hello and welcome to my little entry! i've tried to include as much detail as possible for autumn, so follow the table below to see the different parts ^^ ————————— ➴ table of contents • a bit about me • roleplay experience • initial ideas • personality • roleplay sample • research for bobtail • other/trivia ————————— ➴ a bit about me: - hello, call me pidge/raine/harbour! i use she/they, and i'm probably what you'd call a nerdy teen, whose interested in writing, drawing and constructing backstories and lore for oc's or au's :D my account may be new, but i've actually been on scratch for many years (probably 4+ in total?!). i've been in the warrior cats fandom since i was 9, i don't read the books anymore but i am interested in joining the roleplaying community! ➴ roleplay experience: - i have little proof of this, but i distinctly remember being in multiple smaller wc rps in the past. since i've been on scratch before, i'm aware of tfcrp and how it functions, but i've never actually had a character in there before (apart from my cat nebulafreeze who i just got accepted for yesterday). it would be a first for me to have a character from a kit, and i'm sure i would really enjoy building up the personality! :) ➴ initial ideas: (i'm just going to list them. these are just my first impressions/ideas) - in later life autumn would discover they are enby, using they/them! - she will identify as pansexual - her personality in one word could be described as 'curious', as a kit (and adult!) she would love to ask questions and go exploring, wanting to find out as much as possible every day - when she's not out on adventures, she's in her own head daydreaming. mostly about large fields she can run through, or beautiful multicoloured butterflies she can chase for eternity. even as an adult autumn would be very in touch with her inner child - she would often be quite oblivious, such as to other cats emotions or intentions, which in some cases may not be the best as it could lead her into danger, but in others may be optimal, as she lacks any self-consciousness and feels no restraint from others opinions on her - bumble bee social butterfly hybrid?! /hj - she loves nature. and insects. specifically bees and ants; she would love how fluffy the bee's are, and how organized the ants are - a little scatterbrained at times, but always with good intentions. autumn would never hurt a fly (literally) - (hopefully) autumn would have a strong bond with her family, caring deeply about them and, especially when she's younger, wanting to spend most if not all of her time with them - better listener than talker (unless the conversation turns to insects) - as a kit she would prefer to watch/play more quiet games than playfight ➴ personality: - i will first put her shortened personality, then write a little for each section (positive, neutral and negative) - (+) curious, friendly, positive, gentle, imaginative - (=) adventurous, carefree, escapist, daydreamer, amiable - (-) scatterbrained, inattentive, inscrutable, forgetful, oblivious - positive (+): autumm loves to question everything and everyone; from a young kit she would develop a passion for learning and knowledge. with curiosity being her fuel, she would tend to have a positive outlook on life and everyone, making her extremely approachable and kind, even if occasionally she is caught in her own little world. they say intelligence warrants a big imagination, and autumn is no different. - neutral (=): with her love for learning, autumn adores nature and exploring every inch of it! as soon as she is allowed to adventure out and around her home she'll be off, returning with a bucket load of questions and new wonderful ideas to daydream about. she's an extremely calm and 'go with the flow' type of cat, never one for worry, simply of the mindset of 'everything will be alright in the end'. this attitude is possibly one of the healthiest a cat (or person) could have. - negative (-): with all that daydreaming and being caught inside her own thoughts, autumn is frequently forgetful and sometimes a little disorientated as to what is going on or what has just been said. that being said, she does not mean to be rude whenever she forgets what you just said. sometimes she can a little difficult to read, something she adapted at a young age, so her resting 'smiley face' could be mistaken for being judgey or unkind. her inability to properly read others may also not work in her favour, despite her not meaning any harm. ➴ roleplay sample: - just a little rp sample, i can do a joint one if necessary! - (autumn, she/her, 4 moons) Rays of sun glinted through the slits in the roof of the barn, escaping from their burning star to invade and scrape the corners of this particular home. You could almost call it foreshadowing. For most of the sleeping cats, this small pool of warmth was appreciated, like a particularly nice mouse, but for one adventurous kit, this was all the temptation +
(cont from above) + they needed to whet her appetite of the great outside. Autumn rose to her paws, wide hazel eyes focused on the barn doors. Of course she knew she shouldn't- not without any sort of supervision, but what if...? Just a peak would be fine, surely? A peak of the glorious outside, with the morning sun and light to spark their curiosity and joy. Autumn had already made up her mind, traipsing as carefully as a clumsy kit could towards the front of the barn. Her attention kept flitting to all the other interesting parts of her home. A scurry of a mouse. The rustle of hay. The floating dust in the gloomy light. But no. She must stay focused. Autumn made her paws step one in front of the other, heading towards the doors, keeping her ears flitted forward and eyes focused and unblinking on the slither of light; the promise of a beautiful view. And what a sight it was. Autumn peaked her head out of the barn doors, blinking a little as her eyes adjusted to the bright light. A smile filled her face at the sight of a tranquil orange sunrise. ➴ research: - bobtail: naturally occurring bobtails are due to genetic mutations, and can have some health issues, such as early arthritis, spine deformities and coordination/balance issues. it may be more difficult for cats with bobtails to jump and climb, as cats use their tail for coordination, so with a smaller tail this won't allow them to coordinate as good as cats with longer tails. however, with practice and support, cats could adapt and learn other methods of balance, especially if they are born with the mutation and have been used to it for all their lives. https://www.quora.com/What-problems-do-cats-with-short-tails-face https://www.purina.co.uk/find-a-pet/articles/cat-types/breed-guides/cats-with-no-tails ➴ trivia: (just some more little ideas about autumn!) - her scent would probably be a mix of honey and hay (like a dusty sweetness if that makes sense?) - she would have no preference for seasons, autumn loves all times of the year and weathers, as they all offer different things to explore and knowledge to chase! - her favourite prey would probably be any type of bird, as a kit she would have been fascinated by how they fly and their sweet songs - her physical strengths are tracking, remembering where things are (like environmentally, her other memory isn't the best), spotting details and her running speed - her physical weaknesses are climbing, balance, running in a straight line and catching smaller preys (her bobtail off balances her slightly) - she wouldn't collect anything as such, but she would be interested in seeing how many different bugs she can find in a certain area. in warmer months she would count how many bee's she sees - i would say this song (sarah) would be one of her theme songs. the lyrics 'stuck in a dream' just matches her idk :') - i am using she/her pronouns on her, but as previously mentioned when she is older (maybe around 10 moons?) she would question her identity and eventually arrive at using they/them - i just know if she were a human she would be one of those quiet artsy queer kids (which totally isn't like me!! /j) - some of her 'likes' would be going for long walks, mimicking bird calls (mostly as a kit), seeing any type of insect, spending time in the company of others and watching the sunrise/sunset - some of her dislikes would be pessimistic/doubtful opinions, sarcastic humour (she doesn't really get it), bug killers and that weather where its hot and dry and misty (tbh everyone hates that lol) so you just have to stay inside ➴ i think thats everything i had in my mind for autumn! if i think of anything else i will add it, but thank you for the opportunity, autumn is an adorable cutie patootie and i would be honoured to rp her <3 oh and enjoy the little bust of her hehe ————————— art by me design by @1gamer234567 music is sarah by alex g
