Minkkit

Minkkit is a bit of a mystery. Appearing in OrchidClan's nursery overnight with Badgerkit and only the faint scent of a rogue to explain their presence, Minkkit's true origins are fuzzy. She was, however, adopted by Moonmist and accepted by the Clan. Beyond that, what really matters?

## Appearance & Personality

### Appearance

   Minkkit has a very small, slim build. Her fur is sleek and very short, more like fuzz than fur. It will thicken when she gets older. Her coat is dark gray in color, with white on her tail tip, chest, and three dots under her eyes. There is also some black on her ears, back, and tail. Her eyes are green.

### Personality

Minkkit prides herself on her intelligence. She likes using big words and has a lot of curiosity about the natural world. She has a hard time admitting that she's wrong about just about anything and takes great care to present herself in a respectable manner. She loves her brother, even if she often chides him for using words or phrases incorrectly. v polite

## Background

### Kithood

Minkkit was born outside the Clans to a molly named Quill. Minkkit and her brother, eventually named Badgerkit, were born a little prematurely and, due to Quill having the plague shortly before their birth, she only barely survived.

Their father, Shard, was an odd cat. He claimed to have visions, hallucinations that he had deluded himself into seeing as a kit that had only gotten stronger as he'd gotten older. He saw a grand destiny for himself and, unfortunately for the kits, that did not include children. Taking inspiration from one of his "visions" and his earlier abandonment of Petalfrost and Thistlespring, Shard spirited the kits away from Quill and down to OrchidClan. He stuck them in the nursery and skedaddled.

Quill was understandably angry about this and, despite still recovering from her illness, she dragged herself down to OrchidClan territory to save her kits. She was weak, though, and realized that she couldn't actually take care of kits in her current state and there was nothing to stop Shard from just getting rid of them again. So she just left, leaving the soon to be named Minkkit and Badgerkit to be discovered in the morning.

They were found and subsequently adopted by Moonmist. It's kind of her thing. They were given the names Minkkit and Badgerkit and, while no one understood where they had come from, it wasn't like this was the first time random kits had shown up in the middle of the night in OrchidClan. Petalfrost had arrived in the Clan the exact same way.

Despite the plague, Minkkit and Badgerkit just kind of chilled for a while. A new kit, Aloe, joined the Clan along with her brothers Ternpaw and Petrelpaw when Minkkit was three moons old. Aloe was very quiet and mostly kept to herself, rarely even being in the nursery due to a major injury. Still, Minkkit tried to be welcoming when she was around.

When she was four moons old, Sprucestripe and Petalfrost brought some snowdrops by the nursery as a gift for Moonmist and the kits. Minkkit enjoyed the flowers, correcting Badgerkit's pronunciation of the word and taking some of the white blossoms in to Moonmist. Afterward, Sprucestripe and Petalfrost started talking about siblings, the irony here being that Minkkit and Petalfrost were in fact half-siblings.
