𝔏orem

Named after the Greek word for warm.

Traits: Shy, friendly, and motherly, evident in her love of humans and other creatures.

Notes: First spotted roaming the library and kicked out by the librarian. People defended her presence, saying her good temper was more than enough to let her stay. Zestos always smelled like freshly baked goods and she brought the pleasant scent with her into the library. She waited for permission before entering and exiting the building or jumping onto chairs or stools. She never leapt onto tables, even when prompted. Zestos sat with readers but was usually with the children, and calmed them down when they were too loud. Over time the librarian grew to enjoy her company too. The villagers found out Zestos lived in the village bakery. The age old mystery of her origins and pleasant smell was solved. It also explained why she didn't jump onto tables.
