Prospero

Courier | Artist | Bakeneko | Yōkai

A withdrawn individual, not often relaying his thoughts. Habitually makes an effort to evade notice in a direct and indirect sense, not wanting to make his concerns or perceived weaknesses evident. It can be difficult for him to overturn that mental blockade, which can lead to complications socially or otherwise. He frequently habituates his own direction, but he is not oblivious to external matters and sometimes voluntarily involves himself.

History

One of a trio of bakeneko that live around Padua.

His origins are not often discussed, but as of typical history, it is not the most ideal occurrence.

He is frequently active around Padua, whether as a cat or with a more human appearance.

He sometimes is smaller in stature as a 'human', rather than taller, although neither are exclusive as a decision. A vague blend of human and cat is relevant in the former case, rather than mostly 'human'. This has evident advantage, in opposition to appearing either completely human or cat.

There is a wide spectrum of possibility. Himself, Scilla, and Oziroe exhibit this.

Not many see him, his brother, or his sister going about the area, and those who do typically ignore them.

Trivia

As of his siblings, his name is derived from a genera within the Scilloideae family.

Although capable of appearing completely human, does not often make that decision.

Infrequently makes himself overt beyond known persons.

Frequently reads, having picked up Italian writing relatively easily after becoming established around the cityscape.

May survey signs and signboards on occasion, regardless of appearance. An attempt to memorise the locations of certain shops or advertisements is occasional.

Sometimes incorporates what he sees into his drawings, which tend to be abstract.

He sometimes leaves drawings around public spaces, or other locations, and occasionally watches from a relative distance to see if anyone notes them.

This does not often last long, as he does not try to spend time in that manner by far.

Does not often use a phone, due to awareness of devices becoming lost during his paths around the city. What he does have is typically left at his residence.

Appears to frequent a more felid appearance during the more active hours of Padua, and otherwise a more overt appearance when otherwise necessary.

Side streets and paths are frequented by him. He is indistinguishable from a typical house cat, except for those who are familiar with his appearance.

Likes fish more than other meat, being more used to it evidently.

Often active, and appears to daydream on occasion.

Regardless of appearance, his eyes are felid in structure.

This appears to be unconscious as a decision, thought not often put into his visage.

Capable of speaking even when felid in appearance. The sounds that he can produce however are evidently limited.

Speaks a few dialects of Italian, his main sort being Venetian.

Can hear from a considerable distance, as of a typical cat.
