Abilities:
She is an excellent swimmer and diver and, thanks to her magical powers, she is able to even breathe under water and the pressure of the water has no effect on her. It also does not matter whether she is in fresh- or saltwater. Her very smooth and silky fur supports her while moving under water without the need of any fins whatsoever. She can easily track objects or other creatures that are located under the surface, even when being deep down in the water
She has the incredible ability to control water to a certain extent. She can magically filter and condense water from the air and can pour it wherever she desires. This requires quite the amount of magical energy though
When she swims or dives at dark and/or very deep places or depths, she magically starts to glow at her white and pink left side. If Nera wishes to not glow for whatever reason, she can actively stop it. She can only glow in water, she is not able to emit light from her body while being on land
Nera is able to magically conjure the most beautiful and shiny pearls. Depending on their size and shine, this process requires more or less magical energy
She has the ability of speech and she speaks and understands many different human languages of our world. Of course she is able to interact with her fellow species and other animals and creatures. She can even translate to a certain extent
She is able to see in the dark, even under deep water and, unlike other tigers and cats, she can see almost all existing colours
Weaknesses:
Water, especially water from lakes, oceans etc. is very important to her and her body. Not being exposed to it for a longer period of time may cause her to lose her magical powers slowly. It also affects her well-being and she could even start to get depressed
Sometimes she is in a state of internal conflict. On the one hand she wants to be sweet, kind and elegant creature, but on the other hand she wants to be a tough, wild and swag tiger and cat hybrid

Further Information:
Nera's name fits pretty well to her appearance, since her name can either mean "black" like her right side, or "light" like her left side. Both sides also kind of reflect her mixed personality. On the one hand she is kind, graceful and sweet (represented by her left side) and on the other hand she is tough, wild and swag (represented by her right side)
She has an entirely vegetarian diet, even though she is a tiger and cat hybrid. Her favourite foods are vegetables, fruits and nuts
She was born in the Land of Eternal Dawn. This place is very similar to the Land of Eternal Dusk, but the land is in a state of eternal dawn. Thus the sky, the landscape, the plants etc. look different. In general, the colours of the Land of Eternal Dawn are more pastel-like, while the ones of the Land of Eternal Dusk are more intensive and vibrant. When it's about their population currently, it is difficult to tell where the individual inhabitants come from, since both lands are strongly connected and networked with each other. This particular alliance is responsible for the fact that their creatures bear a close resemblance to each other. It is therefore as good as impossible to tell which being was born in the Land of Eternal Dusk or Dawn. Nera currently lives in the Land of Eternal Dusk, and she plans to stay there for a while. Her water-loving family and she moved to this land to discover the various and special bodies of water located there
She and every here presented Land of Eternal Dusk resident are good friends. She and Kai have been a couple for a long time and are considered inseparable, despite their stubbornness. She and Mira-Rose are best friends. Both share a kind of "hard shell, soft core" trait and therefore face similar challenges, which they can overcome together
Nera is still a teenager and therefore quite young. However, compared to other teenagers in the land, she is considered one of the older teenage beings
