Description
Stan is a Siamese cat with light gray fur and dark gray markings on its tail, ears, paws, and face, featuring distinctive dark pink eyes. It once wore a black-and-dark-pink collar that allowed transformation into a larger, mechanical Honkai Beast form with enhanced claws and glowing eyes.
Personality-wise, Stan exhibits arrogance and pride, typically rejecting physical affection and reacting angrily to combat defeats while making excuses for failures. It instinctively displays fear and submission—like exposing its belly—when confronting vastly stronger opponents to avoid harm. A groomy demeanor surfaces when dissatisfied with rewards or outcomes.
Historically, Stan was adopted and trained as a kitten by an unknown master. After witnessing the master's death, it journeyed alone, developing a survival-focused respect for stronger entities. This led to joining World Serpent under Jackal, where it endured Honkai experiments to gain combat prowess. In the *London Holiday* manga, Stan ambushed Rita Rossweisse twice in Honkai Beast form but retreated under orders. Durandal shattered its collar during a confrontation, causing reversion to cat form and submissive behavior; Durandal then adopted Stan. It resides in her garden, interacting with her and Rita despite lingering shame over its submission.
In *Cooking With Valkyries II*, Stan lives domestically with Durandal and Rita in a non-canon setting. Key incidents include:
- Escaping the house alongside Durandal, returning wet and dirty, requiring cleaning by Rita.
- Attempting to steal fish from Durandal, intercepted by Rita.
- Trailing muddy paw prints indoors, irritating Rita during cleanup.
- Receiving belly rubs from Durandal, inadvertently provoking Rita's annoyance.
- Appearing in a live-performance episode: initially yawning, then napping contentedly in Durandal's arms after being petted.
- Eating cabbage rolls during a meal, showing surprise at the absence of fish.
These events illustrate Stan's daily life as a pet, contrasting its earlier antagonistic role while retaining traits like food motivation and reactions to perceived slights.
