BASTET
AKA: BAST
Description: Queen of Cats, with a feline grace,
Bastet is a Goddess of prophecy — though she’s no pawn
or puppet of Fate. Cat-headed, with skin the color of
chocolate, covered with fine fur, Bastet has green eyes
with vertical slits common to cats. What her chosen
animals see, she also sees. Thoth made her keeper of
his Book, a magical work that controls such powerful
forces as time-space and life-death-rebirth, so that he
could not undo the universe accidentally. Using it,
Bastet keeps mortals in realms of mortal time. Her
Scions help to keep such secrets from mortal, divinity
and Titan alike.
In the modern day, Bastet appears as a slender
woman with rounded hips and a graceful manner. She
has been a belly dancer and the madam of a brothel, the
hostess of salons and a spy in Paris. She even took on a
role as a geisha in Japan, as part of a special exchange
program among Gods many years ago. Of the Pesedjet,
she is most open to new experiences.
Her Scions are motivated to explore and interact with
novelty. They usually begin with cautious observation
before delving in deeply to their subject, as if it were
an academic exercise. Once convinced that it is not
dangerous, they leap in completely. It is at this point
that they usually remember what killed the cat.
