Cara Shadowpaw (Car-a shadow-paw)
A part-time smuggler and sailor for The Emerald Claws, Cara Shadowpaw is a mysterious and cunning Tabaxi traveler with sleek black fur and piercing yellow eyes. Cara has traveled far and wide, capturing exotic creatures from across Ebresia to sell (usually illegally). Her shop, The Purrfect Menagerie, is dimly lit, with cages of various sizes housing fantastical beasts. Cara is always accompanied by her loyal black panther companion, Shadow, who silently prowls around the shop.

Apparel & Accessories
Cara wears the airy and loose clothing of her homeland, northern Itoya. Her outfit doesn't usually agree with the cold temperatures of the Montane Flat and Ruthoria, which she complains about to anyone who will listen. She has The Emerald Claws caw tattoo in green ink on her right shoulder, which is usually invisible under her fur.
Mental characteristics
Intellectual Characteristics
Cara is shrewd and street-smart, always looking for the next big catch.
Morality & Philosophy
Cara speaks in a low, gravelly voice and has a knack for negotiation. Her shady reputation precedes her, and she is known to have a network of informants who provide her with valuable tips on rare creatures. While she may seem cold and calculating, Cara has a soft spot for her animal companions and ensures their well-being. When customers enter "The Purrfect Menagerie," Cara eyes them cautiously before revealing her wares. She speaks in riddles and half-truths, carefully guarding her secrets. Some customers may need to prove their worth or complete a task for her to earn her trust and gain access to the rarest creatures. However, crossing her or attempting to steal from her shop is ill-advised, as Caras's panther companion, Shadow, is always ready to pounce on intruders.
Social
Hobbies & Pets
Cara has a pet black panther named Shadow who has a nasty reputation for prowling the streets of the northern Banka district in Mantlemine in the dead of night, which the guards usually ignore out of fear of The Crimson Knives.
