Hahahaha my compassionate and sweet little child cursed with endless destruction >:3 - Bio: Name: Petal Nicknames: None Pronouns: she/her Gender: Trans Female Orientation: Questioning General Size: Average Height: 9.5in Design Notes: None of her accessories are optional, all of them are required Zodiac: Gemini MBTI: INFP-T Personality: Kind, altruistic, and compassionate, Petal tends to be a pretty good cat. She's rather insecure about herself: well, not about herself, but rather, her dark side. Every loving person has a deep, dark side to them, and Petal hates to acknowledge hers, but it is extremely potent... and cursed. Petal often brings up dark things by accident and her thoughts are often clouded with dark things, so much that she is almost desensitized and can creep out and push away those she knows. Whenever she experiences anger she is cursed to turn into a dark version of herself, a version of herself intent on destroying everything. The monster is nicknamed Thorn, and it unleashes all of Petal's negative qualities and amplifies them. Petal hates Thorn though Thorn is a part of her, which causes her to push people away and hide herself for fear of hurting them. Backstory (TW: mental illness, k!ll!ng, harming of self, lying, stealing, demons, monsters... it gets pretty dark): Petal's great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandmother was a thief and a liar. She stole from a powerful queen of a kingdom and a bounty was placed on her head, sending her fleeing from the kingdom and chased. She embarked into the lands of the demons, and made a bargain with the demon queen. If the demon queen protected her, then when she died, the demon kingdom would inherit her fortune. They agreed, and the cat told the demons that the fortune was placed in a chest that would open as soon as she died. The demon queen was evil, but had honor, and did not destroy the cat, deciding that waiting for the fortune was not the worst thing that could happen. The cat was treated with respect through her years and died happily. Sure enough, the chest opened after her death, but inside were only a few spare coins, not the riches promised. Most of the fortune was in the paws of the daughter of the cat, who was expecting a kitten of her own. The demon queen was enraged at the betrayal and placed a curse on the family of the traitor. She created the Dark, a parasite that feasts on the light inside a cat and amplifies the darkness, and creates a second side to the cat like Thorn is to Petal. Petal inherited the Dark gene and was cursed. her parents discovered this from an early age and kept baby Thorn under control, taking care to make sure that Petal was never made angry. But Thorn killed Petal's parents and left Petal alone, grieving and with only herself to blame, terrified of what was within her. She became depressed but didn't trust herself to talk about it, turning all of her anger into sadness and squishing her emotions down. Eventually a cat named Juniper stumbled upon Petal and befriended her, despite Petal's tentativeness. Petal was too embarrassed to tell Juniper about Thorn, but Juniper made Petal feel better and saved her from harming herself on multiple occassions. One day Petal trusted Juniper enough to tell her about Thorn, and Juniper helped Petal work through her anger and darkness. Juniper was the one cat that didn't fear Thorn or blink at the dark things Petal said, about the world and about herself. Thorn was unleashed upon Juniper often, but Juniper learned how to handle it and Petal and Juniper started dating queerplatonically.
