Ⅰ ] INTRODUCTORY

╭ ┈ ┈ ┈ ✰ ┈ ┈ ┈ ╮
Welcome one and all to " borne of reverie " which is an application for MarlinKit! I can't wait to share all of my plans and ideas with you and hopefully convince you that I am worthy of the gorgeous MarlinKit. Also please note that if it looks like I took ideas from other applications I did not. Please please know that I looked at the applications literally the day before closing and was like, “Huh, we have similar ideas! I hope the judges don't think I copied!” /gen

Ⅱ ] ABOUT ME

╭ ┈ ┈ ┈ ✰ ┈ ┈ ┈ ╮
Hi there! I am Piano or Bird and I am between the ages of 10 and 15. I enjoy roleplaying, drawing, reading, and writing in my spare time, and I tend to draw silly little battle cats when I do draw. I have been working on my human art but I'm not yet that good, however I love seeing other people's art when on Scratch. I am a Scratch bitmap finger artist and I am quite proud of it. My art is not the best but I am always striving to improve my art, just like how I am striving to make each Generations cat more interesting and fun!
I am a multi-fandom enthusiast and some of my more prominent fandoms include Warriors, the Naturals, the Hunger Games, Six of Crows, and the Amazing Digital Circus! I like Warriors for the detailed lore, the Hunger Games for the intense, action-packed scenes, Six of Crows for the carefully crafted world, and the Amazing Digital Circus for the easter eggs and the amazing, involved, and dedicated community surrounding the fan base!

Ⅲ ] ABOUT MARLIN

> her future

╭ ┈ ┈ ┈ ✰ ┈ ┈ ┈ ╮
As a kit, she will use she / her pronouns and define as a female, she will use she / her pronouns because she doesn't know any better, and will be unlabeled due to her lack of interested in romance at her age.

As an apprentice she will begin to try she / they or different neos that are related to jokes like she / they / jest or something like that depending on how her story plays out. During this period in her life she will still be female but perhaps switch to pansexual and demiromantic as an attraction as she learns more about attractions.

As a warrior, I don't have any set plans for her besides y'know… get them to warriorhood…? But I would definitely try and give her a pronoun / neonoun that resonates within the hospitality industry / theater industry if you get what I'm trying to say, and she would most likely be demiromantic and pansexual during this phase of her life.

╭ ┈ ┈ ┈ ✰ ┈ ┈ ┈ ╮
MarlinKit enjoys what she has. She isn't afraid to stand up for what she wants and she loves the thrill of the chase. Often more than not she ends up at the bottom of a hole digging up crabs or on a rock overlooking the sea. She can't help but fall in love with the Earth around her and can see everyone clearly and truly. She is very charming and makes others want to follow her off to sea or into battle. Including this, she often pays close attention to the things around her and she loves it when others take up the challenge. Though she can appear as standoffish and cold at first, once she warms up it's hard to get her to stop. A good challenge is always fun for this kit and she can be intense and competitive when taking said challenges. Due to her detail oriented nature, MarlinKit loves to make everything absolutely perfect and make sure that nothing slips by her. A spotlight is always on this kit and she eats up the attention given to her. Even though she can appear jovial at times, she is sarcastic and rude, talking bad about others and never letting them get a say. In fact, once you make an enemy of this kit, she will hold a grudge until warriorhood and beyond, often taking numerous risks to try and sabotage the other cat by any means necessary.

Ⅴ ] FUTURE PLOT POINTS / IDEA DUMP

╭ ┈ ┈ ┈ ✰ ┈ ┈ ┈ ╮
I feel like due to her parents' very chaotic and playful nature, MarlinKit will take that upon herself to learn some tricks with pebbles and teach herself how to make them ‘disappear’ and ‘reappear’ out of thin air. She would totally be the type of person to be like ; “Got your nose!” and pull out a pebble.

She would totally look up to SoraStar and MarlinMutiny and mimic them when nobody was looking. She would also probably try and copy SeraphimStep's fun-loving personality. Despite being her own cat, she takes traits from each parent and mimics them in ways that subconsciously even she doesn't see.

Ⅶ ] RESEARCH

╭ ┈ ┈ ┈ ✰ ┈ ┈ ┈ ╮
> what am i researching?
I am researching talon cusps.

> generally, what is a talon cusp?
A talon cusp is “a common dental anomaly affecting maxillary central incisors” ( NIH.gov ; 04/20/26 ) and generally forms a t-shape with lower parts, creating a tooth that sort of looks like an eagle talon, hence the name. The more common type of talon cusp affects the incisors and the less so is the canines. It is also extremely uncommon for there to be only one tooth with a talon cusp, often there are groups of teeth with talon cusp all in one area.

> how does one get talon cusps?
There are no known causes of talon cusps, but research points to talon cusps being caused by a mixture of both environmental and genetic factors, not merely one or the other.

> how does this affect most?
Talon cusps have no known consistent affects, but some affects that have been associated with talon cusps are tongue sensitivity, difficulty chewing / swallowing, misalignment of the affected tooth / teeth and possible infections and inflammations of oral areas near the talon cusp. Talon cusps that are small generally don't cause too much trouble; you might not even notice it until your dentist points it out! On the other hand, bigger talon cusps can cause trouble speaking and eating ( in rare cases ) or gum irritation and lip / gum injuries.

> how does this affect marlin?
Marlin will have larger talon cusps and will struggle at first. As a kit, she'd often struggle with pain when chewing and struggle pronouncing “th” in some cases, often pronouncing it as “d” before learning how to pronounce it properly during apprentice hood. That is also when she will learn to chew on the parts of her mouth without talon cusps. Speaking of which, she has incisor talon cusps and chews with the back of her mouth as to avoid using her incisors whenever possible. Due to this, she will also have to avoid stringy and tough food, often opting to eat fish instead of seagull. Despite this, she mainly hunts seagulls, using her claws rather than her jaws to end the prey.
