## Skills/Faults

*Skills*

Ragamuffin is good at approaching strangers and quickly becoming friends, mostly due to their friendly questioning and thus is actually quite knowledgeable about a large range of topics because of this curiosity. He notices small things others don’t. Additionally, while their curiosity often gets her in trouble, it also brings about some helpful tips or tricks every now or then, or sometimes even some inside knowledge or access. They’re happy to do menial tasks others get bored of quickly, and are almost always underestimated.

*Faults*

Ragamuffin has their fair share of just pure bad luck, out of no flaw of her own. He’s not physically fit, agile, or strong despite being quite an outdoorsy cat (for a kittypet). While not usually a problem, they have a fear of water and swimming. He can get sarcastic or sassy at the worst of times and has been in their fair share of tussles with rogues for this. However, due to their passive philosophy she’s never learned to defend themselves and would never attack another cat. They’ve tried hunting, but has never quite gotten the hang of it.

## Personality

A nihilistic pacifist, Ragamuffin is laid-back, passive, and not very active. Others often assume her pacifism is due to their general laziness, and while they are quite lazy, his passiveness stems from a belief that the more entangled cats get in anything the worse it becomes. So they’ve adopted the habit of just staying out of it all. Additionally, he’s a very peaceful cat, always doing their best to keep the peace and avoid violence at all costs. Ragamuffin describes herself as carefree of all the world’s troubles, not bothering with worrying over small things. Unfortunately, the kittypet’s philosophy extends to their hygiene as well and so she almost never bothers to groom themselves from their muddying exploits. Luckily for him, their adopted sibling, Nepenthe, often steps in and gives them a grooming. Although they may be an unlikely pair, Ragamuffin is extremely fond of her neighbor and loves spending time in the afternoon sun talking with her. The two often have fun bullshitting with the other cats in their neighborhood. Other than that, he is also very curious about everything, often putting herself in harms way (Nepenthe affectionately claims Ragamuffin is the reason “curiousity killed the cat” became a common saying). This includes the way other cats live, especially ones not living with twolegs and surviving on their own, and they’ve become fascinated with this Clan of cats nearby. On the topic of romance and love, Ragamuffin doesn’t bat an eye when it comes up. Their easy-going nature lets him flirt in return effortlessly and shrug it off again just as quickly. While she isn’t romantically interested in a cat right now, they’re open to the possibility of a mate and kits if the right cat happens to pop along. They’ve become rather good at giving advice about the subject as well, thanks to all their practice with Nepenthe. Ragamuffin is content about spending life laying in the sunshine and laughing with her friends. They’re not very ambitious and quite happy with what he’s got.

## Detailed Appearance

At first glance, the most eye-catching thing are his eyes. Large, round, green owl-like eyes with huge pupils that, when they’re not contently closed in the sunshine, are wide open in a near constant expression of awe or surprise. Her thick coat is black on top along their back and shoulders, with a white undercoat along their large paws and tummy. Her muzzle has a couple of splotches of black as well as a black nose. The best descriptor to their figure may be rotund. Everything about him is soft, appearance, movements, posture. They radiate an aura of soft tranquility. She always wears a camo colored collar with a big golden bell, that jingles at their every move. The more one studies them however, the more this ragged unkemptness stands out. Their fur is often dusty and ungroomed, various leaves or twigs poking out here and there.

## Backstory

Ragamuffin was born in the Lambent Enclaves along with their littermate, Milquetoast. Exploring, getting dirty, and snoozing comprised of most of her kithood. As he got older the kittypet roamed farther from home, having explored every inch of the Enclave twice already. They grew an interest in anything new and exciting, becoming well-acquainted with every cat within their reach. When she heard of the Springtide Festival, Ragamuffin absolutely had to join the group heading out on the adventure, and what an adventure it was. New faces, new smells, new traditions, all of it so exciting! The only condolence he was offered at the end of it was that the Festival would take place again next year. Though they slept in the day the party left for the Festival that next year (and mourned about it a whole day), they wouldn’t miss it again for the world, and this year is bringing along a special guest. Ragamuffin and Nepenthe met a little less than a year ago when the she-cat moved in next door and the two quickly became good freinds as he showed her everything, basically adopting her as a little sister.
