    TBNKIT JUNIPERSTAR XX SABLESTAR
    HOLLYKIT ;; BRAMBLEKIT, SHRIKEKIT (or something else; can be named icly)
    AMAB, HE/HIM | KIT OF THUNDERCLAN | 0 MOONS

    TUXEDO TOM // ref coming soon (click)
    He looks just like his father, has his spiky fur, his cowlicks, and his honey amber eyes, though where his father's eyes are often narrowed and usually stand guard to his thoughts, this young cat is wide-eyed and wears his heart on his sleeve. Because of who he looks like, he unwittingly causes those around him– including his mother– pain, as he serves as a constant reminder of the cat who betrayed them and killed their dear friend. As he grows up, he'll likely grow to resent his appearance for this reason. Depending on what his siblings look like, and how closely they resemble their father, he might grow jealous of them. Why did he have to be born this way? Why does he look like their father, why does he have these eyes and this fur and this body?

    ❝Don't worry. Your father is only your father until one of you forgets.❞

    KIT - CURIOUS, QUIET, EXPRESSIVE. I imagine his kithood to be one of confusion. He doesn't understand why cats look at him like they do, why they sometimes whisper, why it's such a bad thing that he looks like his father. Depending on when/how he finds out what Sable did, he'll probably be extremely upset, and might grow to resent his appearance and in turn his father. While he starts out wide-eyed and curious, seeking out connection, depending on how others react– that is, if he's rejected or shunned– he will turn in on himself, and turn his anger inwards and at his father.

    APPRENTICE - QUIET, REPRESSED, SINS OF THE FATHER. Because of his father being (in his and many of his clan mates eyes) evil, he will likely take the burden of redeeming these sins onto himself. Though the severity of his want/need to do this will also depend on how he's treated by his clanmates, even if they treat him kindly, he is likely to make up cruel voices of his own to haunt him. He wants very badly to be seen as someone kind and righteous, and to be someone who is needed and trusted by the clan. As he learns more about his father, he will try harder and harder to be nothing like him. Because of this I think he'll be a very impressionable character, especially in his time as an apprentice– he will be shaped by the interactions with his clan mates and his mother. He'll do anything, change into most anyone, to please and be seen as himself and not Sable. But in the process of this, he may end up losing himself.

    WARRIOR - GUARDED, VIRTUOUS, PURSUER OF JUSTICE. As he's got a planned death ahead of him, I won't say too much here, but he'll likely go down a similar path as he did as an apprentice, although without some of the anxiety as being appointed warrior will likely make him feel that he's gained the clans (and his mother's) approval. Though I think he'll end up with a lot of pent up emotions, as his fear of being like his father will cause him to repress a lot, especially anger/negative emotions.

    NOTE // I may change personality up while I roleplay. I tend to find grooves for characters, and find it more enjoyable to roleplay them in a certain manner. This is loose, but I will be following it to a point.

    FEARS AND INSPIRATIONS:
    • FEAR // ABANDONMENT - Because his dad abandoned their family, he'll probably be very attached to the family he has left. He is terrified that they too will abandon him. Even if their relationship might be strenuous at times depending on how the story shapes up, and how he feels about them and they might feel about him might sometimes be negative, he would never leave them, unless he….dies….:)
    • FEAR // SABLESTAR - He will grow resentful of his father, and scared, scared that he himself may one day betray his family and friends, that the poison drips through.
    • FEAR // THE DARK - He's a little paranoid, I think. Happens to the best of us.
    • INSPRIATION // THUNDERCLAN - His clan will be very important to him, as it's the home of his family and the force of good in his eyes. He will grow up being told they were in the right, and that Sablestar betrayed them, and he will believe them without question. He'll strive to be a worthy member of the clan.
    AESTHETICS, BASED OFF OF, ETC:
    • SINS OF THE FATHER // I just think the concept of inherited sin is fun to play with and an interesting angle for a character:3
    • ICARUS // golden boy flies too close to the sun, destined to crash and burn. Also thinking of Prim in the hunger games and this specific quote from the author when asked if she always knew Prim was going to die; "Oh yeah, of course. That's the whole point."
    NOTES, POTENTIAL PLOTS, ETC:
    • AVERSION TO VIOLENCE // What sort of mentor he has, and how they treat him, will have a huge impact on him. He'll probably start out with an aversion to violence and any kind of fighting, seeing violence as a direct link to his father. depending on how his mentor feels about fighting and violence, he may stick with this view or it might change.
    • RETRIBUTION // Again, depending on how roleplay progresses, he might grow a lil vengeful towards Sable. Unlikely to act on it, though he might attempt to seek Sable out in an effort to confront him about abandoning him and why he 'cursed' him with this appearance
    • MALLEABLE // Like I said earlier, I think he will be very impressionable and therefore a lot will develop through roleplay, but I hope u get the gist of what I'm going for!!

Name: Rosehipkit

Pronouns: he/him

Appearance: a small, medium-furred, pale ginger tom with a white chest and paws. He has pale amber eyes. His fur tends to be mussed as he isn't good at paying attention to his own needs

Personality: Rosehipkit is a mild mannered cat with his head in the clouds. He seems barely aware of what's going on around him, like he's not fully in his head. Rosehipkit is actually quite imaginative and deeply enjoys telling himself stories as he watches the world around him go by.

Rosehipkit struggles with taking care of himself, too caught up in his own head to give his body any care. He won't realize that he's hungry or needs to go make dirt until he's prompted.

Despite being in his own little world, Rosehip is quick to notice things- whether or not he understands the meanings is a whole different battle.

As he grows older, Rosehip learns to focus more and pay attention to his own needs. He also enjoys sharing the stories he comes up with.

  • Ahoy! Just taking a moment here to briefly mention that a few details about this character may be undecided in order to let things fill out during RP if accepted for this litter! Regarding their name, I have a few suggestions listed below with reasoning for each, inclusive of suffixes as the intent is for them to be fully named in Starclan after some time.

    Underlined is my current favorite but I'd also be happy to leave the name to you guys as the writers of Juniper and Sable as well for fun.

    Name Suggestions (inclusive of potential suffixes)
    Little(fang), A very literal approach. Named after their prominent fang, and that they would have never had the chance to grow
    Sharp(fang), Similar to the above, drawn from Juniper's list through connection to Sable
    Lynx(breeze), Referring to their appearance, and that they are gone with the wind, drawn from Sable's list
    Flicker(pelt), Referring to their destination of Starclan, and that they have flickering stars in their fur there, drawn from Juniper's list
    Echo(song), Referring to their appearance, visually a chimeric mixture of both parents effectively echoing them, drawn from Sable's list through connection to Juniper​
  • Name TBD → named for ?
    Nonbinary → They/Them
    Sexuality Unknown → Single
    Skipped to 1 Moon → Aging Rate: Monthly (Or N/A, given that they're in Starclan?)
    Starclan → kit, eventually will be fully named posthumously

    HISTORY
    Sadly, the story of this cat begins at the end... Or does it end at the beginning? The future is uncertain, and they are afraid, torn from life immediately and thrust into eternity as a young soul is sure to take it's toll if nothing is done...​

    PLOT
    The plot in mind for this cat is to explore the afterlife from the perspective of an individual that has not experienced life through a lense of what is at first very intense apprehension and lonliness. Among the first few to enter Starclan after its return, their mind and soul will have a lot of trouble acclimating to the position and guiding responsibility that Starclan puts them in— fearful of the knowledge, fearful of the percieved power and for a very long time fearful of other Starclan cats that aren't related to them.

    They would want focus on the land of the living and their desire to truly live whilst keeping tabs on their living relatives as much as possible and doing their best to keep close to family that is also in Starclan. They would be drawn to all of them at first, wanting to learn all about them and find joy in this until they notice darkness in the heart of their father Sable and begin to resent him with an emotional intensity that is unchecked and honestly quite ferocious thus leading this cat to be fiercly protective of Juniper and their own siblings, also if any siblings follow the path of Sable, this cat will feel even more dismayed and betrayed.

    After a long while, the end goal is to get this cat to reincarnate later down the line after a lot of personal growth and probably after some members of the family enter Starclan (might also be fun to reincarnate alongside some!). Additionally, an extra goal is to have them reincarnate with a power! The idea here is, since they've spent so much time in Starclan, the energies of the afterlife and its mysteries have built up within them and follow them into life once more. For instance, it could be Spiritual power that fits and exemplifies their character growth, or the Grandiose enhancement to signify their desire to live a big fulfilling life that they first weren't able to— or even both of these powers if allowed!​

    In Life​
    In Starclan​

    Black self / Cinnamon ticked tabby chimera → This cat is visually a blended mixture of their parents Juniper and Sable, they have vibrant honey coloured eyes with blue-teal-green sclera which merges features from both parents. The same can be said of their big scruffy fluffy cheeks, however they are coloured a dusty brown with speckles of red from maternal uncles Bracken and Flame. Their base pelt colour is a pale brown similar to Juniper while they also have a fluffy chest with a pattern similar to their paternal uncle Gray. They have pointed and alert black ears as well as black patterning on their legs and tail similar to their paternal great grandparent Alder. Their physical build is reminiscent of a much younger Sable, and they also have a prominent large right fang as a unique feature.
    Smells like → A far off memory...
    Sounds like → A scattered dream...

    Design Notes & Thought Process
    Overall shape and pattern placements are references to Sable's side of the family, whereas most colours are references to Juniper's side of the family
    Has striking and unique eyes drawing from their parents, the darker green from Juniper's and the orange from Sable's in inverted places
    The fluff of their cheeks draws from Juniper and Sable, with flecks colouration from Juniper's side of the family in reference to Bracken and Flame
    Their chest fur draws from Bracken and Gray in fluffiness and patterning, there is also a marking present that is derived from the marking on Gray's chest
    Their ears are reminiscent of Alder, the black fur patterning on their and underside of their tail legs also draws from Alder
    Their front left foot sports a pattern similar to Gray's, while also being reminiscent of the pattern on Juniper's hind left paw
  • Since this cat is young, their personality is sure to develop a bit over time as well, but some core traits will be present— primary traits are core to the character's journey of growth and more likely to be present in roleplay as a whole as they grow from scared and lonely to confident and kind. Secondary traits are more malleable, less likely to come up in continued roleplay and more likely to change in all sorts of ways

    Primary traits: Calculating, Apprehensive, Fearful, Shy → Grows into → Analytical, Observant, Cautious, Kind
    Secondary Traits: Creative, Sensitive, Wiggly

    Overall Personality → At first, this cat will be quite the nervous little thing, fearful of the infinity they have found themselves in without time to acclimate, shy around others and apprehensive to try anything they percieve unsafe until they painstakingly calculate that it is indeed safe. They will start off as rather sensitive to the way others act around them due to this, and they will be a little bit wiggly and lively in the best of times even without really knowing that they are being that way, they will also be a bit of a creative little artist while arranging things or clawing at the ground.

    Eventually, they will grow out of their nervous shell into a more self-assured individual as they observe life through the perspective of someone that hasn't experienced it. All of this time watching and waiting will reward them with an observant and analytical mindset that considers more complex emotions and wider situations over calculated hard facts, they will cast away fear for caution and the once shy cat will know to show kindness as it was shown to them; be it from others in Starclan or their watching over the living realm.

  • Below is a general overview of how the character will approach interactions! Since they're a kit, it is liable to change even though they're intended for Starclan.

    Peaceful and healing powerplay allowed
    Easy to battle → Is not inherently violent
    Will not start fights → Will end fights → Will not run away
    Medium difficulty to talk to → A bit spacey and primarily concerned with the living realm over much else
    Okay hunter → Poor fighter → Good mediator
  • Had a lot of fun designing and writing this app, the lore was very interseting to draw from! Thank you for reading, and thank you for the opportunity to apply!

  • Love
Reactions: Rattlekit
alright we spent... hours agonizing over the decision on this. please know all of your apps were WELL LOVED... we tried to balance potential plots, sibling interactions, and symbolism hidden within these characters.. those details ended up being what we had to nitpick most to come to a decision but it was still incredibly difficult..... we HIGHLY encourage you guys to bring these kittens in elsewhere if you can!! or wait for other cross-clan litters to repurpose them because im sure it'll happen and their concepts deserve exploring one way or another <3 THANKS SO MUCH EVERYONE!!!

we around proud to announce the winners:
@BossTaurus - TBDKIT for THUNDERCLAN
@lavs - TBDKIT for SHADOWCLAN
@ScremeEgg - LITTLEKIT for STARCLAN

These children will be born next Thursday... as long as circumstances do not grow worse...

:confused:
