lore:"Kitt"

Kitt Kanto is a leonin woman and Cabaretti crooner in New Capenna.[1] She is the best singer in town.

Description[ | ]

Kitt wears a sequined gown with thick, feathered cuffs and collar. Her voice is lyrical, almost song-like.[2] She was once a small-time subway busker in the Caldaia until she was noticed by Jetmir and offered a job. After surpassing expectations, she became the family's premiere act.[3]

There's magic in music and in Kitt's there's more than most. She can enrapture an entire room — or send them lunging at each other's throats. Whatever the rhythm, Kitt is always in control.[4]

History[ | ]

Most people in New Capenna have too many secrets to be fond of a songbird, but the Cabaretti aren't kidding when they say Kitt Kanto's the only one worth a listen. Who knew Jetmir would find the real "cat's meow" down in a subway stairwell, purring peppy jazz ditties for pennies? Now she's taking top-billing center-stage at the Cabaretti's main club every night. That's the real ritzy, rags-to-riches stuff that puts stars of hope into every kid's eyes. Everyone who wants to be someone hopes to be Kitt.

There are no spotlights in town that aren't searching for Kitt, and she glows in them. The glittering sequins might be makeup, or maybe even magic. She's keen on the druid verses that the Cabaretti preach and croons them like lyrics. Hearing it makes you feel like real gold. But be sure to leave some roses on the stage when the curtain closes. Piss her off, and you'll learn this kitten's got claws. That microphone of hers can cast some nasty spells that'll set you howling. Or maybe, she'll use them swing musician street smarts and just beat your face in.[5]
