## ❀ Appearance ❀

He is beauty, he is grace; the regal and angelic Angelfishkit strides in on small, dainty, and pristine paws, feathered by his long, luxurious coat. He sports a seal-point calico pelt, soft and downy like the feathers of a young dove, the white on his pelt seeming to purify the spots and speckles that litter his coat. Seal point markings are located on his head, haunches, and tail, where they are intertwined with patches of pale ginger tabby stripes. A cowlick resembling a holy halo sticks up atop his head, along with folded ears. His eyes, framed by white eyelashes, sport a beautiful blue color with just the lightest hints of a fiery amber, like an intense inferno. Written by @shibastar

## ☁️ Personality ☁️

### Overview

( + ) righteous, kind, loyal ( = ) quiet, observant, honest ( - ) short tempered, low self esteem, antisocial

### Detailed personality

When gifted with a name like Angelfishkit, you'd expect nothing less than a kind, helpful, innocent person. Resembling an angel; his wispy fur, icy blue eyes, and his angelic cowlick seem to present the beautiful being. Although he's a generally kind cat, looks can deceive many; his looks and name seem to smother the aspects of him that are seemingly imperfect, or flawed in his perspective. There's a real person under Angelfish's heaps of silky fur, who may not be as angelic as others expect, yet still beautiful and meaningful. People just tend to overlook them.

( + ) righteous - Angelfishkit is always morally obligated to do the right thing. He's quite skilled at making the right decisions and will perform risky actions if it led to a good cause, sometimes without hesitation. if the choice was extreme and would cause life or death or a loved one, Angelfishkit wouldn't hesitate to throw himself into danger. Although he's always willing to do anything that leads to a better outcome, he wouldn't be as impulsive in more mild situations, such as making a difficult choice or choosing which path to take home while lost in the forest. He'd carefully think it through as much as his mind allows him, and then proceed. With that being said, Angelfishkit can be easily manipulated in situations where a loved one is in danger, as he wouldn't think about the consequences and impulsively put himself in a vulnerable state, or with careful wording, he could be tricked into a decision that puts his future/loved one's future in danger.

(+) kind - Angelfishkit has a very kind heart, and always tries his best to see the good in others. He tries not to make others look bad or keep burdens, even if they're a very bad person; he just can't deal with the guilt of adding fuel to a fire in a troubled person's heart. Angelfish tries his very best to be kind to others, and to understand other's feelings and points of view, so he can help them through hard things.

(+) loyal - Angelfishkit is very trustworthy. You can always count on him to keep secrets and to listen to your rants. he's a very loyal friend, for he has trouble finding people that understand him; once he's found someone, he will be forever loyal and trustworthy for as long as possible. Though abandon him, and he'll never quite be the same.

( = ) quiet - Angelfishkit is incredibly shy and quiet, one of the main reasons is because he simply can't find the words to show how he's feeling, unlike other cats. Angelfish would rather communicate through eyes and actions, for he feels it's easier to express himself through plain, meaningless words, especially with people he doesn't know very well.

( = ) observant - Angelfishkit views the world as if he were an old soul; though the vastness of the world and the beauty of nature is generally exciting, he tends to silently and peacefully enjoy it, marveling its splendor. Angelfishkit tends to observe others too, figuring out their mood by carefully watching their movements, tone of voice, and the brightness in their eyes. Angelfishkit is a natural empath.

( = ) honest - Angelfishkit is always brutally honest when someone specifically requests it. He isn't afraid to share his true feelings about someone or something without sugarcoating, as long as the person he is speaking to understands his opinion and agrees that they won't be upset.

( - ) short tempered - Angelfishkit can impulsively show strong emotions such as anger when frustrated, and it's almost completely out of his control. These outbursts of negative emotions can be provoked by anything, big or small, whether it be someone abandoning/cutting ties with him, or someone simply greeting him. Once he calms down, he tends drowns himself in guilt, ashamed of his emotions. Especially when people expect him to be perfect and angelic inside and out, he gets overwhelmed with people's standards and takes it out on others.

( - ) low self-esteem - Angelfishkit doubts his abilities quite often and tends to get smothered in his own self-deprecating thoughts. His disabilities separate himself from others drastically, physically and mentally. Many times, he just wants to be a normal person and fit in with his peers, to be able to climb and run; to know how to come up with the right words, to understand his sexuality, etc . "special" has even become a trigger for these thoughts, for he just wants to be seen as Angelfishkit, nothing more, nothing less.

( - ) antisocial - Angelfishkit is very antisocial, mainly because he isolates himself when he feels a twinge guilt, or can't find the words to say, becoming frustrated and running off to a spot where he feels welcomed and comfortable. Doing this causes a shortage of close friends, weakens emotional ties to loved ones, yet he cannot control it. When confronted with it, the inescapable guilt hits like a wave once more, and he isolates himself further. This can cause others to worry about his wellbeing most of the time.

## ❀ Strengths and Weaknesses ❀

### Weaknesses -

Osteochondrodysplasia: a disease recognized with skeletal deformities such as short, buckled legs and a thick, hard moveable tail. Angelfish will show signs of difficult mobility and lack of desire for jumping or climbing. This condition will worsen as he gets older and make him exceedingly more vulnerable to fractures and broken bones.

Klinefelter’s syndrome - a male cat with this syndrome is born with an extra chromosome giving them XXY chromosomes in order for them to be calico. Angelfishkit will experience many problems due to this syndrome, consisting of further weakness of bones, behavioral problems, and a higher body fat content that can lead and contribute to diabetes. This also causes Angelfishkit to be infertile. The behavioral struggles Angelfish will endure consist of impulsive emotional problems, low self-esteem, social problems such as self-isolation and a short temper. Especially with the fact that he presents an angelic, innocent kind persona, he will often get frustrated and angry when he sometime isn't what people are always expecting him to be.

With both conditions including severe skeletal problems, Angelfishkit will most likely develop arthritis as and worsens as he gets older, which can lead to heart problems and death. He will also most likely suffer immobility in elderly age.

## ☁️ Life ☁️

### Kithood

#### 1 moon -

Angelfishkit is born the son of two loner cats, who abandoned him and his sister Hellbenderkit in an obscure rabbit's burrow in the heat of new leaf. These kits were unnamed at the time, and never dared to leave the burrow. Angelfishkit remembers nothing but the cool soil underneath his paws and the spiky tortoiseshell pelt of his sister.

#### 2 moons -

Soon after the kits aged one moon, Angelfish's ears began to unfold, and his frosty blue eyes revealed to the world. Life was hard in the burrow that the kits resided in, there was little to no food surrounding them, and they hadn't had any milk at all. If an unexpecting warrior and apprentice duo hadn't stumbled upon them while running errands, Angelfish and his sister might not have made it through the rest of the night.

Buttonsaga and Baypaw, two wandering Thunderclan cats were venturing into loner territory, seemingly running errands or training. The sun was high in the sky, and it was quite the breezy summer day that was in fact bringing many warriors and cats out of their camps to simply take a stroll. Angelfishkit and Hellbenderkit were napping in their burrow when the voices of the conversing cats awoke them. Frigtened by the 'intruders' yet curious, the two kits made their way to the entrance, only their fuzzy pelts visible through the deep hole. Buttonsaga hadn't been looking where he was going and suddenly lost his footing when he brushed over the burrow, then peering down with Baypaw into the hole to be met with jarring red and orange pelts and the frightened milky eyes of the siblings. The mewling caught Baypaws attention as they padded quickly over to where Buttonsaga was sticking his nose into the hole in shock, their companion's astonishment contagiously spreading to themselves as well as they exchanged surprised looks. Never before would either of them think they would run into something so rare and unusual during their exploring. After threatening looks from Hellbenderkit and gentle consoling from both of the Thunderclan cats, the kits slowly let the sunlight wash over their fur and suddenly, they both never wanted anything to do with the burrow again. The dull, hopeless eyes the kits shared were dancing with curiosity now as they marveled at the glorious world around them, excitedly prancing around, the kits were unknowing of their future; nonetheless they were vividly enthusiastic about whatever it may bring. Angelfishkit remembers the symphony of singing birds and clashing trees so well that it serves as a core memory of his, supplying the foundation for his immense love for nature. Soon after this, Buttonsaga gifted them their brand-new names that were based off of their grandfather, Bubblecatcher. Angelfishkit and Hellbenderkit finally were ready to start their life.

After word spread around camp that two kits were recently found in loner territory, Angelfishkit experienced many cats approaching him in curiosity and affection. Angelfishkit's speech was underdeveloped at the time but was unnoticeable to many others, for he was simply a young kit. The silky furred kit's attention was stolen by the marvels of nature the camp withheld and could be seen in his own world most of the time. He would play with the ripples in a pond, staring back at his amber flecked eyes, and sometimes would simply stare at the sky until his eyes felt droopy. Because of this, Angelfishkit discovered a newfound hobby, stargazing. It calmed him down greatly, for the lavender hues that painted the sky were pleasing to his eyes and brought evening to midnight breezes that sifted through his luscious fur, it seemed to be shared by his nuncle Buzzswan, as they enjoyed the twinkling stars of the vast night sky together. ￼

#### 3 moons -

By now, Angelfishkit seemed to be well versed in the ways of the clan he lived in, yet still admired the world around him as it was endless and everchanging. He'd greet nature as a friend when he had none at the time, his underdeveloped speech becoming a slight cause of concern to others yet was brushed off again by the kit that was too occupied in his ways to notice, or simply care.

Angelfishkit seemed to not converse with many, for his social skills were still limited at his age. When some came up to chat, every word Angelfishkit attempted to form was forced and dull. He found it hard to talk to others for reasons his limited knowledge prevented him from understanding, but he soon came to a conclusion that everyday words were meaningless. They were sounds, specifically pronounced sounds that held little to no meaning, and were completely absent of life and emotion. Angelfishkit kept these thoughts mostly to himself, pondering them on rainy days when he felt the most content. Many weren't wandering camp as raindrops showered the clearing, allowing the seal point calico alone with his thoughts in the shade of a cedar tree that dampened tom's silky fur just enough to refresh and satisfy him.

#### 4 moons -

As loneliness, something Angelfishkit never thought would affect him began to dwell in the young tom's chest nearing the beginning of his 4th moon in kithood,
