Scout

[stillwinningthehardway]

Proof: Here and here.
Name: Tràkata, Tràka
Form: Mantessan panthac, a bobcat-sized creature from the galaxy far far away. His irises are a very pale lightsaber blue, his claws gleam like brass, and his tail is more like hers, maybe with a lion tuft at the end.
Personality: Tràkata tends to be remote, rarely speaking where most people would hear him and not interacting very much with the dæmons of people Scout doesn't know well. Mostly, he stands right up against Scout, hangs back to watch, or roams around guarding against surprises. He's visibly more alert and wary or suspicious than the rest of her, and more visibly forlorn or hurt, but otherwise is considerably more stoic and less expressive.

He's an embodiment of Scout's grief and isolation, and of the self-directed anger she feels. Despite being reserved and quiet he's cautiously willing to open up and be honest to people Scout knows and has some measure of trust for. Tràkata talks more when it's just him and Scout, and they often discuss things that still hurt. He's also inclined to encourage working on a plan for when it's time to leave the Carnival, which Scout has tended to put off.

The sense that here is another survivor, she's not alone, is illusory and Scout knows it. Tràkata is part of her and only knows to mourn this and miss that because she does. But it's comforting to be able to talk about these things to someone, to not have to hide how she feels about her situation, and to have someone to love and treasure.
