Friendly Priest Cat

***WARNING: This page may contain HEAVY spoilers for everything up to Chapter 2, and as a result, it's recommended that you don't read any further until you've at least reached Chapter 3.***

Friendly Priest Cat is a missionary sent to Firstville from Meowlbion, and a party member the player can unlock near the end of Chapter 1.

## Personality

Priest Cat is, for the most part, a serious, discipline-focused character, who takes his religious beliefs very seriously. Despite being clearly based on Catholicism, the name of the religion he practices is mostly unknown, although we do know that it worships a being known as the Creator, and as explained by the Wise Old Cat at the end of Chapter 1, was created by Meowlbian society as an alternate explanation for the origin of the world for those who couldn't bear the truth of the Two of Them; what this "truth" is is also unknown. As well as his religion, Priest Cat is fiercely loyal to Meowlbion, being part of the reason why Little Grey Cat ends up rescuing the Meowlbion royal family in Chapter 2. However, despite these things, Priest Cat will not place his religion or Meowlbion above his own conscience, as shown when he agreed to get Little Grey Cat into Meowlbion, as opposed to killing him as the Wise Old Cat had suspected that he might.

## Story

### Background

Originally a priest in Meowlbion, Priest Cat was sent to Firstville as a missionary to spread his religion to the largely indifferent population. Why he specifically was chosen is unknown.

### Plot

#### Chapter 1

After Little Grey Cat failed to find a toilet in the Toilet Factory, he approached Priest Cat for spiritual guidance. Upon realizing the boy's immense spiritual potential, Priest Cat took him to meet the Wise Old Cat, assuming that he could become some sort of religious figure for Meowlbion. However, instead, the Wise Old Cat revealed Little Grey Cat's nature as a successor to the Two of Them, forcing Priest Cat to confront the fact that his whole religion was a lie. Torn between his beliefs and his knowledge of the Wise Old Cat's almost all-knowing nature, Priest Cat chose to live mostly as he had before, seeing the Creator as more of a symbol of how one should strive to live, as opposed to an actual being. Despite this, however, he still held some level of hope that the Creator might turn out to be real after all.

#### Chapter 2

After the party's escape from the Meowlbion Castle Dungeons, they ran into Chivalrous Knight Cat, who let them know of the royal family being kidnapped. While Little Grey Cat wanted to simply ignore this, Priest Cat played a major role in convincing him to save them, which would eventually lead to the prevention of a False Cat takeover of Meowlbion, and to Little Grey Cat's mission to find and defeat Miraboala, searching for the Two of Them along the way.

## As a Party Member

Having the first healing skill the player can gain, showing up even before it can be obtained through Skill Scrolls, Priest Cat is an important early-game healer. Additionally, due to the fact that he starts with Holy, and his decently high MAT stat, he can also function well as an offensive magic user. His only real weakness is his pitifully low ATK stat, making him basically useless with physical attacks of any kind.
