The Kitten

 

The Cat’s most precocious kitten was born in the Andorra covenant in 1224.  Smaller and less outgoing than her mother, she tends to keep to the shadows, but at the age of 9 months, shortly after she’d learned (unbeknowngst to her mother) to shapeshift into human form, she ventured into the village below the covenant, not only creating an incident among the peasants, but prompting her mother to take the actions that brought her into conflict with one of the covenant’s magi.

 

In her natural form, the “Kitten” (by this point, she’s an adult cat) is of average size for a member of her species, but otherwise looks similar to her mother, with a glossy coat of midnight black, save for a silver key at her throat.

 

In her human form, the Kitten is an alluring beauty, with a pale, angular face much like her mother’s, yet more perfect, her eyes a soft green, and often averted, her hair long and a silky black, save for a narrow streak of silver arising from the point of her widow's peak.  Her frame is lithe, and her movements graceful, if often sudden.
