## Physical Appearance

Myrtlekit is a tall, graceful tom with short, silky, cinnamon ticked-tabby fur, a slender build, and large, pointed ears. His legs and tall are long and his almond-shaped eyes are hazel, though they appear to change color with the light. The combination of these traits makes this tom's Abyssinian lineage clear. Myrtlekit could easily be mistaken for a she-cat.

## Personality

Myrtlekit is a slightly withdrawn, thoughtful kit, who is irrepressibly curious about the world and how it works. He finds ideas and theories much easier to deal with than other cats, often unintentionally annoying or even upsetting others because he finds them emotionally difficult to understand and deal with. Myrtlekit can be incredibly stubborn, always believing that he knows better than everyone else, and refuses to admit when he’s wrong, even as it becomes increasingly obvious.

As he grows up, the fact that his mother never returned for him begins to affect him even more, and he tries to be the best at everything to ensure that no one ever leaves him again. He struggles when he can’t be of use, and blames himself for things that go wrong, even if they have nothing to do with him.

Myrtlekit has a very strong moral code and tries his best to put others before himself; he has a slight saviour complex, likely due to his issues with abandonment and feeling that he *has* to be useful, believing that it’s his responsibility to help and ‘save’ others in any way that he can. This can be manipulated by cats around him with less than good intentions, particularly his milk brother, Bashfulkit, who he wholeheartedly trusts.

He is intelligent and driven, but struggles in social situations and often does his best to avoid them, despite having a sort of charming awkwardness that makes him appear quite approachable. When he doesn’t get things right first try, he often berates himself for it, and is unlikely to try at something that he is not immediately good at.

## Life

### **Kithood**

Myrtlekit was found as a newborn by Tarantulahunter and Cinnamonsparrow of Thunderclan, his mother having abandoned him shortly after birth and his father totally unknown. The pair took him back to camp and decided to raise him as their nephew,

At one moon old, Myrtlekit (still unnamed) began to move more freely about the nursery. He met Buttonkit, the son of Bubblecatcher, a cat who had only recently returned to Thunderclan with his kits. Myrtlekit also met Tvistochik, forging a friendship with the other kit after he fell down due to his small size, and Myrtlekit checked that he was alright.

At two moons, Myrtlekit met Buzzkit, Buttonkit’s brother. Buzzkit mistakenly called him ‘Merrykit’ at first, unaware that the other kit had no name. When he finally admitted this, Buzzkit tried to help him think of a new one, sifting through various flower-related options. Whilst ’Raspberry’kit wasn’t sure yet, he promised to give it some thought. A few sunrises later, he met Bristledream.

At three moons, he decided on the name Myrtlekit, taking into account Buzzkit’s earlier suggestions of flowers. He also met Merrykit, a new addition to the nursery, who was also a loner-turned-Thunderclan cat.

At four moons, Myrtlekit met Bubblecatcher, the father of Buzzkit and Buttonkit.
