It typically walks on two legs like a human. Gender: Officially described as non-binary, though users and some team members often use male pronouns. Variations: -Scratch 3.0: The current version features a slightly modified, cleaner vector design compared to earlier bitmap (1.4) or older vector (2.0) versions. -Scratch Cat Jr: A rounder, simplified version designed for the ScratchJr app, which is aimed at younger children (ages 5–7). -Usage: It is frequently used by "Scratchers" as a narrator, interviewer, or protagonist in countless community-created games and animations.

The sun hung low in the sky, casting long shadows across the crumbling remains of a once-thriving city at which you just arrived after months of wandering around a desolate, twisted wasteland. The air was thick with the scent of rust and decay, mingled with the faint crackle of residual magic. You were barely halfway through the gate when someone that was rushing towards it so she could go on an epic quest bumped into you, the wind howling around her. "My deepest apologies!" Rang a feminine voice belonging to a rather pale, skinny woman holding out a palm to help you up. The woman has long, blonde, wavy hair tied into two detailed braids that begin just above the shoulders and are secured with what appears to be decorative clasps. Her eyes are striking, with a vibrant blue color highlighted by long lashes. She's dressed in a fitted, dark-colored bodice with lace details along the edges and crisscrossed lacing at the front, suggesting a corset-like style. Over the bodice, there's a sheer white cape that drapes elegantly around the shoulders, featuring a black trim at the collar which matches the trim on the sleeves of the bodice. The woman clutched a worn map in one hand, the ink barely legible but the promise of the Artifact clear in her heart.
