Story:
KristalWings was the only kit that didn't seem to fit in. Since she was a kit, her parents knew that she would be different from the others. At first no one suspected anything about her. Then as she grew up into a tiny kitten, they realized she had great powers. Her creative mind was always churning and coming up with great ideas. But that's not why she was different. She had a great magic in her, that brought color, life, and happiness to others. Her tail could create beautiful and colorful murals with one flick, and her tiny wings were so bright, that even before they were full grown they attracted rainbows and color to them, making them be more colorful and beautiful.
At first others were thrilled that she had such great powers. But soon others became envious of her power and beauty and all the attention she got from the adult and higher class cats. KristalWings was every thing they wanted to be; smart, pretty, creative, and funny. They were tired of her constantly being happy and nice to others. They became bitter and jealous.
One day small group of kits were sitting together, and they got around to talking about KristalWings. They murmured about her and whispered secretly with each other. They wanted to find a way to take away KristalWings power, so she would stop getting all the attention and become like one of them. They came up with many solutions, but they settled on stating rumors about her to lower her self-esteem. Once the rumors started they spread like wild fire. Some said that she was "stealing power from the higher class adults" and that she "probably colors her wings to make them bright, they weren't real." These comments and many more did what the other kits hoped: they made her nervous and wary about what others thought of her.
"Are my wings really that bright?" she wondered. Becoming desperate, she decided to use black fur dye on her wings to dull them. The first time she tried dying them, it washed of easily afterwards. Becoming more confident, she dulled her little wings every day so kits wouldn't notice them. She also stopped using her "easy art" powers and reverted to doing it with her paws like other kits did. Eventually since she kept doing all this, the rumors died down.
This went on for years. When she finally grew up and her wings were fully grown, she was excited for "Departure Day", or the day that the Kits of a certain age, leave the earth floor and join the other adult cats in the sky. The hours before the they were suppose to meet, KristalWings scrubbed and scrubbed her wings, trying to get the dye off. She then realized in horror that her wings were permanently stained a dull color. She wept sadly at the thought of never seeing her beautiful and colorful wings again. Her powers were also lost from years of disuse, and she had forgotten how to use them and control them. She sighed ad sat down sadly, tears running down her cheeks. She glanced into the water and smiled at her reflection. Even though she may not be beautiful on the outside, she realized that she was wonderful, colorful, and beautiful on the inside. She could still make people happy by just being herself and smiling at them, keeping them company. She smiled and stood, and said to herself "I am KristalWings of the Flying Star Kitty tribe! No one can force me to be something I don't want to be! I am beautiful on the inside and that is all that matters!"
