Aru is a rather introverted not-cat and prefers to
tackle the village's issues through paperwork rather
than dealing with the not-cats directly. She gladly
leaves the social duties to Duman and does the heavy
lifting needed in running a village in the background.
When not buried under paper bark, she works as a
herbalist and apothecary.

Her relationship with Duman isn't one typically
associated with partnered cats. They live together and
decided to have beans together but both are more
married to their jobs and hobbies than each other.
Their time together is spent mostly in village-running
talk or companionable silence. They are each other's
confidants and sounding boards and they love to
cuddle. They are certainly close but they are not in
love with one another.

Being Duman's playmate throughout since they were
kittens, she developed similar skills to him. Agile and
clever, she also packs quite a punch. Unfortunately,
like her partner she has a weak constitution and tires
easily from physically demanding activities. She has
taken to carrying a herbal pouch around with her and
it helps significantly.
