OTHER SPECIAL POSSESSIONS: His wristband, ring and a glass spider shaped by his father.PERSONAL INFO: Arachnophile. Soft-spoken, but not to the extreme that his father is, Catspaw is perfectly capable of losing his temper. And though he tales after his father, you can still tell he's his mother's son.
He has a working knowledge of sailing and other sealore, but was never very interested in it, tending to stay home in the Cove while the Cowrie went to sea. Nor did he care for most of the other cottage industries that went along with the Household profession --except for netmaking and sailweaving.
During the Household's stay with Greenwillow, Catspaw developed a talent for the fiber arts. He learned what he could from his father, and then studied under Peysol and Leravie for a bit. He was doing well enough that when Doreel came for his visit, Peysol recommended Catspaw as an apprentice. After discussions with his family, his Household and finally the Council of Elders, Catspaw packed up his belongings and moved to Tower Mountain.
