Character Bio/Description

Name: Leon de Coeur (“Lee”)

Age: Looks around 30ish

Species: Anthrofeline

Gender: Male

Hair colour: Dark Blonde

Fur Colour: Yellow, with “tiger” stripes

Eye Colour: Blue

Height: 5’10”

Appearance: Somewhat wiry build, wears glasses that stay put somehow in spite of having no apparent side pieces. Always wears blue jeans, and usually a loose-fitting zip fronted shirt. May or may not wear shoes, according to his mood – his foot-paws are as tough as shoe leather, and he normally goes barefoot by preference.

Lee’s ears and tail are often highly expressive, even (or especially) when he is not showing his feelings in his face. His tail tends to wave back and forth slowly at the tip when he’s thinking hard, or trying to remember something.

Abilities and skills: Lee is something of an artist, and can usually be found wandering around with a sketchbook, or his digital camera, or both.

He speaks several languages (although he is not equally fluent in all of them), the result of growing up in a town where people from a number of different worlds would sometimes come together, whether for trade, or tourism, or any of a number of other purposes.

A magical strain in his family bloodline has given him the ability to sense the presence of magic, to a limited extent. This same “warning sense” allows him to instinctively detect if a drink or food would be harmful to him, for example if it were poisoned, or drugged, or merely contained something that would cause a harmful allergic reaction (although he would not be able to tell which it was), merely by picking it up. He often refers to this as “feline intuition”, a possibly inaccurate term (not that he cares!).

History: Lee grew up on a world inhabited by “furry” people, mostly of the feline persuasion. Being covered with fur, there is little or no nudity taboo, and people there can often be seen going about their business in little or no clothing, especially during the (very hot) summer months.

Lee has hinted that he is, or might be, related to various famous fictional cats. Whether this is true, or merely a reflection of his sense of humour, is open to speculation.

Relatives mentioned so far:

  • Uncle Whittington
  • Uncle Carabas (whose grandmother was the original inspiration for “Puss in Boots”)
  • Aunt Rhiow (a midwife by trade, has all-black fur.)
