Bellemond and Lester

Appearance: Bellemond is an anthropomorphic cat with the pattern of a black tuxedo tabby, a white chin and throat, and a white stripe of three protrusions on his forehead that extends between his eyes and upper lip. His nose is pink, and his ears are red. Bellemond's appearance is similar to that of the Japanese yokai Nekomata, with a thin tail that forks into two ends. His tail, like the rest of his body, is primarily black with white tips. As for clothing and accessories, Bellemond wears large, thick, brightly colored glasses with orange and pink lenses that obscure his eyes. He also wears a small orange top hat with a fuchsia band and white gloves. His outfit consists of a simple orange waistcoat over a light pink pinstriped dress shirt, a fuchsia pocket square, white trousers, and black lace-up dress shoes. Bellemond is also short in stature.
Personality: Bellemond can be described as a helpful person who constantly tries to lend a hand, follows the rules, and avoids trouble. However, he is also clumsy and shy, often confusing words. Bellemond is also somewhat talkative, sharing interesting facts whenever he can. It's worth noting that he seems to be antisocial. As a teenager, people often forgot he was there when he wasn't speaking, but perhaps his short stature contributed to this. He was also clumsy as a teenager and was bullied by being pushed into lockers. He has a bell that makes Bellemond very sad if someone breaks it. He loves cheese, though he doesn't particularly appreciate having a slice thrown in his face; he simply eats it after a few seconds without saying anything. He also likes the color green. He considers himself terrible with his hands, especially when trying to create something. He also follows every rule.

Appearance: Lester is an anthropomorphic beagle with a fluorescent yellow coat, and although no beagles are actually that color, Lester is, in a way, one. His ears and tail are black, and he appears to have dark circles under his eyes, though they aren't very noticeable. His outfit consists of a long-sleeved white shirt, black suspenders, a black bow tie, black pants with vertical stripes, and simple dark shoes. There isn't much else to say about Lester's appearance.
Personality: From what little we know about Lester, he seems to be mostly calm and enjoys coffee, which is understandable given he's a bartender. While he does seem to get nervous in certain situations, he's generally a calm person who's always there to help, especially to offer advice.
