No one knew how she -- no, IT came to be. Perhaps a spell cast by powerful mages. Perhaps the sacrifice of a nobleman's beloved pet feline. Or, perhaps, like the fabled Bennu Bird of the Ancient Egyptians, just "Came to be".
Name: She goes by many names, the most common being 'Willomine' and 'The Ragged Stray'. (I, although, have affectionately nicknamed her "Willo") Gender: Unknown, presumably female. Category: Unknown. Some say a ghost, others say a vision or hallucination (in my opinion, the latter is most likely). Description: Feline in appearance, Willomine stands at two and a half feet, and seems to be composed of translucent white cloth, torn and ragged at the edges. Hence the name 'Ragged Stray'. She bears no hind legs or frontal paws, suggesting that if she is a ghost, her death was fairly violent. Her right eye, according to some survivors, has no pupil or iris and is always locked in a wide, emotionless stare. On that note, it seems as though her left eye was torn out, presumably in the same event where she died. Personality: I have found that when around friends and acquaintances, she is calm and peaceful. She has been seen nuzzling other felines, and is much more affectionate around them. Around criminals, ignorant teenagers, and drunken or intoxicated humans, she is extremely hostile. I have also found that she can actually be intoxicated by catnip like any other domestic feline, and becomes playful and extremely mischievous under the influence of it. Behaviour: Willomine is known to prey on criminals and 'sinners'. The majority of which, were animal abusers. A series of terrible occurrences will ensue on the victim and usually last for two weeks, These events altogether are known as "The Hunt" At the first stage of "The Hunt" (also known as the 'Witching Stage'), the victim will begin to hear multiple voices chant softly, "Nowhere to --, nowhere to --, nowhere to --" in an endless loop, growing louder as more adrenaline is released into the victim's body. In the second stage, one (female) voice (presumably Willomine's) will ring out above the rest, screeching "PAY FOR YOUR SINS!!". The screeching and chanting goes on into the third stage (also known as the 'Haunting Stage'), where the victim will begin to see white flashes out of the corner of their eye, and have terrible nightmares of being either stabbed, hunted, or tortured. The forth stage (also known as the 'Suicide Stage') is the last stage for most. By this stage, the victim will usually commit suicide. If they have the willpower to resist, Willomine will appear before them and kill them herself. Summoning: Willomine can be summoned by a special incantation, which requires catnip, candles, and a forest within walking distance. First, you must walk into a the nearby forest. Once there, look for a bare patch of ground, with only soil. Draw the head or face of a cat the best you can in the dirt, and lay the catnip on top (any form of catnip will do, even toys filled with it!). Place the candles in a circle around the drawing, light them, and begin to chant the following: "Soft-stepping beast of forgotten light, appear before me and stand by my side tonight. Felis Nemus Spiritus! Felis Nemus Spiritus! Felis Nemus Spiritus!" Once summoned, Willomine will be forced to live with you for a week. If you treat her like you would a domesticated pet cat and shower her with affection, enjoyment and food, she will be at your aide when needed, and will appear upon your shoulder when you're experiencing negative emotions. If you mistreat her, she will begin "The Hunt" immediately. Abilities: She has four powers; Telepathy, Teleportation, floating, and "Misery", which enables her to send others into a mournful depression. Weaknesses: I have found that she is extremely attracted to catnip, and will divert all her attention from the attacker just to tackle and eat the herb. She also has an innate fear of anything with an image of fire, snakes, or farming scythes.
