“ Frosted Nights ” A Winterberry Application!

Instructions

✦•······················•✦•······················•✦ [ ‘ “ Frosted Nights ” - A Winterberry Application ’ ] ✦•······················•✦•······················•✦ About Me _____________ Hey there! I’m Quinn! I have been a member of generations since it started. Ive also been roleplaying for about five years now! I’ve had 15 generations cats, and Winter here, should i get her, will be my 16th! I am a member of both the LGBT and disabled communities. I use they/it pronouns wise. I have multiple special interests and hyperfixations, Gens being one of them :) ✦•······················•✦•······················•✦ Kit I’m Applying for (and why!) ______________________________ I will be applying for the gorgeous Winterberrykit! Ive been planning to kill off Turtlesmile for a while now, as she is based off of a character who dies tragically, and I wanted to reflect that with him. I have much nicer plans for Winter, her being my in between character, as me and Fern have been planning to make some sibling characters. Berry is going to be based off of Donnie from RotTMNT! One of my special interests haha ✦•······················•✦•······················•✦ Gender and Sexuality _______________________ As a kit, Win will go by she/her pronouns. However, the older she gets, the more she realizes that these pronouns don’t quite fit her. He will then identify as nonbinary, using the pronouns of They/He for the rest of his life. As they are a she/her as a kit, those are the pronouns I will use for this application. As Ber grows, she’ll likely be some mixture of aro/ace and bisexual. ✦•······················•✦•······················•✦ Personality ______________ Winterberry is, outwardly, a very antisocial cat, one who can seem quite frightening. However, the more you get to know her, the sillier and more loyal she becomes. She is a very logical cat, and a rule follower, one to act based off of precision and data rather than instinct. Sometimes this can get in the way of her performing certain actions. She is also quite silly, though she doesn’t show this side of her to those who don’t know her very well. She enjoys hanging out with her loved ones, forming close bonds with them when possible. She is not one to express feelings through words, rather using actions, doing small acts of service to help her friends and family. On the other side, she can be quite egotistical, believing she is better and smarter than everyone else. She’s very sarcastic, and sometimes can be quite rude. Winter is also quite intelligent. ✦•······················•✦•······················•✦ Former Characters ____________________ As I mentioned before, ive had 15 other characters, some of whom were actually quite accomplished. These characters were: Sunheart (died from safety fail) Pufferfishkit (died from sneaking out) Flailghost (executed) Tunaspirit (moss deputy, died in battle) Burrowwhisper (killed off) ScribbIewonder (poisoned) Nightcrawl (illness) Canarysong (founder of Urchin, former uc dep, died fighting a badger) Magnoliablight (uc medic, murdered) Monodypaw (died in war) Caninekit (weekly kit) Abyssalkit (weekly kit and illness) Meadowrise (founder and leader of GoR, weekly predator) Etherealhollow (killed off) Turtlesmile (alive, will be killed off) ✦•······················•✦•······················•✦ Activity Level _______________ I am, admittedly, a bit less active than I used to be. However I still check scratch daily, and do my best to roleplay at least once a week. ✦•······················•✦•······················•✦ Disorder + Research _____________________ Winter will have Autism, something that i strongly suspect I have. I will be basing her experiences off of some of mine and some of Donnie’s, who also has Autism. Autism, otherwise known as ASD (autism spectrum disorder), is a developmental disorder, affecting the mind and how one behaves. I won’t be going in to the specifics of how it happens or works, and will now talk about common symptoms of it! - Empathy Problems Some people with autism struggle with empathy, either having very little empathy, or very strong amounts of empathy. I have the latter. — Winter will experience low empathy, making it hard for her to connect with others, or express her feelings. She will also struggle to feel bad for others. - Issues with Tone Some individuals struggle to tell the difference between other’s tones, or differentiate their own tone. — Winter will generally not be able to tell if someone is joking or not, all tones sounding the same to her. She will also speak in a monotone generally, often sounding sarcastic without even realizing it. - Difficulties Socializing Many individuals with autism dont pick up on social cues, making interacting with others a challenging task. — Winter will usually be unable to understand the conventions of interacting with others, unable to pick up the small cues that are used in most conversations. She will likely come across as ++
