Trinket Square

## About Trinket Square

### Origins

Trinket Square was once a populated Two-leg village called Seaside Town, with many people, cars, and other things. It was a very rural village though, and alongside the other village, Cowrie Village, they were very satisfied for moons and moons. Until a tornado stormed upon The Great Isles, which drove the villagers from their homes, destroying their houses, monsters, and everything they owned. Cowrie Village got the worst of the damage, with the Two-leg nests being completely destroyed, the monsters being critically damaged, and the town being almost unrecognizable. Seaside Town was still down bad, but not as bad as Cowrie village. Many, *many* moons later, a cat named Trinket, who was what he called himself a "merchant", found the town. He and his friends populated it, so it was very deserted for the time being, but as the population grew, the town grew with it. Soon, Trinket died and the village was named after him, as Trinket Square. Many jobs were created and filled up and it's just bustled from there.

### Territory

Trinket Square is located in an abandoned Two-leg village, which they keep very pristine. The Two-leg nests are long gone and half destroyed by now, but many of the Trinket Square cats and their families live there. They're not far away from SeaClan's territory and Sunset Meadow.

### Prey and Predators

Cats are obligate carnivores, but in this RP the TS cats eat lots of different things. Some families prefer to catch live prey, while others would rather cook and eat things they create.

Prey consists of:

* Mice. They reside in the little nooks and crannies of Trinket Square. -
* Squirrels. Trinket Square is near the forest, so those who hunt can find them in trees. -
* Rats. They're rarely found, because most are targeted and killed to prevent infestations or attacks, but some like the taste of rat meat. -
* Foxes. Yes, you heard me right. Sometimes, the TS cats find foxes infiltrating on their territory. They're usually chased away, but some like to take their meat and make their pelts into apparel.

Other food consists of:

* Fruits safe for cats, such as watermelon, bananas, blueberries, apples. -
* Vegetables safe for cats, such as carrots, peas, corn, broccoli, green beans, lettuce, winter squash, and pumpkin. -
* Various seeds, for those who like them.

Predators consist of:

* Snakes. Alike the mice, they hide everywhere in the small spaces of Trinket Square. Few are venomous though.
* Rats. If the rat population is not controlled, there can be an infestation and sometimes those groups attack cats if they feel threatened.
* Foxes. They can come from the forest nearby, but from the large amount of cats that live in TS, they are either chased away or killed for their meat and fur.

### Ranks/Jobs

I felt like this needed its own category, since the Trinket Square cats have a much different lifestyle. It's sort of like the Clans, but much, much more civilized.

* Guard. Guards are trained at a young adult age to protect Trinket Square. They go through 6-9 moons of training, which usually starts at fifteen moons old. They are also like the police of TS and prevent any cats from doing anything wrong. Their trainer/head is called a Deputy.
* Mystic. Mystics are the cats who use herbs and remedies to cure illnesses and injuries. If they have an apprentice to take on their legacy, that apprentice is usually trained for 6-10 moons. Their trainer/head is called a Healer.
* Exterminators. Exterminators usually work alongside the guards as a guard, but if there are any threats like rats or other predators, the exterminators usually find and kill them. Their trainer/head is the same as the guards.
* Cluecat. Cluecats and their apprentices solve the mysteries of Trinket Square, such as disappearances, murders, and other crimes (yes, the TS cats have laws and it's similar to human laws). Their apprentices are usually trained for a while, to point out psychological and physical clues, for about 10-12 moons. Their trainer/head is called the Solver.
* Merchant. Merchants collect and sell things they find, grow, or make. It's pretty self-explanatory, and a very common job in TS.
* Suppliers. Suppliers are divided into two categories; tailors/seamstresses, and welders. Tailors and seamstresses make accessories out of fabric material they find, that can be sold by merchants who have to buy them to sell them, and welders make all the rings for marriage. They find scrap metal from the city and use that to their advantage.
* Farmers. Farmers are also very, very common. They grow the fruits and vegetables, mostly to sell for money, or to eat for themselves.

### Traditions

#### Marriage:

Trinket Square cats picked up marriage from SeaClan, and they vowed to provide golden rings for them to use, as well as themselves. It's basically the same as SeaClan's marriage things, except they use an actual veil for the feminine accessory and a necktie/bowtie for the masculine's accessory.

#### The Harvest Festival:

Every leaf-fall, they have the Harvest Festival, which celebrates when Seastar became friends with the Trinket Square cats. They usually hold a feast, sell items, chat, hold contests and games, and lastly, a dance.

#### Namedays:

Namedays aren't a celebration for the whole of TS; rather families. Namedays are the moon of a season you're born in. Each season has three months in it; so for example, your nameday could be the third moon of spring or the first moon of winter. These are not celebrated on a specific day; the families will ask the cat with the nameday what day in the moon they'd like to celebrate it in.
