She barely poses, can't stand on her own, and it extremely difficult to make clothing for due to her small chest and large hips.

The owner of a magical inn that hides away from the world and travels as it wills. She was originally born as a normal stray cat, and then was turned into a shamisen that became a tsukumogami - more properly a shami-chōrō. Because she's an innkeeper, she happens to know a lot of people, and though she tries not to get involved in their conflicts, she's always there to help.

You just probably don't want to go digging through the inn floors. She is still a predator, after all.

Eyes:

Alice's Collections 10mm Glass
