Dang girl, get a water filter or something...

Well, on a positive note, at least Mino is now in good company.

I'm not sure where to start because....there is a lot to say about this character. And she's certainly not a new design (although I didn't really give her a solid hair pattern, let alone a name in the past)

First time I drew her in 2022 together with the other lucky cats.

although back then she was merely a stereotypical secretary archetype, at least for the time being.

She made her actual appearance in 2024, in a flashback in 'Katzen Jammer!' (beginning of chapter 4/episode 89 on Webtoon)

The fact she's now alone in the woods should hint that....things didn't go too well for her...but we'll get into that later.

Btw, I wasn't sure what to name this lucky lady until the very last moment. Originally I had Malkin in mind since that's a British term for cat....and an untidy woman (which I thought was kinda funny since this character is extremely tidy and organized). However, Malkin is also a bit of a derogatory term/name...so in the end I settled for Maude- which is a proper form of Malkin...also, I kinda think of Maude Flanders from the Simpsons who was a pretty stuck up and overly religious character. So I kinda connect that name to an overly proper woman ^^"
