iii - ✦ ~ CINDER APPLICATION ~ ✦
- Artist TOS: Asked, no answer yet.
- Why this kit: Cinder's fur gradually turning ginger is a really unique and beautiful aspect that I really appreciate. If I owned a Pok3mon gym, it'd be fire (favorite pok3mon is Talonflame). If I could have any elemental power, I'd choose fire. I've always been drawn towards it, the flames licking at things, its beauty and warmth yet its ability to consume and destroy.
- Kit's Personality and Future Identity:
DETAILED:
Her father's encouragement of adoration for the world would seep into her; she'd have a special interest in light, as it dapples through the trees, as it bounces off and curves off water. Cinder'd be very competitive, stemming from her flaws (below), and love playing. She'd love sunbathing, exacerbating her brightening fur.
MINDSET/FLAWS: Her competitive nature would make her unpleasant to play games with, though she'd be less competitive after critisism. Her mindset would change over time, like a fire- kindling, ablaze, and eventually fizzling out. As a kit, she'd feel neglected for a while, always trying to get Gelidchaser's attention, sensing his discomfort and guilt from a young age, but not recognizing she was absorbing it, or why he was upset. She'd blame herself, feeling as if she had done something wrong. This leads to his eventual smothering love feeling fake, or like it'd leave as soon as she did something wrong, causing her to feel the need to be perfect. When Gelidchaser opens up, she'll open up as well, and the family will help her understand herself and her father, learning to doubt everything less over time (it'll affect her still, but she'll learn to handle it). She'd have anger issues, it having a firey aspect to it would really fit the theme, something like a fire deep within her; gathering steam over time like kindling, smoke building pressure until a blaze rages out. Hidden hurt towards and from her father from his accidental negligence, her ability to feel and consume his guilt. Learning of her past, guilt and rage bubbling..

SIMPLIFIED:
- She'd be fascinated by the world, encouraged by her father, specifically interested in light and how it reflects off water, dapples through leaves, etc.
- Cinder's self-doubt and guilty anger stems from miscommunication and an absorption of heat (guilt) from her father, like fire.
- Her mindset and anger would start like kindling, build ablaze, then fizzle to ash and embers once the family talked through their issues- still there, but dowsed.
- She'd be competitive and strive for perfection.
- She'd love sunlight and greenleaf. Her favorite color would be orange, prey would be rabbit, and activity would be sparring or sunbathing.
- She can be snappy, but she can also be warm and loving.

- Plot/Family ideas: I think sorts of clan-wide disasters would be super cool, unsure how realistic that is to actually be allowed, but global warming based disasters like hurricane, forest fire, flood, and earthquake would be really cool to dabble with.

iv - ✦ ~ TERRA APPLICATION ~ ✦
- Artist TOS: Design ownership transferred after 20 moons only
- Why this kit: Terra's design is super sick, and I really love nature and plants. Honestly, I think he'd make a great medicine cat, depending on the trajectory of the litter's lore, and I'd love to play a medicine cat sometime!!
- Kit's Personality and Future Identity:
DETAILED:
His father's encouragement of adoration for the world would seep into him; he'd find incredibly fascination in the dirt, plants, any insects- as a kid, he could be found eating grass, rolling in mud, and playing with moths. He'd decently bottle up his emotions, coming off as calm and unshakeable. He'd be the physically largest and strongest of the bunch, a silent, powerful soldier. He'd specialize in brute force and ramming rather than slicing and dicing. Yet, out of combat, he'd be seen loafed, watching ants crawl around. His relationship with his father would be really understanding and caring, appreciative of all he's done for them. He'd adopt his father's values easily, and try to ground everyone around him if they were upset. In the future, he'd meet someone he could completely break down in front of, his stature crumbling, capable of confiding in and loving them, yet still strong enough to support and protect.
SIMPLIFIED:
- Stable, strong, and grounded. Fascinated by plants, mud, and insects.
- Stability stems from an urge/desire to protect and be the foundation others can build upon. Feels his purpose is to serve and assist others.
- Eventually finds someone he can crumble and confide in.
- He'd love mud, newleaf and leaffall. His favorite color would be green, prey would be voles, and activity would be hunting/gathering or mudbathing/digging.
- He'd be calm, collected, and strong, yet powerful in battle and vulnerable only to one cat.

- Plot/Family Ideas: Specific adorations towards specified element, so for Terra, anything with the ground or plants. For cinder, light and warmth.

Terra ☼ AMAB ☼ 13.5 inches ☼
★ youngest twin (to cinder) research ☼ polydactylism
RESEARCH:
Polydactylism is a condition (from birth) of extra phalanges, or fingers/toes. This is caused by genetics or genetic mutations, and can range from small extra tissue to entire extra digits.
Commonly on the front paws but can also affect back paws. Polydactly is generally harmless but appendages not touching the ground can get ingrown nails, which could be bothersome. Extra toes can offer more dexterity and paw usage, but require more nail maintenance!
