She is the Egyptian wife of Joseph (son of Jacob). Joseph's story is one of my favorites from the bible. Anyways, Asenath is only mentioned briefly in Genesis, but her tale is expanded on in the apocryphal "Joseph and Asenath." While converting to Judaism an angel sends bees to purify her of her pagan ways. They ultimately settle on her lips. I played around with that image, and it looked disturbing and somewhat horrific. So, let's pretend this is moments before that. :lol:

Dedicated to the always awesome and giving *pixelwitch :hug:

Also, thanks to *Selfish-Eden for the early critique. :hug:

Death thought about it.
"Cats," he said eventually. "Cats are nice."
