Cipher: Incessant Clinking — Jingle Jangle, Coins're Gone

The information here comes from a post made by the official account on Hoyolab on June 11.


Cifera the Fleet-Footed hails from Dolos, the infamous Thief Star. So sly that even the Trickery Titan tips their hat to her.

“Her demi-god tail sways lazily behind her, and there are still a few crumbs, which look like honeycake, at the corner of her mouth. Clearly, this little kitty has just wrapped up another delightful little escapade.”

“Don't think I didn't see that golden thread in the shadows. Trying to trick me into talking? Not a chance! I'm outta here, meow~”

Cat-and-mouse Time: Sleight of Sky

Cifera the Fleet-Footed hails from Dolos, the infamous Thief Star. She's so sly that even the Trickery Titan tips their hat to her. By the time she finally strolls into the market alley, half an hour has passed since our scheduled interview. The trickery demigod's tail sways lazily behind, and there are still a few crumbs, which look like honeycake, at the corner of her mouth. Clearly, this little kitty has just wrapped up another delightful little escapade.
“Just call me Cipher. Rogue with a cause, here to answer your questions, so just fire away. But remember, time is money. Better hurry up~”

Q1: But Cipher, you're late.
Hey, it's not every day I sneak back to Okhema, y'know? I've got things to do — like testing out the nap-readiness of that freshly planted tree over there, throwing five rotten tomatoes at the same tired old play in the theater, keeping an eye on the market business… Oh! And how could I say no to a warm, fresh, pomegranate honeycake from the Immortal Little Prince? I could smell it ten streets away!

Here, got an extra. Want a bite?

Q2: Yum! Anyway, back to business. When did you first realize you had a gift?
Gift? Oh, I've got loads of those. Which one do you mean? I could hear the treasures of Amphoreus calling out to me when I was three — “Oh glorious Kitty Phantom Thief, steal us away! We were made to sparkle for you!” By five, I was the most wanted little thief in all of Dolos. At ten, I got invited to Okhema to start my own guild. A seamstress begged me, literally begged, for weeks to become the Demigod of Trickery, so I accepted that invitation reluctantly and with a flick of the paw, I took down Zagreus. What? You don't buy it? Eh, I guess you're too young for that. These stories are all part of the history by now~

Q3: Then why did the Kitty Phantom Thief decide to wander beyond Okhema?
Because the outside world's way more fun, duh. Ever heard of Odressian? Underground pyramids buried in upside-down sands. Or Kuru, the city built inot the bones of a giant whale! And that's not some bedtime story from the Princess Homebody Chronicles — I've seen it with my own eyes. To bad the black tide trashed it all. Lucky for you, I've got a big heart. Made a few trips, salvaged what I could. What's that called again? Oh right, living history!

Q4: So what's the biggest job you've pulled off lately?
Huh, sounds like someone's curious about the trade. Ever heard of the Seven Secret Treasures of Amphoreus? Well… just between us, I may or may not have snagged one just the other day. Big ol' amethyst, half as tall as I am. Glows at night. Even cackles a little, like “ke-ke-ke!” Ears perked up, huh? Ha! Gotcha. Don't think I didn't spot the golden thread in the shadows. Trying to trick the trickster? Nice try. I'm out~

Stray Cat's Guide to Survival!

Excerpt from Advanced Street Survival Street Tactics, rumored to be exclusively available in the ⁎⁎ family heirloom of Dolos, the deepest layers Okhema's sewers, and this very zine. Believe it and luck shall pour upon you. If you don't? Meh, your loss.

* The content for this issue is for trial reading. The full version is charged. Please contact Cipher in person if you're interested.

Don't miss your shot at a loving and wealthy lady with a soft spot for strays. Fake it for five minutes, and you'll have a decent living for five lifetimes. To thrive on the streets, you've gotta know when to yield and when to strike.

Even thieves have a code. Some things you steal, some things you don't. It's not about guilt but about your reputation on the street, a craft that one must master.

A thousand years ago, the Meow-Meow faith overthrew the Woof-Woof faith. But the feud lives on. As your glorious Meow-Meow faith leader, I say this: If you're one of the Meow-Meow faith, avoid members of the Woof-Woof faith at all costs, especially when you're trying to nap in peace.

Gold roof, silver roof, none of it beats a dry roof. Always scout for new hideouts that keep the rain and wind off. Wet tails weigh you down. And if you have no tail, trust me, your heart will feel just as soggy.

Tips: Survival Tip: Always look for fun!
For example, cause just the tiniest commotion in Okhema, and you'll experience an exciting adventure across the golden threads!
