Workshop Three - Day Four ExerciseName of Kalon: lisbeth
Link to Kalon: xxDescribe their pet/companion:a short-furred gray cat w/ black stripes + white accents (mouth, paws). dark green eyes, doesn't look like she's glaring as much as many other cats do. missing a bite from her ear, presumably from a fight with another cat. named "queen" for her rule of the school. lisbeth calls her "mithra" though, bc lis is video game bum.
How did they meet their pet/companion?:mithra is the campus pet at lisbeth's college. the cat just showed up one day, and proceeded to hang around the school thereafter. she gained a reputation quickly among the students, and eventually became a sort of mascot. initially, no one really knew where mithra went during the nights. now, there's one student who does know- lis.
it was an accident, "adopting" the cat. lis, being a cat fanatic, always stopped to pet and feed mithra when she could. lots of students were like this, but for whatever reason, mithra took a particular liking to lis, even beginning to follow her around. one night, as lis was trying to enter the dorm building, she couldn't shake mithra off. animals aren't allowed in the building, so obviously this presented a problem. ultimately, lisbeth caved in and stuffed the cat in her backpack (she'd taken the books out and carried them in her arms. it was v painful). how the cat stayed quiet the whole trip to her room, lis has no idea.
the next morning, she couldn't find mithra - the cat was nowhere to be found. the window was open though, and outside it was a tree with branches that extended very close to the building. lis figured the cat made it out that way, hopefully safely.
two nights later, mithra showed up at lis' window.
nowadays, half the time the cat can be found in lisbeth's room. sometimes in her closet, when someone knocks at her door while mithra's inside. it makes lis nervous breaking the dorm rules, but she can't say no to a cat. her window is left open almost 24/7 for mithra. (fortunately, while mithra's out, so many other students feed her that lis doesn't need to buy much cat food :0c)
