Tora

Stalker, most commonly known as Tora, is a side character in the Elsaverse, and one of the protagonists of the short story Beginnings (2016). Tora is Elsa's cat, and the Elsaverse development team, Tora Productions, is named after him.

Character Overview
Stalker arrived in Sangrive hidden as a stowaway in a ship, after a long and miserable trip. He had a mission, assigned by the Elders, to find a particular woman who was said to be living in the city. Following the info given by these mysterious Elders, and after spending some time wandering the streets and forcefully asking other cats about her, he finally found his match: Elsa, who was working in her bookstore. When a customer, Sylvia, entered the shop, Stalker ran after her and sneaked into the bookstore too. Elsa immediately took him in her arms and started taking care of him, while Sylvia suggested that, due to his fur, the cat could be a guard tiger for Elsa's apartment.

Elsa finally adopted Stalker; of course, she couldn't have possibly known his actual name, as the cat had no collar, so she named him "Tora", a name Stalker gladly accepted. He has been keeping Elsa company since then, acting like an average cat. He took his time to trust Jason when the guy started dating Elsa, and he was locked in a room by Chloe when she broke into her apartment to try and steal the "Morpheus", which allowed Elsa to realize something had happened while she was out on a date with Jason. Later on, Xara came into the scene: for some still unexplained reason, the blind woman was perfectly aware of Tora's real name, and Stalker felt comfortable enough around her. The cat also shows his discomfort when Jason takes Trisha to Elsa's apartment to cheat on her; Trisha then offers to kill the cat, but her boss Charles Reyes refuses.

No further info about Stalker's actual origins or mission has been disclosed so far.

Miscellaneous

 * Tora actually means 'tiger' in Japanese.
