AN EMPTY SPACE | WINDCLAN SHPR REHOMING
-
From an early age, periwinklebreeze has been certain of his dreams - wanting to start a family of his own, raise kits just as his own mother raised him. Though he's been through many hardships over the moons and watched his family shatter and rebuild itself, that goal has never changed. From kitsitting and helping out around the nursery even as an apprentice to taking on a share of the responsibility for his nieces and nephews after ebonylight fled to join duskclan, he'd gotten plenty of moons of experience under his belt. Now, the only thing that stood in his way was a lack of partner - and his disinterest in the opposite sex.
Starclan seemed to be on his side for once, however. A friendship made across boundary lines, Peri had met Michael at one of the hardest times of his life, forming a tentative friendship while dealing with the fallout of sunstrides rebellion against sootstar and her loyalists. In the uncertainty of things, at first it'd simply been nice to meet someone so far removed from the drama. Of course, things had quickly spiraled from there - more border meetings, sharing conversations and prey as the moons passed (a welcome break from Peri's newfound responsibilities) until their friendship was cemented.
And then the unexpected happened - Michael found himself pregnant, with no one else to turn too and no way to raise the kits himself. To periwinklebreeze, it had never been a question at all - of course he'd help, of course he'd take the kits as his own. They were friends - and he'd always wanted a family. And so he returns to windclan with a pile of kittens in tow, tight lipped but determined to raise them as his own despite any protest, finding help in the paws of one of the nursery queens he'd once kit sat for.
Two moons have since passed, and in that time windclan has suffered hardship - a fire sweeping through the clan and ravaging the territory. The kits, queens, and those injured - Peri and kits included - retreat to riverclans beech copes until starclan at last sends rain to cool the flames. In the midst of the aftermath, Periwinklebreeze is assigned full queen duties, as punishment for bringing more mouths for the clan to feed. Peri doesn't seem to mind much however - taking easily to his new duties and roe as WindClans first AMAB queen, and relishing in the fact he now stays with his kits full time.

— These kits can not be killed off until they are 12 moons old or have received their warrior names (whichever comes first). This is a very hard set rule, and will not be changed even for plot purposes, sorry. During this time frame, it is highly preferred and encouraged that they remain within windclan, although other plots can be discussed.
— Activity requirement is five IC posts per month - enough to keep them at casual activity and on the census, although I'm not going to be super strict about it if they fall of the census itself as long as you keep to the post requirement. If you have been ICly inactive for over two months your slot may be subject to rehoming. If you know in advance you will go inactive or feel the need to drop them before that point, please dm me (kitty-kat-) beforehand to discuss options.
— Names must be taken from the list provided - Peri is actually quite picky about names. There is allowances for similar names, just be sure to ask (or pick a backup option) to be safe.
— This litter is not FCFS. Applications will close 06/15, with the choosing date on 06/16. Kittens are currently four moons old aging realtime on the 1st of each month.
— While Peri will never hide the fact these kits are adopted and not his by blood, he will not be telling the kits the specifics of their origins until they are apprentices; at which point it is likely he will trust them to keep it secret and will bring them to visit Michael. This does not, however, mean they will be treated any different than as if they were his biological kits - he loves and treasures them dearly.
— Please avoid plots based on parental neglect/abuse/issues/etc. on Peri's end. These kits quite literally mean the world to him, there will be absolutely no bad parenting, emotional/physical neglect or abuse, favoritism, or trauma of any kind - this is meant to be a happy litter after all. I am not however, opposed to drama based on peri's overwhelming love for these kits - he may well come across as overbearing, overprotective, or even outright spoiling these kits in his attempt to raise them with care and love.
