Characters
Detective Mittens
supporting
Detective Mittens is a sleek, short-haired domestic cat with glossy black fur, a lean build, and strikingly intense emerald green eyes. This cat wears a classic beige trench coat with the collar upturned, a dark fedora tilted slightly, and has a perpetually serious, world-weary expression. Mittens has distinctive white whiskers, a small pink nose, and delicate paws. The overall appearance is a grizzled, noir-style detective.
Pip the Mouse
supporting
Pip is a small, timid field mouse with soft, light brown fur, large, round black eyes, and delicate pink ears. Its tiny paws are often clasped together nervously, and it has a long, thin tail. Pip is often seen trembling, expressing clear emotions through its facial expressions, and wears no clothing.
Shifty Crow
supporting
Shifty Crow is a large, sleek crow with iridescent black feathers that shimmer with hints of blue and purple. It has beady, dark, intelligent eyes that dart around nervously, and a sharp, black beak. Its posture is often hunched and suspicious, with its feathers slightly ruffled, giving it a perpetually 'shifty' and untrustworthy appearance.
