I have longer to please the dead than please the living here:
in the kingdom down below I'll lie forever. – Antigone, lines 88-90 (Fagles)
Description:
Ismene is a pure white La Perm cat with dark blue eyes, giving her very ghostly look.
She is a very odd cat, emotionally and physically. She is of medium size, although very
thin, slender, and tall for a she-cat. Her paws are small and dainty, but deadly in battle
with her ice white, knife-like claws. Her wispy curly coat --a natural characteristic of her
breed, is thick yet not fully as long as it should be. Her paw pads and nose, as well as
the inside of her ears, are a light pink, contrasting with her snowy fur. her tail is also
long and thin, giving her superb balance when it comes to climbing, sprinting, and
giving her that graceful look. She's also known for the odd way she speaks, rolling out
her S's with her strange unknown accent.
Personality & Beliefs:
Ismene is very unique... some call her autistic, others say she's demented, but no one
really knows. She claims she's not a bloodthirsty killer, yet she practices cannibalism
and is open to the idea of sacrificing others to her 'supreme ruler,' the Greek god, Hades.
She says the spirits speak to her --the voices in her head, telling her whats right and
wrong. She wouldn't listen if you told her that it was just her own thoughts inside of her
twisted mind. According to Ismene, it's better to be feared than loved. She thinks that
she's an ugly cat, unworthy of affection. She embraces her loneliness, for it's her only
true friend.

History:
Ismene's mother was a strong believer in Hades, as was her father. When their
firstborn arrived, the kit was given as a 'sacrifice' to Hades, a gift of thanks. Now
the litter of two, was a litter of one, Ismene was the last kit left. Her father left
shortly after the kitting, never to return. Since then, Ismene's mother raised her
alone, in a small den near the twolegplace. As Ismene grew, her mother began
to take less and less interest in her. -But that was normal, right? At seven moons,
the young she cat started to notice the difference between herself and her mother.
How come her mother's coat was soft and pretty, but her coat was coarse and
curly? At 14 moons, Ismene still lived with her mother, but you wouldn't know. As
Ismene now did all the hunting, she did all the tiding of the den, just for her mother
to return home and complain while she gorged on Ismene's freshly caught meals.
She'd had enough of this lifestyle! She wasn't meant to be some servant of her
mother! The day after she left, she's been living alone ever since.
