Katie Forestor was a normal eleven-year-old girl. She had many friends and many interests. She loved going to the mall, eating sweets, collecting bugs and doing things with her friends Nate, Bear, Eddie, Alex, Lucy and many others. Katie was a popular girl at school for sure but her friend list doesn't end there.
Katie was an average girl for the most part but there was one big aspect of her life that was anything but ordinary and that was the Yokai Watch. A device that allowed her to see the unseen, the ghostly entities known as Yokai!
She obtained this device from Whisper, The Yokai Butler Extraordinaire (at least that's what he would tell you) who she unknowingly released from a crank machine's capsule in the woods. Meeting Whisper and eventually Jibanyan, who has become Baddinyan upon confronting the unruly Roughraff has changed her life forever. She became very popular with the Yokai, befriending almost every one she has confronted which has caused her to accumulate a very impressive collection of their medals and has also gone through multiple models as she currently owns the Yokai Watch U Model.
Katie was popular with the Yokai due to her sweet and generous nature. Many of her friends both human and Yokai consider her quite the humanitarian, she is the kind of person to even tolerate Manjimutt. This combined with her love of making friends has made her a Yokai befriending fiend. She has even made friends with powerful S Ranks like Shadow Venoct, a Yokai feared by many for his violent streak and tendency to banish people to the Shadow Realm who now takes refuge in Katie's closet, not wanting to leave his only friend's side.
It was an early, sunny morning in the quaint town of Springdale where Katie was sitting on her bed fiddling with her Yokai Medal Medallium, organizing the prized medals of her Yokai friends. Katie's hair was out and not in her stylish pony tail as she hummed a happy tune while placing the medal belonging to Cruncha with the other Brave tribe Yokai medal she owned. Being quite the neat freak, she wanted to organize her Yokai friends by their tribe. Katie's trusty butler and closest friend Whisper flew right into Katie's room carrying a tray with two slices of toast with eggs, a glass of orange juice and a small vase of fresh flowers for presentation. It was undoubtedly Katie's breakfast.
"I hate to distract you dear Katie but I have your breakfast for you, a growing girl such as yourself needs to eat a hearty breakfast every morning you know!" Whisper happily sang.
"Awww, thank you Whisper that is so sweet of you!" Katie praised her friend/butler and gave him a smile, causing Whisper to blush wildly. Katie's smile did things to Whisper, things he didn't quite understand but he liked how he felt when he saw her happy!
"Pfft, suck up!"
A voice piped in causing Whisper to give it's owner a very disgruntled look. It was Baddinyan, the little feline punk loved to get Whisper's goat and he never failed to. Baddinyan laid in the center of Katie's room munching messily on a chocobar, causing crumbs to get all over Katie's bedroom floor. Whisper placed Katie's Breakfast on the dresser adjacent to her bed and angrily flew to Baddinyan.
"I am simply trying to be a good friend unlike you. "I mean, look at yourself your making Katie's floor all messy and really Baddinyan, chocolate for breakfast? That's not very healthy!" Whisper yelled at Baddinyan, getting closer to his smug face.
"I'm a bad dude with a bad tude old man, doing things that are bad for me is just part of the deal marshmallow butt!" Baddinyan said as he crumbled the chocobar wrapper and dropped it on the floor.
"WAS IT REALLY NECESSARY TO INSULT ME TWICE IN THE SAME SENTENCE!?" Whisper yelled from the top of his lungs, completely losing his patience with Baddinyan.
Katie huffed as she put down her breakfast and got up from her bed. She walked up to the purple cat Yokai and gave him a pouty look.
"Come on Baddinyan, it's too early to get Whisper so riled up and do you really need to get my nice floor all dirty?" Katie said with her hands placed on her hips.
"Ayyy, don't worry sweet cheeks Whisper can pick up the mess. He is the butler right?"
"I'm Katie's butler not your's!" Whisper huffed with a visible stress mark on his forehead. "Besides, Katie is the most clean human I've ever met and even when she does make messes she usually cleans up after herself before I have a chance too, If anyone is gonna clean this mess it's you!" Whisper said as he pointed dramatically at Baddinyan.
"Nyeah right, like that's gonna happen!" Baddinyan said as he picked his nose.
Whisper was just about to blow another gasket until Katie placed her hand on his shoulder and pulled him close to her.
"Watch this." Katie whispered into Whisper's non-existent ear. Katie cupped her hands to covered her face and turned around making sobbing noises, instantly getting Baddinyan's attention. The room went dim as a spotlight appeared over Katie.
"I c-c-can't believe you Baddinyan. W-w-w-why are you being so mean, do you hate m-me or something!?" Katie said as she sobbed in a very realistic manner.
"NYA!?" Baddinyan jumped at Katie's words.
"You do hate me do you? Making my floor all dirty, it's like your throwing litter on my heart. Is that what I am to you, just some big, ugly garbage can!?" Katie dramatically turned towards Baddinyan with real tears in her eyes.
"N-N-No it's nyot like that mama, honest!" Baddinyan wildly waved his arms in the air.
"L-l-l-l-look, I'm cleaning up my mess see? Don't cry, nyour heart isn't a garbage can I swear!" Baddinyan picked up his wrapper and crumbs in a small trash bag in a panic trying to make Katie feel better.
Whisper tried to hold back his laughter as he saw Baddinyan have a mini-panic attack. Baddinyan might be "bad" but he loved Katie, she was his one true friend, the first one since he lost his owner Amy. He would do anything for her and Katie knew that all too well, faking to be hurt in order to appeal to Baddinyan's soft side.
"Great work Katie, you really out to think about having a career in being an actor!" Whisper nudged Katie's shoulder.
"Hehe, thanks Whisper!" Katie chuckled.
Katie went over to her breakfast tray to finish her orange juice and grabbed a scrunchie from her dresser. Whisper then floated over to her.
"Oh allow me to do your hair Katie!" Whisper said jumping to the chance to doing something nice for Katie. Katie smiled as she gave the scrunchie to Whisper. She closed her medallium and picked it up while Whisper did her hair.
"And presto, I am a master stylist I know!" Whisper said deepening his voice is a posh manner, making Katie giggle.
She ran to her door with her medallium in hand but stopped in her tracks as if she was forgetting something. She walked backed and looked around her room.
"Where's my backpack?" Katie questioned. Her closet opened in response to her words. Shadow Venoct barely came out of the darkness of her closet to present Katie's backpack. Katie hopped over to Shadow Venoct and grabbed her backpack.
"Thanks Shadow Venoct!" Katie cheerfully thanked her shadowy recluse of a friend as she ran out of her bedroom door.
"Katie, wait for your beloved butler!" Whisper yelled as he hastily flew after his dear friend. Baddinyan however was in no hurry as he jumped onto Katie's bed to take his first of many catnaps.
Katie road her bike all the way to Springdale Elementary. It was 7:27 AM. Just three minutes before the bell rang and Katie made it there in record time. She stopped her bike to a screeching halt after reaching mach speed riding to her school. Whisper was sweating profusely despite having the luxury of flying, trying to keep up with Katie.
*huff* *puff* "K-Katie, I know you were in a hurry but *wheeze* did you really need to try and break the sound barrier trying to get to school? Your not even sweating!" Whisper said trying to wipe the sweat from his forehead with a small towel.
"Haha yeah, all those leg exercises with Burly really paid off!" Katie said as she stretched her legs, trying to get the kink out of them from riding her bike as fast as she did. Her stretches was a good way to pass the time until the bell rung. Katie grabbed her backpack and walked up to the entrance of the school, excited to start another day.
"OUTTA MY WAY!"
Katie was pushed aside very rough-like by a child causing her to let out a light cry. She placed her hand on her shoulder as she winced. Looking back at the kid running towards the entrance. Both Katie and Whisper were flabbergasted but more angry then anything.
"Um wow, rude much!?" Katie yelled at the kid that pushed her.
"Indeed, but let's not let one rotten apple ruin our day now shall we?" Whisper said in a optimistic tune. Katie nodded and regained her posture, not knowing exactly what she was in for.
