YOU MAKE THINGS SO HARD FOR ME! How could I possibly know who you are talking about? *snerk*
1. Bela took piano lessons as a girl, and she was a very good player. She hated playing, though, because she wasn't perfect enough to receive the approval she so badly wanted from her parents. Whenever her mother was in listening range, Bela made such bad mistakes from nervousness that it seemed like she couldn't play well at all. Her father was never around to hear her play. 2. Her cat's name is Bast. This is not a very creative name, but she looked like a Bast to Bela. She bought the cat, a purebreed, on a whim one day early on in her move to New York City. She'd been thinking about purchasing one for awhile, because she'd had a cat as a girl, and she had always cuddled with Bela and made her feel less sad. Bast, sadly, is not too cuddly, but she enjoys a lapsit often enough to be a good pet. 3. She forgets for weeks at a time what her birth name was. But then she'll see, hear, or taste something that reminds of "before" and it all comes back. 4. While she doesn't hate herself, she doesn't like herself very much, either. If she let herself dwell on the subject, she would hate herself. 5. She doesn't wear perfume. You can get caught or noticed way too easily if you have an obvious scent.
