who is Sylvani (Cats)

Sylvani is my name for the swing version of Jemima you see in a lot of productions that have both her and Sillabub. The Shiki production especially comes to mind--there, Sillabub is still a little kitten, but Swing!Jemima is an adult who sings with Cassandra and Jellylorum to form the Gumbie Trio. I just think she's neat and wanted to give her a unique name (mostly so I didn't get her mixed up with the kittens)!

#asked and answered #westophere #cats the musical #There's a swing Jemima that shows up in quite a few productions but the Japanese version is the most iconic. <3 #I like to include *all* iterations of characters in my personal headcanon universe--it's just dependent on the designs.#In my head Jemima is the reddish black London-based design while Sillabub is the more gold and almost pink Broadway design #so Sylvani is the tall ginger and yellow-striped Shiki design.#Robin came up with the idea of her being an older cat and Cori and Tanto's mom; Jemi had the idea of her being a Protector;#and I threw in the idea of her being some form of aromantic and a dear friend to Hathor Jelly and the Rumpus Cat. <3
