It looks like a cat with a stone mask. It is able to move like fluid and stretch and elongate it's body and by as much as fifteen feet.<ref>The spirit flowed to her, touching ground, body twisted three times between front legs and the back legs that were about fifteen feet behind it. - [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2021/05/15/dash-to-pieces-11-5/ Excerpt] from [[Dash to Pieces 11.5]]</ref>

==Chronology==
It invaded [[Kennet]] after [[Edith James|Edith's]] arrest along with other [[Ghost|echos]] and [[Spirit|spirits]], during the invasion it agreed to be bound by Verona.<ref> “Get in, be bound for now, and I’ll see about your shrine, how’s that?  Little thing.  I got taught about that stuff while I was on vacation.”<br><br>

The cat spirit flowed into the screw-top bottle. - [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2021/05/15/dash-to-pieces-11-5/ Excerpt] from [[Dash to Pieces 11.5]]</ref> Afterward [[Verona]], [[Avery]] and [[Lucy]] made a shrine for it in exchange for it helping to defend Kennet.<ref>She and Lucy lifted their hands and the spirit moved up to the top shelf, near the hollow in the tree.<br><br>

She watched as it took its time investigating, then settled, twining itself around the tree and through the construction.  Fleshy meat thing bits flowed through and helped bind the slabs to the tree itself.  When she turned off her sight, tiny branches and growths were working their way around the slabs, helping to secure them in place. - [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2021/05/18/dash-to-pieces-11-6/ Excerpt] from [[Dash to Pieces 11.6]]</ref>

[[Verona]] used the Spirit of Long with the six-berry admixture to create her [[halflight]] transformation.<ref>Verona had absorbed the spirit of Long, and as long as the Sixberry admixture from the halflight practices book was working on her, the spirit would have residence.  It was a filter for her thoughts and feelings in the same way the Doom was for Matthew.- [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2021/06/19/false-moves-12-1/ Excerpt] from [[False Moves 12.1]]</ref> As thanks Verona brought it a necklace.<ref>She picked a neat looking necklace of what looked like shards of bone or seashell and long pieces of carved wooden dowels.<br><br>...<br><br>If this was a payment to the spirit of Long, who she owed after burning through a lot of its powers while dealing with Maricica, then she had to buy it herself, like how they’d brought their own stuff for the awakening ritual. - [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2021/08/17/summer-break-13-5/ Excerpt] from [[Summer Break 13.5]]</ref>

It took a while for it to regain it's full power.<ref>The spirit of Long was curled up around her shrine.  It took a bit longer to reach her, but Lucy wasn’t sure if that was because of spiritual powers.  The spirit was wearing the affectation of a noodle-like cat, head near the shrine.<br><br>“Good work last week, Long,” Lucy told it.  She washed the shrine with the third bottle of water, and Long extended her head beneath it, letting water run over face and down the body, where it turned improbable angles in the course of running down her.  Lucy got some pasta salad she’d made using noodles, and portioned it out just in front of Long’s face.  The spirit ate.<br><br>“Everything seems to be in order here.  Were you making the path to get to you longer?” Lucy asked.<br><br>The spirit was too busy eating to respond.<br><br>“Bit obnoxious but we can work on that.  You seem a bit low energy so I thought I’d give you a better snack.  We’ll give you a bit extra until you’re back at full power, how’s that?”<br><br>The spirit didn’t respond.  Lucy pet it gently,- [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2021/08/17/summer-break-13-5/ Excerpt] from [[Summer Break 13.5]]</ref>
