Alias

Kari

Her personality is very cat like, often easily distracted by activity, but very intense when something gains her attention. She likes to toy and tease those around her. She has no problem showing off her feminine assets to befuddle or distract others. She can maintain a sense of decorum during performances, either relaxing to the point of appearing disintrested or showing mild adoration for Chiliad.

Background

Type: Elven Cat

Owner: Chiliad Khilat

When Chiliad sought a special companion to serve as a kind of familiar, he summoned a cat. Cathkeryn arrived as a young kitten, but already exceptional and smart. She grew quickly over the next year, remaining a close and nearly constant companion.

Three special animal companions (Cathkeryn, Pueo, Sibyl) serve Chiliad like wizard familiars, performing small tasks, including house hold chores, guarding Chiliad in his sleep, and delivering messages.
