Merrykit

A seal mackerel tabby mink bicolor she-kit with aqua eyes
[ Request Sdesc Update ]

For now Merrykit is a small bundle of fur, eyes tightly shut and ignorant of the world.

She will grow to be a somewhat sizable she-cat, taking a bit of her sire’s build comparted to the more sleek, short limbed frame of her dam. Larger in frame, her muscular physique nevertheless has a slight feminine touch, and will be a strong swimmer.

Her coat color and the length of her pelt is more similar to her dam’s, the length of her hair clings to her frame in a dense wall of dark fur. The darkest furred of her siblings, Merrykit is mainly a brown she-cat, which will mature into a rich, warm hue that darkens at the edges of her frame. A dark mackerel tabby pattern covers her body, which fades into ghost markings on her already dark extremities. The only splash of white on her body is a small cloud shaped mark on her belly as well as the very tip of her tail.

Her face is more round than angular, although her cheekbones give her the impression of a longer stare which frames a pair of large teal hued eyes (when they open and mature from the standard kitten blue). Her triangular ears sit wide atop her head, the edge of the tips slightly rounded and large to drink in all the sounds around her as her ears open up and she grows. As well as the very tip of her tail being white, her tail is shorter then average, thicker at its base.

Merrykit is a kit of few desires. She only knows the darkness of her world, although she seeks any warm bodies around her and especially likes burying herself in her mother’s chest when sleep comes for her. Very few things upset the tiny kit, and doesn’t mind being bustled around and frequently bustles others around for the warmest spots. Only when particularly hungry does she ever utter more than a chirp, and seems to be, in general, a very contented kit, of which she’s named after.

• Born in the Moon of Running Prey (2020)

Merrykit is the second born kit from Otterwhisker’s first and only litter out of Boldstar, leader of Riverclan. She, along with her siblings, were born on the 22nd day of Running Prey 2020 during the early morning hours, her mother’s labor bringing the first of them into the world at the crack of dawn. In the darkness of the nursery, Merrykit joined her siblings at her mother’s side, knowing little of the wide world around her save for the warmth and the milk it provides.
