Grizabella
Grizabella was a gorgeous cat when she was young, but treated everyone else badly.
As she grew old, she became ugly, and all the other cats shunned her. They wouldn't accept her, until Victoria, heartbroken by the words in her song, reacheed out and accepted the old Jellicle.
She sang very sadly with all her heart-even with Jemima, one of the kittens trying to accept her.
There were a few cats who wanted to accept her-Victoria, Etcetera, Jemima and Demeter-but were too afraid or taken away by someone else.Old Deuteronomy finally chose her as the cat to be "reborn"
Famous Songs-"Grizabella the Glamour Cat"(with Demeter) and "Memory"* and "Memory II"(with Jemima)
