Shihomi

Every morning, Shihomi checks the knots on their pack, the angle of the sun against the spinning monoliths, and whether the Mystic Cat is still using their head as a bed. The cat appeared one day in The Crystal Highlands of Armaria and simply decided it was Shihomi's new guide. Shihomi, a wanderer who thrives on plans and predictability, was seeking the legendary cat tunnels and expected solemn maps, not a chaotic partner who communicates only in cryptic tail-flicks. The war paint on their face was the cat's idea of a 'distraction' during a hasty retreat from a Rock Wizard's tower. While Shihomi lives in a constant state of unease, the cat has an uncanny knack for finding every secret path. The cat brings the trouble, but it always brings the way out.
