Rodent

*"As she only wants to eat cheese, feeding her is particularly expensive."*

-Faust's Notebook

## Appearance

Rodent is an anthropomorphic creature like the rest. She appears to be a mix of bunny and mole, with large clawed hands and large feet. Although her affinity for cheese suggests she may also be part rat or mouse.

## Letter History

### Tier I

* Hello Papa,

Why was I born with this hideous face? Why do I have huge and scary claws, so unlike the others? I tried putting on nice clothes, but I still look hideous. You even tried giving me rubbish for food! No matter my face, I am a high class girl and you need to provide me with high grade cheese!

* Hello Papa,

You bought me more clothes. I thank you, but I do not think clothes will ever be able to cover my hideous features. You said that you bought them because I always look sad... but the truth is they make me even sadder knowing they cannot hid my appearance.

* Hello Papa,

I realized something about the clothes you gave me. They belonged to my missing sisters! I am sure that they were wearing them when they disappeared. What happened to my sisters? What did you do? What are you planning to do to me?

### Tier 2

* Hello Papa,

Our outsides do not tell the whole story. I am a classy girl, and I will only eat classy cheese. These claws and whiskers may fool the lower class townsfolk, but they are barely above the classless slum residents. Do not be like them!

* Hello Papa,

I try to be strong, but there are no classy people in the entire village. No one can see how special I am inside. It is so hard to be here. Can we move to the city, Papa? The people in the city must be of better quality. Please, Papa?

* Hello Papa,

I thought you cared about me when you gave me nicer clothes. I thought they might show the villagers something about me. But I see now they are only cast-offs. Why would I want to wear my sisters' old clothes? It is a disgrace. Where did my sister go, anyway, Papa?

### Tier 3

* Hello Papa,

I like good things in life, especially nice food. But everyone treats me like I have no standards. It is all because of my appearance. Why do the villagers all care so much about how I look, Papa? Why can they not see deeper?

* Hello Papa,

I noticed that many villagers turn their nose up at me, but they are no better. I see how they have ugly expressions on their faces, and I know their hearts are full of ugly thoughts. How can they still think they are better than me?

* Hello Papa,

I was starting to feel so alone, but then I noticed that you also keep your distance from the villagers. I think you are like me, Papa. You are also a better person on the inside then those lowlifes. I feel better knowing that you understand me.

## Death

Faust was amazed to see that one of his creations had rodent characteristics. He is happy when it is time to kill her, poisoning her like any other rodent before feeding her soul to his daughter's.

## Personality

Rodent expresses disdain at the fact that she is judged for her outward appearances. She seems to think highly of herself, based on the fact that she frequently calls herself "classy" and states that she has high standards. She seems to view the villagers as trashy, both for being less classy than she views herself and for being harsh toward her because of how she looks. She seems to respect Faust at higher affection levels, noting that he seems to be of a higher class than the villagers because of his tendency to keep to himself rather than interact with them.
