~ ABOUT ME ~ Hello! I'm @JunoStarre (JunoStarre w/o @), though I typically go by Juno. I'm a high schooler and I love writing, reading, and art! I've been roleplaying pretty much my whole life, first in the way that children do, then I moved to Roblox, and finally here! I've had two other cats before this, Belladonna and her child Camaspaw. ~ KIT I'M APPLYING FOR ~ I'm applying for the dear beautiful Hailstormkit! ~ FUTURE IDENTITY ~ Hailstormkit will know he is transmasc from a young age, using he/him very early in kithood, and will stick with those throughout his life. He'll be bi, with a preference for she-cats. ~ PLANS ~ I will keep him forever!!! He'll ideally live longer than both my previous cats because I love him so much. I want him to become a medic ideally, being a devout StarClan believer and strongly anti-Dark Forest, trying to spread this ideology and 'fix' those who prefer the latter. Later in life, he'll have something of a crisis of faith, no longer sure if he can really do anything to make cats stop worshipping the Dark Forest. ~ ABOUT THE KIT ~ Not really sure what to put here I cry... ~ PERSONALITY ~ [Simplified] {+} Compassionate, loyal {=} Observant, level-headed {-} Naive, overconfident [Detailed] {+} Hailstorm is a very kind, compassionate cat who loves to help others. He's very devoted to those around him, loyalty unwaivering. {=} He is very observant and analytical, choosing to look at every angle of a situation before giving his input. He rarely blows up about anything, perpetually rather calm. {-} He believes that every cat can be good, to an almost problematic degree. This can blind him to bad intentions in others. He's also very confident in his own abilities, too confident even, so he struggles with knowing his limits. ~ WHY I WANT THIS KIT ~ Honestly, I mostly want him because of his name and that adorable design! He is the perfect vessel and I would cherish him dearly. ~ RESEARCH ~ Hailstormkit will have both vitiligo and autism. [Vitiligo research] Vitiligo is a chronic disorder characterized by white patches. It's caused when cells stop producing melanin. It can cause heightened sensitivity to sunburn, eye problems, and hearing loss. Hail will have generalized vitiligo, the most common kind, affecting various places of his body. As he ages, patches of fur and skin will grow white, growing as he does. He won't mind it. Due to his increased risk of sunburn on the lightened patches, he will likely avoid being outside for too long. Resources: PubMed Central, Mayo Clinic, Cleveland Clinic [Autism research] Autism is a condition related to brain development. It begins in early childhood, and may cause difficulties functioning in society as an adult. Not every person affected by autism will present the same, as it's a spectrum. Hail will struggle with eye contact, and have a more outwardly deadpan face. He will also have a hard time decoding the emotions of others. He'll frequently bob his head or swish his tail and he'll be somewhat clumsy. He'll struggle with very bright lights, further discouraging him from prolonged periods of sun time, and will likely hate gatherings due to the loudness and crowds. He will often fixate on certain, very specific things for elongated periods of time. As he ages, this will not change, but depending on the reactions of other cats around him, he may begin trying to hide these behaviors. Resource: Mayo Clinic + I likely have it, getting the official diagnosis tomorrow! ~ TRIVIA ~ His voice claim is Reverend John Hale :) He's based on Reverend John Hale :) His favorite color is white. Yes, it's kind of boring. No, he doesn't care. Least favorite color is yellow. No idea why, he just doesn't like it. If he doesn't become medic I'll give him a sheep :) I want to give him braids at some point ok? He would look so good with them... Didn't know where to put this but um he would be going to FlurryClan if I had him ~ RP EXAMPLE / CW ~ Hailstormkit stepped out of the nursery, his wind-whipped fur blowing about in the strong, violent billows that nearly blew him over. He squeezed his eyes shut, already regretting his decision to leave the comfortable safety of his nest. Nonetheless, he persisted. Pawstep after pawstep, he continued forward, ears flattened against the howling gusts that raced through the forest. Nevermind, he wanted to be back in his nest. He quickly turned tail and fled back to the slightly-shaking nursery, despite almost stumbling a few times, and curled up in his nest. Safe at last.
