Our Mascot

Lil’ Witch is the mascot of Anime Syracuse. She has two friends, Salty the cat and Wazzit the….wazzit. Her goal is to make things that happen in anime real with her magic. Lil’ Witch is still learning so she has more enthusiasm then talent. Salty tends to be the voice of reason when he can, though without opposable thumbs he finds it hard to reign her in sometimes. Wazzit pretty much just does his own thing, mostly loving to eat, drink and watch the insanity. He lives on Lil’ Witch’s hat and prefers the view from there, though he’s been known to jump off and explore now and then.

Lil’ Witch is a young girl in her preteen to teenage years, with red hair and green eyes. She always wears a hat with two peaks, and has a yellow “smilie face” button that likes to react to what’s going on. She likes to dress primarily in blue and has a fondness for purple accessories. Her most common outfit is a blue dress with a pleated skirt, brown belt, and purple and blue arm and leg warmers; but she likes to cosplay in the style of different anime (though usually not as a particular character). She often wears her hair in pigtails and rides a flying broom.

Salty is a boy cat, mostly white with spots of gray on his head (between his ears and on the back of his head) and the tip of his tail. He’s proud and doesn’t like a lot of nonsense, but he’s very loyal to Lil’ Witch so is always getting caught up despite himself. That’s why he usually looks worried, annoyed or scared, usually annoyed. Sometimes Lil’ Witch dresses him up to match her, which he hates!

Wazzit is a wazzit. What’s a Wazzit? Wazzits are little fluffballs with mismatched eyes, fang teeth that poke out when they smile, and curly tails. Sometimes the tail gets mistaken for a long curl of hair, but it is there and it can hold on to things, but it’s not very strong. Sometimes he seems to use his fur like hands (mostly to hold drinks or food, but sometimes to hold on to Lil’ Witch’s hat.) Wazzits are party animals, and really laid back. No matter how crazy it is, Wazzit is usually smiling and joining in, though even he can be taken by surprise. We think he’s a boy, but we’re not sure if Wazzits have genders but we do know there are more of them and they come in lots of colors. Our Wazzit is brown.
