Hello and welcome to the character log for "Burnt Out Ends of Smoky Days Special Edition." :-)
At first I wasn't going to put them in any order but then I realized that it was easier to put them in order of appearance. I have only made bios for the characters that are actually featured in the story. Characters that are spoken of but do not play a part (i.e. Growltiger and Griddlebone) I have left out.
Just as a reminder I do NOT own any of these characters save for Samprona! :-)
And now please enjoy this special feature. ;-)
"Burnt Out Ends of Smoky Days"
Character Log
(in order of appearance)
The Rum Tum Tugger;
Tugger plays a minor role in this story. He is definitely a queen's tom. Wherever he goes the queens fall in dead faints at his feet. Bombalurina is constantly fawning all over him but he doesn't mind. ;-) He doesn't enjoy fighting (it messes up his mane) but he will if the situation calls for it. He will never admit that he cares for anyone other than himself but in truth he does care for everyone in the tribe and doesn't want them to get hurt.
=^.".^=
Bombalurina;
Another minor role. She can often be seen flirting with the Rum Tum Tugger or some other tom in the tribe. She likes to think that she has them wrapped around her fingers most especially the curious cat. She sees HIM as her own private property and is not willing to share.
=^.".^=
Jennyanydots and Jellyorum;
Regretfully these wonderful queens were only mentioned a couple times in the story. They are the mothering queens of the tribe. The ones who would be called upon to babysit the kittens, resolve fights, bandage skinned knees, and kiss cuts and bruises to make them all better.
=^.".^=
Mistoffelees;
He's quiet, he's small, he's black, etc, etc, etc.
He's a young adult. As mentioned in his song he is rather shy. He doesn't say much if anything at all. Most of the jellicles have only ever heard him say the word "presto" when he's performing his magic. He is the tribe's best dancer. His below average size makes him quick and agile which comes in handy when fighting. However he prefers staying away from danger and using his magical powers to protect himself. He is afraid of Macavity but he would face that fear if he had to. One of his favorite pastimes is entertaining his fellow jellicles. He can also be very charming though he's usually too shy to show it.
=^.".^=
Munkustrap;
Our favorite gray tabby plays a larger role in this story. He is, as usual, the main protector of the tribe as well as the second in command of Old Deuteronomy. He is not hostile toward non-jellicles unless they do something to make him suspicious. Once he gets an idea in his head it usually stays there whether or not he pays any attention to it. He is a strong leader but is also humble when he needs to be. He thinks that in order to be worthy of his post he must hide all of his personal feelings and concentrate on protecting the tribe. He is deeply in love with Demeter and enjoys being with her more than anything. I like to think that he was once an active theatre cat like Gus (he did after all put on a play for Old Deuteronomy at the Jellicle Ball. . .he tried to at least), but the responsibility of being the protector has taken up most of his time and he can't do much in the drama department anymore. He does however still remember a thing or two from the works of the human bard William Shakespeare. :-)
=^.".^=
Alonzo;
The third in command, he likes to act as another protector of the tribe. He plays a minor role in this story. He's still learning about being a leader and mostly follows what Munkustrap do.
=^.".^=
Skimbleshanks;
A really minor role in this story which is a shame because he is such a brilliant character. He also possesses a protective character. He's serious about keeping Macavity away. He is very level headed and wants what is best for the tribe.
=^.".^=
The Pollicle;
Your typical dog. I imagined him as a tan Labrador retriever not fully grown and still with that puppy energy and spunk.
=^.".^=
Samprona;
A pretty young queen. She was raised by criminals and taught to be one herself. She is actually a brilliant con when she wants to be but in this story what she really wants is to become an honest queen. She was hardened a little bit in her rough life but is mostly a sensitive soul. She loved both of her parents and felt betrayed to find out her mother had been unfaithful to her father. She was very afraid of Macavity but in the end she learns that she does not need to be. She liked Admetus from the start because he was so kind to her. She was happy when she discovered that he loved her and that she loved him too. She has quite an imagination at times. She very much enjoys nature.
=^.".^=
Old Deuteronomy;
He is the father-like tom of the tribe. He is the well known and respected leader. He wants the jellicles to get along with each other and other cats. He is also a bit of an optimist. He always thinks the best of every cat he meets even if they aren't as good as he thinks they are. He believe in peace, kindness and honesty.
=^.".^=
Admetus;
Admetus is an adult in this story. For him it was love at first sight when he met Samprona. He's not and never was that great with queens but he tries his best. He is very caring and sincere but also extremely protective. He will not hesitate to jump into action should someone bother someone he loves. He is a very good fighter. He sometimes has a hard time controlling his temper but only on very rare occasions. But all in all he is a very nice tom.
=^.".^=
The Girl;
A very minor roll. I imagined her as a young girl maybe seven or eight years old. Blonde braids, blue eyes, freckles, her two front teeth missing, your classic story book child. She loves animals especially cats. She also has a very active imagination. She's the kind of girl who would go to the zoo and name all of the animals she sees.
=^.".^=
The Man;
Another minor roll. Looks-wise I saw him as a tall man in a hat and overcoat with a nice smile. He loves his daughter and enjoys going on walks with her. He loves that she is so imaginative and thinks it's a thing to be encouraged.
=^.".^=
Rumpleteazer;
She is a young adult who loves getting into mischief. She and her mate Mungojerrie are the kind of cats you'd never want to turn your back on for fear of becoming a victim of one of their pranks. She's not very aggressive with her jokes however. Her style is very subtle though exceptionally annoying. With her you never know what hit you till it's too late. She enjoys things like the black eye telescope, gum that turns your mouth blue or a flower that shoots water. She is the kind of cat who would put a sign on someone's back that says "kick me." Your usual prankster. She's very adamant. When she says something she will stand by it even if it's wrong. She also very quick to blame someone else. However she is not all bad. She just enjoys letting her mischievous side show.
=^.".^=
Mungojerrie;
Like his mate Rumpleteazer he is a very mischievous tom. Unlike his mate Rumpleteazer his pranks are usually on the rougher side. While Teazer likes to plant a whoopie cushion on a chair and wait for someone, anyone, to sit on it, Mungojerrie would rather trip someone, or tackle someone from behind. He's the kind who would jump out at you and say boo or dig and cover a hole for someone to fall into. He is also very protective of Rumpleteazer and hates it when someone crosses her. He is always looking for opportunities to pick a fight with another tom. He is a rough prankster who is likely to lose control of his temper but he's usually nice. Just don't rub him the wrong way!
=^.".^=
Demeter;
She is a very pretty adult queen. She has always been mature for her age even when she was a kitten. But she also feels very insecure and likes to have someone she can trust to take care of her. She's always feared and hated Macavity but she has a strong will and refuses to let him know she's afraid. She loves Munkustrap very much and feels lucky that he loves her too.
Jemima;
She is a very young adult who is still considered by most to be a kitten. I made her Demeter's younger cousin for this story because I thought it'd be cute. Jemima looks up to Demeter like a big sister. She has a very active imagination and is a helpless romantic. She is the kind of queen who believes in fairy tales, knights in shining armor, true love and happily ever after. I think that she's always inwardly fancied Mistoffelees. . .she just didn't realize it until she learned he fancied her as well. She's a very sweet and creative young queen. With her wishes and dreams really do come true.
=^.".^=
Macavity;
Evil to the core is Macavity the mystery cat. I like to think that he met Griddlebone on a job one night and when she started coming on to him he went for it. He is only attracted to outward appearance however and when Griddlebone returned with her younger and prettier daughter he decided to get rid of her and move on to the younger super model. He is very suave and has a certain evilness about him. When you look at him you know immediately that you cannot trust him. His grin would send chills up your spine. He delights in being nasty. He is not as charming as he pretends to be. He is also rather over confidant. He thinks that nothing could possibly go wrong for him but whether or not he likes it the good guys always win.
=^.".^=
The Henchmen;
They all look the same. Big, black, long scruffy ungroomed fur. They are trained to fight and to follow orders. However they're also cowards who would not hesitate to run away with their tails between their legs to save they're hides.
=^.".^=
Victoria;
She can be a very girly queen sometimes. The kind who would giggle if the Rum Tum Tugger looks in her direction. Although now that she's going steady with Plato she'd be more likely to giggle if HE looked in her direction. She loves and looks up to her brother Mistoffelees and can't imagine ever being separated from him. She is a naive queen but definitely sweet.
=^.".^=
Plato;
An adult tom. He's a little older than Victoria but very much in love with her. He's also very protective of her. Though it's not exactly made clear in this story Plato sometimes gets jealous of Mistoffelees because Victoria looks up to him so much. He does understand that there's a strong brother sister love between them though and tries not to let it get to him.
=^.".^=
Asparagus;
I hate to admit that I only specifically mentioned him once in this story. He's an adult tom who certainly wants to protect the tribe like all of the others but he's a bit more willing to let Munkustrap deal with Macavity. He knows that Macavity is dangerous and not to be messed with. He is a sensible tom that considers all possibilities.
=^.".^=
