ABOUT THE APPLICANT ҉ wsg hi howdy it’s your local jester’s fool @clockworkmouse- , or cicada C: for pronouns tbh i don’t mind much but I default to she/they with gender neutral terms usually ҉ I’m an artist, writer, and roleplayer here on scratch, mostly making art for wcrps (all of my non wcrp art stays off of scratch because I don’t feel like sharing it) ^^ I also like making kandi and do theatre. in terms of interests I like psychology, history, vocaloid, musicals, various games, and will wood / wwatt ҉ activity’s an 8.5 or 9/10 or so. I check in here multiple times a day. i only do my replies once a day (very rarely twice), but i still can check in on any major problems and respond to certain threads (i.e. ceremonies and group threads) before this. i see it, trust me, i just have a set time for my replies for consistency. when I’m not on break and have school, I check in inbetween classes and may reply then to take my mind off things, but it’ll still likely be mostly once a day. long story short… i check in a LOT, i just only do replies once a day, unless someone catches me and replies immediately after my reply ҉ i currently own peppered-mothsnap, cavernclan’s mediator, and prosperitypaw, a Falconclan apprentice. I’ve had other characters in the past but tbh NONE of them were memorable or important in the slightest ;-; TSS is my only roleplay atm, as i enjoy the relatively low stakes vibe when compared to gens ^^ ҉ I think I should win because. uhm. tbh any other applicant would also be an amazing fit for shapeshifter but I can say that Shay will be showered with art and affection by my very responsible hands if they find their way into my life.

THE KIT ҉ SHAPESHIFTER . one that seems able to change form or identity at will ҉ applying for secret second kit that definitely exists… yeah i’m applying for shapeshifterkit, super hard to tell I know /sarc /j ҉ i am applying because they have an interesting quirk and because I... on occasion... have been known to hyperfixate when a new Pokemon game comes out. it's not one of my main fandoms but I do thoroughly enjoy the games and think the cards are pretty C: (don't even begin to try and explain the rules of the tcg to me I am totally lost on that end sob) ҉ So… Shapeshifterkit. The kit was taken back to camp already bursting with energy (as proven by the…erm, innovate insults it spouted—“let me go, you GLORIFIED ZEBRA!”), even at 2 moons. As soon as the disgruntled, dirty fluffball was dragged into the medicine den by their scruff, it was clear they had a big personality. Something that would only become more and more prevalent as they grew. This was not helped by the fact that the kit held a special little quality. One they would realize when they stumbled from the edge of the Greenleaf Glade straight into Seaclan waters, and the cat's feathers switched to gills in a flash. Things were about to get a lot more interesting for the young Falconclan cat... And a whole lot more hellish for the warriors in charge of making sure the little shapeshifter didn't stumble off into somewhere they shouldn't be. ✼ ҉ ✼ ҉ ✼ ҉ ✼ ҉ ✼ ' ' the devil made me do it ! . . . / but i also kinda wanted to ;) ' ' ✼ ҉ ✼ ҉ ✼ ҉ ✼ ҉ ✼ iii. IDENTITY ҉ agab : aiab ( see research in section VI) ҉ shapeshifter will grow to learn that they don't care about their gender. they're just... shapeshifter. OORP their labelled as cassgender and use any/all pronouns + neos with a very slight preference for they/it. ҉ romantically, shapeshifter isn't really necessarily focused on the mushy goodness. it won't fall in love with just any old cat. while they don't care about the gender of their partner, they'll have to get to know 'em first before feelings can be unveiled. though, it may not stick in for the deeply intimate moments, not feeling that its attraction runs that deep. oorp it will be labelled as demiromantic + panromantic, in addition to being asexual ҉ shay's love language is words of affirmation. though, it should be noted that they have a slightly unorthodox way of voicing their affection. it's got a flare for the dramatic and the loud, so it'll deliver its words in that fashion. ҉ both romantically and platonically, shifty likes a cat who can match their high energy and adventurous nature. no sticks in the mud here! cont.
' ' i'm cut from a different kind of meat / more than you can chew, hard to swallow me ' ' ✼ ҉ ✼ ҉ ✼ ҉ ✼ ҉ ✼ iv. PERSONALITY ҉ simple blurb : little energetic gremlin. ball of positivity. maybe too positive at times. adores exploring and general codebreaking behavior. fireweed collecter 5000. truly caring inside, just... a LOT. like candy. American candy. ҉ [ + ] optimistic , confident , determined ✼ detailed : always with a skip in their step and a (admittedly not so melodic) tune emitting from their maw, shay is a little ball of sunshine. always 98% sure of what its doing, and with plans it won’t stop until they’re complete, it’s a force to be reckoned with. trying to convince them to drop a goal they truly believe in is like coaxing a boulder to move with a slice of cake. impossible, unless you break the laws of the world as we know it. always looking on the bright side, with a smile and a head held high, they’ll face any issue with unmatched vigor. ҉ [ = ] adventurous , ambitious , extroverted ✼ detailed : not all who wander are lost. if that wasn’t true, shay would be the most lost little one in the entirety of the shores. it does a lot of exploring, to the point where its guardians have to constantly make sure it doesn’t skitter off and reappear deep in pyroclan territory. after all, shift plans to do big things; to become known across the entirety of the shores, to explore every inch of land, etc, etc… how are they meant to do that when everyone’s always grabbing their scruff? despite its quarrels with authority, it still loves to talk to all cats. any age, any clan, they’ll yap a poor cat’s ears off. best to keep ‘em in camp for now… if you can manage that. ҉ [ -- ] arrogant , reckless , naive ✼ detailed : if your friend jumped off a bridge, would you? well, shapeshifter probably would, if you told them it would be fun and there was shiny rocks at the bottom. it’d even do a backflip for funsies. shay’s not the smartest goose in the flock. well, kind of. they’re averagely smart, just quite full of themself and gullible. it’s here to have fun, and it knows the best way to do that. however, with a fun loving spirit comes a lack of complex contemplation. eat that pinecone over there? sounds fun enough, sure! though, it’s not stupid. xey’d never do something blatantly dangerous, but it could be convinced to partake in more mildly risky hijinks if the prospects are entertaining enough. basically, truly just a fun loving little one, but full of themself and lacking in critical thinking when it comes to fun shenanigans. ✼ ҉ ✼ ҉ ✼ ҉ ✼ ҉ ✼ ' ' forget bored stiff, i got rigor mortis, call it morbid curiosity how i / cannot commit to reality, when my third eye's open and i like what i see ' ' ✼ ҉ ✼ ҉ ✼ ҉ ✼ ҉ ✼ v. TRIVIA + EXTRA GOODIES ҉ nicknames : collects em! shapeshifter, shape, shifter, shay, sha, shift, shifty, si, whatever you can think of, really ҉ besides nicknames, this little being collects fireweeds. they definitely take advantage of their shapeshifting to commit as much (trespassing) crime as possible. I can imagine it getting a bunch of cross-clan friends... and into a LOT of trouble. ҉ definitely speaks with an accent of some sort. maybe slight southern or new york ҉ va : (kit/early app) josie (i think that was his name) / the boy from seusiccal (late app/warriorhood) crutchie from newsies (except Shay doesnt stutter unless it’s nervous but I’m running out of ideas man :sob:) ҉ no matter how much turmoil they put hoopoehunter through /hj, shay truly loves their mama. it loves to play games with her at any given opportunity and report various mischevious doings to her to get advice on how to do better hijinks. in hard times, it'll try its best to be vulnerable with poe, but it struggles a bit with opening up about feelings-- particularly negative ones. ҉ codewords : banana yellow dogs go bark bark and cloudy cats flop in the grass ҉ when scared, angry, excited, or otherwise feeling strong passionate emotions in Barrens form, their little neck fluff poofs up. can sometimes be found trying to bury its head in it, even when sleeping as a Falconcat in FC camp ҉ often prefers spending free time in the barrens. open space to run, no annoying mentors (usually), and tons of sand to dig in! (they love digging random holes and sitting inside, all comfy and poofed up like an angry snake) ✼ ҉ ✼ ҉ ✼ ҉ ✼ ҉ ✼ ' ' baby, i may be crazy, but i didn't lose it, no i... set it free / i can't ignore what's under dance floorboards ' ' ✼ ҉ ✼ ҉ ✼ ҉ ✼ ҉ ✼ vi.
