.: MUD & ICE :.
Mud was an orphan, raised along the river by his older brother and constantly stealing prey from loners just to keep his belly full. Ice was a sheltered barn cat, always wanting more out of life than just catching plump mice and sleeping on beds of straw. It was love at first sight when their two families joined Rain's group in the pine forest. Well, at least it was on Mud's end! As a young bachelor surrounded by competition, he did everything he could to win the beautiful calico over, from romantic outings to showers of compliments. It seemed to work, for the two ended up becoming adoring mates and welcomed their first kit into the world. They were the picture perfect family.
It was just before the Great Battle when Ice discovered she was pregnant with their second litter. With Lily nearing adulthood, it seemed perfect timing if not for the danger in the forest. Fortunately for them, Mud returned from the war; their family wouldn't be torn apart. When the mention of five clans sprung from the mouths of cats, it didn't take much convincing for the family to decide where they wanted to live. Mud was eager to return to the place he grew up, and Ice was excited to raise their kits on a protected island free from predators. It truly is a happily ever after for this young family!
RULES
- This litter is not first-come, first serve. Applications will close on August 10th. There will be four kits in this litter - one is reserved for Fernkit, one of their original kits from a past site. The three other slots will be open.
- We will be choosing based on the applications as well as the roleplayers' activity with their current characters. There is no set form - you can apply with as much or as little information as you'd like!
- This litter will follow realistic genetics, which can be found below. No genetic mutations are allowed, but birth defects are!
- We reserve the right to rehome any kits who fall inactive for over a month. Please only apply if you are confident you can remain active with the kit, as we really want to avoid rehoming!
- These kits must remain in RiverClan until warriorhood. After that, it is heavily preferred they remain in RiverClan, but plots may pull them elsewhere and that's okay!
- No angsty backstories from their youth are permitted; Ice is a very attentive mother and would be raising them with love. Their father and older sister are similarly caring.
- Birth date, aging rules, and starting age have not yet been decided, but as soon as we decide on those the applicants will be updated!
- Have fun! These are your characters and we really want to see how they flourish and grow.

Mud and Ice
RELATIONS
Mud and Ice are both Gen 1, making this litter Gen 2.
Mud and Ice's firstborn daughter is Lily - she is this litter's older sister.
Mud has an older brother, Clay, who will be the kits' paternal uncle.
Ice has two younger brothers, one also named Clay, and the other named Beetle, who will be the kits' maternal uncles.
NAMING
It is heavily preferred that applicants choose names that will be most realistic for the parents to choose. Prefixes already used by currently active characters should try and be avoided!
Ice will most likely choose short, simple names based around what she first sees after they're born from within the nursery. For example, she will be naming Fernkit.
She would also choose the name Pinekit for the home her family fought for during the Great Battle.
Mud will choose any of these names.
Iciclekit, Rimekit - for their mother, Ice
Rainkit - Mud idolized Rain a lot
Dark-kit, Scarletkit, Gingerkit, Firekit, Sandkit, Lightkit, Turtlekit, Frondkit, Crescentkit - for the kit's general color, appearance, or something else special about them - or no reason at all! He just likes these names!
Lotuskit - most likely to be used on a kit resembling Lily
Rock-kit, Boulderkit, Steepkit, Cliffkit, Mountainkit, Valleykit - strong, stable names
