Exotica

Exotica is a character from Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical, Cats.

Appearance
Exotica is a dark brown cat, who has a shorter coat than the rest of the Jellicles, much like Cassandra.

Personality
Little is known about Exotica's personality, as she never stars in any songs or dances. She is considered by many fans to be a mysterious cat, often associated with Coricopat and Tantomile, who are also fairly mysterious characters.

Role
The character of Exotica was created specially for the 1998 film, most likely so that an African American actress could be cast in a role (seeing as all other characters are most often played by Caucasian actors/actresses). Exotica is a very minor character. She doesn't lead any of the songs or dances, and is rarely seen on screen in background shots.
