4.  NPCS

4.1  Gordon

Gordon

Species Cat
Date of Birth August 2014
Gender Male

Origin

Found wandering Cour des Miracles' territory with his assumed brother Teak; the pair were offered food by Calanthia and they've followed her around since, meowing and covering her skirts in cat hair.

Description

A light orange, orange-eyed tabby tomcat. Medium-sized and sturdy; heavier than he looks. Handsome.

About

Loud, loving, and clingy, Gordon is most comfortable when he's meowing, squeaking, chirruping, and purring in Calanthia's lap. He's a (mostly) sweet, playful cat whose favorite things are food and cuddling. He's also partial to wild romping and biting ankles as they pass. Is wary of anyone who doesn't give him food, but will quickly befriend the generous few who do.

Residence

Around Cour des Miracles' Chien Hotel or at Calanthia's feet.

4.2  Teak

Teak

Species Cat
Date of Birth August 2014
Gender Male

Origin

Found wandering Cour des Miracles' territory with his assumed brother Gordon; the pair were offered food by Calanthia and they've followed her around since, meowing and covering her skirts in cat hair.

Description

A pale tan, light-green-eyed tabby tomcat. Medium-sized, but leggy. Handsome.

About

Quiet, active, and mischievous, Teak has little regard for the comfort of anyone but himself. He's less friendly than his brother, but is just as likely to jump up on someone's lap; just don't pet him, or he'll sink his claws into whatever body part is within reach. This is often juxtaposed, if he likes someone, with goading them for affection before his inevitable attack. Is just as fond as food as Gordon, but is less trusting.

Residence

Around Cour des Miracles' Chien Hotel or at Calanthia's feet.

Timeline

Before 'Souls

2014

  • 17 January - Mid-April: Calanthia is born with a different name alongside three stillborn siblings with her large family in attendance. She spends the first few months of her life getting accustomed to the settlement her pack, a group of French-Canadian wolves and wolf hybrids, have claimed as their own. Her father carries her around as he tends to his magical practice and her mother reads to her in English and French nightly. Ultimately, this is lessened to only English, as it's hard enough to teach Calanthia to read English words and phrases.
  • Mid-April - June: Calanthia's parents learn she suffers from similar hallucinations to her father, and her mother Adeline proceeds to go off the deep end and begins to emotionally abuse Calanthia. She is required to recite phrases her mother writes for her such as "lying is bad and I will never lie to mother about made up things again" instead of her previous reading lessons.

Calanthia's father Piers assures his child that she's normal, that it's all okay, and that he's proud of her. He understands, because he hears strange things, too. Conversely, Adeline grows colder toward Calanthia and is more expectant of her "son," Calanthia spends less time around her mother and more time around her father's side of the family. She begins to learn about their magical practice and finds herself hooked.

  • June - Mid-July: Calanthia begins to understand that she isn't male and cringes when hearing her birth name and when masculine terms are attributed to her. She wants to look like her older cousin Mallory who's just had her first shift; she's pretty, unlike Calanthia. Despite her father, Aunt Iris, and Aunt Jocelyn promising she can tell them anything, she's convinced they won't understand and won't accept her.

Calanthia's first shift only exacerbates her discomfort. She becomes a "fine young man" and even her mother is proud of her "handsome son." She doesn't feel handsome. She feels weird and broken. Calanthia isn't entirely a woman, she doesn't think, but she definitely isn't a man. She learns that covering up her body helps; she soon amasses a wardrobe of old skirts and pullover shirts that hide the parts of her she doesn't like.

  • Mid-July - November: Calanthia throws herself into her studies to combat her dysphoria. She endures her daily "writing lessons" that replaced her "reading lessons;" an hour a day during which her mother forces her to rewrite handwritten phrases condemning lying and so-called "make believe games" to ensure her child's "normalcy."

More enjoyable activities include lessons on her father's magical practice, as well as learning to identify the plants and herbs in the area. Aunt Iris, upon learning her "nephew" was taking such an interest in plant collecting, feels it is paramount to teach Calanthia the innumerable things to do with plants once found. Calanthia is especially drawn to making and learning about poisons, which results in Iris suggesting Piers teach her how to perform curses. That way Calanthia could have another metaphysical method of defense, in addition to the protective wards she'd been taught.

Her paternal grandfather Bertrand and Aunt Jocelyn teach Calanthia basic weapons skills. Jocelyn, a trained archer, insists the girl focus on that. While it's a good way of building muscle, Calanthia's aim is poor and her concentration issues make improvement a slow process. Still, she becomes good enough to hit her aunt's targets. Y'know, if she's really lucky and the wind is just right and she remembers how to properly hold her bow.

Her paternal grandmother Kestrel teaches her to sew, though frequently instructs Calanthia on the same techniques over and over again as if they're brand new.

Despite her friendly relationship with her cousin Mallory, Mallory's mother Louise and Calanthia's maternal grandparents are distant at best and mean-spirited at worst to Calanthia.

  • November - January: At ten months old, Calanthia makes a decision. She's going to tell her family, at least some of it, that she's not really a boy. She doesn't want to hide anymore. Coming out to her Aunt Iris is accidental; she overhears her niece practicing a rather jumbled coming out speech. Iris responds by kindly explaining that she understands; whereas Calanthia isn't a man, Iris isn't a woman. The girl's aunt is something in between, something special. Just as special as Calanthia is. Their plan of Calanthia coming out further on her own terms is interrupted by the surprise news that Adeline is pregnant.

2015

  • Mid-January - June: The pack sees another January birth of two little boys who quickly become Adeline's pride and joy. Calanthia is practically ignored by her mother, even as her first birthday comes and goes.

Calanthia secretly comes out to the rest of her father's side of the family, beside Aunt Louise and Mallory. While not everyone understands, they prove accepting. By comparison, Calanthia is only ridiculed when she tries to spend time with Cy and Dorian, her little brothers. Adeline watches them like a hawk and doesn't want Calanthia to "make them crazy." If Adeline isn't watching Calanthia with "her boys," Piers better be.

Ultimately, Cy overhears a conversation between Calanthia and their father and later asks why Adeline never told him he "had a sister." While first convinced that Calanthia has passed on her "crazy" to her younger brothers, the truth is quickly revealed.

Adeline takes it horribly, and before she can act upon the "consequences" she promises Calanthia, her father's side of the family provides her enough supplies to make it to Jocelyn's favorite trade hub, a place called Freetown. She leaves and doesn't plan on ever looking back.

  • June - July: Calanthia hides out in Freetown for several days before setting off to the northeast toward a place called "Souls," an area filled with luperci packs by the ocean. She is intrigued and intends on staying a while, if anything there catches her interest.
