The Old Improbable Island Wiki

Born Candice “Catspaw” Carlisle, she was dubbed catspaw by the midwife who ripped her out of her fishwife of a mothers belly. Named for the portwine stain style birthmark in the shape of a cats paw over her left eye the little girl grew up answering to Cattypaws or Kittypaws or Catspaw more readily than Candice or Candy.

Raised by a fisherman and his fishwife, Catspaw knows all about fishing, cleaning fish, fish selling, fish cooking, and of course eating fish. Her first word was Halibut. Her second word was inmabelly! She has carried this love of fishes to the island, which is fortunate because.. it's.. an island.

Raised in the UK Catspaw had a very very thick scotch irish accent. Years aboard a pirate ship didn't help at all. AT ALL. but she did try to hide it while a rookie and even during her second drive kill. Her third drive kill or so she just sort of gave up trying to hide her roots.

Catspaw claimed to be a pirate during her first drive kill. That time as a rookie it was important to her to establish herself as the person she'd always wanted to be on this island of super cool powerful neat people. The truth of the matter is that from the age of 13 or so till she got shat out onto the island, she WAS on a pirate Ship. Working even. So that totally DOES make her a pirate.

Catspaw works currently as a Bard on the Jackelope. She can play the Concertina, the Fiddle, the viola, the violin, the flute, the ocarina (who bloody can't) she can sing, and she does a passable jig. she can't swash or buckle but she can swab if need be and she doesn't hurl or get seasick. So all in all, she's a decently half arsed pirate.

Catspaw is currently a housecat. She has the main body head and tail of a housecat, including hind legs and hind paws. Her front legs are joined more like human arms though at first glance they look like a normal felines, She has a little apposable thumb on her front kitty paws, which technically makes her a “Boston Cat” though she's never been to Boston. She's calico patterned and for now, this drive kill any ways, her pattern is remaining static.
