(Long) Oreo Teriyaki grew up in a floating harbor market known for glowing lanterns, sweet desserts, and magical street food. As a kitten, they lived near a tiny taiyaki stand run by an elderly baker who believed food carried memories. Unlike most cats, Oreo was born with strange cream-like markings that never melted in rain or heat. Small blue stars would sometimes appear in their fur whenever they felt strong emotions. The other kittens thought it was weird… but the baker called it a blessing from the “Moon Kitchen,” an old legend about spirits who protected wandering souls. Oreo spent their days helping at the stall—carrying ingredients, greeting customers, and sneaking bits of pastry filling when nobody looked. They loved making others smile, even if they often hid their own worries behind jokes and playful expressions. But one winter festival night, something went wrong. A fire spread through the market after enchanted lanterns crashed during a storm. Panic erupted across the harbor. While everyone fled, Oreo rushed back into the smoke to help trapped kittens and rescue the baker’s recipe journal—the only thing left from his family. The smoke permanently stained parts of Oreo’s cream fur darker than before, but the blue stars in their coat began glowing brighter afterward. Ever since then, Oreo Teriyaki has traveled from town to town carrying the rebuilt recipe journal tied safely in their scarf. They cook for strangers, help lost travelers, and leave tiny paper stars wherever they go. Many believe meeting Oreo before a difficult journey brings good luck. Others say the scent of warm pastries follows them even when there’s no bakery nearby. ╚═════════════════════════════════╝
