[Heart Exclusive Content] - Lore: Clowder Bodyguards (Patreon)

The first design sketches for the personal bodyguards of the Clowder's big boss!
Visually, the suits you see here will see a few minor revisions, and I am toying with the idea of maybe giving Bob an eyepatch or cybernetic replacement to his missing eye!

The Clowder is more of a mafia than a common run of the mill gang, so it stands to reason that its boss Felix would require only the cream of the crop when it comes to his personal safety, especially with how defenseless he would be in any type of physical encounter.
Enter two of the deadliest muscles in the entire city, known under their aliases of "Bob" and "Panther".

While these two seldom speak of their own names or personal lives, it's more than just their glares what make the prospect of threatening Felix a very, very bad idea. It is very difficult to meet with the boss of the cats without these two being in tow, and you will find your every move under their intense scrutiny every second of your meeting.

"Bob" gets his nickname from his tail, or lack thereof. Humorously simple as his moniker might be, this half-Asian katana aficionado is a trained assassin, one who knows the most efficient methods of lacerating a target's heart even should he be disarmed of his blade.
He collects manga in his personal time, though much to his own shame, he doesn't know the first thing about Japanese.

"Panther", much like her partner, also gets her nickname from her species, though hers stands out by being the only big cat in all of the Clowder's ranks. Though she speaks even less than Bob does, most are aware of her fervor towards the gang's methods and goals, as well as the anecdote involving her crushing an entire watermelon with a single paw.
If you ever met her while off the clock, it'd likely be while she's at the gym, where she's become easily the most popular within the local community. I hear she's looking to publish a small book full of smoothie recipes, too!
