When possessed by the familiar spirit, she can use various black arts and is extremely dangerous, but has an extreme dislike of water. |

If she's doused in water, the familiar spirit leaves, and she becomes a normal phantom cat. |

When this happens, she'll become more feral and resort to more physical means such as biting and clawing, but she still hates water. |

If you douse her again, her actions will become weaker. |

She's capable of human speech, and uses various mystic arts when possessed that make her appear quite capable, but in reality she possesses the intellect of a human child about the age she appears. |

Ghost cats are very nimble, and they're also quite strong. |

If she faced you seriously in a fight, even running away would be difficult. |
|

However, she has many weaknesses. |
|

For example, she hates water. |

She won't go out if it's raining, and if you run out to the middle of a river, she probably wouldn't follow you. |
|

She's also weak against catnip. |
|

If you sprinkle some dried catnip around, she'll quickly lose all interest in fighting. |

It's probably best to keep some dried catnip with you if you have to walk down animal trails. |
|
ใใฎๅฆๆชใไฝฟใๅฆ่กใฏใ้ใใใใชใใญใผใชๅใใง่ฆใ่ ใๆใใ่กใงใใใ |
The types of magic she uses focus on using speed and tricky movements to confuse her opponents. |
|

For example, if you think you see her dash off to the left, she'll attack from the right. |

This is a technique that relies on speed and precision of movement, so it's very similar to sleight of hand(*3). |

1: Shikigami aren't a particular class of youkai, but is more like a status condition. When this condition is in effect, we write that here as being "possessed". |
|

2: It's unknown whether she has paws. |

3: When she starts moving to the left, and then returns to the right at high speed, she moves so quickly humans lose sight of her, which makes it appear to be instant teleportation. |
