Cher

Design notes: Ermine features instead of leoperd ones. Buttons should not be bunny shaped.

Talk about a diva. When Cher strutted his way into the casino, it immediately became impossible to concentrate on anything else. He tugged the fur of his cloak up to his face cutely and batted his eyelashes at the man sitting down in front of the poker table. Without thinking, the man stood up and proffered his seat to him. Cher's eyes narrowed into a smile and he elegantly seated himself. When the other man realized what had happened it was already too late, he hung his head in shame and trudged away.

 

"Darling." Cher placed his hand gently on the arm of another person seated near him. "I'd just like to play one little game for fun, but it seems I forgot my wallet at home." He convincingly set a pouty frown in his face and the other person tossed a couple of chips in front of him.

 

"Whatever, doll, I'll be winnin' 'em back anyway."

 

"Thanks so much~" His voice was honey sweet and the other person coughed and turned away, hiding a blush. Today's donor was stingy, but it would be enough to work with. Cher turned to the dealer. "Dear, I do believe we're all ready to start now?"

 

The dealer grunted in acknowledgement.

 

This dealer was pretty good. Cards went out smoothly and the games went quickly. It took some time for the man who had handed Cher the poker chips to realize that Cher hadn't yet lost all the money. "Doll, I think playtime is over."

 

"You're just afraid because you just put in the last of your money."

 

"What?" He looked down and realized Cher was right. "Listen, girlie." Cher bristled slightly at that under his shawl, but the other man didn't notice. "I don't know what you're about, but we're done."

 

"Oh, of course, how rude of me to drag it on so long." Cher tossed her hand on the table. Full house. Not the best hand, certainly, but he already knew it was enough to win.

 

The other man launched himself at Cher and Cher easily stepped out of the way. Security came and restrained the angry man, dragging him out of the casino as he yelled swears and abuse at Cher. Cher only hummed quietly to himself as he gathered up all the poker chips with deft fingers.

 

Some time later, Cher shoved a bundle of bills into someone else's hands. "Thanks for the help again, darling~" Cher reached up to brush lightly at the dealer's face and the dealer's breath caught.

 

"No problem, have fun tonight?" The dealer casually counted the bills as they spoke. It wasn't because they didn't trust Cher; they were really just going through the motions.

 

"The answer is yes as always~ This night's jerk really had it coming to him, huh?" Cher's eyes glinted with humor.

 

The dealer nodded emphatically. "Ye, totally, saw 'im pocketing a couple chips off the table between games ya know?"

 

"Mmm, make sure some of that money gets to the right people okay?" Cher smiled at the dealer genuinely this time and the dealer laughed with pure happiness. Cher savored the sound for a minute before realizing they had asked a question.

 

"You'll be back tomorrow, of course?"

 

"We'll see, darling, we'll see." The same mysterious answer as always. No matter how often the two of them met, Cher was always an enigma. The dealer supposed that in the end, only Cher could ever know what he was up to in the rest of his time.

 

A cool champagne glint bounced off Cher's jewelry onto the streets as he walked to whatever his next destination was. Maybe even Cher didn't know. Whatever, he'd be back.

Facts:
Cher smells like clear jello (just a hint of sweetness and nothing more. Perfume and cologne is not really his thing, but he'll wear them if he must).

Cher loooooves faux fur and fluffy clothing.

Cher is mildly allergic to flowers

The reason Cher enjoys champagne is because it's color is soft and inviting and the bubbles are fun. He never drinks enough to get drunk. Actually, sometimes he doesn't even drink it; he just buys it and stares at it (this only happens when he's not putting on his big cutesy act to trick some rich guys out of their money).
