Transformations

Purrcerins - or affectionately known as 'Purrcies' by mortals - begin their lives as faceless, formless wisp-like critters that drift about within their pocket of the Spirit Realm. They retain this form until the desires and/or wishes of mortals reach them. If the Purrcy resonates with these wishes and feels compelled enough, they will manifest a form at the ring of a bell. The form they take might relate to the desires, wishes, and personal affinities of their patron - otherwise known as their 'Chosen.'

By resonating with the wishes of their chosen mortal, they become bound to that mortal and take it upon themselves to bring their Chosen good fortune and luck in achieving their goals and desires.

Once bound to a mortal, they develop two forms. Their active form is called  Dou, and in this form only their Chosens and those they trust can see them.

Their second form is called  Zou, and serves as their dormant statuette form. Their Zou form also serves as their gateway between realms, meaning that when they leave this form behind in the Material Realm, they can freely roam about in the Spirit Realm in their active form.

When a Purrcerin is dormant, it takes the form of a small, porcelain statue (or Zou Form) that reflects its appearance, usually with one paw raised, but some have been known to display unique traits, like held items. Double items and glass bodies are the rarest forms they can take, and are hardly ever seen.

Items held vary from purrcy to purrcy, and the contents within glass bottle forms can contain anything so long as it relates to the purrcerin in question.

Over the years as Purrcerin spirits bonded with mortals, they have developed a knack for trickery and mischief. They developed the ability to take on a more human-like form to better blend in with their Chosens. These forms are far from perfect though, as their ears and tails are always visible! Still, the disguise makes for a very believable costume.

Of course, not all Purrcerins tend to gravitate towards a human-like disguise. More often than not, their 'Zou' form works just fine!
