Sneaky Peat

Description
In the dimly lit backstreets of Merbark Bay, where the scent of fish heads and fried leftovers fills the air, few cats move as smoothly — or as silently — as Sneaky Peat. A slick and shadowy figure, Peat is the calm heartbeat of The Strays, the food-obsessed trio that prowls the alleys under the cover of night.

Always dressed in his trademark black fedora, with his lucky Ace of Hearts tucked neatly in the brim, Peat plays the game of life like a seasoned gambler — cautious, clever, and always three moves ahead. His deck of cards is never far from reach, a habit from his hustling days, when he’d trade card tricks for scraps.

Unlike his loudmouthed companion Phil, Peat is soft-spoken and measured, preferring to observe rather than boast. Every plan he makes is deliberate, every step calculated. Some say he can vanish into the shadows faster than a streetlight flickers out — others aren’t sure he was ever really there.

Despite his cool composure, there’s an air of mystery about Sneaky Peat — a cat with secrets, regrets, and a quiet fondness for the only family he’s ever known: The Strays. He’d never admit it, of course. For Peat, loyalty is just another card in the deck.
