They love the world, even if sometimes it feels like the world doesn’t love them back. They see goodness where others see risk. And they see hope where others have already learned to turn away. They believe that if they are just kind enough, patient enough, and good enough, something beautiful has to come from it in the end. They'd willingly give up every part of themself as long as it means that something good will happen at the end. If they just bend, others won't have to break. And every time, they tell themselves it’s worth it. They don't get angry when it fails, nor do they blame others. Instead, they turn that hurt inward, convinced that abandonment is only a consequence of something lacking within them. That if they had just acted a different way, maybe things could've been different. Despite that, Water-lily is still in many ways the same gentle soul they were from kithood. They’ll still happily sit and watch the clouds form interesting shapes or make up stories about the lines of ants marching through Falconclan’s kits. They will sit for what feels like forever just to see a flower open, or to hear the faintest croak of a frog hidden deep in the reeds. But their dreaming nature has been turned inwards, and only with Wildfirelament or their siblings do they talk about the things that they find joy in. And still, the same quiet doubt echoes through them, the same whisper that perhaps, despite everything they give, it will never be enough. The difference is that now they have learned to continue, even with that doubt at their back, even when the world seems determined to reject them. Water-lilyredemption gives because it is who they are, because they cannot help themselves, because the part of them that first sees hope in the smallest things still believes, against all evidence, that love and beauty are worth preserving. Water-lilyredemption keeps loving. Keeps hoping. Keeps choosing gentleness in a world that has taught them again and again that gentleness is something easily discarded. And perhaps, that is the cruelest part of all. ⇷———————༻❀༺———————⇸ ❀ Shortened Personality ❀ (+) Gentle, Adaptable, Empathetic (=) Daydreamer, Selfless, Soft-spoken (-) Self-effacing, Not communicative, Unconfident Likes: ╰—⇸ Nature ╰—⇸ Storytelling ╰—⇸ Making Flower Crowns Dislikes: ╰—⇸ Heights ╰—⇸ Heavy Winds ⇷———————༻❀༺———————⇸
❀ Research ❀ Radial aplasia is defined as a congenital defect which affects the formation of the radius bone in the arm. Aplasia in particular means that the radius is completely absent, and a cat's leg goes straight from the ulna to the carpals(wrist bones) with no bones in between, giving the cat’s front limbs an almost flipper-like appearance. Other bones in their front limbs may also be shortened or twisted. It can be inherited or a random developmental anomaly, but in both cases the cause is genetic. It is thought to be related to polydactyly in cats. Cats with this condition are unable to bear weight normally on their front legs due to their deformed shape. The hind legs of cats with radial hypoplasia or aplasia are usually completely normal, This leads them to using some unusual movement, such as running on their hind legs, crawling on their elbows, or hopping. Cats with this radial aplasia are sometimes referred to as kangaroo cats because of this. They also tend to have trouble getting down from high places due to the unusual shape. This condition isn’t usually painful, but due to their abnormal movements, it does mean that skin abrasions, arthritis, or pressure sores can develop over time. There are no good treatments for radial hypoplasia. The use of splints and bandages has been tried, and surgery can be an option, but these methods do not usually make a large difference to the condition. For Water-lilyredemption, their paws are slightly twisted towards their chest, which leads to him usually crawling on his elbows, or hopping around if they are excited(or trying to move fast). As they're young they struggled a lot, especially with heights and generally balance. They probably spent a lot of time in the medicine den due to falling/stepping on things their elbows are not equipped to handle, which will impact their confidence. As they grow older, gets practice moving, and especially as they learns to fly, they will likely find it easier to move around and likely gain some of that confidence back. They will also likely develop arthritis pretty young unfortunately(maybe at like 40/50 moons, though signs may start to appear a lot earlier), due to how active clan cats tend to be and how he moves around. ⇷———————༻?❀?༺———————⇸ “I’ll believe it all… I won’t let go of your hand.” ⇷———————༻?❀?༺———————⇸ ❀ Credits ❀ Layout: @Silent-Melody Audio: The Moon Will Sing – The Crane Wives Coding: @Silent-Melody Art: @Silent-Melody Design: @Silent-Melody
