## Personality

She is curious. When it comes to new ideas, Junebugkit isn't interested in brooding– she wants to go out and experience things and doesn’t hesitate to step out of her comfort zones to do so. Junebugkit is imaginative and open-minded, seeing all things as part of a big, mysterious puzzle called life. She's observant. Junebugkit believes that there are no irrelevant actions, that every shift in sentiment, every move, and every idea is part of something bigger. To satisfy their curiosity, Junebugkit tries to notice all of these things and to never miss a moment. Energetic and enthusiastic. As she observes, forming new connections and ideas, Junebugkit won’t hold her tongue– She's excited about her findings, and share them with anyone who’ll listen. This infectious enthusiasm has the dual benefit of giving Junebugkit a chance to make more social connections, and of giving her a new source of information and experience, as she fits her new friends’ opinions into her existing ideas. Junebugkit is definitely an excellent communicator. It’s a good thing that Junebugkit has such strong cat(people) skills, or she'd never express her ideas. Junebugkit enjoys both small talk and deep, meaningful conversations, which are just two sides of the same coin for her, and is adept at steering conversations towards her desired subjects in ways that feel completely natural and unforced. She knows how to relax. It’s not all “nature of the cosmos” discussions with Junebutkit– She knows that sometimes, nothing is as important as simply having fun and experiencing life’s joys. That Intuitive trait lets Junebugkit know that it’s time to shake things up, and these wild bursts of enthusiastic energy can surprise even her closest friends. She's very friendly. All this adaptability and spontaneity comes together to form her, who is approachable, interesting, and exciting, with a cooperative and altruistic spirit and friendly, empathetic disposition. Junebugkit could possibly get along with pretty much everyone. She has poor practical skills. When it comes to conceiving ideas and starting projects, especially involving other cats, Junebugkit has exceptional talent. Unfortunately her skill with upkeep, administration, and follow-through on those projects struggles. Without more hands-on people to help push day-to-day things along, Junebugkit's ideas are likely to remain just that– ideas. She finds it difficult to focus– Junebugkit is a natural explorer of interpersonal connections and philosophy. It’s hard for her to maintain interest as tasks drift towards routine, administrative matters, and away from broader concepts. She overthinks things. Junebugkit doesn’t take things at face value– She looks for underlying motives in even the simplest things. It’s not uncommon for Junebugkit to lose a bit of sleep asking herself why someone did what they did, what it might mean, and what to do about it. She gets stressed easily. All this overthinking isn’t just for her own benefit. Junebugkit is very sensitive and cares deeply about others’ feelings. She often overworks herself and might get asked for guidance and help from others. She's highly emotional. While emotional expression is healthy and natural, with Junebugkit, even viewing it as a core part of her identity, it can come out strongly enough to cause problems for her. Particularly when under stress, criticism, or conflict, Junebugkit can experience emotional bursts that are counter-productive at best.
She's independent to a fault. Junebugkit loathes being micromanaged and restrained by heavy-handed rules– she wants to be seen as a highly independent master of her own fate. The challenge for Junebugkit is that she lives in a world of strict rules and nasty herbs. Junebugkit's personality is a true free spirit. She is often the life of the party, yet Junebugkit is less interested in the sheer excitement and pleasure of the moment than she is in enjoying the social and emotional connections she can make with others. Charming, independent, energetic, and compassionate, she's likely to be felt in any crowd. More than just sociable cat-pleasers though, Junebugkit, like diplomatic cats, is shaped by her Intuitive quality, allowing her to read between the lines with curiosity and energy. She tends to see life as a big, complex puzzle where everything is connected– but unlike analyst cats, who tend to see that puzzle as a series of systemic machinations, Junebugkit sees it through a prism of emotion, compassion, and mysticism, and always looking for a deeper meaning. Some cats may likely to find these qualities irresistible, and if she's found a cause that sparks her imagination, Junebugkit will bring an energy that oftentimes thrusts herself into the spotlight, and might be held up by some of her peers as a leader and a guru– but this isn’t always where independence-loving Junebugkit wants to be. Worse still if she finds herself beset by the administrative tasks and routine maintenance that can accompany a leadership position. Junebugkit's self-esteem is dependent on her ability to come up with original solutions, and she needs to know that she has the freedom to be innovative– She can quickly lose patience or become dejected if she gets trapped in a boring role. Luckily, Junebugkit knows how to relax, and she is perfectly capable of switching from a passionate, driven idealist in the workplace to that imaginative and enthusiastic free spirit on the dance floor, often with a suddenness that can surprise even her closest friends. Being in the mix also gives her a chance to connect emotionally with others, giving her cherished insight into what motivates her friends and colleagues. She believes that everyone should take the time to recognize and express their feelings, and her empathy and sociability make that a natural conversation topic. Junebugkit needs to be careful, however– if she relies too much on her intuition, assume or anticipate too much about a friend’s motivations, she can misread the signals and frustrate plans that a more straightforward approach would have made simple. This kind of social stress is the bugbear that may keep some harmony-focused diplomatic cats awake at night. Junebugkit is very emotional and sensitive, and when she steps on someone’s toes, she, and possibly the other cat, feel it. Junebugkit will spend a lot of time exploring social relationships, feelings, and ideas before she finds something that really rings true. But when she finally does find her place in the world, her imagination, empathy, and courage are likely to produce incredible results. Possibly known for her idealism and enthusiasm, Junebugkit is good at dealing with unexpected challenges and brightening the lives of those around her. Junebugkit's imagination is invaluable in many areas, including her own personal growth. Yet Junebugkit can be easily tripped up in areas where idealism and kindness are more of a liability than an asset. Whether it is finding ((or keeping)) a partner, staying calm under pressure, reaching dazzling heights on the career ladder, or making difficult decisions, Junebugkit needs to put in a conscious effort to develop her weaker traits and additional skills. Junebugkit tends to be curious about others and preoccupied with discovering the deeper meaning in cats and ideas. She wants an authentic experience and often seeks emotional intensity. She's easily bored by details and repetition and seeks out situations that offer an escape from the mundane. Novelty is a major trait of Junebugkit. Junebugkit prizes individuality and often considers the pursuit of happiness to be the highest priority in life, both for herself and for others. She places great importance on personal freedom and self-expression, and want to be able to go wherever inspiration leads. She's overemotional and approval-seeking. While emotional expression is a core part of Junebugkit's identity, she can come on too strong. The bubbly, energetic style of Junebugkit doesn’t mesh well with every partner, and introverts, in particular, may sometimes feel steamrolled in her presence. Junebugkit is also an approval-seeker, and in her desire to receive praise and acknowledgment she may try a little too hard to make a good impression, talking too much and listening too little in the process.

"Accept the fact that if it looks like a duck, swims like a duck and quacks like a duck..."

Junebugkit is intuitive and has a sharp eye for detail. She makes a mistake, however, when she insists on looking for hidden motivations or covert agendas everywhere. In normal social encounters, Junebugkit should make a real effort to give everyone the benefit of the doubt and take words and actions at face value. Assuming the worst can be a self-fulfilling prophecy, since some cats may eventually sense Junebugkit’s mistrust and return it in kind.

## Skills and Weaknesses

**▶Mental Development**

*Junebugkit mentally develops slower than most, which means she won't understand things as quickly as others and will take more time to learn. An example of this could be her at, per se, two moons and still not able to speak English like the other kits at her age.*

**▶Build**

*Junebugkit has a light frame and slim, rather lean build. Because of this, she's more athletic and "acrobatic", being able to squeeze into spaces with ease. She can also bound and leap quite far because of her frame and runs at amazing speeds.*

**▶Folded ears**

*You might be wondering this~ "What's so wrong with folded ears?"*

*Sure, it makes Junebugkit look cute and precious, but it has a disadvantage to her.*

*"In the early 1990s a group of Australian veterinarians demonstrated convincingly that all Scottish Fold cats have abnormal bone development of their distal limbs. This is generally associated with early onset and accelerated progression of osteoarthritis (degenerative joint disease) in joints of the distal limbs and tail. The ankle and wrist were the joints most obviously affected, especially the ankles." ~More information on the fold condition can be found here.*

**▶Balance**

*Though Junebugkit's tail is only half the size of an average tail, it still has it's downfall~ Balance. A cat cannot balance properly without a full tail.*

*Sure, she was born with it and has whiskers, but the tail is a major part to her balance. Her adorable looks pays a price.*

## Life

### Kithood

*↭0~1 m↭*

⇋⇌

**▶Abandoned**

Junebug was left for dead by her Mother after she realized that Junebug has a bunch of worrying conditions.

**▶ Renny**

Not too long after being left for dead, Junebug decided to mewl alot. A non~binary ShadowClan warrior, better known as Cherrydust, found her and decided to take her to ShadowClan camp.

**▶ New Home**

Cherrydust brought Junebug to ShadowClan camp, calling her Junebugkit and nicknaming her Beetle Baby. The cats that appeared were Mousepelt, Petalwish, Morningpaw, Ladybugpaw, Swiftgaze, and Rapidscorch.

Petalwish showed her affection, a *lot* of it, then she opened her eyes.

**▶ Morningpaw~ Rp 1/?**

Junebugkit met ShadowClan Apprentice Morningpaw in a face-by-face confrontation and handed her a grasshopper.

Birchberry also appeared, greeting Junebugkit. In response to this, she fell over and Birchberry helped her up.

**▶Poolpaw~ Rp 1/?**

Junebugkit was watching a spider weave a web, then Poolpaw approached and asked her what she was doing.

**▶Squeakdawn~ Rp 1/1**

She sniffed out the scent of herbs- Something new and unfamiliar- and decided to explore. Squeakdawn was there.

The first thing she did when she entered was flop over and sniff the floor, that action seemed to weird Squeakdawn out.

It kinda just ended there

**▶Rapidscorch~ RP 2/?**

Junebugkit was batting at a beetle when a ShadowClan Warrior, better known as Rapidscorch, approached her and said something to her. She slid the beetle to him and he slid it back. Junebugkit once again slid it to him, but this time she gave him a pouty face.

He then asked her if she wanted him to keep it. She didn't know what anything he said meant, but she did squeal at him.

He asked her what he should name it and she just responded with "Pthdrk!", which wasn't actually an answer to his question. He guessed she meant Pathdark.

He set Pathdark the beetle on his own forehead and she pounced onto his face, batting at it.

**▶Firefly~ RP 1/?**

Junebugkit followed a butterfly around, it flew off. She saw Firefly and decided to try and get his attention. She then slammed a paw on a cricket and accidentally killed it. Junebutkit doesn't understand the concept of death, so she thought it was just being still or something.

Firefly buried the cricket and then accidentally stepped on Junebugkit. Good times, people, good times!

He then walked off, obviously nervous.

**▶Sproutpaw~ RP 1/?**

She waddled after a cricket while Sproutpaw clan-watched. He said hi and then she entered a state of absolute confusion. They then squeaked at one-another.

**▶Ladybugpaw~ RP 2/?**

Ladybugpaw was entering the Nursery in search of Junebugkit and called her name. Junebugkit suddenly bursts out of a pile of moss and squeaked- "Hvhfdhcvj!" Ladybugpaw introduced herself, stating that their names were similar and that Junebugkit was her relative. She entered another state of confusion.

**▶Birchberry~ RP 2/?**

Junebutkit followed a snail, "racing it". Birchberry watched. She followed the snail to the entrance, out of camp. Birchberry quickly placed her tail in front of Junebugkit. In return, she bit the Warrior's tail.

The Warrior winced, then began to explain to her about how she couldn't leave camp without a Warrior by her side. Junebugkit, not understanding any of this, waddled off after a different snail.

**▶Jaybrook~ RP 1/?**

Junebugkit inspected a snail while being watched by Jaybrook. She then smelled food, a new type, and went to check it out. Jaybrook got nervous and thought about if Junebugkit was old enough to eat Fresh-Kill((Spoiler- She wasn't)).

"She wobbled dramatically up to the Fresh-Kill Pile in a slow fashion, as if to add intensity to the scene."

Junebugkit then flopped over, making noises and scaring the crap out of Jaybrook.

**▶Hazelblossom~ RP 1/?**

Junebugkit chased a grasshopper around and Hazelblossom walked over. She then stopped chasing the grasshopper and let out a chorus of wordless mews. Hazelblossom greeted her.

Junebugkit flopped over and did a blep, causing the Warrior to chuckle, then squealed some gibberish- In which Hazelblossom didn't understand.

*↭1~2 m↭*

**▶Petalwish~ RP 2/?**

Junebugkit was being frustrated, flopping over and blowing raspberries. Her Mother began commenting on how adorable she is. Junebugkit approached her, then bunted her.

Petalwish tried to guess what she wanted.

**▶Rapidscorch~ RP 3/?**

   Rapidscorch had entered the Nursery and Junebugkit popped out of a pile of moss.

**▶Sootriddle~ RP 1/?**

   Junebugkit played with a Mossball and Sootriddle introduced himself.

**▶Floodbriar~ RP 1/?**

   Junebugkit stumbled around whilst Floodbriar ate a mouse, Junebugkit caught her eye and Floodbriar introduced herself. Junebugkit only responded with gibberish and the Warrior commented on the fact that Birchberry had told her about Jubgub.
