Description

• NAME: River
• NAME MEANING: River received his name by his father, Talon (formally known as Claw). His family has a long history of being named after nature. River was chosen out of his litter to be free-hearted, strong, and bold at birth. With this and his appearance, he would have to earn his battle name after he had been accepted into the city life by the other local cats.
• PREVIOUS NAME(S): None
• AGE: 4 moons
• GENDER: Tom
• BREED: Shorthair tabby, Russian blue
• CLAN: Clan of one (None)
• RANK: Technically kit ***STRAY KIT***
• FAMILY: Talon- father, a large dark gray tabby with blue eyes, he was clawed across the face by a crow in a battle. Spots – mother, light darkblue tabby with bright green eyes. Littermates – Star(M), Rose(F), Juniper (M)
• PERSONALITY: Curious as any newly born kit, this tom is known for being quick to disappear from sight, wandering from place to place, but has a strong sense of loyalty, he is fast to defend his family even with the odds of victory. He doesn’t speak more, lives his life in quiet, but is quick to listen and follow instruction. He can be easily spooked and on occasion, a bit paranoid, but curiosity will always bring him back for a closer look. You will never see this cat picking a fight, but when battle calls, he will be the first to take down the enemy.
• HISTORY: At birth, River was the smallest and last to be born of his littermates. While he fought for his place beside his siblings he was normally neglected due to size. He learned even before opening his eyes that he would have to fight to have what he wanted, which played part in his naming. He knew his father instantly, knowing in his heart he would do anything to please him. had known within days which one of his parent’s favoured who. After a few days, when the rest of his littermates had already opened their eyes and were urging him to do the same, River had overheard his father speaking of how he believe the small kit was a dud, that since he was undersized his ears hadn’t formed right leaving him deaf. The disappointment triggered River’s eyes to open in that moment and stare up at his father, holding the strong gaze his father had. It was then, when the colours of his eyes were revealed, that, by both parents, the kit was disowned. He was born with two different coloured eyes, making him a true dud. His parents took to ignoring him until the day he was weaned, where the only companions he had were his littermates, Rose, who was too young to understand what was wrong with him. But, as time went on, she also would learn to see his flaws. After three moons River took off in the city alone, using strategy and speed to find food and shelter. His tactics kept him in a strong and stable body, him unknowingly training himself to fear fewer things and take more risks, and it showed in his ability to overcome hurdles in his life both mentally and physically. Sometime later, he finds himself at the edge of the city, real land and nature staring him in the face. He wasn’t sure if his tactics that had kept him alive this long could keep him even longer out there, but he took the risk anyway and stepped paw out.
• EXTRAS: River likes to sit in the rain in a high tree, or on a roof top, where he can watch his surroundings and feel the pitter-patter of the rain; however, this is only when he isn’t trying to sleep. He, before living home, was “collared” by his house-folk, where they attached a harness around him and would take him out on walks. This is where he learned the ways of the city before he left home. It never comes off, and he isn't sure how to take it off. He loves being alone at night, it is where he thinks best. This cat has a dark secret he shares with no other.
