Virtues: Friendly -- Pye is a very friendly cat, willing to socialize with just about anybody. Whether it's in the bookstore or out and about, he will come right up to you and start a conversation, puss around your ankles, or let you pet him. He's definitely a people cat, and the more people he has to interact with the happier he is. He loves other cats too, and will engage with them in the same manner. The only people he is even remotely skittish around are Chaos-aligned people; they give him the heebie-jeebies.
Knowledgable -- Pye has read a lot of different books and journals on a lot of different subjects, and as a result has quite a bit of information stockpiled away in his head. It might take him a moment to pull something out of his memory, but it's in there somewhere. His collection of knowledge is eclectic to say the least; it ranges from lunar phases for the year and planting times to how to craft a stone knife to the names of the dwarves who hired Bilbo Baggins as a 'thief'.
Steadfast -- He is allied with Order, and is absolutely loyal to the Order cause and those who support it. Pye will do whatever he needs to help his Order associates; dedicated and dependable, he's a cat you can count on in a pinch. His only regret is that he can't contribute as much assistance as he wishes he could, being a cat and all. His claws are sharp, though, and his resolve is great!
Curious -- If there was ever a cat that proved the reputation felines have for being curious, it's Pyewacket. He is a nosy creature who wants to know everything, which is why he reads so much. Knowledge is power, especially if you know it about the right people and things. He will stick his little blue nose in everyone's business, just to see if there's anything worth mentally filing away. He probably knows more about magick and the occult at this point than the owners of the bookstore do.
Flaws: Space Cadet -- Perhaps it's because of hanging out with all sorts of new-age adherents (or in a herb garden with fresh catnip), but Pye can be something of a scatterbrained cat. He acts space-y too much of the time, and can come off as a bit of a ditzy airy-fairy creature. He also has a tendency to forget what he was doing and hop on to something else mid-stream; he has various projects and formulae he is working on scattered all over his secret kitty workspace out back.
Chatterbox -- Pye is a talkative creature, sometimes to the point where he doesn't know when to shut up and be quiet. Given half a chance, he will talk your face off. He gets more talkative when he is nervous too, which is not a good thing at all. He will hop from one subject to another when talking, spouting whatever random tidbits of info surface from his memory.
Superstitious -- Again, probably as a result of where he lives, Pye is somewhat superstitious. He's not wary of black cats or anything silly like that, but he pays attention to things like jinxes and follows the stars and phases of the moon religiously. If the signs and portents indicate trouble, he has to really struggle to do things rather than hide under a pile of blankets with a pawful of talismans until it passes. Luckily his resolve usually wins out, though he'll still be wary and cautious.
Curious -- Yes, this is a virtue AND a flaw! The adage "Curiosity killed the cat" absolutely applies to Pye. As noted, he will stick his little blue nose into everything, sometimes places where he shouldn't be sticking it. This has caused him to come close to losing one of his nine lives on several occasions in the past. That doesn't stop him, though -- he is insatiably nosy and curious and unconcerned with his personal safety when it comes to learning things about stuff. He likes to have his toe-beans in everyone's metaphorical pie.
Challenge: The stars are NOT in your favor!
