Weyona
Weyona is a lean, red-furred puma who once served the Hateful Hermit. The Hermit kept the puma through abuse and called it “Cat”. After the Hermit’s defeat, the puma joined Lizzy. Lizzy first called the puma Spot, and it has been named Weyona since Session-18.
Weyona speaks Sylvan, so Lizzy can talk with the puma through Speak with Animals.
History with the Party
-
Session-17 The puma growled down at Lizzy and Djacques from a bough of the Hermit’s oak. Lizzy offered jerky and told it, “You don’t have to fight for someone who’s hurt you.” When the Hermit attacked, the puma fought on his side. It pounced on Kairos and mauled her before the Hermit whipped her unconscious.
When the Hermit fled, Lizzy told the puma its master was abandoning it and gave it one last chance to stop. It lay down in surrender. Later it bolted into the trees, and Lizzy chased after it, slipped off a branch and crashed to the ground. The puma waited for her anyway and offered her a ride back to the others.
Asked its name, it said the Hermit had called it Cat, and it hated that. Lizzy suggested “Spot” for now, and the puma accepted with a low growl. It refused the Hermit’s corpse, but pointed Lizzy to a deep claw wound on his left leg. The puma had tried to kill him. It also confirmed that the party had found everything the Hermit owned: “He owned little. He cared for even less.”
Spot kept an uneasy peace with Noor, who had also suffered in the Hermit’s care.
