Biography
Bonjour! I'm Zosime Lenoir. I've got a story to tell you. My mother Toutebelle was the daughter of a widowed king. One day, he went on a journey to consult the fairy Tamponne. (No, I'm not kidding - that's the fairy's name.) The fairy had a grudge against the king, but he gave her a present to please her, and she gave him a black cat named Minet to bring to Toutebelle. Toutebelle later received the cat and noticed that it came with a portrait of Prince Zinzolin, the fairy's son. The cat then took Toutebelle on a journey to a plain, ornery dwelling, but all Toutebelle wanted to know about was Zinzolin. One day, Toutebelle asked to see Zinzolin. She was given a peasant's disguise. She met Zinzolin and tried to win him over, but Zinzolin seemed to not love her back. This broke her heart.

Toutebelle later learned that Minet was an unfortunate cat, who had lost a loved one of her own species. Toutebelle then declared that she would remain in the cottage and dwell with Zinzolin. At that moment, the cat disappeared, and Zinzolin appeared before her. As it turned out, Minet had really been Zinzolin in disguise. He

Well, all's well that ends well. My parents are quite happy together, living in my grandmother's palace. The king has ended his feud with Tamponne - in fact, the two of them have fallen in love and gotten married! I have an older brother named Zenas and an older sister named Zoraide. There's plenty of cats here to keep us company, since our family is fond of cats - especially black cats.

I am learning the ways of the cats. Being around lots of black cats is pretty fun, since they're so unfortunate and fond of torment. I spend much of my time with the black cats, learning how to pounce on rats and cross people's paths. But of course my story doesn't involve that. I think I'd rather have the thrill of causing bad luck. After all, black cats are trolls. They're masters of bad luck - just wait until Friday the 13th.
