Cat Sith (Species)

Cat Sith are a type of mogwai that specialize in healing, and can be initially found in all main cities. Most Cat Sith live in Hisstanbul, but a size-able fraction are traveling mogwai that employ their healing abilities to any who need them. Klein is a notable Cat Sith, with other characters listed bellow.

## Etymology

Cat Sith (or Cait Sidhe; pronounced "Ket Shee") is considered a type of fairy from Celtic Mythology, usually depicted as a black cat with a white spot on its chest. While more common in Scottish folklore, they also appear in a few Irish folklore.

Some of its mythos claim that Cat Sith are in fact witches, who can transform into a cat nine times– for which then, they'll permanently become a cat. This is believed to be the origin of the phrase "cats have nine lives", as these witches can transform nine times. Other folklore say that during Samhain (which is a traditional Gaelic festival), depending on whether you leave a saucer of milk as an offering, a Cat Sith could either bless your household or curse your milk supply dry.

**Mayor** is the leader of Hisstanbul, and prefers to stay stationary within the town.

**Appearance:** Mayor has brown fur, and two tails (characteristic of a Cat Sith) with white tips. She wears a white mask with a henohenomoheji drawn on it, concealing her face. She styles her furr so that a tuff pokes out from the mask, visually similar to hair.
Her hoodie look and color scheme is startlingly familiar, as to which she claims was influenced by the look of "Solum's Future Hero" told by a Bake-Kujira fortune teller.
**Personality**: Mayor is cautious leader, closing off Hisstanbul to prevent further "milk casualties". Despite this, she is also open-minded, conditionally letting Eve and the party through at Klein's suggestion.
