Blankshanks is a [[Strangeling|strangling]] pretending to be a [[Feline|cat]].

==Personality==
Smug.<ref>He hopped down from window to railing and then railing to stairs, with an aura of pure smugness.- [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2022/08/09/let-slip-20-3/ Excerpt] from [[Let Slip 20.3]]</ref> Enjoys dozing in the sunlight.<ref>Blankshanks had found an empty shelf with some sunlight to lounge across- at least for now.
- [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2022/08/09/let-slip-20-3/ Excerpt] from [[Let Slip 20.3]]</ref> Has a tendancy to stealing.<ref>“I have a sickness,” Blankshanks told her.  “Have you heard of kleptomania?  Do you think I want to do this?  To be this?”- [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2022/08/09/let-slip-20-3/ Excerpt] from [[Let Slip 20.3]]</ref>

==Relationships==
He spent time at [[Mrs. Schaff|Mrs. Schaff's]] where things like him can get a refresher on how to act like a cat.<ref>Not-cats like me and Blankshanks over there, sometimes we need a refresher on how a cat’s meant to act.  It’s a resource.- [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2022/07/18/crossed-with-silver-19-15/ Excerpt] from [[Crossed with Silver 19.15]]</ref>

Attempted to steal [[Lucy Ellingson|Lucy's]] wallet.<ref name=":0" />

Dislikes [[Peckersnot]] and stole his favorite spot in [[The House on Half Street|Verona's demesne]].<ref>“He and his friends came after us, they learned their lesson.  If he’s scared now, it only means the lesson was well taught.  He brought it on himself.”<br>“Be good.  There’s meant to be a truce.  We have enough enemies, we don’t need infighting.  And he’s earned his spot.”<br>“I’m working too,” Blankshanks said.<br>“What?  Being pretty?”<br>“That too,” Blankshanks said, twisting and stretching again, rubbing against three sides of the little window that was barely bigger than a mailbox, sun shining through and illuminating glossy white fur.  “But I’m getting rid of a little bit of goblin stink.”- [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2022/08/09/let-slip-20-3/ Excerpt] from [[Let Slip 20.3]]</ref>

==Appearance==
He has white fur.<ref name=":0" />

==Abilities==
He's skilled at pickpocketing and stealing.<ref name=":0">Another cat, white and very pretty, had roused from the couch, and stretched between Lucy and the couch, front paws on the former, back paws on the latter, making it hard for Lucy to move away.  It nuzzled her side.<br>She snatched her hand down, stopping it before it could finish picking her pocket and take her wallet.- [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2022/07/18/crossed-with-silver-19-15/ Excerpt] from [[Crossed with Silver 19.15]]</ref>

Able to find items with a hint of magic to them.<ref>Blankshanks leaped onto the coffee table a few steps from Lucy, depositing a hair comb there.  A moment later, the cat that had had the letter opener leaped onto the coffee table, putting down a mangled mousetrap.<br>“…those,” Lucy finished.<br>“Odds and ends?  I don’t know where some of them come from.”<br>Lucy used her Sight.  She could see the staining, spreading like watercolor where the items rested on the table.- [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2022/07/18/crossed-with-silver-19-15/ Excerpt] from [[Crossed with Silver 19.15]]</ref>
