dra·gon·mor·ay·eel
/ˈdraɡ(ə)n, môˌrā, ēlˈ/
The dragon moray eel gets its name from the set of nostril tubes just in front of the eyes which look like horns. These tubular nostrils aid in pinpointing odor sources in the eel's hunt


Description-
Dazzling swirls of flame dance across a handcrafted canvas of black smoke fur. Long waves of fur sways around him, building upon his long frame. While the majority of his pelt is patterned with various stone and crimson hues, small accents of pristine white collect around his face, paws, and chest. His amber eyes are downturned, giving him the illusion of being eternally craving slumber. Little ‘antennas’ dot his face, giving him a resemblance to his namesake. A long wispy tail floats behind him as he strides forward, ready to face any foe. His four ears present as an interesting feature of his, enrapturing others with his mesmerizing stripes and unique appearance.

an·gler·fish
/ˈaNGɡlərˌfiSH/
The anglerfish is a bony fish named for its characteristic mode of predation, in which a modified luminescent fin ray acts as a lure for other fish.


Description-
Alluring grins bordered by protruding fangs greets those who cross the path of the esteemed Anglerkit. With furs of a smokey gray and striped with colors of charcoal and the clouds in the midst of a storm falling in little clumps, creating a bit of a messy yet intentional appearance in the eyes of others. Speaking of eyes, Anglerkit’s eyes gleam a blazing amber, the fury of the sun sitting within their pupils, so intense that they melt from the sweltering heat of their soul. As a kit they sport a more heavyset build, but as they age this will slowly shift to a more wiry and lean build, with them eventually reaching the average height of approximately 9.8in at adulthood. With the combination of their uncanny fish-like features and eye-like markings dotting along their ears and flank, this kit surely brings with them an unsettling, even possibly spooky aura in their stride.

Notable traits and deformities-
-'Antenna'
-Melted eyes
-Wirey fur
/-Polydactylism/
//-'Oni fangs'// (underbite)

cut·tle·fish
/ˈkədlˌfiSH/
The cuttlefish is a swimming marine mollusk resembling a broad squid, having eight arms and two long tentacles used for grabbing prey.


Description-
Wisps of pristine white short fur falls into delicately laid curls over Cuttlekit’s compact frame, an air of intrigue and soft demurity wafts from this kitten's attributes of a rather peculiar nature. As she waltzes into adulthood, her final height will reach about 6.7in, leaving her shorter than most of her clanmates and family. Her face is graced with three eyes of a blue hue, dashed with hints of a pale yellow, as if the sun and the sky gave her some of its soul. Two muzzles only add to her unique appearance, with one lacking that of a lower jaw, however strands of pearl hued fur weaves its way underneath her second muzzle. Her fur is patterned with white hues, dotted with various dots and shapes taking a similar hue, only with a slightly darker tincture.

       Parenting Style

          Mentality
  Sensitivity ▪ Boundaries ▪ Comfort
‘'No’ can, and will forever be, a full sentence"
        — » ⚓︎ « —
▪ Marshmumble will be adamant on letting his kits know they can be their own person and aren't bound by rules and opinions made by others. That one should burry that negativity and be who they want to be, to break tradition and break the standards; That one should not obey to another's command if they do not wish to. Marshmumble himself struggled to know who he himself was, being surrounded by rules, regulations, and standards that where all expected to be followed. He wishes to make that journey more bearable for his children.

▪ Alongside that he will also teach them the consequences of actions. That some rules are more understandable to break than others,, but that select few should be followed no matter what, due to some costing a life to break. Let it be yours or someone else's. That you should not strive to break the code just for fun, but in the case it bounds your life with chains that has all the right to be free

▪ Marshmumble will teach his children about boundaries early on in life, letting each one of them know that they have full rights to them and that they should never be stepped on or used by others. He has seen countess times of other's freedom and opinions be ignored and abused. Marshmumble refuses to let his kits go through that experience. He will not let them be judged by appearance or mobility, mental state, nor actions.

▪ religious freedom will be a prominent thing within this family. Being a cat tied to the dark forest, and in the talking stage with a TSD cat, Marshmumble will teach his kids that one should not have be subjected to the community standard and put full faith into starclan if they don't want to. Marshmumble will actively nudge his kids towards not putting their faith in anything or to the star-scaled at first. He's biased with his hatred of Starclan, yet knows the horrors of the Darkforest. The last thing he would want is to see his own blood child suffer in the the most vile place after death…

▪ Marshmumble will fight tooth and nail to provide for his kits and be there for them whenever they need just about anything. His deepest fear would be one of his children needing his help and to only be greeted by a cold seat and a lost scent. Though often times Marshmumble will feel overwhelmed and overthink his way of parenting. He has never been good with kits so he fears his children will hate him or become tainted like he is. During these times Marshmumble physically can’t look at his kits and will leave his nest, disappearing from the clan for a max of 2 days. during these times his sister, Salamandersmile, will be in charge of caring for the trio just so they arn't alone and have someone available for their needs. He may be guilty beyond measure, but will always try to bring back gifts or trinkets from his time away, he will also spend the full day with his kids and do almost anything they ask as his apology.

▪ Marshmumble will also give equal time and attention to all of his kits. He will take all three on regular check ups with the medicine cats and schedule equal times to spend with his kids. He realizes the severity of Cuttlekit's conditions but would rather lose a limb than leave Moraykit and Anglerkit behind . Though this also doesn't mean he will treat Cuttlekit like a defenseless child. He wont baby her nor ‘protect’ her from certain things… and he certainty will not force her t become a medicine cat.

▪ Marshmumble will try his best to pamper his kits, aiming to grant his children a life of comfort and stability. Though he is still a new, single father so he will make mistakes are go overboard with a few things. He may forget that sometimes younger cats have a lower pain tolerance than he, a cat who gets beat up in the dark forest daily, does and may rough house with his kit a little to hard. (he will apologize profusely and go out and get his kiddo the cat equivalent of icecream). He also isn't as empathetic or nurturing as other mothers might be, so will have a hard time being all mushy for his kids. Other times he will get a little too ahead of himself and create grand stages just to enact his most recent story for his kits. His passion is theater and writing so he decided to make a total of 30 new little wooden figures…20 of them being background characters….. He will also sometimes forget what things he has made for his kits recently and accidently make the 12th trinket of the week for his kids- its all in good spirit though

▪ Marshmumble will make it clear he will not tolerate any major violence acted by his children. That doesn't mean he wont want his kids to loose any fights though- When his kids become apprentice age, Marshmumble will dedicate a portion of time to pass down moves and tactics he learnt from the dark forest. But he will be strict on one rule. “you will never throw the first punch.” Exceling in his ability to get in the mind of others and use his words as his claws, he will teach his kids to fight with words before unsheathing their claws… though If words don't kill your enemy first, you dodge and strike back tenfold. This parenting style is also directed towards his kids… not him. If he hears of any comments floating around he wont waste a moment to taint his soul more and spill blood of another.
