Araithia Shokta, nicknamed "Rat", is a petite guildless girl from Ravnica who is torn between joining the Selesnyan, Gruul, and Rakdos guilds.[1]

Description

When introduced, she is sixteen year old. Rat is bronze-skinned and dark-haired, and her irises have a deep violet hue. Her garb is decorated with patches of fur and tusks, with ribbons and bells hanging from her shoulders. Her tunic is cinched with braided vines of leaves and berries. Rat is a thief and a chronic eavesdropper. She is very talkative and wont to ramble on in conversations.

Rat has a unique, albeit involuntary ability, to remain unnoticed by most people and easily forgettable by them, unless much focus is intentionally drawn to her by someone who can see already her. The only people who seem to notice her were Hekara (before her death and resurrection), her Gruul parents, her centaur godfather, and recently Teyo and Kaya. This ability became very useful during the War of the Spark, as it gave her a chance at attacking unsuspecting enemies.

History

Rat acted as Teyo Verada's guide to the city plane, when that young planeswalker first arrived.[2] As it was his first time planeswalking, she told him what she knew of planeswalking and the plane of Ravnica. She had acquired her knowledge of planeswalking by eavesdropping on Vraska and Ral Zarek.

Rat played a big role in helping Kaya and Teyo navigate the city, along with recruiting some of the more resisting guilds in the war.

Note

Rat does not have a card in War of the Spark. The way the timetable works is that the set work is done mostly before the novel gets written, so if something originates from the book being written, it doesn’t show up in the card set.[3]
