Revision as of 04:46, 22 November 2020 by Chiliad (talk | contribs) (→‎Kit)

Cathkeryn has silver grey hair with dark grey stripes. Her eyes are blue grey. She is much larger than typical for her species, weighing around 20 lbs.

Alias

CathKeryn has learned to assume a variety of alias' in order to follow Chiliad to various locations.

Kari

Kari is a green elf, with a very slight build. She has medium brown skin, bright green eyes and light brown hair with an undertone of green. She will choose clothing suitable to her surroundings, including sleek evening dresses for performances, but will dress more like a green elf when alone in the forest or in private with Chiliad, with scant clothing with beads and feathers for decoration. This is often a guise she will use when attending Chiliad’s performances in formal settings such as theaters or noble courts.

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.

Kit

Kit is a petite female forest gnome with grey green skin, round pug nose, long curly brown hair and bright green eyes. She prefers to wear layers of cloths with rich browns and deep greens with spots of floral color. The clothing will be utilitarian with various pockets and pieces to assist with her current tasks.

Kit is fairly quiet, often humming, singing or trilling as she goes about her business. She likes to make little games of her tasks and is fairly playful as she goes about her work. She can be very affectionate with her companions, often liking to cuddle.

This is the form she usually assumes when she needs to do tasks better suited to hands.

Kali

Kali is a winged cat or tressym. Her fur and feathers are typically black, but she can change color to match her surroundings.

Kali has two sizes, either small as a large domestic cat or large as a panther. This form is usually assumed for combat or hunting, so the larger panther form is most often seen.

Shadow

Shadow is a small female wolf with dark grey fur and blue grey eyes. She often follows Eriyin around, as this is her typical guise when accompanying Chiliad in his Eriyin alias. She is quiet but can present a display of ferocity.

Animals

While Cathkeryn can assume the shape of nearly any creature from tiny to medium size, she has a number of standard forms she has perfected and routinely assumes.


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.
