Felinomancer ("Crazy Cat Lady")

You are a Felinomancer — someone who channels the chaotic, elegant, and curious nature of cats. You collect cats, trinkets, and tales, and in doing so you gather strange little magics. You are eccentric, devoted, and frighteningly daring where feline affection is concerned. Whether you build a pride, a wandering band of alley cats, or become a city’s tabaxi advocate, you draw power from companionship and hoarded curiosities.
