The Queen of Cats, also referred to as the Shadow Guardian, and Herald of the Moon moves, often unseen, in all walks of mortal and fey life. Her true form is that of a statuesque woman nearly 10 feet tall with the head of a black cat. She prefers to move about at night under the moon. Her wanderings take her to places where danger and unsuspecting people are likely to cross paths, and her curious nature often leads her in unexpected directions.

She carries the radiance and purity of moonlight into the dark, wielding it as a weapon as keen as her claws against her foes.

Protector in the Dark. Those who strike out in search of adventure learn quickly that the shadows and crevices of the world hide many dangers. Most people have no defense against the worst things that prowl the darkness, the things that slip into the world from the places beyond. The Queen of Cats and her followers stand in opposition to those dark influences. Through the ages, her midnight prowling in cat form, and subsequent battles with creatures from the outer darkness, have given rise to the folk tales of cats protecting their owners from evil spirits.

Diplomat and Spy. The Queen of Cats saunters through the world slipping from one stratum of society to another with grace and ease. Either as an unassuming black cat in back alleys or a woman of bearing regal enough to blend seamlessly in imperial courts, she finds forces of corruption and darkness wherever they lurk. Befitting her fluid mobility through nearly any population, she often carries word from deities or powerful beings tied to the moon. Rumor holds that she is a confidant, or possibly a lover, of the the Moonlit King. The Queen of Cats is one of the few creatures who can slip through the twisted mazes surrounding his home. If his worsening madness is any concern to her, she doesn't show it.
