Firshadow

Firshadow is a slender, long-legged, dusty-brown ticked tabby with deep green eyes.

## Personality

Firshadow is a rather calm and level headed cat who takes time to observe before taking action. They aren't the type to get annoyed with others when they mess up their pronouns but Firshadow is quick to dish out a gentle reminder. They understand it can be hard for some cats especially with their slender and obviously feminine body shape. They get very bothered at times and on occasion try to do things that make them appear more masculine. They try not to get annoyed with cats who struggle with pronouns however they will react to blatant actions of ignoring their pronouns rather strictly. They will not hesitate to claw any cats who try to bully them or are just plain cruel. While open and friendly to those they meet they will be quick to close off to cats who recoil or flinch away from them because of their difference. They struggle constantly with their issues with their feminine body and being called pretty, beautiful, etc can set them off. They don't shun curiosity but sometimes find it hard to explain to others exactly how they are feeling. Comments based on their physical appearance are very touch and go sometimes it makes them feel good other times it can make them upset. They are quite intelligent and it shows with their exceptional memory and great problem solving ability. They care deeply for the cats they grow close to but find it hard for their heart to commit to one cat. This making them initially hesitant to start romantic relationships with cats they are interested in. If a cat makes a romantic advance on them it's usually followed by their internal panic as they won't know how to handle that. Firshadow can be prone to spirals and mini bouts of internal panics especially when cats point out their femininity or mess up their pronouns on a day where they are feeling particularly bad about their appearance. They are very careful about not misgendering those around them due to their own struggle and has the tendency to call everyone by they/them. They are very clever and enjoy things that challenge their mind be it solving hard problems or answering difficult questions. They love being out on the territory always happy to go out and train or drag their friends out on a walk. They are very loyal to their friends which means they are very prone to making friends with little care for where they come from. They are a little hesitant about the aspect of having a family some day as they don't know how good of a parent they will be do to their struggles with their appearance. However they would do anything for the cat they love even if that meant raising a family with that cat though they'd very much make their anxieties about parenthood known. They are otherwise very nervous when it comes to romance and will always struggle with the fear of disappointing the cat or cats they end up settling down with.
