My Roots Within Characters

Roots Within is a series about cats and a murder mystery that I’m creating, I plan it to be a graphic novel so we’ll see how it goes.

Summary: In the Kingdom of Aphelion, when cats start disappearing, the Champion Fly takes it upon herself to investigate and put an end to the string of murders and vanishings. Toe, concerned for his friend, devises a series of plans to assist her and provide support in case of any mishaps. Meanwhile, Lucid hides his true intentions behind a mask of deception while continuing to offer help to his friends. Fly begins to suspect that the murderer may be someone closer than she initially thought.
