What did they steal?:
They had stolen a book from their local bookstore. They absolutely love books and when they saw that there was a new one coming out for his favorite series he had to have it. He soon realized that he couldn't afford it and then he had stolen the book. He hopes he won't ever be found out, but knowing how nosy everyone in his family is they will all figure out soon. Better hurry up and read that book fast!

Res with the name Kalila or Venus- what a sweetheart!

Name: Bella
Nickname: Coco
Reason For Nickname: As a kit, Bella could not stop eating the cocoa powder from the box. When no one was looking, she's dart her paw in and lick the tasty power off her paw. Of course, others noticed. That's where the nickname began.
Gender: Female
Personality: It's hard to say. When you look at her, she seems like a teacher's pet, but in fact, she's the opposite! Bella loves to be a trouble-maker, and she'll do anything you tell her not to do.
Background: As a kit, Coco wasn't disciplined enough. She could do whatever she wanted, so this Les her to do bad things, like steal money from others, and deceive the old to rob them. Bella isn't bad (well, personality wise) just brought up the wrong way.
What did they steal?

Oh, it was nothing.

10:06 (and thirty-three seconds)

"oh! I'm so sorry!" The man said as he had knocked into you, keeping ahold of your wrist, seeming disoriented. "You're fine!" You reply, a smile on your face and you both pull yourself up. Your bag had scattered across the pavement, contents spilling out of it. Your stuff! Oh how everything is so vulnerable! The man anchored himself on you, helping himself up before he helped you onto your feet. "I'm so sorry! If I had anymore time, I would help you, but I'm going to be late. I'm really sorry though! I hope you have a wonderful day!" The man quickly left. Oh but how nice he was! He looked worried about being late. You would be too if you don't hurry up. You flocked over to your bag, gathering your contents. Ah, at last. Nothing was missing, surprisingly, from your bag. You slung the item over your shoulder, sighing in relief. You looked down at your wrist, out of habit and convenience, for the time. Your bare skin was the only thing that met your eyes. That was weird. You swore you put it on when you left this morning. As a matter of fact, you did. You glance back to the pavement behind you, scanning for your watch. It wasn't there. You remember the stranger, how he helped himself up, his hand never leaving your wrist. Not until he left, anyways. You suddenly come to the realization that he stole your watch!

Time

That's something that everyone is short of. Some more than others. Besides the tarts (and the hearts), Sesha steals time; literally. Watches and pocket watches slip out of pockets and wrists as easily as they slid on, in sesha's pocket in a matter of one-hundred and twenty seconds. Swiping away peoples time had always interested the man, especially since he found out that with his plush paws, swiping hours away became much, much easier. He was ten- that calculates into 87600 hours, or 5256000 minutes, or 315360000 seconds. But who's counting?- when he first found out that his size had an advantage. He wasn't the strongest, the most athletic or even the fastest, but Sesha had charisma and a big smile, traits that most people found welcoming.

Sesha, of course, takes advantage of these people and their precious minutes. Sesha isn't confined to routines, however, one act he tends to trick people is called "The Four Queens". For a summary, double sided tape is used to stick four aces to the queens. Now this trick is very simple, but can be very persuasive and very effective. The slight of hand is showcased in the trick, allowing the eyes to be diverted to the hands, while the real trick is hidden while the person is distracted. Sesha moves closer to the victim, pressing his arms to theirs while standing side by side, allowing him to scope out their pockets. Usually, a pocket watch hangs from a chain and into said pocket. At this time, Sesha would direct their attention once again to the cards, splaying them out with one hand, swiping the watch. Sesha then places the deck of cards into the pocket, turning around and shaking the victims hand, the watch securely pressed into his fur. The whole trick, and swiping, takes around two minutes (120 seconds) and before the person can notice, Sesha escapes the street, vanishing without a trace.

Another trick Sesha uses is the old "bumping into another". Sesha "accidentally" bumps into the watch-wearing victim, holding onto their wrist (and the watch) as they both fall, unhooking the watch from the buckle. While Sesha is apologizing, he keeps hold of their wrist, sliding off the watch while he stands back up. The trick to this robbery is to find someone with a watch and an item such as a breifcase. When the person is on the ground, they'd have something to collect while Sesha walks off, taking them moments (precious time, precious time) to realize they've been robbed.

Sesha is very calculated and doesn't miss a heartbeat (.25ths of a second), always calculating what times, even down to the second, he has to escape or how long each trick should last. The internal clock of his mind chimes with satisfaction when everything goes according to plan. Every second of his day is planned out and Sesha is always conscious about what time it is. Ironically, he is always late wherever he goes. Time management isn't a skill of his, even if the clock inside him ticks and chimes. He's just too stubborn to listen. Most of the time, you can count him mumbling out the seconds, his middle and pointer fingers tick, tock, one after another, all the time. Sesha will often keep things stuffed into his bow, having sewn pockets into the fabric, holding his money, and more importantly, stolen watches.

While Sesha is a theif, Sesha can also be quite sensitive. He isn't the skinniest cat in the world. As a younger man, he was often made fun of for his body type (averaging 56 times per year, more or less), but Sesha has now found an advantage in his design. Instead of stealing those delicious strawberry-filled tarts, hes spent more time being precise, rather than sloppy. If you knew Sesha in his younger years, he was brash, rude and prickly, warding off people who could potentially make fun of him, sending off a cold shoulder and a wall that was twenty feel high and ten feet wide. Now, learning from his past mistakes, especially stealing tarts (besides, the baker down the way didn't miss a few tarts, especially not for a boy who's been starving for days. Those tarts were stale anyways) he's altered himself to be more approachable, more friendly, rather than cold. The lilt of his voice is soft, comforting, and he's as snugly as a big teddy bear. Who hates big, soft teddy bears? Sesha can be very manipulative, can (and will) steal your precious time with a big, warm smile and a bat of his eyelashes. Besides, who thought a cuddly teddy bear would even think about stealing your life away? Certainly not Sesha... "no time to say hello, goodbye! I'm late, I'm late I'm late!"

What did they steal?:
Betta. They steal lots and lots and lots of betta, for some odd reason.





"With Beauty and grace,
from crowntail to black lace,
these swimming works of art
I will always hold in my heart

With colors from red to bright blue,
yellow, copper and even an opaque hue.
These fish will shine and glimmer,
though they may not be the best swimmers

Fish so intelligent and wise
they look at you straight in the eyes.
They seem to know what's on your mind,
and they are the best listeners you can find

Never knowing a fish could be
so smart and beautiful you didn't see.
But this is no ordinary fish,
for a betta splenden is what we wish."
- Jessica Bloch



"Oh my goodness, Clover, not again," Bailey sighed, at a loss for what to do at this point. This was the sixth time this week that Clover had brought home a betta fish. There were now seventeen in the living room, eight in the dining room, and at least thirty tanks littered Clover's bedroom. Each fish was happy and well taken care of, yet Bailey couldn't help but worry. Where was Clover getting all these fish..? Was she buying them? Bailey assumed she didn't really have the extra money, as she spent so much each month on fish food! Curiosity getting the best of him one morning, Bailey decided to follow Clover out. Quietly, he walked on silent paws to see where Clover was acquiring all these betta. As expected, the fish obsessed Kalon soon turned into a pet store. Perfect! Maybe she had a loyal customer deal! Watching sneakily through the window, however, Bailey found that wasn't the case. With wide, horrified eyes, Bailey watched as Clover swiped a fish, quickly hiding the bag in her fluff. No one noticed a thing. He watched even more amazed as she wished the cashier a good day and just... walked out. So that's where she had been getting the fish! Following Clover back home, Bailey managed to slip back into the house undetected.
"Clover?" he called from the living room, watching as the Kalon poked her head in to see why she was being called.
"Yes, Bailey?"
"Did you do anything fun today?"
"Oh, well, I bought a new fish!" she chimed, her eyes lighting up as she grabbed the new betta from the kitchen table and brought it back to show her friend.
"So...you bought it? With the money you had already spent on fish food and betta treats..?" As soon as Bailey had said it, Clover had gone pale. She was found out. Sighing, Bailey got to his paws, "You can't just steal fish whenever you want to, Clover. You need to save up and buy them," a solemn nod and a frown showed Clover had at least considered learning her lesson. Getting an idea, however, Bailey paused, "Wait a minute...!"

It had been two weeks since Clover had begun working at the fish store, according to Bailey's plan. She had confessed to the manager about her fish stealing, and after a firm lecture managed to get a job cleaning tanks. Soon, she graduated to taking care of the fish themselves. Finally, only three months later, Clover was head of the betta department! Now she had all sorts of betta! Smiling warmly, she resolved never to steal betta ever again.

Granted, neither did she return the ones she had already acquired.
