Maplekit--Mothclan

[thistle]

Maplekit Female 0 Moons Asexual Mothclan Kit "....." Appearance Maplekit is a small and delicate little thing. She has long hair that is very soft, and is a blue and cream tortoiseshell. Her fur is a mix of orange, white, and black, though the black is more of a dark gray in color with darker black patches that resemble spots.She has a swirl of cream fur on her left front foreleg, and her muzzle is a mix of orange and cream. Her face is mostly orange and cream, while her ears and the fur immediately around them is a bluish-gray. Her right eye has a grey-black patch around it, while the left has a smudge of grey-black beneath it, but the fur surrounding it is a light orange-cream. Her lower lip has a smudge of grey on the right side. Her eyes are small and green. Because of a tooth mutation, Maple has two small fangs that protrude over her lower lip, giving her a comically ferocious appearance. Personality Timid and shy, it is readily apparent that something is off about this small she-cat. Maplekit is prone to staring, and will happily remain for hours crouched by a puddle of water or a row of marching ants. Though she can speak, she frequently stumbles over her words, and more often than not, is silent. She struggles to interpret body language and tone of voice, and often becomes overwhelmed by her senses. Thanks to being the runt of the litter, Maplekit was deprived of nutrients in the womb, and at birth went without oxygen, though this lasted less than a minute. Because of this, she is stunted developmentally, and will be slow to develop the skills needed for survival. She is also prone to sickness, and is generally weak and fragile overall. This combination of mental and physical difficulties have combined to create a deadly issue for the little she-cat. Her parents may have contemplated abandoning her to the mercies of the forest, as her continued survival was and remains doubtful. Despite her peculiarities, Maple is a sweet, gentle kit. Playful and good natured, she can be boisterous with those she's comfortable around, though she remains reserved around strangers. She is incredibly loyal, and desperately wants to fit in and contribute, though she isn't certain how to do so. She loves her family dearly, especially her siblings, and desperately desires her parents' approval, however unlikely she is to receive it. Maple also has a peculiar penchant for hoarding baubles, especially dried flowers, leaves, rocks, feathers and animal bones. She likes to play with her collection, and will often amuse herself by batting the items around and chasing them. Though not typically a violent kitten, Maple will go after anyone who disturbs her collection, even if that cat is bigger than her. This is sure to cause conflict and lead to problems, but Maplekit is often unable to grasp the connections between her own actions and their consequences, so she may be slow to rectify her behavior. Despite this, she is eager to please and this desire can be used to compel her to cooperate, even if she doesn't understand the reasons for the desired behavior. This also makes her painfully easy to manipulate and could lead to problems later in life. History Maplekit was born the smallest of her litter and the only girl. She had two brothers, both older than her. Her father, Pouncefox and mother Sweetbriar had been parents before. These kits were their second litter. Maplekit failed to grow properly in the womb, and her small size and various difficulties marked her as an easy target for bullies. Easily cowed and intimidated, Maplekit tended to simply go along with whatever she was told. Her extreme passivity and lack of ambition have driven a wedge between her and her father that will likely not be mended. Her relationship with her mother and siblings is uncertain, but likely strained to an extent as well. Though she lives in Mothclan, her overall demeanor doesn't seem suited to the clan, and she's something of an outcast as a result.
