Redwood

small silver spotted tabby tom with green eyes

Trillium is a small, silvery tabby with rosette spots dappled across his middle. Upon each limb those spots deform into misshapen strips and gradually fade into the pale coloring. Upon his soft features are twin pools of green that strike in contrast. They waver with emotion and strength as if reflecting the fierce personality underneath. As the moons passed over his kithood, soft fat turned into muscle and a stocky build. What he lacked in size, Trillium made up in bulk.

Hardworking/ Driven (+/-) Like his Aunt, he works hard and isn’t scared to get his paws dirty. In fact, he’s usually not happy unless he’s accomplished something that requires physical labor. The harder it is, the more fulfilling he feels afterwards even when he has to clean up. He never fails to put all his heart and skill into any given task.

Like with many traits, there’s a negative to it. When he dedicates himself to a task, he feels it’s his responsibility to see it through. For better or worse, he will drive himself into the ground to reach the end. With this short term perspective, he doesn’t realize the possible consequences to his own health and well being. If hunting in bare-leaf requires him to nearly freeze to death to find prey, he’ll do it.

Warm/ Bad Temper (+/-) Trilliumkit is a warm, friendly tom that carefully picks his words. Like his mother, he’s very aware of his social behavior and the effect it has on others. He tries to present himself with confidence and a flirty nature, drawing others into socialising with him. Especially those of a shy nature. There’s times he can be forward though he is aware of when to pull it back.

When upset, Trilliumkit’s temper comes out. His words become sharp and harmful, often using what knowledge he knows to hurt the most. Gradually it builds to the point he will physically lash out, usually forcing him to use inanimate objects or prey for the target. When this climax has happened, he forces himself to walk and calm down.

Loyalty/Need for Love or being Wanted (+/-) To the cats Trilliumkit has come to value, his loyalty shines through. He will give his strength and life for his family and friends no matter the danger. Often, those on this list will help push back his one true fear: being rejected and alone.

It’s irrational because of his upbringing, but it just means it hasn’t come to light for anyone. When faced with it, this fear surfaces in a desire to correct it or seek it from other sources. This causes ill judgement and impulsive behavior when he thinks he can fulfill his needs, often causing him to make choices out of character for him.

Trillium doesn't remember much in his young moons. Only the scent of milk, the warmth of his mother, and a loving tongue cleaning his fur dry. It was a simpler time then when his paws first started to bear the weight of exploration and play. Now he finds himself learning about his family and surroundings. He was born into a clan called Redwood alongside his sister, the wiggling mass called Blossomkit. Here he rarely knew sorrow or pain for his protective mother hovered near to prevent it. Throughout the tom's young moons, he will make enemies and friends, but always have the love and support of his family.

Unfortunately, war will eventually put these bonds to the test. Little does he know, he's not as pure as he was raised to believe and like with all secrets, nothing stays hidden forever.
