Thankfully, due to her...wait.  She never<em>had</em>balance and acrobatic training, that was for the monks, she'd been an aspiring priestess!  No matter, the one thing she definitely knew was the way out, all she had to do was just sneak out of the monastery - the regular girls did it pretty much at will - and then she could disappear for a little while and maybe find a way to get this thing off her.  And dye her hair.  And hide her kitty features.
