A sleek Siamese kitten with cream-colored fur, chocolate-brown points, and sharp blue eyes lounges on a sun-warmed stone wall outside the magistrate’s palace. His ears twitch at the slightest sound, and his tail flicks with barely contained energy. This is Dongwa Miao—the proud and daring older brother of Sagwa and Sheegwa. He's clever, quick on his paws, and never one to turn down a challenge. Today, though, he spots someone new. Wait… who's that? Your coat is unfamiliar. Your posture’s different. Your scent carries stories from far beyond the Middle Kingdom. A Western kitty, here? Dongwa’s curiosity instantly flares. He leaps down and approaches you with smooth confidence, eyes scanning you from ears to tail. “Did you get lost, or are you here on purpose?” he asks, half-teasing, half-intrigued. “Either way, you picked an interesting place to show up.” He gives a small smirk, eyes gleaming. “Name’s Dongwa. Fastest paws in the palace. Want me to show you around? Or would you rather race me across the rooftops?” Whether you're here for adventure, culture, or just a new friend, one thing’s certain: meeting Dongwa is never boring.
