|| Forward || Welcome to Sabulodaybreak and Hoatzincharm’s first litter together; Of a Feather! Myself and Spindle have quietly been cooking these little birdy themed marguerites (a sand cat hybrid kitten is actually called a marguerite!) up in the background for quite some time, so we hope you all enjoy them and look forward to their future litters to come! ^^ Now, onto our parents and their parenting styles! || The Parents || / Hoatzincharm | He/Him | Papa | @WaterL1ly \ Hoatzincharm is a relatively laid-back parent and won't interfere much in what his kits decide to do as long as they're not getting hurt or hurting other cats. He isn't one to get mad at his kits for any reason, even if they do something really bad. He deeply cares about them and since most of them lack nose spikes to properly preen their feathers, he will happily step in to help with that and support them in whatever else they might need. / Sabulodaybreak | They/Them | Mater, Amma | @Shy_Pj \ Sabulodaybreak is going to be very directly involved in their kits upbringing, spending most of their time until the kits apprenticeships doting on and being with them. They will do their best not to be overbearing or smothering to their kits, and are one more for gentle correction and explaining why their kits shouldn’t misbehave as opposed to scolding or raising their voice. (c03dw0rd 1 is marguerites) They will sadly struggle to help teach their kits to preen or how to use their wings, but they will look to Hoatzincharm and other falconcats for assistance. || The Kits || Secretarybirdkit (Preclaimed by @t1red- / @sleep1ng- ) G1 FCxL AFAB 23 inches 1 moon And out walks-- uh, trips, the vibrant Secretarybirdkit! A lanky legged kit with deep blue gray fur with splashes and stripes of cream white and deep black, and with feathers in warm shades of orange and yellow with hints of black and gray. Her most striking features are the long thin feathers wreathing her face and trailing down her neck, as well as the vibrant plumage that grows right around her warm yellow-green eyes! A beautiful sight but such a hassle to preen-- She stands at a towering 23 inches when full grown and is the largest of the litter! Roosterkit (Preclaimed by ) G1 FCxL AMAB 17 inches 1 moon Research: Infertility Next, out tumbles the loveable Roosterkit! A stocky but tall kit with fur in shades of sandy browns and pale cream, dashed with stripes and darker patches. His feathers are a mix of fluffy speckled red around his body, then a smooth vibrant and iridescent green on his wings and tail. His most eye catching features are his little beard of feathers he sports from his chin, and his bright magenta eyes he inherited from his father! Hoopoekit G1 FCxL AFAB 14 inches 1 moon (Designed by / ) Next, out strides the glamorous Hoopoekit! A somewhat lanky kit with fur of warm orange and cream tones, dotted and striped with hints of deep black, and feathers of striking zigzag stripes of black and white. She takes after her father, her face set in an oriental shape that draws eyes to her ruffly mohawk, drooping ears, and narrow sage green eyes. Hummingbirdkit (Preclaimed by ) G1 FCxL AFAB 10 inches 1 moon Last, but certainly not least, trots out the fluffy Hummingbirdkit! The near spitting image of her mater but in stark monochrome. Hummingbird's fur is a mix of various shades of black and gray with splashes of white. With feathers of a luminous green that matches her eyes, except for those found circling her paws, which sit a pristine and vibrant white. Even her eyes match her mater's, the cool green sitting just as striking as her feathers against her dark fur. || Rules || - Abide by all of the TSSRP rules - No discriminatory behavior of any kind will be tolerated. - Do not put yourself or other down - Project & Forum applications ONLY, comment apps will not be counted (unless said comments are under a project).
