Balmkit application! Who am I: Hi! I’m Olive! I’m a high schooler who feels like she’s constantly running in circles trying to balance school, sports, and personal life. I love reading, writing, history and literature, art and physics and everything in between. And i’m lowkey kinda bad at these introductions lol. But yeah I love cats and I love writing so that’s what I’m here! TFCRP history: Yes! I’ve been in TFCRP since 2021 technically. I had maybe 5-6 characters between 2021 and 2024 back in my days (some of which include: Belovedhawk, Jaystorm, Heavenpaw), though I haven’t had a character at all this year. I do have Citruskit (technically she’s like 11 moons old and should be but yk there’s some lore) of IceClan in TSS, and she’s currently the main character I focus on! If I were to win Balmkit, then her and Citruskit would be my two chars! Activity: I’d say I’m like a 7/10 on weekdays and 9/10 in weekends. I’m pretty busy but I check this silly site pretty much whenever i’m bored. (which is often) Codewords: yellow leaves in the fall snowflakes in the summer so I put on sunscreen in the winter RP sample: self rp: (note: this is a longer self rp! my normal starters are shorter, 1-2, sometimes 3 paragraphs or so! (and include less yapping and more actual doing stuff lol)) Balmkit enjoyed roaming around camp just for the sake of it, and so more often than not the brown dappled she-kit could be seen meandering from place to place. She found comfort in watching the day in and day out activities of the clan; apprentices arguing over who could catch the most prey, warriors reporting on border conditions, elders telling wonderful stories, and the other kits bustling around. She would often approach these groups and listen in on their casual chatter with a shy smile. More often than not they would give her a grin or a nod of acknowledgment and continue with their doings. Perhaps they had gotten used to Balmkit’s presence, and they had simply taken it for granted and come know that she preferred to simply listen with keenly curious eyes but keep her thoughts to herself. Balmkit much preferred it this way, because being at the center of attention was, to put it honestly, a rather stressful way of being. She was content to sit and absorb the emotion and language and images as they came. That was enough to keep the young kit occupied. Occasionally she would catch sight of her father’s familiar figure, standing proudly among the churning sea of pelts. To Balmkit, Wildflowerstar somehow seemed greater than everyone else, and beyond just in terms of rank. Something about his presence seemed to shine eternally and proudly, a like he was a star never to be dimmed or outshone even by the brightest full moon. Balmkit could easily pick her father out from the crowd with a single glance, just as she could with her brother. Often, she would approach them or at least stop and observe for a moment what they were doing. She liked checking in on her family in this manner. At any rate, on this particular midsummer’s day, Balmkit could be found in one of her usual spots. She often enjoyed lingering around the medicine cat den, not only for the pleasantly unusual smells, but also for the abundance of wildflowers at the entrance. Plus, she personally thought the herb-wielding cats had the most interesting responsibilities in the clan and so they were a delight to observe. Balmkit sat behind a patch of grass just to the left of that den, carefully picking out small, sunny yellow flowers and lining them up in the dirt. Occasionally she would glance up and fix some interesting feline in her bicolored gaze, then jump back into her flower-picking after they wandered way. Such was a typical day for the brown-dappled she-kit. Sexuality/gender identity this is all up for change, but I'm thinking she'll remain cisgender and be pansexual! (equal/no preference) Kit’s Personality: (+) empathetic, accepting, resilient, observant (=) quiet, loyal, grounded, emotional (-) gullible, impulsive, repressed, timid continued in notes and credits!
Balmkit’s presence is a lot like a cool summer breeze. You don’t really notice it until you realize how much you want it. A rather timid and shy kit, Balmkit doesn’t mind being overshadowed by others or resigning herself against a cat who speaks words loudly and confidently. Really, she just doesn’t want to make too much of a fuss. She may not necessarily agree or disagree, but that doesn’t matter so much as keeping the peace does. If the other cat is happy, then she’s content. She tends to think very highly of others and values everyone for their own unique, wonderful perspectives. She loves it when others tell her their stories, thoughts and emotions. She feels like they’re sharing a little part of their soul. However, her tendency to see the good and the potential in everyone makes her naive and gullible. She is easily deceived and easily impressed. She lives her life with the very essence of “going with the flow”. You won’t see much angry, brash resistance from her, nor will you see much interest in politics or social dynamics. She’s tangled up in her own world (while simultaneously staying grounded in the real one). She takes every person and every fact at face value and doesn’t bother reading into it. Some might call it simplistic. Some might call it refreshing. And some still, might think she’s some ethereal, philosophical enigma for it. But really, she’s just Balmkit. But hidden beneath Balmkit’s still summer waters, is a quiet, steady, everlasting current of resilience. She may back down from a challenge, but she will never let herself be broken by one. She is hardworking and dedicated in her work and ideals, firmly committed to hope even when all is lost, and loyal to all others almost to a fault. I present to you: Balmkit, daughter of Wildflowerstar, of WindClan. Research: none is required i believe! Future plans: I’m sure if I win her, I’ll definitely think of some more fleshed out & specific ideas! but here’s the general idea/suggestions - she’ll be very interested in WindClan’s history and all the stories that Wildflowerstar (or literally anyone) has to offer about their lives or anyone else’s - she’ll braid a bunch of flowers into her own fur - arc where she gets bullied and some other friend tells her she has to stand up for herself and she manages to get the courage to (somewhat) - having to navigate through conflict and play the role of a peacekeeper if that make sense - hopeless romantic arc as apprentice - at some point in her life, she will learn self esteem and the important of asserting her own identity and opinions (something along those lines), - her impulsive streak (yes she does have one) comes out which lands her in a sticky situation - she tends to kind of separate herself from her internal struggle which lead to an outburst at some point - as an apprentice, thinks her mentor is like the best cat to ever exist (for teaching her stuff) - gets dragged into mischief by her brother (depending on his personality ofc) - has a big interest in plants, flowers, and all the naturey stuff, so I would like her to even like learn some herbs and stuff irp (even without planning to be a med cat!) and she’ll also be super good at survival stuff like knowing the weather and using the environment to her advantage while hunting. but she’ll barely have interest in fighting (or politics as mentioned before) - loves learning a language and also the nightly high/low thing with her brother trivia: - loves flowers - sometimes adds them in with her prey to make it look aesthetic - her favorite weather is when it’s rainy and sunny at the same time - green is her favorite color! - mbti: isfj - enneagram: 9w1 That’s it! Thank you for reading!
