Mae Catt is one of animation’s sharpest young writers — a voice behind the shows that define modern kids’ action, from the long-running mystery of Young Justice to the robot drama of Transformers: Cyberverse, where she rose from staff writer to story editor. She’s a multi-racial, queer Angeleno whose own perspective keeps breaking into the scripts: her work on Cyberverse gave fans some of the most celebrated character-focused episodes in that series’ run.
Her animation résumé is a who’s-who of beloved franchises: Marvel Rising, Marvel’s Spider-Man, Monster High, Star Wars Resistance, the Quibi horror anthology 50 States of Fright, and Netflix’s Dragon Age: Absolution. She has also written for The Legend of Vox Machina, bringing her Exandria knowledge full circle — and that expertise is exactly why Dark Horse tapped her to write Critical Role: The Mighty Nein Origins — Beauregard Lionett, the origin of the Cobalt Soul’s most reluctant monk, as announced by Dark Horse Comics.
Catt is also a powerful advocate for trans and nonbinary visibility in animation, speaking openly about the importance of queer writers telling queer stories. If you love animation with real emotional stakes, character-forward franchises, or the Critical Role universe in any medium, Mae Catt’s work belongs on your radar.
