House: Mycelia
Mayoral Terms:
Winter 4, Year 7 - Present
Diligent, proud and just a little egotistical- a good not-cat at heart, but a little too self-interested for their own good. Can be a bit grating to some, and the fact that they actually know what they're doing can either make them more or less annoying depending on who you ask. Born on Not-Earth in the village of Feathered Fields, but decided to leave home at a relatively young age, the better to choose their own path. Their arrival at Cobbled Arch made them the youngest not-cat residing there; though they'd grumble about all the attention, they did appreciate being looked out for, and the whole ordeal strengthened the village's sense of community in the end.

Relationships
MAJOR RELATIONSHIPS: 
Ilana ✦ partner ✦
Ilana and Viney are both abrasive, but thick-skinned enough to take each other's prickliness in stride; beyond that, they take a sort of solace in 'being loners together'. It's Ilana's personal mission to ensure all of aer neighbors' safety, and while Viney is determined to keep their residence in the middle of the woods, they've resigned themselves to Ilana being protective over them- they're both stubborn, but Ilana is more stubborn. Their relationship eventually evolved into one with more substance, and instead of continuing to insist they're 'not friends' they just put their energy into enjoying their time together.
Ilana thoroughly enjoys Viney's company, finding them to be witty and pretty street-smart for a young cat; Viney envies Ilana's intimidating, almost regal image and simply admires aer in general. The two of them spend quite a bit of time hanging out at Viney's garden, and at this point, Ilana looking out for Viney's safety is almost just an excuse to spend time with them.
MINOR RELATIONSHIPS: 
Spotty ✦ friend ✦ Spotty isn't put off by Viney's thorny exterior, and Viney doesn't mind having aer around to talk about aer ideas and be a potential confidant. Their relationship is pretty chill.
Top Dollar ✦ friend ✦ Top Dollar and Viney just have a similar sort of confidence to them that has them getting along swimmingly. Viney isn't a very social not-cat, but when they are in a more extroverted mood, they appreciate Top Dollar's adventurous tendencies. And they're both a bit too dense to really be all that judgmental, which is something of a respite when they're both considered some of Cobbled Arch's more 'annoying' residents.
