Cat
NPC · Mage
Sly and graceful, Cat is especially popular in urban areas or farmlands. Like her larger cousins Lynx, Cougar, Tiger, and so forth, she’s a devastating hunter when need be. The smaller embodiment of Cat favors the domesticated feline, though, so she tends to be cute and affectionate as well as fierce. Occasionally regarded as male (especially under names like Tybalt or Old Tom), Cat likes people who enjoy the finer things in life.
Manifestations: A large (sometimes very large) feline of the more-or-less domesticated sort. Sometimes appears as a person with distinctly cat-like characteristics or as a cat with unusually human characteristics, such as Puss-in-Boots or the archetypal talking cat.
Associations: Grace, insight, sensuality, curiosity, cruelty.
Brood: Spirit cats, catlike people, and the infamous NyanCat and Grumpy Cat.
Abilities: Awareness, Seduction, Stealth
Bans: Though Cat can be silly, she does not suffer her allies to be boorish, rude, clumsy, or stupid. People who abuse cats are anathema to her. Although folks often think of Cat and Dog as natural enemies, those spirits and their people can be comfortable allies, even great friends, so long as the Dog-folk remember who’s really in charge.
