Biography
Everyone knows the story of the Chinese Zodiac, although different variations of the tale. One of them being that God decided to hold a banquet to his closest animal friends. The rat, the Ox, the tiger, the rabbit, the dragon, the snake, the horse, the sheep, the monkey, the rooster, the dog, and the pig. All animals who have helped the land flourish and keep balance. As a reward, God announced to those who attended the banquet, would be placed upon the Zodiac in their arriving order. A grand reward that would make their species proud and looked upon in awe by man.
But what many did not know was the cat was also invited.
The cat was excited, and was very happy to be invited. Most of all, he was happy that his best friend the rat was invited as well. Gleefully saying they should race together. The rat agreed, but told the cat the banquet was changed to the day after tomorrow. The cat believing his friend's words decided to take a a cat nap. However, the rat lied and when the next day was upon them, the rat left to attend the banquet while the cat peacefully slept through the day, dreaming of attending such a marvelous event.
However, when the cat woke and discovered he had missed the banquet, his heart was crushed. The other animals laughed and shunned the cat for his silly error that cost him such a high rank in the world. Angry, he screamed at the rat for lying to him, swearing all of his kind would kill and eat rodent kind before trying to angrily lash out. But the dog intervened, barking and chasing the cat up a tower. The climbed so high, he was above the clouds and had no way of getting down. Trapped on top of the tower and broken hearted by the betrayal and utter humiliation, he meowed for help and cried.
But no one came, and he was left all alone to watch the land below. Watching as he was left out while all the other animals happily lived as part of the Zodiac.
Many years passed, and he cried and cried for help, but still no one came. The tower forever echoing the crying meows of a cat, giving it the name of Cat Call Tower. After many years, the cat finally died up on top of the tower, only to be reborn as a demon out of the angry and lonliness that clouded its heart. No longer a regular cat, he had turned into a Nekomata. A demon born out of lonliness and anger.
When he finally woke within the land though, he realized that those he once knew had gone and passed, and he was the only one. The Nekomata cursed those who betrayed him before slinking off into the mountains, preying on those who dared enter.
This is Yuumata.
He's lived sometime in Luminence now, watching others and teasing newly arriving humans in his spare time.

I pray thee, give it me.
I know a bank where the wild thyme blows,
Where oxlips and the nodding violet grows,
Quite over-canopied with luscious woodbine,
With sweet musk-roses and with eglantine:
There sleeps Titania sometime of the night,
Lull'd in these flowers with dances and delight;
And there the snake throws her enamell'd skin,
Weed wide enough to wrap a fairy in:
And with the juice of this I'll streak her eyes,
And make her full of hateful fantasies.
Take thou some of it, and seek through this grove:
A sweet Athenian lady is in love
With a disdainful youth: anoint his eyes;
But do it when the next thing he espies
May be the lady: thou shalt know the man
By the Athenian garments he hath on.
Effect it with some care, that he may prove
More fond on her than she upon her love:
And look thou meet me ere the first cock crow.
with white fur.
