Murkkit

A long-bodied, blue smoke mink tom kit with dark blue eyes
[ Request Sdesc Update ]

While his kit like body doesn’t give much indication to the angular creature he will become, Murkkit is a long kit. His mid-length mostly soft kitten down is of a two-toned silvery blue, with pointed darker areas that make his ears and face a frame, with hooded shaped eyes, against his newly changed cornflower blue eye color, seemingly gifting the kit with an intense sort of stare. The stubby length of his extremities are also this dark, stormy blue against his lighter body, his large paws giving some hint to how large he’ll be in his adult years. The darkest parts of his body, however, are his paw pads and his nose, which near to a shade of black.

Murkkit, in regards to his mysterious origin, is an observant, precocious kit. He prefers to stay in the background until he sees something he wants, and tends to show a more solitary nature, never wanting to be pitied or seen as a burden. While he is a cat of few words, he’s not afraid to voice his desires, or question why things are – and generally believes in seeking forgiveness rather than asking permission. If some cat gives him an inch, he’ll always try to take a mile.

• Born in the Moon of Running Prey (2020)

Murkkit was born alongside three other siblings in an overgrowth thicket outside of clan territory to a passing Turkish Angora she-cat named Belladonna. He knew little of the outside world and mostly kept to that thicket until a pressing need caused their mother to move them as she saw fit. Every once and awhile another visited her, and while he didn’t really understand who that cat might be, he was one of two significant bodies in his life.

He doesn’t remember much about his sire, but he does recall the scent of pleasant smelling plants when he was around. Raised underneath Belladonna’s watchful paws and entertained by the stories of her youth, as soon as he was able to walk he found he couldn’t stop moving, wanting nothing more to explore the wide world around him. One occasion brought him under the scrutiny of a tawny owl when he pulled out in front of his siblings while playing. He would have ended up in that owls claws if not for his mother, who batted the owl away just in time.

The contentedness he shared with such freedoms was brought to a close on the 14th of Lion’s Glory 2020, when while crossing the thunderpath, a monster roared towards them from around a corner and struck his mother, killing her in an instant. Rain began to fall, covering the scent of the incident, where shortly after picked up by the scruff of his neck. Along with his siblings, they were delivered in the twilight hours, a storm raging on the horizon, to a sheltering thicket within Fourtrees to be awaited by the clans who were fated to adopt them.
