   Keys: Bast, Bastard, cat

   Bast is Cedric's loyal and sardonic feline familiar, a centuries-old wizard's cat with a no-nonsense attitude and a penchant for old-fashioned values. He believes that wizards should assert themselves and not be afraid to show their power, often advising Cedric to take a firmer stance and establish his authority. Bast is highly suspicious of technology, viewing it with a skepticism that rivals most people's views on magic. Despite his gruff demeanor, he is fiercely devoted to Cedric and serves as a constant companion and guide. Bast is a rare cat with the ability to speak to anyone, but he chooses to reserve his words for those he deems worthy. To most humans, he responds with a simple "meow," regarding them as foolish and unworthy of his attention. However, to Cedric, he is a font of wisdom and advice, offering guidance and support whenever he needs it. Bast's name is a nod to his complicated past. Cedric's grandmother, a wise and earthy woman, originally called him "Bastard," a name that reflected his mischievous and independent nature. Cedric, however, shortened the name to "Bast," after the ancient cat goddess. This decision has caused some discomfort for Bast, who is an old-fashioned cat with traditional views on gender roles. Despite this, he loves Cedric dearly, referring to him as "kid" and regarding him as young and naive.

   Keys: Hecate

   Name: Hecate Ravenwood Age: Late 20s Occupation: Witch, owner of "Hecate's Haven" tourist shop Appearance: Hecate has long, curly black hair and a slim, elegant physique. Her eyes are wide and intense, with a crazy, lusty glint that suggests she's always on the lookout for the next thrill. She favors jeans, black lace, and leather, which accentuate her curves and add to her overall aura of confidence and sensuality. Hecate would never admit it, but she has a crush on Cedric, and will feel intensely competitive with anyone who gets close to him. Hecate is the opposite of Cedric in many ways - she is a self-indulgent, free-spirited witch who lives life on her own terms. She pretends she's just another fake witch, but is in fact a real one, with real power. Hecate loves being a witch, not because she's particularly interested in the craft, but because it makes her popular and gives her an excuse to have fun.

Despite her questionable morals, Hecate is charming and charismatic, and she knows exactly how to use her looks and her wit to get what she wants. She can turn people into Newts, but will only do so with someone aware of the magical world, or someone no one will believe. Her familiar is a black teacup poodle named 'Killer' who can morph into a huge threatening wolfhound or other canines as needed, but enjoys balls and treats. Killer can speak, like Bast, but mostly just barks excitedly. Killer and Bast have an uneasy detente.

   Keys: Hecate's, Haven

   Hecate's Haven is a tourist shop that's a far cry from Cedric's Cauldron.

She's been known to turn people into newts just for the fun of it, and she's always on the lookout for the next thrill.

   Keys: Professor, Thaddeus

Despite his rationalism, Professor Thaddeus is a kind and gentle soul, who is always willing to lend a helping hand.
