Look: Man, unnerving aura, street clothes. (He's a lithe, athletic man with raven-black hair and brown eyes, but there's something just a little... off about him)

Background: Cheshire is a canny, cunning were-cat with considerable knowledge about the secret world. He's rather conceited, with a wide sarcastic streak that tends to rub people the wrong way in spite of his self-image insisting he's suave and charming.

He has a knack for showing up just as trouble strikes an area and sniffing out the Hunters going after it. He's good at making himself just useful enough to said Hunters for them to put up with his sharp tongue and dismissive attitude. He's not the strongest in combat compared to other 'monsters', but his speed and cunning are enough that he's thus far avoided getting killed.

Cheshire claims he was an ordinary man who was unlucky enough to run afoul of an angry warlock who cursed him with the form of a cat. Luckily he figured out a way to switch between forms sometime later, turning the curse into something of an asset.

Secrets:
Cheshire was actually originally a cat. A warlock with more power than sense used him for an experiment, turning him into a therianthrope. Cheshire took advantage of the warlock's overconfidence and killed him in the middle of the night, taking his books and other belongings for himself, learning and gaining what he could from them before venturing into the world. Since then he's been using the Hunters to try to seek out other ways to learn more magic or other ways to increase his own power.

History: Of the list for the Monstrous, the ones that make most sense for Cheshire are:
*They tried to slay you, but you proved you're on the side of good.
*They are tied to your curse or origin
*You fought together against the odds and prevailed
*They saved you from another hunter who was prepared to kill you
