━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━


Cicadabuzz's pelt is made up of warm, earthy tones and intricate markings. Their sleek body is primarily sandy tan, with dark chestnut fur on their legs and framing their face, giving them an intense look. Large amber eyes and reddish-brown, angular ears add to the intensity of their expression. They have dark markings that look not unlike a moth's wings or a cicada's shell on their flanks. Their tail, ringed with darker shades, is adorned with flowers, leaves, herbs of all kinds, so that they always have supplies on them if a cat needs their medical expertise.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Cicadabuzz is a figure of calm mystery, a medicine cat whose presence seems woven from the same earth they walk upon. They carry themselves with a quiet, unhurried grace, and while they have a reserved demeanor, their watchful gaze and fluid movements give them an aura that is as intense as it is tranquil. Cicadabuzz doesn't need many words to convey their thoughts; the rare ones they offer are chosen carefully, and often resonate long after they're spoken.

Cicadabuzz is not, however, the warm or empathetic sort of cat that some expect. They help and heal out of a sense of duty and personal purpose, not necessarily out of deep feeling for each cat they treat. Though they offer their skills and advice readily, their kindness feels more detached, as if they are observing from a distance. They are often seen tending to the herbs they grow instead, carefully sorting and preparing them in silent ritual, their focus intense and almost meditative. It's this quiet diligence and attentiveness that have earned them respect, but Cicadabuzz is a bit difficult to approach for those expecting more emotional warmth. While they don't turn anyone away, there's a slight air of separation, as if Cicadabuzz keeps a veil between themselves and those around them.

For Cicadabuzz, this distance serves a purpose; they believe that too much attachment would cloud their judgment. Their focus is on the wellbeing of the Clan as a whole, and they believe they can serve it best by remaining clear-headed and reserved. They are also a realist, not one to indulge in overly hopeful or comforting sentiments. When asked for advice or insight, they will often respond with a pragmatic solution rather than an attempt to soothe or sugarcoat. Cicadabuzz can be blunt, at times almost unnervingly so, with an ability to point out uncomfortable truths. They may not go out of their way to be cruel, but neither will they spare feelings if they believe direct honesty is needed. In their view, the truth is a gift, even when it stings, and they expect others to respect this approach.

The forest and its rhythms speak more to Cicadabuzz than any single cat could. They spend long hours gathering herbs, not only for medicine but also for the simple peace that the task brings them. When they can, they adorn their fur with leaves, flowers, and fragrant herbs, weaving them into their tail to keep them close. This both distinguishes them and serves as a practical way to always have healing supplies on hand, reinforcing the impression of Cicadabuzz as more spirit than cat. Though they are known for their wisdom and knowledge, they're still young, and they carry an openness to new ideas, always eager to learn from the land itself or discover some previously unknown use for a plant. Their fascination with the natural world and its secrets means they sometimes seem lost in thought, more attuned to their own musings than to the conversations around them.

They're open to forming meaningful relationships but are equally content to wait for these connections to emerge organically, without pressure or expectation.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

CICADABUZZ will not start fights BUT will end fights. THEY will not flee AND will show mercy.

In battles, CICADABUZZ excels at DEFENSIVE MANEUVERS and AMBUSHES, but is poor at HEAD TO HEAD MELEE. Cicadabuzz is methodical and controlled, prioritizing stealth and strategy over brute strength. While they avoid conflict if possible, they have their strengths, and when forced to fight, they do so with calm precision. Their approach to combat is not out of anger but necessity; they consider it an extension of their duty to protect, just as much as healing is. When given the choice, they show mercy, and they will avoid prolonging a battle or inflicting unnecessary pain, seeking to end things swiftly and efficiently.

CICADABUZZ is inspired by INSPIRATION, voice claim, etc. THEY often smell like DUST and FLORAL HERBS. Character speech is BOLD. Peaceful powerplay is allowed, but reaction to such may differ depending on the situation.
