Appearance

High Jinks is a lithe, shadowy Tabaxi teen with sleek black fur and luminous feline eyes. Her cloak is star-patterned, often tattered at the edges but shimmering faintly in low light. Her demeanor flits between impish curiosity and cosmic awareness, with an ever-present sly grin—like she knows a secret the world forgot.

Personality

🧠 Key Trait: Chaotic Curious — Mischievous but wise beyond her years, drawn to secrets.

High Jinks embodies both whimsy and unknowable depth. She's bold and fearless in conversation, often taking the lead with NPCs, but her mind flickers between here and the stars. Her bond with an alien patron fuels both her magic and her reckless streak. She trusts her instincts over rules and plays with the boundaries of reality—sometimes literally.

Backstory

📖 Click to Expand Backstory

High Jinks once lived among distant human relatives who treated her more like a pet than family. She found comfort in books, especially ones about other worlds and hidden gods. One night, she nursed a wounded black cat back to health—only to discover it was a familiar of an alien being from beyond the stars. This being offered her escape, power, and freedom.

She took it.

Now she travels the world—and soon, perhaps, the stars—fueled by a pact with a Great Old One, determined never to be controlled again.
