[[https://alderwood.the-comic.org/ Tales From Alderwood]] is a fantasy webcomic staring Kathrine (Kat), a thief and aspiring mage and her owl familiar, Creampuff.

Creampuff. When a magical accident deposits Kat in the bathtub of famous mage and businessman Hechoton Sinclair, her formerly aimless life takes on a new direction - one with far more adventure, danger and shenanigans.

Created by medli20 and Bobsplosion
Bobsplosion, based on a Dungeons & Dragons game run by medli20 where Kat was Bobsplosion's character, itself based on a high-school story written by medli20. WordOfGod states that almost nothing remains, plot- and character-wise, from the original incarnation.
