BOBBIE x DUKE (NPC)
-
THEIR STORY: ✦
☆ this story may be subject to moderate change, but the core storyline will always remain!
A fairytale romance that could never last, Bobbie and Duke knew each other their entire lives. Born mere days apart, she a moggy with a pedigree somewhere along the line and he a pure-bred Maine Coon, kept by a breeder and given to an older relative, the two grew up alongside each other in massive Twoleg nests with their gray-haired human companions. They live permanently entwined, as close as 'friends' can be; Bobbie is unable to imagine a future without him in it, and he surely agrees (right?), and the shecat quickly develops an apprentice-aged puppy crush that blossoms into something more as the pair approach adulthood proper.
After moons of struggling with her feelings, Bobbie finally accepts that she can't change them, and subsequently works up the nerve to confess to her best friend. He accepts, saying he's long reciprocated the feelings, and the two agree to finally be companions as mates and seem set to live out the rest of their days in blissful happiness as kittypets and childhood sweethearts. Sadly, Duke's elderly housefolk pass away within hours of each other; the tom convinces Bobbie to elope into the wilderness with him. She's reluctant but smitten, sadly leaving behind her own Twoleg and stealing away in the night.
Their life is difficult, but Duke's Maine Coon size and insistence on doing all the work keeps the pair in relatively good conditions and happiness seems to be their continuing destiny despite their hardships. That is, until she falls pregnant; initially joyful, she tells him immediately—only to receive an odd reaction, with the tom saying he needs 'time to think', but surely he's just considering the weight of their new future, right? This turns out to be a whole lot of time to think, as Duke vanishes within a few sunrises of her announcement, leaving Bobbie alone. She's unfamiliar with her wild new home, left adrift and unskilled since Duke had cared for her until now.
Unfortunately, the queen is ill-equipped for the wilderness, and barely manages to survive alone for some time before being attacked by one of the hunger-wracked wild dogs. Empty-bellied herself and without any battle training, Bobbie is severely injured; the end feels imminent. That is, until she is discovered by a SkyClan patrol; returning to their home, her wounds treated, and finding out she is still with kits despite the shock of the attack. For now, the queen is doing her best to make a home in SkyClan, one that will be good for her kits to come.
SLOTS:
✦ accepted kits will receive a semi-chibi styled fullbody done by me!
— open
— open
— may be added if needed
-
— I will not be super strict on activity, but I'd like 8-10 posts per month minimum (more is obviously welcomed). Bobbie is one of my more active characters and these kits will be a huge part of her life, so I would very much like the kits to be relatively active! That said, I understand that life happens; if you will be inactive for an extended period of time due to IRL reasons, let me know. If you are inactive for over a month without warning, I reserve the right to rehome your kit.
— Kits should stay in SkyClan until warrior age unless for good plot reasons, in which case please contact me about it OOCly. The kits are not death fodder and I would prefer if they didn't die until apprenticehood at least (making it to warriorhood preferred), although once again this can be discussed with me OOCly.
— This is not FCFS; I will be choosing from applicants on June 10th, with the kits being born *shortly after, unless there are not enough applicants to fill the minimum amount of slots. The kits will start at 2 moons and age realistically on the 15th of each month.
— The litter will have 2-3 kits depending on interest/applications.
— Applications are FFA, as long as you follow the genetics provided by Floppie (thanks Floppa!); birth defects and disabilities are allowed if researched well and played correctly, but genetic mutations not listed in the genetics are not.
— These kits should not have any angst related to Bobbie's treatment of them as a mother! She will be an attentive, loving mother and these kits will be her entire world; feel very free to have angst related to their father, however, as Bobbie will dodge this topic, consciously or not.

Kits can be black, black tabby, black smoke, or silver tabby

BOBBIE GEN 01 x DUKE NPC; KITS WILL BE GEN 02

BOBBIE'S NAMING LIST:
— Nearly any nature-related names; the names below are just suggestions, feel free to get creative! Bobbie will generally not choose very militaristic or 'scary' names for her kits (ex. Bonekit, Gravekit), however, and there will not be names with cruel connotations. I can't think of any legal names that would be related, but nothing related to the father's name. Additionally, Bobbie will not name especially large kits directly after their size (ex. Tall, Large, Big ...) and will not name any kits dog-related names.
— Whether you apply with a listed name or not, I encourage checking the census to make sure there's not a double in SkyClan.
— Animals: Ravenkit, Crowkit, Starlingkit, Magpiekit, Pheasantkit, Peregrinekit, Quailkit, Erminekit, Doekit
— Flowers: Lupinekit, Ruekit, Lavenderkit, Violetkit, Asterkit, Iriskit, Boragekit
