Gilda the Faery Cat

Gilda is a creature from the feywilds and is the familiar of Oris Arthwen.

History and background
Not much is known about Gilda before she answered Oris' call for a familiar. She has extensive knowledge, which she usually doesn't share, except through cryptic hints and rhymes.

Relationship with Oris
Gilda is Oris' familiar and rides along in Oris' backpack whenever an adventure is had. Gilda has acted as scout, adviser, and as Oris' arcane or holy focus upon occasion. Gilda also assists Oris in battle when Oris mis-casts spells and has delivered touch-based spells in combat. Outside of combat, Gilda provides snarky commentary and oftentimes coaxes Oris or others in the adventuring party to take actions that might have painful consequences.

Relationships with the rest of the party
Gilda interacts occasionally with other members of the party, though those interactions aren't always positive. In the Barrowdowns, Gilda was responsible for isolating Kang while the rest of the party opened a door to the Shadowfell. Kang didn't take it well.

The Court of Malice
When asked about the Court of Malice, Gilda recited an old poem:

Hinx, minx, the old witch winks,

The fat begins to fry,

Nobody at home but Jumping Joan,

Father, Mother, and I.

Stick, stock, stone dead,

Blind man can't see;

Every knave will have a slave,

You or I must be he

Defeat of Barbazaal
During the battle against Barbazaal in the Barrowdowns, it was Gilda who, of her own initiative, dealt the final blow against the creature. When he laid prone on the ground, Gilda appeared beside him and stated "the great hero who killed Barbazaal sends his greetings." She proceeded to claw out Barbazaal's flaming purple eyes, vanquishing the beast. As he died, the ghostly figure of Sigfreid the hero appeared next to Gilda, patted her ears, and stated in Sylvan, "I have held to my end of the bargain. So it is and it is done." Then he vanished.

When asked about the hero and the meaning of his words, Gilda wouldn't respond.

Tricks and pranks
Gilda has tricked the group into opening doors into the Shadowfell, and has acknowledged the existence of the Raven Queen.

Gilda was behind Oris' gender-swapping misadventure.
