Chess - Cheshire - Cheshire Cat

“Are you lost?”

“Well yes I am, the signs are awfully confusing,”

“Hmmm, yes I do now see where you’re coming from” 

“Why does that one point up?”

“Perhaps because it leads up, or maybe it leads down,”

“How does that make any sense?”

“What makes sense?”

“What you just said?”

“Did I say anything? I do wonder”

You wouldn’t be a fool to be uncertain if Chess is more cat than he is man or man than he is cat or more phantom than he is both. He unravels into existence as the ghost that he is, to guide lost travelers through the part of the forest he watches over. Whether he is a peddling meddler or an intelligent, but cunning guide he is still helpful. 

As a cat he appears a monochrome creature with black stripes and white fur. You ask for his help and he only hums to himself or is it purring to himself. His stripes begin to unravel, to take the form and shape of a man with white hair, white eyebrows, with a black and white top and black pants. Who is he? But he speaks in the same cunning, dulcet tones, that are pleasant to the ear. He hovers over others, he’s rarely seen on the ground. And he’s rarely seen unless he wants to be seen. 

Sparkling blue, nearly aquamarine irises glint in the light and all that is left is all, but a cunning smile when he fades.

You want to know a bit more about me. I am flattered, but also one to tell extraordinary lies But lies backwards are incredible truths .It's whether or not you can see past the facade to know whether or not the lie is in fact one or in fact a truth. 

Memories are infallible as well as people We shape and mold ourselves to model the perfect image of ourselves .We change  ourselves to be more appealing to others. We lie to make ourselves appear more attractive to others, more palpable. We want to be loved and cherished. They see no problem in those little attractive lies. But I am none of those things. 

I prefer games. What type of games. You want to know. Sadly if I told you, then how would I win and you lose.. And how has any of this helped you determine the type of person I am. Well that's all for you to figure out, why I already told you what I was not. It's up to you to determine then what I am.

Crush:

Oh dear Kat. I never understood the Hatter’s obsession with Alice, until I met my own temptations. I see the way your eyes light up like lanterns leading the way through the forest. Long time friends whose hearts I would assume yearn for each other. This is the most candid, most honest confession I would write to you. Yes and only you. It is your eyes alone that could understand this message.

History:

I know no other fascinating story to tell in Wonderland. Many ask, who is the Cheshire Cat? Even those in Wonderland cannot simply fathom his existence with mere understanding. Cheshire, unlike many others, has lived in Wonderland far longer than any of them have come to Wonderland. Some say he was once a kitten born to a litter. But then, why are there no other ghostly cats wandering Wonderland? Some say he was the imprint of a child’s dream left in Wonderland. But then again, why wasn’t there any other marks of this child’s imaginations in Wonderland?

A more feasible answer I’d say is that Cheshire was born out of implausibility or some kind of figure born from the madness of others. There is plenty of that in Wonderland and even more likely is he existed before Wonderland and came across Wonderland in some way from another world. Whatever the truth may be, he has far outlived anyone in Wonderland.

What people know is that Cheshire can wander Wonderland as he pleases. Entering the castle without a key, bypassing the security gates or the guards simply by vanishing and reappearing again. He goes wherever he pleases with limited care.

Some even say that he may have been the Queen of Heart’s common housecat before she got tired of his antics considering her flippant attitude. She meant to kill him, but he simply vanished. Though Chess doesn’t wander like a man who has someone out for his blood.

He has meant many Alice’s and even thee Alice. Always guiding them through his Wanderer’s Doom, with philosophical quandary and misdirection, as it is his style. There is only one person who Chess actually spends some considerable time with and speaks “clearly” too. Even the most clear Chess speaks is often vague and that is Kat.

They met when she was but a child. And he was but a kitten, perhaps no one is for certain. Kat claims he was younger, but Chess doesn’t necessarily appear to age to many. She seemed oblivious to his ramblings, but he didn’t mind she answered in her own amusing ways. It soon turned to frequent visits in the White Castle, where he would wander in and no one knew for certain how he came in.

To adventures that took her away from the boringness of castles. They grew a kinship through their adventures and he felt something stirring in his heart. If he indeed had one. When she moved to the garden, he visited more often when there were no Alices’.

And he has a nasty habit of sending undesirables to Kat’s garden to lead them to being attacked by vines. He does find it fairly amusing. 

He finds himself at a crossroad. Knowing the passing looks Kat has during their conversations. And know how he feels. He’s not afraid of destroying their relationship, he is waiting for Kat to make the move first. Even his own romance seems to be a puzzling game to him.

Other Information:

Most will mistake Chess’ actions as one of malicious, cruel, intent. Few view him as a liar and manipulator because of his cunning and tricky ways.

Those who know Chess best, know he is none of those things, a deep thinker, who likes games, an intellectual who likes to think to himself on philosophy, moral questions and ethical values. He is romantic in some sense of the word. But is often forgetful. Sometimes his own tricky nature is merely because Chess has forgotten a thing or two in the current conversation.

Chess like the rest isn’t all the way there. Has a habit of spacing out and zoning out of conversations, to fade, and bring up a completely different subject. It eventually connects to the thought he originally had, but it’s not always so straightforward than that. 

He is rarely ever seen walking. As a cat, he’s always levitating or sitting atop tree branches, and as a man he is seen with buckled slippers, black breeches, and a black and white top that looks quite a lot like his fur he also somewhat levitates off the ground, often seeming to sit on nothing with his legs crossed. 

He is often seen wearing a sly smile even in his human form. 

Chess method of speaking is by unraveling himself or evaporating ghost like, appearing as a cat, then as a man, then as a cat again. It gets quite confusing to watch him switch between forms while he’s speaking with you.

How to tell if you're on good terms with Chess is a little difficult, he won't compliment you, won't say nice things [not that he says rude things either], but it is all determined on how much He Teases you. If he likes to include you in his games, its a likely chance you're on fairly good terms with Chess. If he doesn't include you in his Games and his Games seem deliberately Harsh its most likely you have gotten on his bad side somehow. 

He has a standard London Accent. That is often spoken in a slow cadence, that holds on a little longer on certain words he is emphasizing.
