## Profile

### Appearance

Jaspers was a black kitten with a perpetually content expression and red button nose. In life , Jaspers wore a small gray suit jacket and pants, and a small white dress shirt underneath. These were visually identical to the clothes he was laid to rest in , although they're technically different suits, as Jaspers's original suit was ruined after he died when he washed up on the riverbank.

After being prototyped into Rose's sprite and becoming Jaspersprite, Jaspers wore a princess dress and hat and had long tentacles for arms that could extend very far. His whiskers were also replaced with small tentacles.
