Lanfear then revealed the reason the two of them are mute is that it was because of The Lockets protecting them from the Cycle, and becoming mute made Oathmeal upset, so much that she ran away from home, confirming one theory. The elder sister recalled how she adored Oathmeal's singing voice, and felt responsible and saddened that the harmonic voice was silenced for good.
Lanfear then discussed how the two lockets the sisters share possess some special power, that keeps them safe from the Cycle and as long as they're together.
More developments
On May 28th 2018, the two Neko siblings went to an island paradise, where Lanfear asked Oathmeal if she remembered this place, explaining that they used to go there when they were younger. The duo ran up a grassy hill, letting the nostalgia of their past take over, reverting them into kittens once more. The two of them ran up a large black mountain, where Lanfear remembered that Oathmeal sang on top of the rocky outpost, while the elder sibling sat under trees, contently listening to the melodic tunes the younger sibling emitted. Lanfear called her beautiful, being backlit by the sunset. The two Nekos hugged, remembering the good times.
Lanfear revealed that when Oathmeal ran away from home, she would still visit the tropical island, desperately hoping that she could find her beloved younger sister that might be at that spot. After embracing some more, and with a comforting head pat, Lanfear leapt from the rocky outcrop, showing a rare glimpse into her cat-like nature. Oathmeal followed, covering her eyes the entire way.
The two ran towards the beach, rushing through the sand, possibly a remake of what they did when they were younger, and by surprise, found a sandcastle that the two built still standing. More objects from their childhood were on the beach for some reason, filling the two siblings with nostalgia. After a quick photo to remember the new times they spent, they were off running once more.
Climbing up a nearby rock face, with the rock seemingly distorting, Oathmeal could barely keep up with the memory fueled Lanfear. (A rare thing in of itself.).
"It used to take all day to climb up here." Lanfear sighed, with vigorous nodding from Oathmeal.
"I remember when you almost fell here". The elder one remembered, seemingly sad, as Oathmeal tried to deny it.
"Our parents were so mad." Lanfear recalled, as the two Nekos snickered in mischievous glee.
"That was the last time we were up here.....before that day." With the mood suddenly shifting, both Nekos made their way carefully down the cliff face. The two stopped to discuss how they would get down, before being whisked away in a portal to a Café, where they met Lanfear's friend, Pachirii.
After mucking about with their friends for a little bit, and scaring the ever-loving daylights out of Oathmeal, the two Nekos joined Chipz. (For full development, please see Crossover Chronicle.) After a while, KimplE got involved, and took them to the place where it all 'started'. The wise Kittybot tried her best to answer the questions they wanted, and attempted to help solve some personal conflicts, and revealed more of their past to them.
The Bond of Sisters
Since their reunion, the two Nekos have been basically joined by the hip. Lanfear spends as much time as she can with her younger sister, to make up for lost time. The two became even closer to the point of huddling together for warmth and support when the two have been drinking. They have gone into business together opening a night club and even go on various adventures together.
The Crossover
Lanfear was in the world when Chipz arrived to sing to Oathmeal, who is a big fan of his singing, and the two became friends.
Lanfear, either oblivious to the fact she was being charmed and flirted with by Chipz, joining him at the VR Bowling Alley. Several of Joey's close friends kept an eye on her and informed Joey what happened.
One night in Chipz's own club, under the watchful eye of KimpIE (After she attempted to bludgeon Chipz, for the second time), KimpIE watched as Chipz slowly began to ask more and more personal questions to the oblivious Neko, and this triggered Kuri's dark eye. He led the squad of people (Ikrium and Zentreya) into Chipz's home turf. After KimpIE rounded up everyone in Chipz's friends, evacuating them and Lanfear to a portal, the robot and SciFri stood their ground just in case.
However, the situation was defused when Joey himself came to the club, getting the story from KimpIE. KimpIE then organized a sort of roundtable discussion, where she and Lanfear were neutral parties.
Questioning
Much like she did with Chipz, KimplE cornered Lanfear in her room, sat her down and asked her a series of questions. Some of them were about her favorite color (Red), her favorite ice cream flavor (All of them), who the elder sister between her and Oathmeal was (Lanfear is the oldest). The most important questions were as followed:
"What is your relationship with Cheepz?"
Despite KimplE's voice modulator acting up, she got a clear answer. Lanfear only sees him as a friend (Although a very flirty one.) The second question was involving Joey. Lanfear is still eagerly awaiting Joey to make his proposal to her, it seems, AND even hinted she wanted a biological child with him. KimplE's questions were sent in by her "Kittens" (Her chat.)
Trouble in Paradise
While Ashunera was celebrating her Bachelor party, Lanfear and Oathmeal joined. This marked Lanfear's third day of drinking. Partying with several dozen members of the community lead to Chipz getting involved. Soon Lanfear and Oathmeal both were whisked off to various worlds by Chipz. This somehow ended up in an ice cream shop where Chipz indirectly kissed Lanfear several times, sharing a spoon. Before that however, Chipz almost bit Lanfear's neck for a photo.
After spending time with Chipz, the two began to get closer. Chipz tempted fate (Played dice) with Lanfear, while his Chad kept telling him to seal the deal. Chipz later sang "Treat you Better" to Lanfear, to which the confused cat ran away at the end. KimplE later arrived and investigated. After being questioned by KimplE, and not giving a straight answer, KimplE went to Chipz himself, got him to tell the complete story, and, with a mysterious "I got all I needed." from the kittybot, KimplE vanished, jumping off the side of the world, leaving a very confused Lanfear, Chipz, and SciFri.
KimplE once again stole Lanfear away from her core group of friends in the MMD Dance map. Bringing her to Spooky Town, KimplE showed her the many gravestones of past players who have gone missing or stopped played VRChat entirely. KimplE then, after blocking the view and ears of her Kittens, spoke to Lanfear about something secret. At this point in time we still do not know what KimpIE said to Lanfear but it probably had to do something with the graves, that maybe she could probably end up like them the by ending up in the same path as them?
Lanfear then joined Chipz and his group at his club, where a concerned KimplE kept a close eye on everyone involved. Before KimplE left to train for the Battle Disc tournament once more, she left Lanfear with an ominous message. "Stay safe. Actions will have consequences."
Confession
On May 29th 2018, before the big day, Lanfear was hanging out in Club Rogue (Not the one burnt down.). KimplE, Miss Minerva, Cor Vous, and oddly enough, GreatKhanHD were present, when ProphET^ limped in, missing one of his feet. Prophet ran upstairs to speak to Chipz, warning him the A.L.A. were aware of his actions and they were coming for him. Chipz, in a moment of panic, grabbed Lanfear and dragged her to a Japanese village, where he confessed his love for her. (Following that, some sort of shield prevented the many Observers from witnessing what happened next.)
Crossover's Conclusion
As the Cycle was so unbalanced, caused by Zentreya and her actions, with Chipz fading, Joey's heart broken, Lanfear being split apart literally and figuratively, the choice was made to Open a New Cycle. KimplE put Chipz to a test first, to see if he could become a Guardian. The vampire won, but sadly, continued to fade from existence. Chipz decided to pass on the responsibility to Joey Bagels (Something that confused him, and made him panic about Chipz's health.). As they opened the Next Cycle, Lanfear lost most, if not all her memories of the previous Cycle and the events, possibly as a result of trying to save Chipz from fading by bringing him or his memories over to the next Cycle. Not even Lanfear's Locket could protect her memories, the Cycle is getting stronger.
The Big Question?
Joey pulled Lanfear aside while the two were celebrating Ryan and Jakkuba's honeymoon, to talk in private. Joey mentioned that she was the reason he was so happy, and asked if he could ask her something...
Stardom and Opening of Neko Nights
After appearing in several of Joey's movies, and providing the budget for them as well, Lanfear has taken all of her profits from the films and helped her sister, Oathmeal open the Neko Nights Night Club and contacting the master architect, Foxe to converting and redesigning an abandoned warehouse that became the cat's meow.
History of 2019 and future
Lanfear riding on the shoulders of Roflgator. It's very clear who's the boss here.
The regular club hostess
Lanfear still spends her time managing her club, and sometimes, even throwing private parties at the Estate with her sibling and close friends. She seems to be taking life in stride, going on adventures with Oathmeal and Tyriss, exploring the VRChat world. (Using Lanfear's expansive wealth to do so.) Rumor has it though, Lanfear and Joey have decided to travel their own paths as of now, but are possibly now engaged or even married, there is no info on this at this moment in time. Recently she's been seen visiting locations she's seen in dreams but is unsure what they mean. Lanfear and Oathmeal recently had a conversation about these dreams and both seem to feel like they've been to places before but with no memory of having been there before, almost as if drawn to these places.
During the hosting of the club another manager from a competing bar, known as Roflgator, the mischievous alligator robot, would make increasing regular visits at her club, sometimes referring to his visits as Neko Nights "Friday flings". Sometimes causing quite a ruckus with his invited friends such as TheBigMeech and Vigor. They proved no match for her however as even he would be subservient when told to tone it down.[1]
Visitor at The Royal Gator
Increasingly visiting The Royal Gator in mid 2020 she acted judge in the The Royal Gator Date Night together with J4KEY and Roflgator on April 29th 2020.
Spotting Chipz less and less, the wing-man Roflgator attempted to get them together again on May 27th 2020 going so far as to call and invite him over. If it worked out is yet to be determined.[2]
She attended The Golden Gator 2020 re-opening event on June 10th 2020.
Neko Beach Festival
At some point after buying a cabin for themselves, Lanfear decided to surprise her friends and family and pooled together some petty cash and hired the legendary builder, Legends, bought a large plot of beach front property and built a massive resort for their friends. It premiered on June 6th 2020.

Traits
Tail?
Lanfear, unlike her sister, does not possess a tail. It turns out Lanfear's family tree has a recessive gene where the tail is sometimes absent on some of the Nekos.
- Both Zentreya and Chipz have closely inspected Lanfear's "Lanrear" (A name given to her by a Jack Box Party: T.K.O game.) to see if she did indeed have a tail.
- Rumors that Lanfear has a bobcat tail have sprung up.
As of October 19th, Lanfear was confirmed to be a late, late bloomer. Her tail finally sprung out, confirmed by Tyriss, Mad, and the entirety of Tyriss' stream. Tyriss, while in the middle of a game, ran over and groomed Lanfear's tail.
Lanfear is very private about matters regarding her tail and asking about it is a sensitive subject.
Powers?
Like her sister, Lanfear has some special, borderline supernatural powers. These include:
- Strength: Lanfear has been shown several times to possess (as demonstrated during her Gladiator arena fighting days) enhanced physical ability, most notably her Strength. It is unknown if this is a characteristic of being a Neko or something inherited from her bloodline (Or a combination of the two).
- Locket: The Lockets that were given to Lanfear and Oathmeal by there parents and KimpIE's Father, they are blessed with an unknown power to protect them from any magical, supernatural powers and damages caused by the Cycle.
- Heirlooms: Both Nekos possess a family heirloom that survived the Cycles when their parents were trapped in a previous one. Lanfear keeps her heirloom on her at all times and with it, is able to summon a massive 300 lb. sword through the space between Cycles. She uses this sword with minimum effort.
