Sir Grumbles the Exotic Shorthair Polished His Armor and Frowned Beautifully
Sir Grumbles has polished his armor, and he is not happy about it. A grey Exotic Shorthair cat glowers out with big yellow-green eyes, his flat, round face wearing the famous frown of his breed. His silver armor is engraved with delicate patterns, each plate gleaming in the soft light, and a dark green velvet cloak edged with gold leaves hangs from his shoulder. Behind him, damask walls and carved dark wood give the portrait a quiet, formal air. He has never looked more serious.
Exotic Shorthairs are often called the lazy person's Persian, with the same round face and gentle nature but a shorter coat that is easier to maintain. They are calm, affectionate, and fond of lounging. Their flat faces can lead to tear staining and sometimes breathing sensitivities, so a damp cloth for the eyes and a cool room help. Weekly brushing keeps the plush coat tidy. Gentle play and a steady routine suit them well, and your vet can help with any questions about eyes, breathing, or weight.
That scowl is likely just the shape of his face, since beneath the armor there is probably a very soft heart. The knight guards the castle with great seriousness, though he would be happy to be asked to guard a sofa cushion instead. His shining armor is ready for any quest that begins after a nap.
