---Basic information---

Snowshoe cat.

Very few cats know her actual age. If you ask her, all she will say is "I'm older than you'd think". They speculate she's in her late 30s or early 40s.

She's not very tall, but she's very muscled.

She works as the barmaid at the "Old Bull&Bush", a pub near the Thames owned by Mr Clark. There are other waitresses and barmaids/barmans, but she's the "main one".

Maybe Mr Clark is the official owner, but in practice she runs the pub as much as him. Lily's has a great hand with business and organisation, so they consider each other coworkers.

Lily's not married nor has a mate. Many pirates have tried proposing to her while they're drunk, but she has yet to show any kind of interest towards anyone.

---Backstory---

She was born in France, with the name Liliane LaRose. She prefers to be called Lily, though.

Lily was the oldest kitten of a family of tailors. She helped with the business, both sewing and managing the profits, ever since she was young.

Nonetheless, as the eldest, she knew she had to marry someone as soon as she grew. But Lily had always considered herself to be independent and, most importantly, she wanted to see the world.

That's why, when she became of age, she took all the money she had earned in secret and left her hometown.

During years she traveled around the country, but fortune never met her.

Many cats tried to take advantage of her because she was a single, young queen. Even though she had to steal or trick others to get by sometimes, she worked by herself until she got the money to get to a boat to England.

For the first months after she arrived, she had to continue doing what she did before with the added difficulty of the language barrier.

Thankfully, she met Mr Clark, who had just inherited his family pub: the old "Bull and Bush".

He helped her learn the language and gave her the job as a barmaid, but never asked anything in return.

In a similar way, she was the one who found Billy McCaw and brought it to the bar. Nowadays, the three of them consider each other family.

---Personality---

Most of the time she comes across as cold and quiet because when you have to deal with drunk pirates every night you aren't in the mood to be sweet.

Nonetheless, she wants cats to have a good time so, if she sees you in a bad mood, she will do anything in her hand to make your day better.

She's very intelligent and dextrous, which is something you can easily see when she remembers the orders of 20 different clients, manages the money and organises the bar counter all at the same time.

She despises confrontations, specially in the pub. Not only does it disturb the other clients, but it can ruin the furniture. If people start fighting, she isn't scared of getting in the way and using her own fists to stop impolite cats. Currently she doesn't need to even punch someone; her bare existence and the word of mouth is enough to intimidate people into staying quiet.

So you can say she has earned the respect of most cats.

She's a self proclaimed "Protector of the newcomers". Every time she sees a young cat looking scared or confused or a female being uncomfortable in the pub (is a mostly (male) pirates pubs after all) she will go full "old sister" mode.

As a matter of fact, when she first saw the elegant Griddlebone entering the pub next to the dirty and harsh Growltiger, she made sure to warn her about how pirates can be like and to be careful.

She has a soft spot for the Raffish Crew, and she will often give them free drinks.

On the other hand, she doesn't like Growltiger that much though Growltiger does like her (if the number of time he has tried to flirt with her is anything to go by)

---Miscellaneous info---

To this day she still enjoys sewing and creating clothing as a hobby.

Lily becomes the official bar owner when Mr Clark retires.

She keeps being friends with Griddlebone and the Raffish Crew when Growltiger dies.

Appearance:

•He’s a black, longhair oriental with spooky greyish-blue eyes.

•He’s super tall compared to other cats (being about 6’5” in a human AU) but he’s built like a beanpole. Meaning, he isn’t super strong but he’s incredibly fast and flexible.

•He’s pretty young! If he were human, I’d place him around 23-24??

——————————————

Backstory:

•Hermes was never too sure where he came from. All he knows is that he was found as a kitten on the banks of the Thames, lucky to even be alive.

•He was found by old Laetorius, an elderly tom who belonged to the local Postman & took it upon himself to be the messenger between the many tribes of cats, as a neutral figure between them all. He’s known by everyone as Old Laet the Messenger Cat.

•Feeling bad for this clearly shaken and half-alive kitten, Laetorius took him in to be an apprentice to him. Though, didn’t anticipate becoming so attached to the kid. They very much began to act like a father and son.

•The kitten couldn’t remember a thing about his real family or how he ended up in the Thames but he did remember his name after a little while, Hermes…ironic, huh. Laetorius always called it fate, it did seem like it.

•At first, Hermes was very stoic and guarded, a little hot-headed too, but as time went on, he began to open up, and by the end of his first year with Laetorius, he had become a much more open, confident and happier young tom.

•Now mentoring the young tom, Laetorius took Hermes along on errands with him, showing him the ropes. This went on for quite some time; Though, when old age resulted in him getting slower and eventually retiring, he passed the torch onto the mischievous lad.

•Laetorius was very much a serious, respectful postman-type figure- while Hermes’ approach is VERY different in his presentation. He acts much more like a trickster-y messenger rather than the local postman vibes of his mentor. While his dad is friends with Old Deuteronomy, Skimbleshanks, Gus and Jennyanydots; Hermes very much gets along with cats like Mungojerrie, Rumpleteazer, Rum Tum Tugger and has even seen being quite friendly with some of Macavity’s henchcats.

•He isn’t a Jellicle, nor is he a henchcat. He bounces between groups of cats, sometimes delivering messages, sometimes just wanting a little excitement.

•He’s absolutely the kind to complain about others to get on the good side of others. He’s very self-serving; being with the Jellicles going “Oh, I have to tolerate Macavity’s lot. They’re far too rough for my taste.” & then being with the henchcats the next day going “Oh, waaaay too uptight! They’re no fun over there~”. (He’s a little shit, I love him).

•Despite his love of being cheeky and mischievous, he remembers his lessons from Laetorius and is always respectful around the Jellicle leader, the protector and any of his elders.

——————————————

Personality:

•Hermes is a fun-loving, rebellious, wise-cracking, and mischievous trickster who likes to just be himself. He is quick to smile and laugh, often using humour to deflect any conflict.

•He’s also pretty selfless, strong-willed, independent. He is also friendly and willing to help strangers, especially if they are injured or lost. Despite being loud and charming when on the job, he knows when to quieten down and be respectful.

•He’s pretty chilled out, wise, partial to his fair amount of mischief but never oversteps (though he definitely gets on some nerves). He rarely gets angry, rather trying to laugh everything off but when angry he will use his scary height to his advantage; being silent and suuuper off putting. Those ghostly eyes really do come in handy sometimes.

•He’s really good at reading people, like reeeeeaaaaly good at reading people. If something’s off, he’ll know, it’s a rare occurrence for something to go unnoticed by him. He is highly aware of his surroundings, and it is very uncommon for anything to sneak past his keen eyes.

• Theme songs:

- Green Grass (Live in Fingringhoe Wick) by Cosmo Sheldrake: I just have a visual of him singing to himself in the early morning and I shjdjdjsjjs-

- The Devil Never Sleeps by Iron & Wine: Just- Hermes vibes, y’know??

- arrow by half•alive: Again, some good good vibes

-Scrawny by Wallows

•He has a light cockney accent, picked up from Laetorius’ EXTREMELY strong cockney accent.

•He has sticky fingers, if he sees a trinket he likes he will not hesitate to swipe it up.

•Fashion Sense: If he were in a human au, I feel he’d be one of those people who wears a different style every day. He’d be difficult to place; one day he’s wearing some super suave street fashion, and the next he’s wearing the ugliest pattered shirt you’ve ever seen. He’s a raffle!
