Auntie Tilly

• She does have a tail! Just a tiny lil cute bob tail
• You're always welcome to draw her with your/other characters, she's very friendly and loves "momming" literally anyone. Even the biggest, scariest adventurers. No one is immune to grandma's affections. 

"Whazzat now? Im not your aunt? Well see siree I sure am! I'm everybodies auntie, kitten-pie, now come here and let auntie make you a nice warm meal" 

Tilly is a cheery and friendly cat adventurer with a love of food, family, and cozy fires. She constantly feeds everyone the with the best homemade foods she can come up with with a typical grandma 'you dont eat enough sweetie'- that is to say, you're always looking scrawny and need a good meal in her book. She's everyone's auntie- even if  she's just met you! Which means she'll patch up your armor, make you dinner, and ask you questions you're not ready to answer about your life choices. She'll gladly tuck you in at night and happily read you stories with warm milk if it helps you sleep.

Because of this- she's become a known name in the places she travels as a great safe haven for adventurers- a friendly face among all the bandits and rogues wandering about. She travels with chef marfu, and others join their band on occasion in and out depending on who they feel needs a family for a while. 

Don't let her motherly exterior fool you though! If threatened she can use her frying pan as a weapon too, you know she's fighting something when you hear the resounding PANG CLANG WHBANG of metal on monster face. She might be nice- but she knows when to put her little foot down  too! She'll give you the stern words only a mother sassing a misbehaving child could-regardless of your age, if she feels the need. She carries around little doodles or photos of her 'kids' AKA anyone she's been nice to and they let her draw or take a picture of them. As far as she's concerned they might as well be her kittens too.

Because of her good reputation she's got plenty of big strong adventurers willing to help her if she really needs it. Auntie's made plenty of people happy and has plenty of favors she can call on. 

Auntie used to have kittens. Well, a long time ago she did. She had a whole lotta kittens. Twelve little ones in fact, until they all grew up and moved away, to pursue their own lives, their own careers. Well, Auntie just couldn't have an empty house. Her mate had passed away, her kittens had moved off, well- this little aging cat decided to totter off into the world and cook for strangers instead! She saw so many adventurers go through, big strong men and women who looked like they hadn't talked to their mother in years- or didn't have one at all! Well, Tilly decided, she'd be their mother! Their auntie! She'd be everyone's! Determined to make this happen she started carting around her cooking things, her sewing things. Well, in her younger days before raising twelve kittens she'd been a bit of a scrapper herself, she knew she could defend herself. She took to the road and started feeding anyone who'd let her a nice home  cooked meal.

She really hasn't experienced any horrible tragedies  in her life-and all the adventurers she met before setting off seemed to have such horrible backstories! She may not relate- but she understands. And doesn't judge. She doesn't need to hear where you came  from or where you're going (Unless you want to share), She just wants to see you smile. 

She used to be what some would call a "Legendary" hero, a cleric- actually, who saved the world plenty of times over before she settled down. She hasn't lost all her old friends and most certainly is a font of wisdom to those who seek to follow those footsteps too, if you're willing to humor out an old woman.
