* Cat form
* Dragon form

**"Black Cat" Ruru** is a Mistic sentient feline possessing human-level intelligence, dedicated to seeking out an apprentice with whom she can share her knolege of the the Mitistic Arts.

Upon discovering Airen Parreira, she assumed the role of his mentor in the Mystic Arts, forging a close bond that evolved into a profound friendship, accompanying him on his journeys.

## Appearance

### Cat form

In her feline guise (common form), Ruru manifests as a black cat with striking blue eyes, adorned with white fur at the tip of her tail, along her lower face to her stomach, and on her lower limbs.

### Dragon form

In her draconic form (humanoid form), she takes on the likeness of a young girl, complete with azure eyes, fair complexion, diminutive horns, and dragon wings. This transformation is accompanied by a black dress and short-sleeved shirt, though she retains the ability to alter her attire.

## Personality

Ruru exhibits a playful and occasionally childlike demeanor, her feline nature endearing her to simple pleasures such as fish, balls of thread, and foxtails. She is highly expressive and can easily become emotionally invested, particularly in matters concerning her cherished friend and apprentice, Airen.

In the realm of instructing and discussing mystical arts, she adopts a more earnest and composed demeanor, emphasizing the gravity of the subject matter.

Ruru is also sensitive to unfounded rumors regarding her association with misfortune. This susceptibility leads her to self-blame and periods of melancholy. However, in the company of Airen, her self-perception has undergone a positive transformation.

## History

The complete history of Ruru, including her birthplace, age, and familial background, remains shrouded in mystery. The Parreira Family's was traying to to unravel her at least some of her origins but they olny have yielded little more than speculations and hearsay.

We know that Ruru wasn't always Mistic and she had stray cat friend hat give her doll.

### Rumors

Airen's confidants have heard various speculations surrounding Ruru:

* The purported devastation of the Oracle Guild following her departure.
* The tragic demise of her apprentice, Jackal Fief, in an unfortunate accident.
* The decline of the prosperous Balavine merchant group.

Ruru, however, maintains that these events are merely coincidences, but she is not sure if she is not resposible for giving them misfortune.

### Parreira Family

Initially, Ruru aspired to select Kiril Parreira as her apprentice. However, upon discovering Airen's latent potential in the Mystic Arts during one of his training sessions, she extended the offer to him.

After some deliberation, Airen accepted, and their training commenced. Following Airen's awakening of the Mystic Arts within himself, he was drawn into Ruru's orb, entering a dream state wherein he trained for five years. This outcome left Ruru initially troubled, causing her to hesitate in facing him. Contrarily, Airen expressed gratitude upon awakening, solidifying their resolve to embark on adventures together.

## Abilities and Powers

After Airen came back from Chrono Swordsmanship Academy and have a diner with his family. The theam of the talk got to the Ruru and Kiril said "That cat is super strong. I can tell just from looking at her. She's probably stronger than any of the mystic's in kingdom's capital." Her staitment is show laiter that the Ruru is really capatyule of big things but most of theam are used in more of the silly and not serius way by Ruru.

### human-level intelligence

Ruru, even if childlike and with cat-like behavior, has human-level intelligence which she mostly uses to communicate with people and teach her apprentice.

### Infinite Pouch (fan name)

She can summon a pink pouch that can store a seemingly infinite amount of objects. It's known that the pouch can store things that are larger than the pouch itself. The limit of things, size, or weight that the pouch can store is unknown, but we know that from all the things that were stored in the pouch, none of them were living or greatly powerful, big, or heavy. Also, it's worth mentioning that we only see how Ruru takes things out of the pouch, not the other way around. The list of things Ruru stores in the infinite pouch is:

* small sword
* cat's eye
* wooden ball
* foxtail
* doll
* orb

She was able change her form to a smaller white cat when avoiding Airen.

### Closets Summoning

She is able to summon/make her own closets in cat and dragon form.

### Dragon Form

When Airen was in danger, she instinctively transformed into Dragon Form, presumably giving her more offensive spells.

#### Fireball

When in "Dragon Form," she could gather fire energy that she shaped into a ball that she could throw. However, she had problems with proper aiming and ended up missing the target, creating a big hole in the ground where it hit. After a while, Ruru was exhausted and went to sleep, indicating that this fireball was really energy-consuming for her.
