Entity 21

A photo taken of Ianuaria

## Description

Ianuaria is a newly discovered entity found within the Schoolrooms. It is currently unknown if there are more than one of this entity, but the Ianuaria seems to roam the entire Schoolrooms and isn't found in specific levels or areas.

Encountering this entity is usually rare, but more and more spottings have been reported within the last few months. Ianuaria seems to stay closer to Levels that are at least Class 4 to Deadzone and is thought to want to help wanderers that are in trouble. It can be fed and will take food from wanderers that it trusts.

This entity is more than just in touch with human emotion and is able to tell if a person is good or bad by their scent. If it feels he person they've come across is mean or dangerous, it will attack and attempt to kill them. Because of its size, this is pretty easy for this entity to do.

This entity seems to be made of black smoke, but it is not incorporeal and can be touched. It can turn incorporeal when it wants to, though this is rare. It has been seen in different forms of cats, but the most seen "species" of cat it appears as is the one in the photo above. Although it's over ten times the size of an average domestic cat, this entity has been reported to behave exactly like one.

## Behavior

Like an average domesticated cat, Ianuaria behaves in pretty much the same manner. It has been observed hunting smaller entities for food and fun, grooming itself, and will rub against strangers that are kind.

If the entity is with a wanderer that owned a cat in Reality, it will know this and turn into the species of cat that specific wanderer had. This entity also seems to enjoy being a companion, as needed. Wanderers with a severe case of depression or anxiety have claimed to have been visited by this entity and while it has no physical features, it will lick wanderers and purr to lower their stress levels. Some wanderers have been visited multiple times by this entity when they needed it.

This entity will also curl around sleeping wanderers in the cold that are in danger of freezing, no matter where the wanderer is. This entity can also cool down wanderers that are in danger overheating or heat stroke. The Ianuaria is able to withstand any temperature and any weather conditions.

This curious feline isn't shy of water, either. It was witnessed saving T.S.E. scientist Rodnet Bosch from drowning after accidently slipping into the pool in Level 28. The scientist wasn't in the water for even 2 seconds before **Entity 21** had drug him out before running away just as quickly.

Though very friendly, the Ianuaria doesn't like being around large groups of people, especially if they work for T.S.E. as it doesn't seem to want to be documented. T.S.E. has respected its space and only performs distant observations and collects information from wanderers and staff that have encountered it.

## Biology

As mentioned above, this entity is not incorporeal and can be touch and pet, but it can also turn incorporeal at will. It seems to weaken and tire the entity and it doesn't seem to like to do this often.

It usually does this in situations where it needs to. The entire body is featureless and resembles the shadow of a domestic cat. The body is made up of black smoke and smoke can always be seen surrounding **Entity 21**.

Though it looks ethereal, it is in a solid-state 95 percent of the time. It has no facial features, but can be fed. While it will eat most of what's offered, **Entity 21** prefers raw, fresh meat.

## Discovery

Ianuaria was discovered by a wanderer who requested to be unnamed. They were being chased by Bullies when **Entity 21** leap out of the shadows and began to viciously attack the Bullies.

Once they ran off, the Ianuaria purred as it rubbed against the wanderer's leg. After sure the wanderer was safe and unharmed, it ran off out of sight. Since then, hundreds of reports have come in regarding the heroics of the Ianuaria.

It is unknown where this entity came from, but if you come across it in your travels, consider yourself lucky and try to make a new friend.
