Demiboy, Ivory is trans-male, and Swankit is Non-binary, using xe/xem pronouns
personalities:Ebonyskip is a rather quiet cat. They aren't shy per-say, but they prefer to listen than to fill the air with unneeded noise. The only times Ebonyskip breaks out of their quiet shell, is if Ivorygale or Swankit is threatened. But even then they don't turn into a crazy psychotic angry cat, they mainly just growl a bit more and attempt to kill whoever is hurting their family. (

Ivorygale is an extremely cheerful cat. He enjoys making other cats laugh, even if it is just a pity laugh. He usually spends time with kits and young apprentices, because they've got the most humor left in them. A warrior who has seen battles and faced death isn't as likely to laugh when a joke is made, but a young kitten or apprentice, who still has stars in their eyes and smiles on their faces? They love to laugh, and Ivory loves making them laugh. It's a win-win scenario. (

Swankit is five moons old, but has already seen a lot of the world. Child of a serious cat and a jokester, xis parents weren't really sure what to expect of Swankit as xey grew up, so they didn't expect anything of xem. Swankit has turned out to be a sort of blend of xis parents. Mostly serious like Ebonyskip, Swankit has a knack for jokes like Ivorygale, but isn't joking all of the time. Just when a situation either really needs it, or is really funny. (

brief histories: Ebonyskip and Ivorygale grew up together. Though they were from different litters, the two spent so much time together, that after their Gender Mission, Ivory asked if his name could be changed to match Ebony's. (His original name was Poppy, but we'll get to more on that in a moment)
When Ebony and Ivory were four moons old, as is custom in the alley-cat group they grew up with, they were sent into a warehouse to have their Gender Mission. Even though its not a real mission, it's called that mostly because it sounds cooler than Gender Talk.
Basically, they go into a warehouse, along with all the other kits of their age from the entire city, and a bunch of cats tell them about the genders they use. The city gathers at least one cat of every gender they can find, and the kits spend three days there, learning about genders and [redacted bcause this is cs] such as Agender, Demisexual, Transgender, and Bisexual, and so on.
When the kittens leave, they don't have to make their choices right away, but they are then allowed to start changing their gender if they so choose. Ebony identified himself as Demimale, and Poppy asked to be called Ivory, and male.
When Ebony and Ivory entered the age of adulthood, they became mates, and a few weeks later Ivory was pregnant with Swankit. (

Swankit was born in the same alleyway as xer fathers, and went through the same Gender Mission. At first when xe came out, xe stayed xer birth gender (male). Shortly before Ebony and Ivory started looking for a clan to join, Swankit asked if xe could be called by Xe/Xem terms (to which, of course, xer fathers and the alleycats agreed) (
