--Shepherding and Busybody--
["Maybe you should go talk to her, let her know how you feel"]
-- If you think you know everything about someone and you feel you need to help make their lives better you are going to be a bit of a meddler. And that is Hestia in a nut-shell. She'll tell you what she thinks you should be doing and will do her best to make it happen. Whether you like it or not.

--Restless & Obsessive--
["I'm sorry but I just can't. I need to stay and make sure everyone is served and my owners get some rest"]
--Ever self-sacrificing and busy, Hestia cannot relax and just indulge herself. Even bathing is only undertaken for her owner's and clients benefit. Anyone who gets close will realize she really needs to tone it down and take a break before she runs her self into the ground. She might do if she thinks it'd make them happy... Until they turned their back.

Biography and Role Play History

Background Information

Hestia's life started like many others in the city. Born to two breeding tigers her life was a simple one but not without love. This particular breeding establishment was for pets, not fighters or guards. Beauty and manners were more important than brawn and fighting instincts. Having well rounded happy cubs was paramount to pleasing customers. And so Hestia and her siblings enjoyed time in the gardens with other cubs and with their mother, though like most breed cats her father was all but absent from her life but that didn't matter.

Hestia excelled when it came to the taming and human socializing she was required to undergo as a baby. She loved cuddles and making the humans grin with silly antics, she'd willing fetch whatever was asked of her and she quickly took to the basic commands she was taught. She thrived and grew into a happy chubby cub eager to please everyone and anyone. Which combined with her unique pelt are probably why she was the first of her siblings to be bought. While she missed her family for the first two days, having the full-time attention of two new humans to please far surpassed this with time. 

These new humans were newly wed couple Concordia and Evandrus Pax. The purchasing of their first cat together was the start of their new lives together and naming her Hestia, after the Greek goddess of the home, was the first step on their road to creating their dream home. Somewhere for everyone. Concordia was a caring and industrious woman who dreamed of pleasing others and upon falling for a chef it seems the most obvious path to doing this was via the creation of their own tavern. With a large wedding gift from their prospective parents, they were able to live this dream, commissioning a specially built building in which to start their endeavor. 

Through good food and contacts, the establishment, known as The Homestead, has grown leaps and bounds in its first two years of life, with little Hestia at the centra growing into the large thoughtful feline she is today. Her time is spent making sure the felines of her owner's clients are happy and well catered for within the tavern and outside of it. Shaped by her owners and surroundings into the perfect servant and pet she lives to please and will do her best to improve the lives of those around her, though she seems to believe this is best achieved by hoarding knowledge of her clients and influencing them into doing what she believes would best benefit them.
