Hyacinth Pyra

Hyacinth's Ref Sheet by @Eribear164 on Scratch

*❝ I was impulsive and didn't care about what others felt back then. You opened my eyes by telling me that there were consequences to my actions, but I still remained dismissive and selfish. But now that Iris is gone and I killed Mayfair, it's all different now. Turns out that, surprise surprise, others **do*** *have feelings and that hurting them isn't okay. I of all cats should know that. But getting friends just kind of made me get carried away. I wondered: how many boundaries can I push until they leave me? And I thought there was no limit. After all, friends were supposed to stick by you and do everything you wanted. That's how I ended up being so toxic towards everyone around me. ❞* - Hyacinth to Banshee

## ➳ Backstory ➳

*//CW for Mentions of Alcohol, Homophobia and Swears (Censored)//*

Hyacinth was born and raised in District 8, where his family and he were talented at sewing. Nothing extreme ever happened, and they had a happy life. Those were good times.

Until his father began drinking. He began to become verbally abusive to Hyacinth, harming his self-image and self-esteem. This got worse as he got older, from just verbal abusing to physical abusing. He would claw him, but not enough to leave a mark, which was due to the family's pride of being good-looking cats.

One day, as he came home from school some bullies followed him. At this point, he had come out as gay to everyone at his school. Most were okay with it, but there was also an equal amount that were disgusted, repulsed. So it was no surprise when his bullies began calling him slurs and homophobic names. Unfortunately, his father was outside at this time. He heard everything. He eventually stepped in, chasing the bullies off, but dragged Hyacinth inside by his tail. He questioned him about everything, and Hyacinth, with tears in his eyes, said that he was gay.

His father didn't take this well, exploding in that moment. He practically chased Hyacinth around the house while mocking him and calling him slurs. His father had almost caught up to him at that moment, until his mother stepped in. They both agreed to a divorce, but not before his father had left Hyacinth feeling like he was a useless piece of sh\*t. He hated himself. He thought that maybe if he wasn't the way he was, if he had done better, his father would've maybe stayed?

## ➳ Reaping ➳

Hyacinth was horrified to be picked... seeing cats as terrifying monsters, he couldn't breathe, couldn't move... His only emotion was fear. Terrified and alone, he said: "Goodbye, ma, I love you..."

## ➳ Training ➳

Hyacinth entered the training arena, and soon met a cat named Iris. After Iris teasing him multiple times, they become friendlier to each other, and she ends up showing him poisonous berries to avoid, while he teaches her how to sew. Eventually, the two become allies.

He also meets Starling and Iniko, whom he quickly befriends after a prank of them dumping honey and ketchup onto his fur. After a while, he begins to crush on Iniko.

Hyacinth breaks his leg after a fight with some holograms.

Hyacinth gets a sugar glider as a pet; he names it "Melon".

Hyacinth does his tribute parade thing.

Hyacinth and Iniko go for a midnight meeting to go and watch Melon exist. Melon goes savage and bites Hyacinth's paw pad. Then he turns on Iniko and smacks him.

Hyacinth meets Banshee, and they basically get into an argument over who's life back in the districts was worse. Hyacinth wins (I think) and they are both now on good terms.

Hyacinth swears in front of Iniko one too many times, and now Iniko is probably concerned over Hyacinth's mental health.

Hyacinth meets Dusk, promptly deciding to annoy him until they make each other do what they're bad at. Hyacinth forced Dusk to climb, and Dusk made Hyacinth learn to swim. Hyacinth can... almost swim now. Almost.

Iris and Hyacinth get into an argument over whether Hyacinth would make a good victor or not, and their relationship basically falls apart. They go back to their rooms and cry.

Hyacinth tells Iniko why he's been acting weird, and then he starts dating Iniko after a confession that may or may have not been extremely cheesy.

Banshee and Hyacinth get into another argument, leading to Hyacinth trying to kill xem. Just before he could, Peacekeepers pull him off of Banshee just in time. Banshee then decides to tell all of Hyacinth's allies, maybe for manipulative reasons.

Iris and Hyacinth get into an argument about the attempted murder.

Hyacinth decides to make up with Banshee, because he feels bad about Iris feeling sad. After lots of sobbing, whining, crying, and Banshee pouring burning coffee onto his ear (causing the tip to be nicked) they become allies. Hyacinth still doesn't trust xem, but he wants to try and make things better between the two of them. Hyacinth starts to be a jerk again, because they're allies, and allies will never turn against each other!

Iniko confronts Hyacinth about the situation. He is now even more concerned over Hyacinth's mental health, but Hyacinth brushes off his concerns.

Starling confronts Hyacinth about the situation. Kaz, Starling, Iris and Hyacinth all agree to stick together in the arena.

Karito confronts Hyacinth, who acts rude and dismissive towards him. They are *not* on good terms, to say the least.

Hyacinth goes to prom with Iniko, and they dance absolutely horribly. When the light shines on Karito and Ray, he can't help but feel a little jealous. They discuss therapy for Hyacinth, and Iniko admits to Iris being slightly afraid of the ginger tom.

Hyacinth continues to have a toxic relationship with Iris, threatening to leave her and then returning when she starts crying. In his eyes, Iris will *never* leave him because they're best friends! Iris is having second thoughts about Hyacinth, because she feels like the naive cat that she once loved like a brother will never return. Hyacinth snaps at her because of this, saying: The old Hyacinth isn't coming back! Deal with it!

The Alliance has another meeting, revealing that Kaz switched to Tide, and that Dew would be added to the Aliance, and Iniko will be added if the Merge happens before there are two cats.

Hyacinth gets into *another* argument with Banshee. The conversation started out neutral, with Hyacinth apologising for his actions, before it quickly turns hostile. Hyacinth tells Banshee that he's *glad* that Alphecca injured Banshee, and in xeir frustration, they almost stabbed Hyacinth with a pencil. Hyacinth tells xem to do it. After all, maybe then he can be the one who manipulates all xeir allies into hating xem. Banshee leaves, angry with Hyacinth. The cream-and-ginger tom feels no remorse for his actions.

## ➳ Arena ➳

Iniko is switched to Canopy.

Hyacinth and Starling climb to the top of the Cornucopia before anyone else does, grabbing supplies and running for it. Iris and Iniko meet them in the mangrove forest. Dew comes a little later, remaining quiet throughout most of the meeting. They create a tree-house, with Iris putting a barrier of poisonous plants around the tree.
