PERSONALITY
Skunk is a quick-witted tom, his intuition unmatched by many cats he interacts with. His cunning nature makes it challenging to interact with others, which leaves him often quiet around strangers. Skunk forces himself to push past his smarts and avoids clan cats to not get in a scrabble. The tom struggles under pressure and is self-aware enough to hate the way he handles situations where he is needed. Skunk stays far away from socialization, which makes other cats dislike him. He’s very thoughtful, however, his high level of empathy is a blessing and curse. Sure he can understand cats well, but it comes at the cost of making relationships. This can put him in a bad situation where he only surrounds himself with people who either want to take advantage of him or people who are pitying him. Not only that, but his modesty is a problem as well. He forces himself to be as humble as possible, which ends in believing he is not worth anyone's time. Like his mother, Skunk is envious of other cats, often jealous of those who are perceived as normal. His struggle to make friends makes him often angry he can’t act like more popular cats. This causes anxiety to ensue, moving his anger into fear of never being happy or able to communicate. Skunk also seems to shake often due to his major anxiety and has trouble keeping his paws still. This makes him less approachable and he struggles to hunt animals due to his tail and body shaking. To make up for it, he is quite good with herbs and seems to understand how to heal himself.

CHARACTER BIOGRAPHY

Kittenhood:

Skunk was born as a loner, named by his mother, Sootnose. His family was quite odd, as Sootnose, his mother was a clan cat, meanwhile, Badger his father, was a loner like him. From what Skunk remembers, his mom had an ashy pelt, yellow eyes striking into his gut. His father on the other hand was a Siamese short-hair, resembling him in many ways, including his blue eyes. Skunk was also not the only cat in his litter, as he had a sister. Charkit was quite a rambunctious kit compared to her brother, and the two were inseparable. Wherever Charkit went, Skunk followed. Her black fur was quite easy to spot in the fields they would run-in with their father. Unknown to Skunk, his mother was a part of EagleClan. The more often she left Skunk and Charkit, the more the two seemed to forget about her. In three moons, the tom and his family lived in harmony, Sootnose visiting more and more often. Life seemed like paradise. Until it wasn’t.

The air was musky, Skunk and Charkit playing in their makeshift nest as Badger watched the two. It wasn’t to last, as loud paw steps came bursting into the nest the three cats called home. A tall tom, bigger than Skunk had ever seen before, towered over Badger, snarling. An argument broke out, and from what Skunk can recall there was something about his mother and he and his sister involved. He shivered at the glare the cat gave him, his deep gold eyes ripping into his pelt. He couldn’t help but sense panic in the old cat. Maybe even horror… Fortunately, a sound called out. A familiar one. His mother had come to save them! Skunk felt a sort of hope strike him as the bad cat left the nest, and he and his sister stayed close together that cold night.

A sudden shake awoke the two kits, Badger was in a panic. Something was wrong, and it would not be avoided. “Follow me, stay quiet. Let’s play hide and seek, okay? Someone is going to count and then we will have time to hide. Quick, we must get a head start!” Charkit and Skunk followed blindly as soft rapid breaths escaped their father, a truly horrifying sight. As the two of them ran, a loud screech sounded from behind the kits. Thus Charkit was gone. Skunk could barely see what happened, but he saw enough, watching his sister pass away in front of his very eyes. Badger leaped into action, clawing left and right before his body fell limp. Skunk knew he was next, hiding by his father. It was too late for him. And yet the tom did not hit him nor claw him. “I wish to keep you alive, as punishment to your mother. Her eyes will never glance at the innocent kit she once saw. And though you will still be breathing, she will not have the strength to view what was left of her pathetic mate's offspring.” The tom was calm, but his voice instilled the fear Skunk needed for trauma to come. A loud slash hit Skunk, his pelt mattered as he gained his first scar from a creature vile and cruel. “Run.” He whispered.

Loner:

Skunk had run away from everything. Moons passed, and the tom was stuck. Stuck in a horrible cycle that could only be fueled by the horror of being hurt once more. Not only that but the tom had repressed his memories. Growing into a young tom had forced him to keep the emotions wound up tight and hidden, and he wasn’t about to revisit the thought of his family. No, he had forgotten his mother. And truly it was hard to remember even if he tried. The only thing that was still there… It was the deep gold eyes. As a way of distraction, Skunk found himself moving from place to place, never satisfied with one spot. His urge to find somewhere to come home to was strong, but will it be quenched?

RELATIONSHIPS

Sootnose — Although Skunk does not remember his mother, the two had a nice relationship before the Nightwhisper incident — roleplayed by gemini

Badger — Skunk was quite the daddy's boy and loved his father very much. Badger was his caretaker and father and Skunk looks back on him fondly, or as much as he can with the memories that have faded — NPC

Charkit — Skunk and Charkit were close siblings, and although they got into little spats it never affected their relationship. Skunk often allowed Charkit to take the lead, and her brash personality would often put Skunk in the position of an older brother even though they were the same age — NPC

Nightwhisper — Skunk never got to know his grandfather, and thankfully so. The cat murdered his father and sister, and to this day Skunk is terrified of Nightwhisper and still has nightmares - NPC
