ABOUT ME I go by Arrow and I love art, writing & cats. Scratch is where I felt comfortable enough to share and grow my hobbies and I'd love to return to it as a safe haven in the chaos of life. WHY AM I APPLYING I’m applying for Whisperkit. I love having one character that you grow with and find I’m able to connect really well. I’ve never felt to the need to kill off my characters and my goal with Whisper would be to keep them active and alive as long as I can. That’s my main selling point :3 EXPERIENCE My only rp experience has been here in TFCRP, where I played Drizzle for just under 50 moons. Unfortunately, it got difficult trying to work around all her key relationships disappearing due to inactivity or character deaths. I’ve been keeping an eye out for a while for litters that could give me a chance to develop a character that I can relate to but also is new and interesting. The concept I have for Whisperkit is something I’d love to bring to life if you want me to. I will not be seeking out any trauma for Whisperkit, any mental or physical pain will be solely be a reaction to current clan and personal events. I love my babies and I want them to be happy. ACTIVITY My goal for activity is to be consistent. I’d see myself rp’ing at least once a week and likely more if I’m available. I generally like to get through chains in one sitting though this can be difficult with time zones. ┊ ⋆ ┊ . ┊ ┊ ┊ ⋆ ┊ . ┊ ┊ ┊ ⋆ ┊ . ┊ ┊ Now, the fun part! Meet my version of Whisperkit... TRAITS OVERVIEW Pos: inquisitive, caring, integrity Neutral: ruminative, cautious Neg: aloof, easily frustrated, possessive Other - autistic, partially non-verbal (based off my own experience with ASD) IDENTITY Gender: Agender Pronouns: All Sexuality: Pansexual PERSONALITY Whisperkit is intensely interested in the world but struggles to see things the way they’re expected to. Although other cats may struggle to communicate with them, they do care greatly about their friends and family. They speak minimally and will go non-verbal if overwhelmed. Whisperkit would form extremely strong bonds with some family members but struggle to create lasting relationships outside of their existing network. This would probably translate to being clingy as a kit and struggling with their apprenticeship. I feel this would complement Beesonnet’s parenting style, as it would allow Whisper to be themselves without any pressure of how they’re expected to behave. FUTURE I don’t have any solid future plans, I’d just see where life takes them. Though, I’m definitely enthusiastic about having kits one day if it all works out. TRIVIA - Whisperkit has sensitive hearing due to their large ears picking up a wider range of frequencies (this is a thing apparently which I think is cool) Sources: https://www.uahpet.com/blogs/hydration-health/cat-with-big-ears-breeds-characteristics-and-care-tips https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC2888317/ https://www.petacoustics.com/blog/the-amazing-feline-ear - They’re also light sensitive and use their tail to shield their eyes when it’s too bright - Whisperkit prefers to use non-verbal body language to communicate - this is a combination of generic symbols like nodding, as well as unique movements like paw-signing - Their theme song would be Ask Me Why by Joe Hisashi - They'd go by Wisp for short and maybe Wis'paw as an apprentice nickname. Later on they might become known as 'perks' due to their large ears which are often moving or held alert I don’t want to add too much more lest I get overly attached, but obviously if I did get them I would keep on fleshing them out. RP EXAMPLES -Whisperkit padded into the clearing, their whole body recoiling at the blinding bright sunlight that had pierced through the canopy. Looking out through half-closed eyes, they recognised the scent of their mother across the cleaning. Immediately they shot across the camp, quietly dodging the cats that lay sunbathing in the afternoon warmth. Silently, they gave a nudge to their Mum before burrowing themselves in the comforting shade of her downy underbelly. Now satisfied, they made themselves comfortable and found themselves rumbling away in minutes.- “Mh” they grunted, turning their head up to catch the movement of a bird overhead. With a flick of their tail, Whisperkit got up and padded off without a word. They were particularly eager to go hunting this morning. ┊ ⋆ ┊ . ┊ ┊ ┊ ⋆ ┊ . ┊ ┊ ┊ ⋆ ┊ . ┊ ┊ I love plants so much, the best part is watching them sprout! It's like their spirit is waking up for the first time.
