## The Cheshire Cat ### The Cheshire Cat is an ancient archfey from a time before history, a spirit who guides travelers through the Twisted Woods. Taking the form of a large cat with piercing yellow eyes, a dark blue and purple body, and a large white grin with many teeth. They have powers of teleportation, illusion, vaporization, and the ability to guide people through the insanity of Wonderland. They act as a beacon in the fallen kingdom of the dearly departed Queen of Spades. Though many other inhabitants live there, the Twisted Woods is their domain. Warlocks of the Cheshire Cat are often affected by the time that they have spent in Wonderland, having nervous ticks and spells that compliment insanity. Those who make a deal with the Cheshire Cat often have cat eyes, patches of fur, mist in their hair, or stripes on their skin. They are often people who are tricky, but care about the wellbeing of others, being a guiding force for the Cheshire Cat. ### Expanded Spell List The Cheshire Cat lets you choose from an expanded list of spells when you learn a warlock spell.
