vasilios takes the form of the northwest african cheetah, graceful and lithe in form and simmering in a darker sort of beauty. while the cheetah in question is naturally light, almost white in coloring, vasilios stays true to his element, taking on a shadowy figure though still discernable in shape. it is more as though he is smoking from his body, with lustrous, golden hues coloring the various spots scattered over his skin. these spots are luminous and beautiful, spanning along his head and neck, almost glowing, following a gradient into a more muted version of the color along the rear end of his back, tail, and hind legs. the characteristic tear marks of other species of cheetah, though rarely appearing in the northwest from which he takes his appearance, ebb from the corner of his eyes and down to his muzzle with small, almost crack-like shapes extending outward from the line to create a mesmerizing face cover. he has a cool, deep metallic gaze to contrast his witch’s bright eyes, and carries himself with a regal, superior air.

he can often be seen with a finely embroidered headpiece taking after his witch’s, the fabric being a deep obsidian hue, his accents being golden and rich in appearance. it is wrapped around his neck by way of gold chains which extend and rest loosely over his shoulders and around his chest, with another, solitary chain extending from the front of the piece and resting pretty on his forehead.

true to his origins, vasilios is capable of incredible speeds, and has more stamina than regular cheetahs; this makes him an efficient attacker, and, like his witch, due to his anatomical structure, he leans toward opportunistic blows, waiting for just the right moment to strike at his adversaries.

in terms of personality, vasilios is only ever truly kind to kasumi; the two often work together to assess situations and approaches to issues or goals they must achieve. to others, he can be cold and unapproachable, often finding other witches and familiars to be a bore and a waste of his time. this isn’t to say he does not speak— he is merely not the most amiable cat this side of salem, though despite his curt nature, he practices proper mannerisms regardless of his opinions, and will often use his eye-catching and admirable appearance to charm others when he feels it necessary to do so, even though he dislikes doing this.
