MAJOR DEEJ UNIVERSE

Catherine Suljic was born into wealth, privilege, and quiet criminal proximity. Raised in New York by affluent Indian immigrant parents whose work in jewelry and rare commodities placed them in morally questionable circles, Catherine learned early that luxury, influence, and danger often traveled together. As a child, she was indulged almost without limit, developing both refined tastes and an ingrained belief that whatever she desired should ultimately become hers.

​

That worldview survived the Soltan Invasion, even if the girl who held it did not. On January 6, 2000, Catherine’s life was shattered when the Soltan assault obliterated her family’s neighborhood. Injured, traumatized, and likely altered forever by head trauma and severe psychological shock, she wandered into the ruins of a broken city and emerged as something colder, harder, and more opportunistic. When she accidentally killed a Soltan trooper, other displaced youths began to see her as a leader. Catherine accepted the role instinctively.

​

In the months that followed, she built a survival network from scavenged resources, frightened children, and stray animals. Her gift for handling and training pets became central to the group’s success. Under her direction, animals were used to gather food, locate valuables, provide warning, and even assist in combat and defense. The group adopted the name Catseye, inspired by a cat’s-eye marble Catherine treated as a lucky charm. By the end of the invasion, Cat and her followers had survived against impossible odds, accumulated vast stolen resources, and developed the operational instincts of a professional criminal crew.

​

After the invasion, Catherine transformed Catseye into a formal gang and built a luxury business front, Cathy’s Pet Dining Experience, to conceal its activities. Publicly, she became an eccentric but successful entrepreneur in elite pet hospitality. Secretly, she used the business to identify wealthy targets, map homes and habits, and deploy trained operatives for burglary and theft. Over time, she also adopted the flamboyant masked persona of Madame Menagerie, a theatrical cat-burglar identity she uses for direct field operations when subtlety alone is not enough.

​

Today, Catherine Suljic is a polished executive, criminal strategist, and underworld employer wrapped into one carefully controlled package. She treats crime like a business, loyalty like an investment, and theft like a personal art form. Whether as Cat, corporate CEO, or Madame Menagerie, she remains driven by the same core instinct that hardened inside her during the invasion: if she wants something, she will take it.

​

NOTE: Madame Menagerie is most dangerous when underestimated as a gimmick villain. Her costume, animal motif, and theatrical methods can make her seem eccentric rather than elite. In reality, she is an experienced criminal executive with strong field capability, disciplined planning habits, and an uncommon ability to weaponize the ordinary. She does not need powers because she has infrastructure, money, loyal personnel, trained animals, and the patience to study a target until failure becomes unlikely.

​

Her combination of luxury-business cover, high-society access, and operational burglary experience makes her especially effective against wealthy or security-conscious victims. She is not a berserker, not a mad scientist, and not a brute. She is a planner, a handler, and a thief who built an empire by turning trauma, vanity, and predation into a business model.
