BETTER DAYS AHEAD, a ShadowClan Litter
As the starving leafbare comes to a close, Blacktree and Dunehusk find themselves preparing for newleaf… and new life. Despite Blacktree's lingering grief over the loss of their first litter, their time in the Clans has led her to feel confident about reviving their family.
Especially since their ex, Blisteringfury, seems to have a flourishing brood of his own…

RULES & REQUIREMENTS


  • Not FCFS - all applications with the minimum information [name, appearance, personality] will be considered
  • Both Carat and Plot will collaborate on picking who will fill the slots
  • This litter will have up to the maximum 6 kits depending on interest, as both Carat and Plot will be taking a slot.
  • Make sure to check whatever name you would like to use against the prefix/suffix list! If they aren't on the list, you can check with a staff member or pop it in #name-check on the discord so they can check its validity.
  • These do not need to be your main characters, but we do ask for at least some level of activity. These kits will be part of a complicated web of a family tree and therefore we would love to have the opportunity for interactions between the many relations!
  • These kits will have very loving and attentive parents. Blacktree has already lost a litter before and may be a bit of a helicopter parent, and Dunehusk struggles greatly with being estranged from his children in ThunderClan. Please no storylines about them being unloved by their parents.
  • If you're interested, you can also claim Patchfog and/or Hollis in this thread to fill out the family! These two are FCFS and you can find more information for them here.
  • Applications will close on February 14th, announced soon after, and born on March 20th, the first day of spring.

RELATIONS

Kits are ShadowClan.
Uncle [in ShadowClan]: Grayflight
Aunt [in ThunderClan]: Patchfog
Uncle [in Twolegplace] [estranged]: Hollis

APPEARANCE: While Fortunekit certainly inherits Blacktree's longer coat of fur, he otherwise looks much like his father Dunehusk, with brown fur that sports darker stripes and patterns save for his white muzzle, belly, and inner tail.

PERSONALITY: Fortunekit is quiet and communicates with as few words as possible, and its lack of expressions pairs with this to make it look a lot less friendly than it really is. Behind a seemingly cold and standoffish exterior is a surprisingly well-adjusted kitten; happy, energetic, always wanting to play. It's very curious by nature and likes to pry, sometimes spying on others without really meaning to; if you look over and see its wide eyes boring into you, don't feel intimidated. It just finds you fascinating and probably wants to play!

note: tempted to give him bartering as well. just for funsies. not sure which will be enhanced and which will be removed yet, probably sight and hearing respectively.

ִֶָ☾. SHROUDEDKIT
Alt Names: Achingkit, Grottokit, Salamanderkit, Spirekit

Shroudedkit is born a questioning feline. Too curious for his own good, prying into the past of his parents. He longs for a connection to his parent's past, despite what they have told him about Thunderclan. He finds himself far too drawn to them, despite their warnings...

Shroudedkit is an average sized kitten, primarily grey with a darker grey "shroud" around their pelt. They are born with a fever pelt, but it eventually fades as they grow older. Their eyes are a deep amber, much like their mother. They have a long coat, and an elegant tail that resembles a feather and only grows fluffier andn larger the older they become.

. ☾ .
———-,. ° ✧- PERSONALITY -✧ ° .-,———

( + ) inquisitive, challenging, deeply contemplative
( / ) iconoclastic, skeptical, unsentimental
( - ) anhedonistic, argumentative, blunt

Shroudedkit is one that seems to not experience many positive emotions, they have great parents, but they almost seem utterly defeated and uninterested in things that may bring their siblings or parents pleasure. They lack a central motivation and seem to just drift through life idly, waiting for things to find them. As they grow older, he almost seems bitter towards his parents and the separation between their former mate and a family that he has never properly gotten to meet. Despite his parent's misgivings towards Thunderclan, he finds himself drawn to the idea of reconnecting with the rest of his family. He is largely a placid tom, not showing much emotion unless it is to argue.

Despite their young age, they are quite intelligent and find themselves looking within very often. He wants to find a purpose for himself, without the throes of his parents and siblings. He knows his parents love him deeply, but he struggles with how much of helicopter parents they can be --- finding them overbearing to the point of purposely lashing out.
↪ Quirks, mannerisms

Shroudedkit is born to Blacktree and Dunehusk, born a tom they begin to question their identity as they approach apprenticeship --- deciding that they were given the wrong body by creation. They love their parents but find them very overbearing.

newtkit / pitchkit
- bubbly, eccentric, secretive, earnest.
- tricksy and nosy, likes knowing things others don't. carries a crooked grin and a knowing glint in her eye. always poking her nose in places it doesn't belong.
- ...hey, what was that about thunderclan? maybe a little peek over the border wouldn't hurt...
- herald of hope in the wake of famine. comes off as somewhat naively kind. everyone says things are better now than before she was born, so she tries to act like it!
- takes others' struggles onto herself. wants to be your shoulder to lean on. likes feeling useful. selfless or self-destructive...? is there a difference...?
- secretly somewhat petty and judgemental. overemotional, takes things too personally. holds grudges, waits forever to act on them.
- idiosyncratic, strong pattern recognition.
- bog witch baby...
