#and her mount which is a big leopard named snowdrop

[the-skooma-den]

So in the original story when syke was in her late 20s I had it so she specifically had never had a pet herself. Her brother has pets shes helped with and there mayve been a family pet at some point but she specifically has never had one. When I changed it to her being in her late 30s that just didn't feel right because she does really like animals, BUT I don't think pre base game she would go out of her way to get one because she was mentally not doing very well

So my solution is basically a stray cat adopts her. At first it's just on their property so no one minds cause it eats vermin, then it turns into "well,,,theres not many rats now because he's a good hunter. I'll pick up cat food on my way home"

And eventually its "well,,,its cold at night. Maybe I'll let him inside by the fire"

And so on and so forth until this giant, old, scarred up, mess of a tomcat is unambiguously hers and it follows her around and sleeps in her bed and she loves him very much

Except because of how they met and how long it took her to admit it was her cat, he only answers to "Cat", so that ends up just being his name
