Manatu Itsugi

Manatu was a young cat from Earth 185, born into a large family. Manatu lived in a shelter with his siblings. He was the youngest of seven cats, raised by his eldest sister Anarin, as his parents were adopted after she was born. He spent his life inside this shelter, watching each of his siblings find new homes. Eventually, only Anarin and Manatu remained, a young girl coming to adopt Anarin. Manatu was deeply upset by this and wanted to leave with the same girl to be with his sister. He refused to go with anyone else, waiting for the girl. Manatu would wait too long however, and his allowed time in the shelter ran out. Manatu was taken to the back of the shelter, and put down, he stumbled around on the table until he would fall off and die on impact.
Manatu currently resides in Eterna, separated from Ashton, and allowed to create whatever visions he wants.
== Book 3 ==
Manatu would be combined with the spirit of Ashton Mayflower to create Caterpillar, causing his more kind and soft attitude. Manatu would be one of the voices in Caterpillar's head, being more aware of how Ashton was treating him and attempting to console the angered cat. Once Caterpillar was able to communicate with the voices, Manatu would explain that he is "upset that [he has] to go… but [he wishes Caterpillar] well, and [hopes he] live well." He does not wish to die again, but has little choice and accepts this fact rather quickly.
