-- introduction meet the kits backstory of the kits parenting style loose outline of what I am looking for in applications ending remarks introduction: -- hello and welcome to the preclaims for rosebriar's future litter! he will be adopting these four kittens in early april if things go well. the theme of this litter is "having a desire for what is forbidden". -- meet the kits: etherealkit.. afab .. 1 moon a rather petite kitten steps into the room, with her head dipped. her pelt the color of blush white. ethie's underbelly is tinted cream. her paws are dipped in a deep coral pink that fades towards the ends. these splotches of color are bordered by deep coral. there are also deep maroon dots scattered over her legs and pelt. her tail is a plume of thick fur that fades from a bittersweet coral to a blush white. her pelt is extremely thick and fluffy, with tufts of it framing her face. these tufts are characterized with a deep coral color that fades to a softer, anemone-like pink. the tips of her ears are dipped in white while the undersides of her ears are amber. her eyes are the color of molten gold that shimmers with expressiveness beyond her moons. wraithkit .. afab .. 1 moon a rather tall kitten steps into the room exuding an elegant confidence. wraith has a sturdy frame with thick fur that makes her seem even more intimidating. her pelt is the color of vanilla ice cream and dotted with speckles of deep black. her back is coated in varying shades of brown that almost resemble an ombre hue of brown. her tail tip and ears are dipped in a deep brown. the top of wraith's face is covered in a deep auburn hue that fades into a dark brown. her eyes are the color of bright emeralds, and there are unique markings that resemble tears below her eyes. -- backstories the four kittens from this litter are not biologically related in any way. each of them have different origins. so how did they end up together, as siblings, you ask? that will be revealed in each of the kitten's backstories! etherealkit is from loner origins. her mother was a former kittypet struggling with life in the forest. it was especially hard since she had grown used to the life of a domestic cat who was fed on time and didn't have to raise a paw for her needs. she was forced into being a loner after her former family moved away and left her to fend on her own. she had a litter of four kittens, and ethie was the runt of the litter. thea ended up being left behind, and whether it was intentional or not is up to the applicant. whether she remembers her previous family is also up to the applicant, though it would be highly unlikely that she remembers specific details about this family since she was separated from them when she was young. wraithkit is found near a barn, which implies that she is the offspring of cats that live within this abandoned barn. her parents are extremely resourceful and sharp-witted felines, which is how they have sustained themselves for this long. her father is especially apt at hunting mice and other barn rodents to feed their small family. rai is their only surviving offspring from their first litter, and is extremely precious to them. this is why they restrict her to the confines of the barn after her birth. however, curiosity overcomes her, which is what prompts her to leave home and wander far away. however, a violent thunderstorm erupts just minutes after she decides to return. the imminent fear clouds her senses and she is unable to find her way home, which is the state rue finds her in. -- parenting style: coming soon, but a general overview of his parenting style is that he is a rather overbearing father. he looks to force his kittens to believe in what he believes in. he also wishes to establish a 'perfect family' and will do anything to sustain this image, like he sustains his own self-image. this is why his kittens become adept at acting- they must keep up the presence of the family, after all. -- loose outline: - I am not requiring anything in these preclaim applications, but I am looking for dedication and a concept that will fit the idea I have for the family plot. - let me know if you have any specific questions! -- conclusion: I would like to thank the love and attention this litter has received so far and I hope it continues! please consider applying! -- credits: and for the designs of wraithkit and etherealkit respectively lesserafim for the song 'eve, psyche and the bluebeard's wife' me for the concepts and putting it into words!
