- Scalekit is born into the world with a symphony of purrs and mewls, nestled warmly beside his mother, the river's blessing evident in his hearty presence. From the outset, his striking appearance earns him praise, tiny peach-kissed nose and pads, with short, triangular ears framing bright, almond-shaped hazel eyes that gleam. His lilac and cream torbie pelt, adorned with rounded tufts of fur, adds a touch of charm to his already plump kitten form.
As he grows, Scalekit's sleek fur transitions into a velvety pelage that shimmers in the sunlight, a nod to his namesake. Despite the transformation from short and rounded to average and muscular, his gentle facial features will remain a constant, offering a glimpse into his kind and amiable nature. Adorably their tail will stay obviously short in comparison to his adult size.
- Personality-wise, Scalekit exudes warmth and friendliness toward his clanmates, his loyalty to Riverclan unwavering as he holds other clans to a near-unattainable standard. Rarely venturing beyond the confines of his own clan. Growing up with his mother's expectations Scalekit will strive to be exceptional in a very naive way. Through pure chauvinism and heavy-emphasis on his whole mindset revolving around being a Riverclanner. Unlike his sweet appearance Scalekit has no fear in stepping on toes or biting ears to make himself seen. Whether that be positively or negatively.
In moments of silence, Scalekit is quick to fill the air with his chatter, unafraid to voice his opinions or challenge authority when he feels it necessary. During his paw' phase, he may test boundaries and intentionally go against demands or correctives, asserting his independence and individuality within the clan. Unaware of the tensions this may bring when his real heritage comes to light. In his warrior moon's he'll take pride in his swimming and fighting abilities, viewing them as a testament to his clan's superiority.
Despite his more brash nature, Scalekit also harbors a deep sense of responsibility and duty. He holds himself to high morals and strives to uphold justice (albeit in a very close minded way). This sense of righteousness guides his actions as he navigates the complexities of clan life. Backing most of his claims with laws or clan cats perceptions of Starclan's societal rules. In addition to his vibrant personality and dedicated demeanor, Scalekit possesses a keen intellect. He thrives on being perceived as wise and seeks to expand his understanding of life around him. This natural curiosity fuels his eagerness to challenge others and question the status quo, often leading to thought-provoking or infuriating conversations.
When Scalekit is educated on his bloodlines he will grapple with the reality of his own heritage and small-minded behavior. The discovery of his other parent's identity will shake the foundation of his beliefs, forcing him to confront difficult truths about himself and his place in the world. This internal struggle may manifest as moments of cold determination, humiliation, and irrational anger as he seeks to prove himself and assert his place within Riverclan. Maybe even ending in conflict between him and the mother he treasures.
- PLOTS: With his insatiable curiosity, Scalekit is destined to find himself embroiled in numerous arguments and debates. Perhaps in late kittenhood or early apprenticeship, his inquisitive nature will lead him to challenge a peer or demand the 'truth' from his mentor, ultimately sparking heated confrontations and kickstarting his 'punk' phase as he revels in the thrill of discourse.
Despite his boldness, Scalekit is hesitant to admit when he's wrong, often denying any involvement in the trouble that arises from his curious escapades. Whether it's experimenting with mud to their sleeping siblings coat or attempting to sneak out of the nursery, he remains steadfast in his innocence, at least in his own furry little head.
While Scalekit may show disinterest in outside clans, he possesses an almost obsessive interest in Riverclan history. He eagerly seeks out knowledge from elders and his mother's coworkers, fueled by tales of rogues and the formidable Smokestar, which ignite a sense of urgency to grow up quickly.
Under Iciclefang's dutiful guidance, Scalekit flourishes in the idealized power dynamic, presenting a glamorized version of himself to outsiders. However, this facade crumbles in moments of anger or when ignored, revealing his true vulnerabilities beneath.
They'll struggle in making friends with more reserved cats, former kittypets, rogues, or loners. Yet, Scalekit maintains a sense of respect for those who willingly chose to be apart of Riverclan. While he may distance himself from them, he will stand up for them if challenged by outsiders, recognizing the courage it takes to embrace clan life.
