click/tap/space CHIAROSCURO (nicknames: ro, scuro, roscu, chiaro (most commonly ro or roscu)) (other aliases: hireath (origin ... ?)) he/she/they/it (AIAB) pansexual 95 moons old 12 inches tall (tall for his breed) oriental shorthair "his fur is quite curious, is it not? i believe it's called a chimera, if i recall correctly. more than that, half of her is lilac and the other half is black. from the side she looks like two cats, that's how evenly split it is. his eyes are also odd- while it's no surprise that they're different colors, they're strange colors. one amber, one a vibrant teal. even more it's like they're glowing all the time. they're also very tall." - ??, while gossiping with ?? about chiaroscuro RELATIONSHIPS family - it doesn't remember its parents exactly - a sister, selcouth, her whereabouts now unknown - grandparents unknown - was raised up by a cat simply called "fallow" friends - tbd romantic interests - tbd other relations: -tbd PERSONALITY chiaroscuro is an enigma to most. it has a very colorful personality, despite how its expression always seems to be emotionally flat most of the time. + outgoing, loyal, open-minded, playful = extroverted, confident, fidgety, mostly good with kits (classified as neutral due to the 'mostly'), flirtatious - overly blunt (more than she needs to be), stubborn, impulsive, nosy BACKSTORY all he knows is that he was born of an affair between a lilac she-cat and a black tom-cat, inside of a tiny, cramped space at the bottom of a cliff in FalconClan territory (his mother believed him being born there is why they were so tall. this is false). she was raised up by her mother until she was six moons olds, whereas her mother could no longer look at her and not be reminded of her father. so, chiaroscuro was abandoned in the barren lands without any knowledge of how to hunt, or otherwise take care of themself. that was when they were found by *fallow*, a demon amongst cats. it had no eyes, perhaps not even a soul, and was whiter than the snow. its mouth was broken into a permanent smile, whether or not it wanted it. its body stretched out as it moved. fallow taught roscu how to hunt, how to fight, how to do everything they know now. roscu reveres it as if it had been their father and their mother from the very beginning.
SONGS: It's Been a Long, Long Time by Kitty Kallen and Harry James (1945) I Don't Want to Set the World on Fire by The Ink Spots (1941) Dream A Little Dream of Me by Doris Day (1957) My Funny Valentine by Chet Baker (1954) Heartaches by Al Bowlly (1931) may draw and add fallow soon (fallow isnt an actual character ofc and wont ever show up in my rps its just part of backstory... also, fallow is NOT a cat) ORIENTAL RESEARCH (because it tagged in comments) https(---)://www.petmd.com/cat/breeds/oriental-shorthair - the oriental shorthair is a siamese hybrid. according to the text, oriental shorthairs are prone to amyloidosis (specifically prone to hepatic (liver) amyloidosis), pica, and hereditary retinal degeneration. roscu is past the general age range for amyloidosis and hrd, so i wouldn't consider her too at risk (especially safe from hrd, which is less common in siamese-related breeds anyways. they're just past the threshold for amyloidosis (1-7 years)). they're most at risk for pica, which might coincide with their fidgety habits and they might chew on inedible things.
