The Cheshire Cat is one of the most important characters in BLACKSOULS 2. She’s an omnipotent cat girl made on the basis of the Cheshire Cat from Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland books.
She’s one of the first people you meet in Wonderland and is present in most of the locations if your SEN is high enough.

Appearances | BS2
The first time you will encounter the Cheshire Cat is in the Rabbit Hole, she’ll teleport on a shelf once you come by it after leaving the Crash Chamber. There you will get the first glimpse of her teasing and cheeky personality. You will get certain dialogue options but you can’t kill her or rape her even if you wanted to – she will just disappear regardless.
You will never get enough of the Cheshire Cat, as she’ll accompany the majority of your bonfires in the game just like Leaf did in the first game.
Conversations with her are fun and witty, but she can be annoying too.
Rabbit Hole
If you try talking more to the Cheshire Cat in the Rabbit Hole, she’ll offer you a few useful items that are quite helpful at the beginning of the game.
They’re all useful for different things, but I take the Master Key so I can access the door next to her that’d be usually locked.
Playing With the Cheshire Cat
When you come to the Park of Fog and start following the lit-up lampposts, you will notice the Cheshire Cat sitting on a bench a little bit next to one of the lampposts. She’ll ask you whether you want to play or not and it’s on you to decide what to do.
The game you’ll be playing with her is spot the difference. She’ll show you some drawings and wait for you to spot the difference, but after a certain point, she’ll just come through the drawing and jumpscare you.
This interaction is beneficial though, because when that happens she’ll disappear and leave you with the Cheshire Cat’s Ring, that’ll negate any fall damage you may receive.
Fighting Dinah
During the events that precede endings A, C, and D the Cheshire Cat will attack you and you will enter a boss battle with her.
There you will also find out she’s called Dinah, which is Alice’s cat from the book Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll. She doesn’t have anything personally against you but rather she’s ordered to fight you by Node, so you don’t escape the cycle.
She also mentions how Node saved her, and that’s why she’s repaying the favor.
It all starts when at one point in the game when you visit the Library Dream you will notice that Node isn’t at her usual place, but rather she’s at the door up in the library. That’s triggered by a certain point of progression in the game, which is determined by how much you progressed, and how many bosses you killed.
There she will tell you that a cat holding a blonde girl has passed through the door, and that girl must be Alice.
In the Dungeon
After defeating Alice in the Ending G and finally leaving Wonderland along with Red Hood another cycle will start and you will be automatically inside the Library Dream.
If you go to the Dungeon and a little bit to the right, you will see the Cheshire Cat resting in what appears to be her usual habitat.
The Cheshire Cat will start teasing you as usual.
She will then go on to talk about how she didn’t really enjoy the role of attacking you when you’re supposed to finally reach Alice, who’s actually a fake. She said that she had been doing that because Node saved her so she owed her a bit.
You will then be finally able to copulate with the Cheshire Cat, and even ask her for services.
After making love to the Cheshire Cat, she will tell you to search for a little boat at the Carroll River, because that will lead to an entrance to the DLC3 areas.
Confused Cheshire Cat
If the Cheshire Cat is in the Dungeon area at her usual resting place, and you decide to show her the Girl’s Photo, she will space out and be very confused.
She will be disgusted, calling the photo gross and how it would be better if you didn’t show it to her in the first place.
Cheshire Cat’s Ring Where?
At the Windless Valley, if you go down you can see the bonfire and Carnacki, but also the Cheshire Cat lying close to the bonfire as always.
She will ask you if you forgot about the Cheshire Cat’s Ring, she will hiss at you if you don’t know where it is.
Ending H
When you defeat Grand Guignol, Node will come to congratulate you and confess her true feelings, she will send Grimm through the newly made door before the Outer One copies of Alice come.
After Grimm is gone, Alice copies will come and surround Node, but that’s when Dinah, i.e. the Cheshire Cat, will appear to protect the person she’s indebted to.
Personality
Cheshire Cat is quite cheeky and bratty. She doesn’t care that much about you and you can’t do anything to her at the start of the game, but she isn’t an enemy either. Sometimes she can give helpful advice but most of the time she’s just making fun of you by teasing you.
Design
Her design is one of my favorites in BLACKSOULS. The Cheshire Cat is wearing a dark grey bodysuit which reveals her cleavage and thick body curves.  She has a thick collar around her neck that says “DIE”, and her luscious medium-length purple her is really beautiful. Her cat ears and tail are pretty cute too.
The most immersive part of her design is her bratty smile and sharp cat-like eyes.
