Lest | Arcane

Lest is a female transgender cat-like humanoid with a clothing style inspired by a combination Romani dress and early 20th century western glamor, used to evoke a fortune teller archetype. She is easily identified by her large ears, puffy coat, and unique, gravelly voice, as well as digitigrade feet. Lest has Light Gray, Dark Brown hair with white tips, a few grey spots of fur on her body like freckles, Amber eyes with slit pupils and big, fluffy cat ears on her head. Lest wears a fortune-teller-like headcloth that covers her head and neck, but leaves her ears exposed, a black dress and various gold jewelery on her head with golden Lest is shown to be a versatile, intelligent, careful and adaptable woman. She primarily deals in illicit substances to the wealthy movers and shakers of Piltover, smoothly switching between different masks to survive and gain. Lest also works for some of Piltovers nobles and councilors as a masseur and body artist, where she uses herbs from Ionia to loosen tightened joints. Lest also smokes a lot, especially a purple-colored kind of tabacco that she smokes using a long, slender pipe. Lest sells information she gets from her clients and the councilors, using this kind of espionage and backstabbing to get by in Piltover. Lest suffers from a lot of bigotry due to her race as a Vastayan, and thus is rather held back and reserved, careful who to trust. Lest also feels bad for what she has done before, like giving people from Zaun information about the Piltover councils, which may have led to a recent successful assassination attempt. Despite her work, Lest is scared to be used as a pawn and discarded by people. Lest's vastayan ears also make her have incredible hearing skill.
