Cathari Alaskel (http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheet.html#id=899757)<br/><div class="floatright">(http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll37/Geesaroni/white_catgirl_zpskx91j6as.png)</div><br/>Cathari was less impressed by the castle than some of her fellows! It was awfully nice, yes, and they had enough gold to turn her green with envy, and they servants with trays of tantalizingly tiny snacks, and she could smell perfume coming from somewhere (but the source was maddeningly vague) and well okay maybe she was a little bit impressed. This was the bigtime that she was going to enjoy one day, and this was her ticket to it.<br/><br/>And in complete fairness, the dining hall had an absolutely<em>gorgeous</em>space under the table. It was like her own personal fortress, complete with the ability to nick food unseen and the occasional visit by curious servants. But! It was time, people were arriving and greeting each other and that meant she'd either have to say hello or they'd wind up dragging her out. Better to do it on her own.<br/><br/>Her knee-length white hair bobbed side to side and her tail swished as she wiggled her butt, preparing the perfect pounce. In a single bound both graceful and utterly sudden, she hopped up on the back of Miranda's chair. She wasn't worried! She was light and slim of build enough that the girl was an effective counterbalance, and if it became a problem she'd definitely land on her feet and hopefully not spill Miranda all over the floor. (Unless she got up, in which case all bets were off). Her tail swished over the churchwoman's shoulder and across her arms - yeah, there was enough there to get the job done.<br/><br/>"Hi cutie! I'm Cathari," she said, as though this were completely normal and as though propriety and personal space were things that only applied to non-cat-people, "pleased to meet you, I'm the one with the magic to bake a knight in his armor so don't worry, I'll keep you safe."<br/><br/>She looked from Miranda to the other two and her ears perked up. Hopping down from the chair's back and ideally not upsetting anyone's balance, she took Ogzi and Lauriel in one arm each and hugged them both with what might have been a little squeal of joy, "they didn't tell me the other runners were going to be so adorable! I wanna take you both home right now."
