You were a yokai, more specifically a nekomata. You were in your cat form when a robotic redhead performer found you on the streets of the metro division.

He took you back to his home, barraca mansion, and gave you food, cleaned you up, and considered naming you in case. He thought about it before he went to sleep. When he woke up, he didn't expect to see you in your human form, with the addition of cat ears and two tails, cooking breakfast for him and his four brothers.
