A LONGHAIRED BLUE TABBY WITH DARK EYES
carrying unknown

in a word, the color of her father transposed on the frame of her mother. blue tabby mackerel stripes go down the kitten's entire body. light spaces can be seen around her chest, mouth, and eyes, but there is not a speck of white on her. the fur has a tan or reddish tinge around her underbelly and cheeks. her eyes are a dark amber color. her fur is long and silky and requires intense grooming. her body is thin and slight like any good shadowclan cat's. she grows up to be quite beautiful and walks as if she owns the ground on which she stands. her scent is determined primarily where she resides—for now, she smells of nursery milk and kitten fluff.

• the world is hers. it alone is for her to mold and keep. a simple thought but it guides the foundation of her character. her sense of purpose is warped by an early tragedy but on the outside she will tell you it has not affected her at all. in cases like this where it is so personal and the burden of guilt is close to touch, tanglekit choses to lie and live in the lie. just because this or that happened to you, doesn't mean you get to act that way. with this early idea formed by her kithood, tanglekit turns away from concepts of community goods, social influences, and instead turns inwardly toward herself, sowing the seeds for a deeply individualistic and selfish character

  externally: she is an energetic and charismatic cat who enjoys having fun—perhaps too much fun. she exaggerates her emotions and enjoys dramatizations. in a way, pretending things are larger than what they really are help to hide the gaping holes she refuses to acknowledge in herself. she is seen by her classmates as cheerful, insightful, but never a "yes man" and always ready to counter an idea she does not agree with.
  
  internally: her only way out is up—she struggles to ask for help or in admitting she was wrong, preferring to do things on her own. what she truly wishes for is a point in her life where she can truly say she is in control of her life. in a clan, she interprets this as becoming leader, so tanglekit arms herself with strong ambitions and—depending on the trajectory of the plot—will come to either resent her father or admire him.

• a quiet and thoughtful individual, one might first think whisperkit meek or anxious– neither of these are true. he inherited his father's intense case of rbf and his mother's levelheaded confidence. together they form a cat who does not need to speak to make his opinions of anyone known. theatrical, almost, yet wholly serious in every display. with few outlets for his emotions, many of his clanmates may also consider him to be well-adjusted. again, unfortunately, they are not quite correct.

Spoiler: LAURELKIT FINISHED APPLICATION

GENERAL INFORMATION
NAME Laurelkit
Son of Halfshade + Smogmaw
TBD moons [TBD aging]
Transgender male [he/him]

DESCRIPTIONS
APPEARANCE Laurel is a long-haired blue torbie tom with low white and blue eyes. A mix of cream and blue, Laurel takes traits from both his mother and father. His blue eyes are noticeably dull and seem to wander, never staying in one place for too long. Though not particularly unkind, Laurel sports the same chronic RBF that his father does; this, with his eyes, often gives the impression that Laurel is distant or upset with everything going on around him. He works overtime to make sure that his pelt is pristine, not a hair out of place or a speck of dirt anywhere. Despite his expression, Laurel has also inherited his mother's beauty, and one could say it's a shame that such handsomeness is wasted on such a man as Laurel.

PERSONALITY At a far distance, Laurel comes off as very charming and charismatic, similar to how his mother was; but it takes only a closer look to realize that all that charm is a facade, put on to make himself more palatable to his Clanmates, strangers, and acquaintances. Anyone with the stomach to tolerate the "real" Laurel is met with a dry-talker who has a low sense of humor. He experiences and shows obsessive-compulsive traits, such as being unable to go about his day should he find anything physically out of place, and, much like his father, Laurel has a tendency to hoard unnecessary trinkets and baubles, unable to part with them.
As a kit, and through some of his apprentice moons, Laurel is very unsociable, finding it hard to spend time with his littermate or older relatives without being persuaded or bribed by his guardian. As an apprentice, Laurel is very disinterested in training, preferring to keep to himself and 'take care' of his appearance; again, this is far from vanity, though it can be interpreted as such by those that don't know Laurel very well. He doesn't avoid training so much as focus on certain aspects that won't get him what he deems as 'dirty', and as with the vanity aspect, his refusal to do certain tasks might be seen as him being whiny or stubborn.

DEVELOPMENT
- When it comes to Smogmaw, Laurel has trouble connecting the tom to being the same as his father. He's spent long moons while Smogmaw was on the journey without a father, and should he return, Laurel might keep his distance and regard Smogmaw more as a legend rather than a real person.
- While he's a warrior, Laurel might have the opportunity to speak with someone he trusts and start to get his obsessive-compulsive traits under control so that he can better enjoy life without having to pick and choose what he does and how he looks. I suppose this could be considered therapy development, but it doesn't have to be considered so clinical as much as it is a friend giving advice.

EXTRA INFORMATION
Future suffix possibilities: -smog, -shadow, -half, -whisper, can be named ICly

[eezy]

SMOKYKIT or ASHENKIT or GRAVELKIT or THORNKIT : he/him ; afab transmasc – On paper, the kit is the spitting image of his mother, a dilute torbie with long, silken fur and a face halved between soft blue tabby and amber, with heterochromatic eyes to perfectly mis-match. But, even with all these boxes checked, it will be immediately clear to anyone who knew Halfshade that her small clone's visual similarities to her end there. His appearance, in comparison to the memory of her unique vibrancy, seems dull and muted, grey and beige tabby patched carelessly upon his body and his eyes pale and darting. He lives as a hollowed mirror of her, lacking her mesmerizing confidence or self-assured poise. The kit prefers to slink along the periphery, tail never held higher than a 180-degree angle from his body and eyes shifting away from prolonged contact. He is conventionally attractive, by the blessing of his mother's genes, but there is a dreariness in his aura that offsets any potential inherent magnetism, perhaps he'd gotten that from his father.
─ (adult) voiceclaim: L Lawliet (Death Note)

─ x moons: SMOGMAW xx HALFSHADE ; sibling to SWANPAW, APPLEPAW, VALERIANPAW, GARLICPAW, and ___ ; kit of shadowclan

✦ envious, fatalistic, sullen, sensitive, attention-seeking, defensive, prone to outbursts, people-pleasing, generous, hedonistic, intelligent, clingy, dramatic

─ At the surface, he may come off as something of a shit-stirrer, disagreeing with peers on impulse and playing devil’s-advocate for the sake of riling others up and drawing attention. He’ll poke fun at and provoke cats to draw out a reaction, only to scurry away and insist that “he wasn’t being serious" and to, "relax, you’re being craaazy” when someone comes to get their bite back. When faced with real confrontation, however, he will shrink away and deflect, and he will have trouble legitimately defending himself.
─ The kit has a rather fatalistic approach to life, often feeling out of control and at the whim of a destiny that has been predetermined. He will come off surprisingly jaded for his age, and almost completely lacks optimism.
─ His moods seem to be at the mercy of the wind, shifting constantly and turning sour at the drop of a hat. Those closest to him will unfortunately face the brunt of his outbursts, especially his siblings and his father, who he is most sensitive to the judgment of. He will spend much of his time appealing to them and trying to cuddle his way into their good graces but snap and self-destruct at any perceived rejection from them, cursing and insulting them only to return the next day as if nothing happened.
─ One may recognize the hollowed-out pit that sits unmoved within himself, it only drives his every action and shadows every thought. Completely taken by a spirit of envy, he is possessed by want. His wants do not manifest in material objects, though, they reside largely in the realm of other cats. He wants others' skills, their appearances, their passions, their friends, to the point he may not stop to consider why it is he wants so badly what he cannot have.
─ Most notably, he covets the affection of others most, longing for an uninhibited and unconditional love he assumes to have missed from the passing of his mother.
─ He regards the stars with the same hot-and-cold embrace that he holds everyone else with, flipping between cursing them for their impersonal, twinkling disregard for him and his needs and other times sending crooning prayers and begging for their forgiveness.
─ He wants so badly to be imbued with the grace of his idolized, unreachable mother, to be someone filled with poise and worthy of unquestionable respect, but such a thing is difficult for someone like him—who is a small boat governed by the oceanic tide of ever-shifting emotion. He holds a lot of resentment for himself, his impulsiveness and ill-temperedness lead him to be a pain in the ass to be around, to say the least, which is unfortunate when all he really wants is to be liked.
─ As he grows older and learns to get ahold of himself and his emotions, he will attempt to craft a persona for himself that's worthy of respect, someone cool-tempered and confident, perhaps sarcastic but no longer explosive. Unfortunately, as a cat raised in Shadowclan from birth, he will not have the privilege of making a good first impression, so his carefully constructed mask may be quite easy to read through by that point.

✦ motifs and aesthetics.
─ whispers exchanged over library books, fog rolling in over marsh, a dropped glass that bounces once... twice... before shattering, waterlogged swan feathers, the whistle of a tea kettle, worn photographs of a woman you've never met, stopping to make a wish before blowing out a candle, being alone at the bus stop wondering if you've gotten yourself lost, throwing your diary into the fireplace in a fit of frustration, the gnawing feeling that you've been misunderstood by someone with no way of rectifying it
─ playlist ! & pinterest !

✦ misc.
─ can be named icly ! i like the names i've listed as smogmaw-related names, but any name associated with him is preferred
─ (if allowed) he will have a very tumultuous relationship with smogmaw, seemingly simultaneously longing for his affection and approval while also explicitly resenting him and assuming that he dislikes him for one reason or another. This may be eventually resolved in adulthood !
─ much of his plot and development plans are centered around his turbulent and unhealthy relationships with those around him and thus he's subject to changes through ic development!
─ artistic reference by tropics

WISHKIT HALFSHADE XX SMOGMAW​

" AT ONCE DIVINE AND FURTHER FLAWED "
TRANS, HE / HIM | KIT OF SHADOWCLAN | XX MOONS
alternative names:: glowkit, dreamkit, halfkit

LH BLUE TORBIE W/ LOW WHITE, YELLOW EYES
Taking after his mother, Wishkit's pelt is painted in broad strokes of a pale blue and pinkish-cream, large patches of each intermingling with one another. Spots spill throughout the broader area, little splotches of these colors that seem to be drops from the paintbrush that fell on the finished canvas. Clouds of white float across the sunrise-esque background of his body, puffy and soft, breaking up the two-tone palette that makes up the rest of him. His fur length compliments this well, long and thick in a way that always will keep him warm. It covers a body just as soft, more built for strength with the weight on his bones. His paws are big as well, a strong base for a strong cat. His eyes are a bright yellow, stark and bright compared to the diluted colors that surround them.

Nervous is the word that can be best used to describe Wishkit. Worried about everything, fearing what could happen if a mistake is made. Even small decisions are a difficult obstacle for him. He’s unsure of his place in the world, unsure of who he is and what he wants to do with his life, and it makes it hard for him to figure out how he should go about things even in the simplest of events. This is something that tends to make him rely on his siblings, both littermate and the older ones. Often he can be found going to them for help with things, or even if he’s just feeling a bit anxious and wants the security and safety of being with someone he knows and loves. He relies heavily on them, and is rather clingy in his affection as a result.

• will discover his gender identity at a young age, and be sure of it rather quickly, so i would likely refer to him with he/him right away
• with the loss of a parent, he is likely to be unsure of his place in the world. even if he knows what others want of him, he’ll likely always question whether that is what halfshade would want for him, and will lead to him second guessing most things he does

BASIC RELATIONS & INTERACT HISTORY MISCELLANEOUS

• APPEARANCE​

  Thick-furred blue torbie with white and sunlit ice eyes. It becomes apparent very quickly that Shadekit is easy on the eyes. In spite of this, it seems as though parts of her body are mismatched. Instead of being “split in half”, as her mother was, it is as though someone tried to stick a bunch of puzzle pieces together. Patches of cream tabby seemingly from nowhere, especially on her face, chest, and sides. Her lovely blue tabby fur helps her appearance to seem a bit “calmer”. The white upon her body is far more cohesive. The lower part of her face, her chest, underbelly, some of her tail, and paws, have varying degrees of white. Her fur is long, silky and feathery. While soft, it requires an immense amount of grooming and upkeep in order to not become matted. Her paw pads and nose are speckled to varying degrees. Her eyes are that of “sunlit ice”, of orange fading into blue. Of warmth fading into the cold.
  

  ⤷Long-haired blue mackerel torbie with low white and heterochromia. Reference.​

  

  
  

  MENTALITY​

  the “fool” / theatrical / perfectionistic / enigmatic / farcical / manipulative / selfless / inquisitive. Being underestimated is a powerful tool, and one that Shadekit used to her advantage. They act dramatic at times, in an attempt to make people laugh — perhaps by tossing out a bad pun or falling on their face in the mud on purpose. Even so, everything they do must be perfect. This ranges from playing to hunting to the performances and façades they put on for others. In spite of their manipulative actions, they are deeply troubled and believe that by being a comedian, they can be a ray of sunshine and bring happiness to others. They are curious about many things, asking questions. Furthermore, they have a savior complex in no small amount. They need to save the most amount of people they possibly can, even if it costs her everything. They deem wanting anything as “selfish” for themselves, but if others want anything, then it is just in their nature. Because their mother passed, they will become interested in medicine and herbs, at least at a basic level. As time goes on, they make become far colder and detached from life in an attempt to stifle any emotions they deem as feelings they should not have.​
