Assignment: Rat Zodiac

Assignment: Create a character duo based on a Zodiac animal, using silhouettes for design. Write them into a story.

Cheng is a humble street urchin living at the bottom rung of feudal china's strict social ladder. Even so, he's always been content with his status. Not to be mistaken however, Cheng's no fool. He learned early on that the easiest way to make it through the day unscathed was to stay polite and professional, and to keep from ruffling the feathers of his overseers. 

Things change when Cheng winds up saving a feisty rat spirit in a twist of fate. In return, the spirit cooks up a conniving plan to move Cheng up the social ladder and get him a little recognition and power. Cheng ends up forced into a lot of character compromising situations, and admits he's happy as he is.

Only problem is, the spirit won't take no for an answer.

Also here's my silhouettes and reference material:
