Frozen Female Hatchling

It's plain to see that nekomata hatchlings are very cute, but they are also rather irritating. They find nothing more fun than tripping magi, ripping at scrolls, or stealing food. They attack anything that seems like prey - whether it be a fluttering piece of paper, or a magi's robes. It takes a depressingly long time for nekomata hatchlings to grow weary, and they fall asleep wherever they like. An open book seems like a perfect bed for them, or even a basket or seldom used cauldron. When asleep, young nekomatas transform into sweet creatures, all purrs and kneading. There is very little that can wake them from this state, and at this time nekomata hatchlings can be moved anywhere without being disturbed.
Though these felines look much like those found in any town, they are unique creatures. Nekomatas are highly intelligent, and don't seem to consider themselves companions. They come and go as they please, and seldom answer to commands. Despite their headstrong natures, they respond well to affection, and bond easily with their magi. On colder nights, nekomatas can be found curled up by a fireplace, or alongside their magi. These companions wander where they will. Should a building have a door or window open, it's likely a nekomata will enter, even if it's a villager's home. Nekomatas can be very stubborn if there is a certain place they want to go. They have no qualms against climbing, and are found on roofs and in trees more than on land. Their distinctive tails give them excellent balance, and they fearlessly prowl along the highest towers and cliffs. Falling is of little consequence to them, as they always land on their feet unharmed.
