Editing Dirae: the Kindly Ones (section)

== Premise ==

''Dirae: the Kindly Ones'' is about, well, ''catgirls'', yes, but there's a little bit more to them. Cats in general have been regarded with no small degree of awe, and often have been believed to be aware of worlds other than this one. They're the guardians between this world and the one after it, or the one beside it. Cats are the guardians of boundaries, really, of the thresholds, the in-between places, and the catgirls are this, too.

There are the boundaries between life and death, this world and the Shadow, those Things Man Was Not Meant To Know, and so much more, and the catgirls watch over all of them. They preside over initiations, and they are monsters at the gates.

Yes. Monsters. Despite the typical association we have with catgirls as cheery little bundles of cute fluffiness (or just plain annoying things we need to spay before we get overpopulated), catgirls are nothing like this. They are notoriously vulnerable to their own desires, and they can quickly find themselves slipping into a spiral of indulgence which could only be matched by a degenerate vampire. They punish the great transgressions, but they have a habit of going just a little bit too far.

And they tend to just be just plain vicious in many situations. Even the nicest of the Kindly Ones can display a slight sadistic streak.

Let's face it: Cats are mean bastards, and catgirls are as well, to one extent or another.
