Big the Cat

Big is a simple-minded, 18-year-old purple tabby cat who lives in the jungle surrounding the Mystic Ruins. Though physically strong and imposing of stature, Big is a gentle and easy-going, though somewhat dim-witted, person with a heart of gold. He seems to be a fisher for a living, and he lives in tranquility with his friend/pet, Froggy. Quite frequently, Froggy goes missing, and Big has to set out to find him with his trusty fishing rod. Big is not one for going on grand adventures, preferring his peaceful and quiet lifestyle in the jungle. However, should his friends be in danger or in need of his aid, Big will not hesitate to help out and protect them in any way he can.
