Ashara (Empath stories)

Ashara is a character who is part of the EMPATH: The Luckiest Smurf story series, appearing mostly in flashback stories. She is a cat who is the pet of Gargamel's twin brother Gourmelin, whom he had taken care of as a child. Ashara has some physical similarities to Gargamel's own cat Azrael, but is otherwise very friendly. Gargamel, however, doesn't like the name of the cat, preferring to name his own cat Azrael when he finally got one.
