Yeah, I'd be good with that. ^^ Then we can roleplay more first impressions. Also loving how Misty is turning out. <3 Thanks! I just finished and posted her personality. c:
And with that, barring possible minor revisions, her profile is done! Zoey is on her way. (:

Oof, I'm having a very hard time thinking of names for these guys. Anyone have any possible suggestions? I'm going for slightly intricate names. I have The Keeper. But for the Shoreline spirit is where I'm having trouble!

Alright. I have 4 vague ideas for characters now. I haven’t done the rogue yet, but I will. ^^
I have a kit. ^^ 4 moons old. Dark grey tom with some white markings. Not much plans personality-wise yet. Wondering if I might develop it as I go.
Then Kittypet 1 - the peacemaker. Tom. All too trusting. The type to risk his life for a stranger and to try and bring cats together when times are tough. He’s an idealistic sort.
Then kittypet 2 - the lazy and proud. Tom. Selfish. Likes to look good. Makes excuses to get out of looking bad or doing anything that he really has to work for. And if he has to do something he’s not good at, he’d rather do it when no one is looking.
And a troublemaker spirit. :3 Haven’t developed her yet. She-cat I think.
And the fifth is the rogue. Haven’t planned anything for them yet. ^^ She-cat maybe.
Debating whether I’ll do Kittypet 1 + 2 or just one of them. We’ll see. ^^

But for the Shoreline spirit is where I'm having trouble! That will depend on if you're going for a more kittypet (human) sounding name or a rogue/loner name. I could help!

You said her mother said she belonged with the water or something like that, right? What if her name was water in another language? Or ocean or storm in another language?

I'm going for a more human-esq name for her! I'm sort of thinking with some sort of meaning behind it? I have a few I've found, but I don't know if any really fit that well. I have Hoku, Castor, and Asherah. But my brain isn't clicking with them xD

If you're open to a musical-sounding name, there are several good examples, including Serenade, Melody, Symphony, so forth. I love Light's idea as well. ^-^

Oh! That is a good one, sort of siren-esq? Both yours and Light's are great ideas- I'll probably look into them both!

You could go with either of these, for instance, and I can go with the opposite or match.

There used to be a time when I would look up random character-related words in google translate, switching it to different languages and looking for what sounds the coolest. XD Then it was as if the name carried a secret message that someone who knows the language might know.

I think I'll definitely for for a name based from a different language. Probably something ocean-siren esq if possible!

I was actually kind of wondering the same thing! XD Hm. I might start with a mix. Sometimes he will be needy, and sometimes he will be brave. But the bravado easily fails when he is on his own. He can only be brave when someone else he knows is there. If whomever he is with is being brave, his confidence boosts dramatically. (Too much perhaps). Despite his bravado however, he really is easily frightened. The bravado is just a cover. He is this way because he senses his mother’s uncertainty and nervousness. He feels he must be strong even when he is painfully aware of his shortcomings. Because then his mother would be at ease, right? (But he still wanders off, fooling around with his brother, causing his mother to worry. XD) But he loves his mum and brother very much. I wouldn’t be surprised if he and Pepper would playfully get in competition for her attention. But he might be the type to play it tough and allow Pepper more personal time with mum if he so needs it.

Aww, they sound so sweet honestly! I love the dynamic the two share. I see Pepper as being the more outwardly adventurous out of the two, but unlike his sibling, he doesn't cover this with as much of a facade. He's cautious of every pawstep forward, and it shows, but to him the thought of never pushing one's boundaries makes him all the more uncomfortable. Both toms are quite attached to their mom, Pepper perhaps more so, and he will regularly seek time out of his day to bond with her (cuddles and milk and all), even as he gets older. When confronted with strangers, he's like the young cat that will run up with a bushy tail, but inside he's shaking his little paws off.
Also, Pepper will be a very light gray (almost white) tom with plenty of black speckles along his paws and feet, where they become much more condensed until you get to his shoulders, all of which are almost totally black and dark gray. I'll do a Picrew of him soon, and I'll see what I can come up with.

Zoey's profile is now 99% complete, barring some minor edits that may come down the line. I may get around to Swindle's today, but I'll definitely be making Pepper's Picrew. Also my own cat is driving me nuts, she just came into my room and ten seconds later she's whining to go back out.

Aw. I love it. And the colouring sounds cool. ^^ Two adventurous toms, outwardly brave but terrified in the face of danger. Loving of their mother, they will both likely seek her attention a lot in the beginning. My kit may leave them be sometimes, trying to prove himself to be strong. He’d rationalize that Pepper needed it. Despite his rationalization, he may feel somewhat jealous sometimes at all the time Pepper spends with momma. Or he might feel a tad lonely. But then he’d either cave and join them needily, or just shove it down and stay strong. As he grows older, he’ll grow into his bravado and will leave them be more easily. He’ll be able to be brave on his own when he’s older. But deep inside, that frightened and sensitive soul may still linger.
(What if he became Salt? Pepper and Salt. XD Maybe he has white spackling. Or I can come up with something more unique/creative.)
Mkay. Heading to bed now. ^^

Totally up to you though, I'm sure you'll settle on a fond name for him!

As it turned out, a spring toy was in her food bowl, so she was crying out of hunger. Silly thing, she's been like this since day 1. If something gets in her food bowl, she'll come crying to someone else about it until they remove it.

God, cat's are so delightful xD For my more needy kitty we have, named Mow mow, or Mowser. She's the one you can hear meowing a mile away cause she wants to get some pets! Our other kitty is the opposite, meowing to get away from you, haha.
And oddly enough, Misty sounds like she could.. perhaps get along with some spirits? (AKA me cooking up another character)

Totally. xD When she was younger, she was incredibly picky with her wet food. If it wasn't to her exact specifications (like if it was too wet, too dry, or too cold), she would stuff one of her sleeping blankets on top of it and would leave it alone. That was her way of telling you that it wasn't good enough, try better next time. Haha that's amazing. We have an elderly Manx she-cat, Tika, and she's meows constantly if she wants literally anything. She's just the cranky elder who wants to be treated like royalty. Oooo that could be good! Perhaps she'll serve as a "middle man" between the spirits and the living ones, the bridge to form a connection, if you will? That is, when she starts believing in them. For now, she considers them to be silly nursery tales and nothing more. It'll be VERY hard to convince her otherwise haha. Also I'm developing Pepper's picrew right now. It's not quite how I envisioned it (limited options with spots and shoulders), so I've had to reinvent his look a little. He's a medium gray tom with larger black spots.

Here's a little teaser for Paleface on a good day. Summary: Paleface is a small, short-eared creamy ginger she-cat with a pale white face and green eyes. As a kit she was ruthlessly bullied by her littermates and even surrounding cats (some of them adults!) for her appearance. Even her own mother basically disowned her, calling her "ugly" behind her back. This all largely resulted in her turning into the bitter and snappy crab apple she is today. She's no-nonsense and will not tolerate mistakes, nor the presence of (not to mention the mere existence of) kits, although she does take a little bit of pleasure in insulting them.
(Fun fact: For a short while, she experimented with the name "Cream", but she felt it didn't suit her, so she stuck to the "despicable" name her mother gave her.)

Cat's are just.. so entertaining. I love how we love them, and that's taken by them as some sort of worship xD Of course, anything for you my liege!
And that sounds good! Going from thinking something is silly, to fully believing in something, is a trope I always adore! Mostly because it's plain entertaining, lol.
And love Paleface as always! She's gonna be a fun cat to interact with. Maybe her and the father daughter pair of mine would get along with her? Somewhat anyway, lol.
Annnd I'm off to bed! goodnighteo friendo!

Yeah lol Like it's going to be funny seeing her see a ghost with her own eyes, and she's like, "Nah, that ain't real." Well they'll get along with her the best she'll allow it. She'll tolerate them at best. If someone is no-nonsense like her with a very strict work ethic, she'll certainly respect them. Otherwise, she just plain hates everyone haha. The expression on her face seldom changes - it starts at grumpy / mildly annoyed and gets worse from there. Her eyes never change either, unless she's really, really, REALLY irritated with someone, in which case her pupils shrink and her eyes turn blood-red. I don't normally do that for characters since it's totally unrealistic, but come on, it'll be funny if and when it happens.
Like so. XD Goodnight!
