This is Drowned in Ink, aka Dii (pronouced Dee). Despite the eerie name he actually loves to have fun running around outside or loudly reacting to characters in his favorite novels. He can seem a bit shy or uninterested around people he's never met, but Dii is not to be underestimated! How did he get his name? Drowned in Ink is a strange name for any creature, but Dii says he doesn't mind it. he really only has the abbreviation for convenience according to himself. Truth is, Dii has no idea where he got the name, or where he came from at all for that matter. A scorching night still plays vividly in his dreams. Just a kitten, he woke up panting in the library not far from his home. He laid in a vast spill of inky black, while a librarian shook him. "Are you ok boy? You're practically drowned in ink." Apparently he wasn't connected to ink splatters on his back or antenna until that moment, but while reading an unfamiliar journal they just sort of burst out, spreading a lake of obsidian liquid with them, and robbing him of any past memories he once had. But, its all ok. Dii claims that happened a long time ago and is over it! Of course, anyone who sees how he tosses in bed could see the pain behind that cheery smile.
