Phanuel was a victim of the Great Clone Apocalypse of January 2023, when one curly boi messed up with cat generation
Originally a lost not-kitten given by Nestor, Phanuel was adopted by Viridios, Aloysius and Nebulus who were expecting beans, and were littermate with Zero and Nemo's litter. However, the Great Clone Apocalypse rollbakc and restoration could not keep track of these relationships and lost not-kittens were forced to age to adulthood.
They still have the feeling that in a past that may not have existed, they were littermate with Meredith, Xanthe and Judicael, and were adopted by the Shield Wardens. None of them remember so, and Meredith, Xanthe and Judi are very much younger than they are.
Phanuel is confused, and, in result, have anxiety problems. They often need to scream in the void in frustration.
