Cygnet

"Yeah, well, I don’t see a point in trying to be trustworthy when people are gonna assume I’m not, no matter how hard I try." - Cygnet, said to Scampermizzle.

## Physical Description

Cygnet is a large, well groomed tom who stands at 13.8 inches tall. Despite his his lanky legs, he is quite athletic and well built. His long fur covers his muscular build well. His fur is plush-like and warm, contradictory to his unfriendly nature. Cygnet is a cinnamon point with medium white spotting and freckle markings on his face. He could very easily described as cute, though it is an ironic descriptor. He has large pale blue eyes that are both rounded and sharp.

## Personality

Due to the pampering of Swan, Cygnet is quite stuck-up. He believed as a kit that he was the best, and that those who don’t view him as such are mean/bullies, which translated to the treatment of his clanmates. After Swan's death, he began to hate all of his clanmates due to their celebration of his mother's death. Deep down it does hurt him quite a bit to feel so out of place in a place he is meant to consider as his home, and the mistrust from his clanmates is something he is extremely bitter over. He feels disconnected from the clan, leading to difficulty forming lasting relationships with his clanmates. This disconnect, in addition to what happened with his mother, causes him to be harsh in his actions with his clanmates. He feels like if his own clanmates won’t trust him for reasons he can’t change, then he might as well act in a way that deserves that mistrust, leading him to be quite the aggressive troublemaker. He is quite impulsive. He has a mischievous streak a mile wide, though he is extremely charismatic with a silver tongue and quick wit that means he can talk his way out of most conflicts if he tries. He is very defensive of the people he cares about, and is extremely confident in all of his actions. He is a quick learner, being particularly skilled at fighting more so than hunting. He wants desperately to protect himself and the rare few people he actively cares about. He has an early-developed habit of verbal self-aggrandizing to compensate for a negative self image developed by constantly being surrounded by those who celebrated the death of his mother. He does strive to be the best, and it frustrates when he isn't. When other’s skills surpass him, he works until he can definitively call himself better than them. He \*is\* self-aggrandizing, but he likes to be able to back it up as well by actually being the best.

## Skills And Weaknesses

Cygnet is a skilled liar, though he has a tell in the way that his ear flicks forwards whenever he does. He is charismatic and a good people pleaser when he chooses to be. He is good at sneaking around and keeping secrets, having done a lot of it as a kit when he often put thorns into the nests of the warriors. He is a quick learner, and does well in fast-paced situations.

Cygnet lacks in patience, and this makes him a lackluster hunter. He has trouble focusing when not talking about a topic that interests him or talking to someone he likes. He doesn't know where his limits are, and overexerts himself to an extreme degree. He has extreme trouble opening up to people emotionally.
