Story
the old legends tell tales of cats who’ve grown old in the good care of a human turning into fearful and powerful demons. kano rei can tell you that those legends are true. she was one of the oldest cats in her small village, and one day she went to sleep and woke up different– a killer kind of different. she had become a fabled bakeneko. the very first night, she ate her former owners, and destroyed a good chunk of the village. from there, the new and dangerous yokai spent a few hundred years rampaging and pillaging, possessing and killing and eating humans, doing general demon-y things. the beginning of those centuries are now lost to her memory, and any attempt to recollect them is near impossible. she does not remember where she originated, but she ‘woke up’ somewhere near present day kyoto in the asuka period. she spent the next couple centuries running around the country and continuing to wreak havoc. rei and her legend are still popular in the social circles of the guardian lines, she is lauded (in her opinion) and feared as one of the most powerful bakeneko to ever live. she has held onto her bloodlust and never tires of speaking about how evil and violent and powerful she is, even though she hasn’t has a good rampage in a few decades.
at one point she grew tired of dealing with the guardians coming after her, and defected to what is now mamono. she didn’t know it was already inhabited by a fairy, or that she would become friends with her, or that she would grow to be a pillar of the island’s government, but sometimes life just happens.
