Welcome to my application! || Online nickname: SuchCuteKittens || Pronouns: She/her || A bit about me: Hi, you can call me Kat, Kit, or Kitten! I love animals of all kinds, especially cats. The irony of me applying for this litter is that I happen to have ADHD, social anxiety, and insomnia, a combo of all three kits! || Roleplaying experience: I haven’t ever been in an official roleplay online, but I like to roleplay IRL. || Activity on a scale from 1-10: About lets say, 7-8 most of the time. || Current character and info about them: I don’t have a character yet. || Previous characters: I haven’t been in this roleplay before || How frequently I go on a long hiatus: I went inactive for about two years, starting in 2021, but I hope to never do that again. || How frequently do I hurt my characters: I get very attached and would likely refrain most of the time. || Kit I’m applying for: Balterkit || Why do I want this kit: 1. I have to start somewhere 2. My friend is in Windclan 3. I’m a sucker for heterochromia || Final sexuality and gender: They will be bi in the end, with he/they pronouns || Detailed personality: On first glance, you might think this tall tom was as quiet as a mouse. And he would be, at least for a little while. As soon as he’s gotten over his anxiety, this feisty spitfire might soon make it hard to fall asleep. With his silly personality and odd antics, his quirky nature is hard not to like. Well, unless you’re annoyed easily. This feline still keeps his quiet secretive face on in public though, so his friends might need to stand up/speak up for him instead. This tendency make him very loyal though, and if they aren’t back, he will start to spiral into loneliness and stress. || Shortened personality: Curious[=] Shy/Reserved [=/-] Bubbly [=] Bossy [-] Silly [+] Worrywart [-] Loyal [+] || How long will I keep this character: As long as I can || Research*: Partial blindness — (Note: I couldn’t find anything for partial blindness, so I just researched full blindness.) The reasons of Balter being born half blind vary, though his blue eye probably developed too small, which may by a genetic disorder, since his mother is also blind. Balter will rely on his other senses more, though not fully, since he still has one fully functioning eye. Source — https://www.thesprucepets.com/how-to-help-a-blind-cat-553892 Polydactyl toes — Polydactyl cats have more toes than usual, which is caused by a genetic mutation. This means they usually have wider, bigger paws. Polydactyl paws can be beneficial in balance, hunting, and climbing. It would affect Balter’s skill greatly, and he would excel in catching prey and other related duties. Source — https://www.thesprucepets.com/polydactyl-cats-4175908 Anxiety — (Note: I chose to give Balter social anxiety, which I have, and it shouldn’t be too hard to get into character.) This is a mental disorder that will affect Balter’s social life. He mind come off as standoffish or unintelligent, if other cats read the stutter-like quiver in his voice as not knowing what to do. He will also avoid other cats and have a lot of stress about what people think, and it could potentially turn into depression. His anxiety may also result in destructive behavior, over-grooming, etc. Balter would, of course, hide his anxieties from his friends, as he would want them to worry, or worse, think him weird.

His siblings and father had already left though, and being left alone terrified him just as much. Finally, he mustered his courage. Balterkit cautiously poked his head out of the entrance. The pale-furred kit’s eyes widened in awe as he surveyed the huge cave he called home. The kit overcame his tentativeness and scampered around, collecting the tiny fragments of crystal that had broken off of the larger ones which adorned the cavern. Just then, an unfamiliar Windclan warrior entered main camp. Balter took one look at the other cat and dashed back into the of the nearest den, which happened to be the leader’s. Oh, and thank Starclan! Unbeknownst to Balterkit, while he had been collecting, his father and siblings had come back. Balter was swept into the comfort of his afternoon grooming, and he soon was asleep, exhausted from the events of the morning. || Trivia: Fears — Mild gelotophobia, enochlophobia, and thalassophobia (specifically being far from shore) Scent — Milk (coconut, for some reason), fresh rain, and crocus petals (both from exploring) Likes — Collecting, talking with friends, going on walks Dislikes — Being told off by his friends, being bossed around, being left alone +
+ Nicknames — Milkshake, (Chocolate) Malt, B || Tfcrp codewords, litter codeword: I really like Orion’s Belt, a constellation. I love violets, irises, snapdragons, orchids, etc. Peaches are delicious. ||Other: --- [rules] now for perhaps the [second]most important part; the rules. i know, ew gross. but they're necessary. - Please only apply if your character is 20+ moons, will be 20+ moons old by the time this closes, and you have kept your character for 5+ weeks or you do not have one. - Apply in a project!

The oldest of the litter. A pale beigey red feline. A perfect blend of the mother and father. Rosettes along his back, with a dark colored cape. Paws dazzled with sock like markings, very similar to his mothers and fathers. He has one amber eye and one pale blue eye. The blue eye lacks sight, just like both of his mother’s eyes. His fur is much slimmer than that of all his other siblings, lacking the fluff, but still the tallest of all four at 14 inches, the same height as his father. As well as polydactyl paws from his father. Though this poor lad does struggle with anxiety, just like his mother does. Disorders that need to be researched: Half-blind, anxiety, polydactyl toe(s) Disorder(s) that don't need to be researched: Heterochromia
