FENNELKIT ;
➥ named fennel- for the spike - petaled wildflower that grows jutting from nearby meadowlands, as well as a subtle nod to his windclan father, houndthistle. dubbed milkshake by his twoleg, for his cream tones.
— sootspritespark x houndthistle + mason / sibling to thistlekit, tbd, tbd
— kittypet kit, future daylight warrior ; three months old
vc. speaks in a coyly slow and monotonous, nasally tone. short and simple wording, as if speaking to a live audience at all times ; responses will always be notably delayed.
— once old enough, will wear a rainbow - striped collar with a large red bow at the back of his neck. heartchart / pinterest / toyhouse
born with semi - severe manx syndrome. completely tailless and missing the lowest notch of spinal vertebrae, fennelkit will experience chronic pain and progressive weakness in his hind limbs. due to this he will forever walk with a ‘ bunny hop ‘ gait.
consistant symptoms: joint pain, hip pain, poor jumping and running ability inconsistent symptoms: inflamed joints, stiffness
— will roll for pain & severity —
† . strangely built curled fawn mitted tom with cobalt eyes 𖤣 𖥧 smells like playdough and bitter iron. strings unravel ; marionetted boy, all placated smiles and heavy, bashful eyes. at birth he is of downy, dove - colored fur — color tauntingly similar to the rustling overgrowth of tall grass rippling lazily through the moors. each cream brown strand curls sleek into glossy, well kept rings of shaded almost - mocha flowing loose and wispy around cherubically rounded cheeks. almond luminaries settle into a dreamy powder blue as he ages, baby pink lids heavy with fur. towering, tufted ears settle neatly atop the curve of his skull, pink bunny nose framed handsomely by long, curling whiskers.
much like sootspritespark, he will never quite lose his baby fat ; hidden beneath his thick ruff of curls he is built of his fathers long, stocky frame and his mothers heft. at mid apprenticeship he will be something akin to a lamb : wide - eyed and wooly - furred, tufted alabaster paws curling thick claws from all six of his thick toes. the coils around his chest and neck are particularly thick, a near pseudo - mane nerve wrackingly similar to his crossclan father. as if to add insult to cosmic injury, a single, forth - sitting tooth settles visible on his rubbery lip — a true saving grace that no one should suspect them.
his hips sit at an awkward angle beneath the thick of his pelt, rounded short at the spine where his tail would have nestled. as a result of his condition, lupine will often favor a single hind limb to keep himself balanced — without a tail, this proves difficult more often than not. clumsy and poor on his paws, he tends to walk with a slow, sure, almost prancing hop ; despite this, he holds himself tall and with confidence, hazy beneath his ever smug expression.

MANNERISMS — & — PROSE STUDY
prose is meant to instill the image of a children’s show — forcefully tampering dark, swirling emotions behind a serene smile and bright, blinding colors. as a result, fennelkit is morbidly idealistic and self interested. instilled with a strong sense of connection to starclan and believes everything is predetermined, as if their ancestors were playing with their lives. gives himself fully to religion and subsequent near worship of the land around him ( describes nature with excess zeal ; oversaturated color descriptions, dream - like wording ), finds warriors fascinating and his own kittypet heritage to be just what it is — outside of starclan. shuns the weak - willed with a distinct distaste for the more timid kittypets ( internalized hatred ), that may evolve into full disdain for any house pet. too in tune with what others feel and despite instinctual attempts to help, he tends to become incredibly disgusted, uncomfortable and avoidant at any expression of negative emotion shown in his presence, like seeing someone else throw up in public.
speaks with slooow. abrupt. changes in inflection and tooone?[/i] vocally will stay g rated, but prose is a free for all — portrays most expression through his eyes and brow, as his features tend to stay set in a gentle, close - lipped smile. however, his eyes tend to narrow, widen excessively, squint, etc. his pupils are always dilated. punctuates his words with “ friend, pal, any flowery nicknames theyll allow. “
self description: dreamy, flamboyant, serene, hazy, downy, curled, heavy - eyed, blown pupils.
preferred words, positive: splendid, bright, sunny,
preferred words, negative: wide - eyed, staring, heavy breathing, bristled, oozing, reeking, dull, rotting.
canonically blows kisses to say goodbye. might throw a wink in there every now and then.

at the appropriate age fennel will be adopted and loved by taylor berkley, she / her. twenty four year old vet tech who’s former rescue had passed shortly before sootspritespark had fallen pregnant, a friend and neighbor of his mothers twoleg. absolutely spoils him, the type of twoleg to bring him to get starbucks for a pupcup before work every day ( surprise his meds are in there ).
& . KITTENHOOD / positive development, aiming to explore and learn about warriors once his mother introduces them. . fennelkit is born into skyclan with a visible spinal deformity. no one seems to know what it is, and it doesn’t impede him, and so he lives his blind, deaf days with another queen — until he begins to move, and that, in itself, is difficult. he hops, not unlike the prey his true father chases over the moors. ≠. either when the time comes to meet his mothers twoleg or when his condition has progressed enough for sootsprite to considerrr taking him to them for care, fennelkit will be given to a nearby neighbor with ties to a local veterinary clinic. +. adored instantly, he is named milkshake — though his twoleg calls him by so many cutesy names it never quite sticks in his head. he is spoiled and it will show in delicately groomed curls, milky rivulets of shining waves settling neat and thick against his stocky figure.
& . APPRENTICEHOOD / initial negative development. split route, can be positive or negative. -. agitated over his kittypet life, after facing troubles lupine will decide to fully move into skyclan and leave his twoleg behind. unfortunately, he needs human intervention to lessen his condition to functional means. -. someone in passing will tell him that there is no shame in accepting help, and lupine will be enraged. despite his worsening pain and increasingly snapping attitude, he refuses to go back to his twoleg. ≠. gets increasingly dirty and feral as a result of his pain, until someone he cares for or an authority figure takes him aside and tells him to go home. +. defeated and upset, he goes home at last — but his twoleg is so thrilled to see him it takes him by surprise. ( learn to accept help? or develop a bigger disdain for kittypet life? )
& . WARRIORHOOD /
• probably has a cute little doll - like curl right over his little forehead. seems almost too neat at times.
