Name: Glowing Fungi Pronouns: They/Them Backstory: Starting off as a gray kitten named Hawk, they loved to take care of mushrooms. Whenever they found a weak one, they would carefully dig it up and bring it back home to their mushroom sanctuary. Sometimes, if they found a particularly interesting one, they would do the same thing. Sometimes they would hear their parents whisper, "There's something wrong with them. I can't quite put my paw on it, but I think it's something about those mushrooms..." but they didn't care, as long as they had their little mushroom friends to help them. One day, on a hunting expedition with the rest of their family, they found a weak mushroom. Wait, was that another one? And another? Before they knew it, they were standing in front of the most colorful glowing mushroom they had ever seen! But then they realized that they were lost, and it was getting dark. Oh well, they had been lost before, and they had the greatest mushroom friend to help them at the moment, and it was pretty big, so they would start digging it up in the morning. But for now, they needed some rest. The next morning, Hawk felt different. They looked at their tail. Wait, there was a mushroom, and their tail was a different color! and on their back, there were more, and their back was red and orange, and their paws were a gold color, except for one blue one! they looked at their little mushroom friend on the ground. "Did you do this?" they whispered in wonder. The mushroom didn't say anything, but somehow, they knew that the answer was yes. "Oh boy, I'd better get going!" They said. They carefully dug up their mushroom friend and got going, following the scent trail back to the edge of the forest. But when they got there, there was something keeping them from leaving the forest, like an invisible force field. Then, in the distance, they heard a voice calling, "Hawk? Hawk!" "I'm over here!" They called out. "Hawk!" Something barreled into them. It was one of their siblings, Raven! "You look different!" Raven mewed in wonder. "Yes, and I can't leave the forest." Hawk said. "No worries!" Raven said. "When we realized you were missing, our parents said that it was for the better, which is why I'm going to live with you in the forest, Hawk!" "Wait." Hawk said. "If you're going to live with me, call me Glowing Fungi."
