Arius (Chelderan Chronicles)

Swift and cunning, Arius is a Stage II clone fused with feline DNA. Arius mentored Jasmine during her early years in captivity. She has eluded the Arcanii in the country of Eretus since her escape aboard a crashed Gallian container ship harboring tens of thousands of Stage II clones in Zanahar. Arius is a fortune-seeker and loves thrill, known as the Cat Snatcher for her successful attempts to steal priceless artifacts, jewelry, and other loot from high security areas throughout Eretus, making a name for herself in the black market. Arius befriends the police officer Kahil after sparing her in a police chase on one of her runs. She has a long, dark braided ponytail with a white silk collar with a ribbon attached to her neck.
