❝ Unfortunately, I am
My own dog, my own fur companion
My own old lady on a forum
Who types in glittery decorum
Unfortunately, I take
Myself out walking every day and
I hand my legs to the feet and
I give my head to the leash ❞

ACT I ★

USER: @sakurra_arts37 / Sakura

ABOUT ME: Hello! I'm a person who loves collecting hobbies (and fandoms!), some of those include roleplaying, writing, reading, art, coding, and basically any form of art you can think of! I adore creating and imagination, pushing beyond even the sky's limits. Personality-wise though, I try my best to be helpful and kind to everyone, and also listen to those who need it, I also love teaching people about my passions!

↳ ੈ‧₊˚ ┊͙

ROLEPLAY EXPERIENCE: Ever since I was little, I would create stories and roleplays of characters from movies I watched, and sometimes my own! Also, I have been active in the Generations roleplay for over half a year, but took a long break and am only now returning. I have definitely written a lot in my lifetime as well, with over five fics with 10,000+ words and a couple with 5,000+

CHARACTER HISTORY: I've had quite a few characters, my most notable ones being Rosefeather and Lightningpaw, whom I both had around the beginning-mid of era 2 (not at the same time of course!)

ACTIVITY LEVEL: I'm fairly active, as I make sure to log in at least once every day! Probably around 5-6/10

❝ Every other day, I'm wondering
“What's a human being gotta be like?
What's a way to just be competent?”
These sweet instincts ruin my life
Every other day, I'm wondering
“Was it a mistake to try and define
What I'm certain's mad incompetence?”
These sweet instincts ruin my life ❞

KIT I'M APPLYING FOR: Mushroomkit

REASONING: I was looking through FlurryClan litters, and trying to find the kit I connected with; and, when I saw Mushroomkit, I felt a connection form. Her design is so pretty, and I love mushrooms and fungi a lot, also I like the dynamics that are possible with this family! Since I'm assuming Miragestar is going to die soon, there's possibilities that this can heavily affect Mushroomkit's life and personality.

LIKELIHOOD OF HARM: Very low, I've actually never put any of my characters at risk during kithood!

LONGEVITY: If I get Mushroomkit, I'd like to keep her until she's an old elder! Lately, I've been trying to keep my characters longer, because so far I've had to leave multiple times for personal reasons - but, I should be staying on Scratch long enough to keep her as long as possible! I'd rather Mushroomkit die of natural causes then putting her into danger, but there's always the risk of external factors.

❝ I can't smell well, or tell the time
Not K through 8, nor K dash 9
For human, grossly underqualified
For canine, grossly overqualified
I don't blend in at PetSmart
And that truth remains at the Walmart
'Cause in either case, they say to me
“What the heck is lost in aisle three?” ❞

DETAILED PERSONALITY

Mushroomkit is a really nice cat to be around, she gives and pleases everyone around her, she notices how someone feels and finds a way to fix whatever problem they're dealing with. She makes sure to be sweet, kind, helpful, prove she is worthy of affection. Even if Roo is in a toxic relationship, she wouldn't know how to cut them off without feeling awful about herself. Anything that is done selfishly, no matter how little it is, causes her to spiral into a hole of oblivion. Mushroomkit never shares this though, she doesn't want to be a “burden” on anyone.

She is co-dependent on how others view her, how they see her shapes how she views herself. Shu will always default to despising every fiber of her being though, if there is no one around to tell her otherwise. Due to this behavior, Mushroomkit questions every decision and action she makes, sometimes losing opportunities to say the right thing in time. Every thought she has, she questions, and she just can't seem to learn to trust herself. It would take a lot of time, but maybe one day she would learn to grow out of her shell and learn to accept who she is.

ROLEPLAY EXAMPLES:

self roleplay - Night-time Beauty
summary
⠀⠀Roo can't fall asleep.
contents
Mushroomkit lay off to the side, observing the pile of her siblings in the nest by hers. She usually kicked in her sleep, so she stayed away from the bunch of them in the night to avoid arguments. However, she couldn't seem to fall asleep as easy as normal, Roo's eyes refused to stay shut; and she couldn't leave the nursery either lest she wake everyone up. So, in a compromise, she was now just looking around and noting the features of the nursery.
Light from the full moon filtered in through a leafy entrance, dancing across her face in a mesmerizing way. It intrigued her, the stars, moon, all of it. Mushroomkit found the beauty to be unmatched in anything else. Her lips tilted slightly upwards into a soft smile, appreciating nature always made her feel happy. Her eyes fluttered close and she tucked her muzzle into her stomach, letting her tail wrap around her small body. With thoughts of the moon filling her head, Roo dozed off.

HOW SHE…
• smells: like all kinds of flowers
• relaxes: observing nature
• fights: Mushroom struggles with fighting, and poorly mirrors whatever technique the other cat is using or defaults to kicking and striking like a snake
• views the afterlife: She doesn't really think about the afterlife at all, it's just an afterthought to her. But honestly, when she does, she definitely believes in StarClan, as she loves stars a lot and that's kind of the only reason she does (and talking to dead relatives is nice in her opinion) but if anyone were to say they believed in something else she'd definitely agree with them no matter what
• views the clans: Roo loves the clans! She cares for them all deeply and loves all three clans equally, she finds it so sweet that cats can live together in such a synchronized and beautiful way
• views herself: …
• view her kin: Mushroomkit loves her kin, and will protect them fiercely, and she will always make sure to keep up her relationship with them no matter how far apart they can be.

OTHER TRIVIA
this is character's…
• love language: this is a difficult matter for Roo, as she doesn't exactly know what love is to her. She finds it extremely complex.
• attraction: kindness! She loves any cat that is kind.
• sanctuary: during her kithood, there was a massive storm, and she found this tree inside camp that had very long leaves and was low to the ground. Ever since then, she's loved that place and going back to it. This is the main spot she takes her time to weave flowers and the such.

FIRST IMPRESSION
• notable features: The first thing you might notice when looking at Mushroomkit is her leopard-like patterns, or her golden eyes, or the sweet face she always has
• voice claim: Why am I thinking of Miku lol - it's canon now Roo is Hatsune Miku

FEARS
• Athazagoraphobia - fear of being forgotten

❝ Just watch me, moving far away
Nobody even knows my name, and
No one suspects that I'm not fine, and
Nobody outs behavioral Frankenstein
Just look at Victor in LA
And Syd with the “Y” at U of A
And all the majors at the labels
Rebooting soon as I am able ❞

IDEA/PLOT DUMP

Ok, so this is just the area where I ramble about my over-analysis of Imposter Syndrome by Sydney Gish and how it correlates to this application and Mushroomkit - You see, the song Imposter Syndrome is about someone who seems to be a human but treated like a canine, and possibly dislikes themself. How I took this, is making Roo a very submissive dog-like character who is treated as a fancy pet just there to give emotional support and never actually treated like she has real feelings and is a cat. And then there's the line “these sweet instincts, ruin my life” which can mean that everyone views her as sweet but it genuinely is ruining her life because Mushroom puts everyone over her and never takes the time to be herself. She is molded to every person, exactly what they want to see. She views herself from the perspective of others, and it destroys her. But no one seems to care… not in her world that is.
