Rosetta

Rosetta is a character in the CBS Storybreak episode "Witch-Cat".
== About Rosetta ==
Rosetta is a slender, orange cat with blue eyes. She wears a yellow collar with her name imprinted on the back. She is no ordinary cat, as she is an enchanted feline called a familiar and is helpful by using her magic powers to do good, like helping others. She is kind-hearted, peaceful, and friendly.
Rosetta is assigned by a cat known as the Queen Mother to be the pet of a pre-teen girl named Gwen Markham. The Queen Mother explains that Gwen's destined to be a witch and because Rosetta gets paired with a new owner every century, Gwen shall be her latest owner. Also, once Rosetta is out of the cats' realm and she enters Gwen's town, Rosetta's powers will eventually become useless and she'll become disenchanted, as her powers will be transferred to her. The exception is on Halloween, which is when Rosetta will be able to use her capabilities at all again. Another cat named Griselda, then has Rosetta transported to where Gwen lives by way of a beam shining from The Well of Witches. When Rosetta arrives, she goes to ask for directions to Gwen's residence from what she mistakes for an armored horse, but it's actually truck. When it doesn't respond, Rosetta is displeased at this, thinking the "armored horse" is haughty. When she starts to cross the street, another truck comes towards her way and she quickly avoids it, scampering up a tree. As she looks down below, she happens to come across the girl she's looking for, Gwen, who is walking across a sidewalk with two friends. Rosetta jumps down the tree to let her presence known and Gwen is instantly fond of her. She checks the back of Rosetta's collar and finds her name, but there's no address. At home, Gwen asks her parents if she can keep her. Gwen's mom begins to answer, but her dad says she might not able to do so, as she might be a lost cat who belongs to somebody else. Gwen's younger siblings, Jason and Deedee, come to see the new pet too. The family's pet, Scottish terrier, Dinki, isn't very fond of Rosetta and is suspicious of her.
The next morning, Rosetta is on Gwen's bed with her. To wake her up, she magically causes the sound of music. Gwen wakes up briefly to turn off her clock radio, thinking that's where the music came from and goes back to sleep. Then, Rosetta uses her magic to clean up Gwen's room. Gwen wakes up again to find it clean and is surprised by this, presuming her mom did it. She gets out of bed to let her know about this and leaves her room. Rosetta is then confronted by Dinki, who doesn't trust her at first. He attempts to attack her, but she avoids him, saying she'd rather be friends so that her job would be made much more facile. But he relaxes when Rosetta explains to her that she's a witch-cat and that Gwen is a witch. Dinki finds this hard to believe, as Gwen is too nice, but he relents and agrees. Rosetta is in wonderment of the modern technology, like T.V.s and a jet, and thinks to herself it's no wonder nobody seems to believe magic is real anymore. 
Rosetta uses her powers a few more times to help out her newfound family and friends. When she, Dinki, and Gwen are at a park, a bigger dog attacks Dinki. Dinki doesn't attempt to fend him off, as he's no match and Gwen wishes he'd fight back. Rosetta then uses her magical abilities to give Dinki the strength to fight back and he succeeds once that happens, but ends up being injured in the process. Back at the Markhams' house, Dinki has a head injury and rests in his bed basket. He understands even better, now that he knows for sure that Rosetta isn't out to cause trouble and thanks her for her help. But he's concerned that Gwen will begin to favor her more over him. When Rosetta leaves the room, Deedee finds her and brings her to her room where she and Jason are having a tea party. But Rosetta doesn't stay for long. When Gwen returns home with her friends and after Rosetta hears a mention of a tea party, she heads to the kitchen and conjures a tea set, and goodies on the table, for them. The girls are surprised to discover this and think Gwen's babysitter, Susannah, did all this. But apples are the only food she brought. Unbeknownst to them, Rosetta is responsible.
Later, Deedee, Jason, and a friend leave the house to go exploring in a cave, and bring Rosetta along with them. When Gwen returns home to find Rosetta missing, she and Dinki go searching for Rosetta, who falls into a crevice. Gwen uses a rope conjured by Rosetta to pull her up and out of there, but she just isn't strong enough. Rosetta uses magic once again to give her a boost. Gwen is amazed by her sudden super-strength, but is glad to have her back. Some time later, Griselda magically show up at the Markhams' residence to learn about the progress. Rosetta tells her it hasn't been going well, as Gwen still has no idea that Rosetta is an extraordinary cat. It's said that Rosetta might have to leave Gwen behind and go back to her realm if she continues to fail getting Gwen to notice. After having another talk with Dinki, Rosetta tells him she needs some rest to be ready for Halloween night.
On Halloween night, Rosetta puts her powers to use some more, this time by having Dinki and herself fly. From up a tree, they spot Gwen and her friends trick-or-treating and she magically makes chocolate candy bars with raisins appear in their Halloween bags. The next day, Gwen and Dinki go to the library to search for a reference book. Looking through it, Gwen learns that Rosetta is of the familiar breed and how familiars are paired with witches, and she's shocked to learn that she's a witch herself. She's also upset by this at first, but then comes to embrace her powers after talking about all the seemingly enchanting events she experienced to her parents.
Back at the cats' realm, Rosetta tells the Queen Mother how things haven't been going entirely quite as planned. The Queen Mother tells her she might have to leave Gwen's house and stay in the realm if she doesn't realize what's really been going on, and believe in it. Back in Gwen's room, she's testing out her newfound magic powers when she wishes that Rosetta were with her. And just as she does, Gwen's wish comes true and Rosetta appears. She and Rosetta are happy to see each other. Rosetta is accepted by her as her newer pet, and it's agreed that Gwen, Rosetta, and Dinki will work together as a team, and help out one another in any way they can.
