-Epiphany

bio made on june 5th 2022 will reformat later so this fits the wiki but rn i am busy

Bio Epiphany//genderfluid afab (I’ll use he/him pronouns in the bio just to keep things less complicated and I feel he is more masc rn)// 10 moons/N/A//loner//long fur that is soft and kind of feathery in the case of his tail, near his face, and a few other places when he is healthy, but rn it is kind of matted and tangled due to recent neglect (more in backstory). Fur coloring: dilute torbie (aka a patched tabby, aka a tortoiseshell tabby) with white: paws, chest, belly, muzzle + a bit more of his face, one of his ears, tail tip, and a little near his eyes as that seems to be fairly common for american curls i think, and lastly in the torbie pattern part there will be a few small areas of white sorta swirled in. curled ears due to being an american curl (research will be provided later on). Also in some places the white definitely contrasts what it is next to, and in some places it fades in more naturally if that makes sense. His eyes are dazzling green with flecks of gold near the pupils. Currently he is fairly small and scrawny (again due to neglect) . I may try and make a ref soon, but I don’t think I’d be very good at drawing him// Epiphany is clever and uses that and his creativity often help him get out of tough situations. He tends to be very nervous and skittish and have a hard time trusting most other cats and connecting with them. He gets anxious and is easily stressed. He often snaps when stressed. He’s very determined and won’t give up easily especially when another cat is depending on him. He can be pretty sarcastic and often tries to hide his pain behind jokes. He may break down and get overly emotional and frustrated pretty often, but he always get back up and keep trying to get what he wants until he gets it. Epiphany does not believe in luck. he believes in coincidence and working hard to get what you want. Cats who just expect everything to be handed to them annoy him, he’s also quite intelligent. He tends to be observant and try and notice little things. he hates being alone, but he also hates being in crowds. So it’s best for him to be around at least one cat at all times. He doesn’t often feel good enough due to being abandoned and so sometimes puts a lot of pressure on himself because he is terrified cats will leave him if he isn’t good enough, even Noel, his sister who has been with him through everything //probably pan and demi. Would probably be alright with a poly relationship if he really did grow to trust those cats//7/10? idk//Epiphany and possibly his sibling Noel if they get made lived with their elderly housefolk who treated them well enough though sometimes got a little annoying as housefolk are prone to do. One day the kittens were shut in the basement as something was happening upstairs and their housefolk didn;t want them in the way. But their housefolk never returned to let them out and there wasn’t a lot of cat food in the basement. They waited and waited but she never returned and finally they came to the conclusion she had abandoned them (actually she had been rushed to the hospital) and began trying to escape. Unfortunately soon enough the food had run out and while there were some mice that had gotten into the basement, they were too weak to be successful in most hunting attempts and plus they had ever tried before, but they managed to stay alive. At last they managed to find a way to escape and they now wander the wild as loners. This all happened fairly recently as in I think it has been perhaps one in rp week since they escaped Accent: undecided probably louisiana creole.

## Life

### Kithood(1-6)

(uncannon) An american curl named Angel was the family pet of the Toussaint family. When she had kittens two she-cats, they gave them to the husband's aunt, an old woman named Françoise who had just lost her pet cat of 8 years. Françoise adored the two kittens and named them Epiphany and Noel after two of her favorite holidays. She doted on the two kittens and they had everything their hearts desired. Though there were many times the curious kittens tried to sneak outside, since they didn't seem to think the few times Françoise took them for walks was enough

### Apprenticeship age(6-13)

When Epiphany and Noel were around 10 moons their housefolk locked them in the basement as she often did when she had important stuff she needed to do and didn't want them getting in the way. There was plenty of food and for a while things were fine. Then a few days passed, the food had been gone for a while and their housefolk was still nowhere to be seen. They searched for food but could find little more than bugs to eat which did nothing to satisfy their hunger. Eventually they were able to escape out a window that was extremely hard even for them to reach. The two sisters knew there would be plenty of twolegs willing to take them in and they would get lots of food, but this experience had led to a deep mistrust of twolegs, and for Epiphany claustrophobia and trouble trusting anyone. So they decided they would try and live on their own. For the first few days they lived under an old abandoned monster at the edge of the forest slowly building up the courage to venture farther in. They also practiced hunting skills but for the first few days they survived off of crow-food if they could find anything and they were still constantly hungry.

One day while exploring, Epiphany hid in a bush after they and Noel ventured further into the forest where prey was more abundant, and watched a cat named Sage making flower crowns and while at first they wondered if they might have to fight her, which they doubted they could do. But after a while watching her make flower crowns became almost relaxing a nice distraction from Epiphany's anxiety which at the time was nearly always present. They considered speaking to her, the possibility of friends was kind of tempting but no, they wouldn;t trust anyone besides Noel. They wouldn't get hurt again. However, the stranger called out to her anyway. Nervously they stepped out and just instinctively said they weren't stealing anything. Sage asked why they were spying and Epiphany made a sarcastic comment about being so interested in the flower crowns. Sarcasm was a good defense mechanism they had learned. Sage told them to leave, but Epiphany refused to be scared and said there was enough room there for both of them and they just wouldn't bother each other. Sage made a comment about how Epiphany was kind of dumb for wanting to stay in this place, introduced herself then left.

A few days later Epiphany was in a clearing in a rainstorm and saw a lone tree to take shelter under but there was another cat under the tree and her fear of strangers nearly won out especially because this cat looked like they could be hostile but eventually they got brave enough to take shelter under the tree. (and i forget what else happened and who this cat was I think their name was Dust or Cloud!!)

12 MOONS: Although they had more skill in hunting now, prey was still scarce and Noel and Epiphany were still often hungry. On a day where they particularly hungry and only eaten barely any crow food for the past several days, Epiphany had the great luck of finding a plump mouse but another cat was hunting it, a loner named Sulfur. Fearful of this other bigger cat, Epiphany let out an involuntary gulp which startled the mouse and it darted off. The two cats chased after it and in the commotion crashed into each other. Immediately they forget their fear and just became angry with aer. They yelled that they'd been about to catch that mouse Sulfur curtly responded that so had ae. Both of them were prepared for or rather expecting a fight, but they Sulfur noticed just how skinny Epiphany was. Epiphany's fear came back and they stumbled back saying the prey was gone and they didn't want a fight. They started to leave but Sulfur had taken pity on this nearly starving cat and said ae wouldn;t let them die and would get them some food. Although Epiphany felt close to passing out from hunger, they hated the idea of accepting favors and placing trust in strangers and the thought of this led her to panic and not be able to stand anymore and fall over. Standing up though having to use a tree for support, Epiphany said they'd made the mistake of trusting before and just needed Noel. Eventually though they reluctantly agreed to accept Sulfur's kindness, but they did argue some. Sulfur wanted Epiphany to stay there and rest but Epiphany wanted to find Noel. Sulfur really did genuinely seem to want to help, but Epiphany was still suspicious, but they just had to eat. Sulfur left to get prey and a while later came back with a small bird. Still not trusting aer, it was a while before they took a bite of food. Realizing just how good it was to have food in their belly, wolfed down half the bird then begrudgingly thanked Sulfur and they told each other their names. Sulfur said that any ethical cat would have given them food, but they pointed out that they weren't so certain Sulfur didn't have ulterior motives. They talked a bit longer and Epiphany decided that in this case, Sulfur probably was just being nice and once they were able to, left to find Noel and give her the other half of the bird. (also some other rps i don;t remember)

One day Epiphany and Noel were driven out of their home by the worst storm they had ever witnessed (of course they hadn't been in the wild very long, but they'd seen many storms from the window in the past) They found the boats and quickly realized that was their only chance. But in the crowd, she and Noel got seperated. Epiphany ended up on Wavebringer and Noel ended up on Gravelines.

### Adulthood(13+)

The seperation from Noel left Epiphany with a strong sense of anxiety, and combined with having to be with so many twolegs in a confined space it was even worse. Epiphany found beauty in the tapestries of the ocean on Wavebringer, but they also brought this strange feeling to her. It was a sort of terror but also awe of the sea's power. This unfortunately led to a fear that huge waves would come crashing down on the ship and drown them all. One day while Epiphany was looking at the tapestries, they met a blind she-cat named Clematis. It was late at night when most of the cats were asleep, so Epiphany was a little surprised and got defensive demanding to know why Clematis was following them. Clematis nervously apologized, and Epiphany apologized for snapping at her. She admitted that she was on edge but since they were on the same boat literally it made more sense to at least try and get along. They introduced themselves and talked about the boats a little as well as the food. Then they talked a little about ThunderClan. Epiphany still found the ideas of clans very odd. The conversation soon ended up turning to twolegplace which was definitely a painful subject for them both and they quickly changed the subject.

about 14 moons: Epiphany was feeling stressed one day on the boats and a kit named Patches tried to cheer her up and told her she said look on the bright side essentially and Noel (because she had mentioned her) wouldn't want her to be like this. Epiphany just lost it and attacked Patches giving him a scratch that wouldn't cause any lasting damage but definitely hurt. Immediately Epiphany felt really bad but wasn't sure how to apologize. a day or so later she met Ocean, Patches' adoptive mother. Epiphany tried lying and saying her name was Rainbow, but she quickly broke down and confessed that she had attacked Patches. Ocean seemed annoyed but not too angry. for the next few moons though, Epiphany had this fear that Ocean would try and get revenge.

15 moons I think? Late one night aboard The Guild (I think) Epiphany was on the deck, watching the deep blue ocean, and shivering in the cold. she didn't want to sleep below decks though, as he fear of being trapped in a closed space was really strong that day. A tom from RiverClan named Thistlecrown saw that she was cold and since he was fluffy, offered to keep her warm. At first, Epiphany did not agree to this. Not sure she could trust this cat and not wanting to owe him anything

(things to add: say stuff probably happened at mirror isle and the other one, leviathan's wake with the kraken, seeing a tentacle, arguing with that one cat about whether or not it was real (honestly probably need to dig for most rps. meeting felix and his whole bunny cat deal and all his stories and their weird on and off friendship/rivalry, exploring with noel, another encounter with felix, meeting swialtlo and teaching her how to hunt, meeting up with belligerentharvest and noel to discuss the two of them maybe joining thunderclan. epiphany doesn't seem too keen on the idea, yet another encounter with felix the one with the badger and trying to get him back to twolegplace only to realize after his twoleg isn't even there and getting angry with him and herself, swim lesson with thistlecrown, mental breakdown to noel the evening after swim lesson. meeting larkspur (possibly for the second time) meeting lilacsun and spoiler alert the meeting sucks (also note to self have that affect my rps more) (gap i forget what goes in) getting sick and sicker, really sick, considers stealing herbs from thunderclan's border but belligerentharvest helps her and she admited to needing help. fae took her to thunderclan. meeting algaeisle, meeting sterlingflutter, reuinting with Noel, another swimming lesson with Thistlecrown, Felix and the monolith, noel's death
