- Winter Nights [] An Arctickit application - By @FeatherHollow2048 - About me - Hey there! I’m FeatherHollow2048, but I go by Featherhollow or Feather. I most often use she/her pronouns, but I’m fine with being referred to as they/them. I love to draw, (Mostly cats, but also dragons and humans as what I draw most often) and animate! I also love reading, dancing, and theatre. I can play the piano, but I’m a little out of practice, and I play cello is my school’s orchestra. - Activity (1-10) - So, because it’s summer, and I’m either going to be busy, or not busy and just get much of a chance to be no scratch, probably like a 6.5 or 7, but once the next school year starts and I get my Chromebook back for the year, It’ll likely rise to about an 8. I will try to get on at least once a week, or maybe every couple of days, but I might not get the chance to every now and then. - Which kit I’m applying for. - Arctickit! Gosh I love her so much! Akkk! Her design is so pwetty! - Future Identity - I would probably make her demigender, and give them she/they pronouns. She’s probably going to be omniromantic and asexual. - Personality - ( 3 positives, 2 neutrals, 3 negatives. ) (+) Kind, Persevering, Hardworking, (=) Independent, Protective, Curious (-) Blunt, Stubborn, Slightly sarcastic - Detailed Personality - Arctickit is an energetic and independent young kit who likes to be able to do things herself with as little help as possible. She cares deeply about certain things, especially regarding her family and friends, and won’t let anything get in the way of them, or her goals. She often doesn’t take a lot of things seriously, but for things she’s good at, or likes, she’ll keep trying at it until she perfects it. - Allegiance - I plan for Arctickit to go to Urchinclan if I get her. - Past characters - I’ve only had one generations cat, Mistypaw. Scratch.mit.edu/projects/1306444327 - Research - Chimerism is a condition where the cells in a person’s body has two different sets of DNA. One way this might happen is if someone gets an organ or blood cell transplant. After this, the person has a mix of the DNA from their own blood cells, and the DNA in the cells that were transplanted. Another way is through what is known as the Vanishing Twin Effect. This happens when one dies in the womb, and the other absorbs the cells from the first one. This twin may grow up with different skin tones, eye colors, or blood types. Most people with chimerism don’t know they have it, or don’t show any signs of it, and it is usually diagnosed through genetic testing. - cw - In the winter, it never really gets cold enough to snow where I live, and if it does, it’s only a light dusting and doesn’t stick to the ground. I wish it would snow more so that icicles would hang from the roofs, because I think that it’s cool when that happens. - extra - Favorite food/prey: fish or sparrow, favorite color: blue-grey, favorite season: winter, Nicknames: Arctic, Art, Tric. - sources - For my research, I mainly used National Cancer Institute (www.cancer.gov)
