salem witch trials//ask for an invite//semi-literate

[indebted]

Haven't you ever thought of that sneaky neighbor? The young girl whose hair is so brightly colored it hurts your eyes? Long ago most agreed that the notion of witches was ridiculous, and that it had all been a fairy tale. But do you believe that? Twelve years after the Salem Witch Trials, you find yourself in trouble. They believe you are a witch, whether you are one or not. This is because of the three cats that reside in a cavern like cave called 'Whisper Cave'. Cats are still rendered as horrible creatures, and the fact that three of them are living in areas so close to human towns, any humans happening to be loved by the cats were dubbed as witches and thrown away to rot. So each year, when you turn twelve, you are taken to the Whispers Cave and shoved in there with the cats. If they love you, then you are dubbed a witch, and at the cruel age of twelve, put on trial for death. But some--only some, but still some--escape, and some are not witches but innocent children. Who are you?

Lily>>

Lily is the beautiful young kitten. She is sweet, scruffy, and overall a darling. Everyone loves her, but not every witch can be revealed by her. She takes a liking to most humans, and that is a horrible fate for the humans. So far her love of the humans has killed five, far more than the older kittens and cats have ever done. Perhaps when she is older she will understand, and perhaps she is simply a devilish spirit who likes to kill. No one knows. She is exactly five weeks old, still young and new to this world, but she loves it already. However, she is somewhat naive, and humans easily push her away from them. Most don’t want to.

This is Sunpatch, a beautiful she-cat with green eyes. She is cold, manipulating, and quite cruel. Most of her companions, as she refers to them in her own way, are just as she is, and the people who know them are glad to throw them to the dogs. She is a peculiar cat, elegant as a human, and is very arrogant in her own manner. She has only ever had two companions before, because she is rather picky about who she chooses and if you're ordinary, she won't choose you. She chooses the geniuses, the cynical, and the evil. Both of her previous companions so far were dark and cruel. The first was a thief, a cat burglar, by the name of Ann Rosa. She had been hiding and taking refuge in Whispers Cave, and was soon killed for both being a ‘witch’ and for stealing. Her second was a trained assassin, who killed thirty three easily in an hour. That companion disappeared into the Whispers Cave and was never found.

Meet quiet Whisper. She has never had a companion, knowing it would be cruel to the humans who she chose, and understands completely the threat of the angry humans. She often stays in her den, not coming out for days and weeks and months. She eats the least out of the three, as the most she will ever eat is a skinny little mouse. She will forever stay in her den unless a witch or a nice human coaxes her out, and face it--no one wants to be hanged, because the Salem Witch Trials will go on, and she does not want a share in the blood of the affair. She wants only peace for her sibling and kit, her kit being Lily and her sibling being Sunpatch. She is the oldest and most mature. Just before their parents died, she vowed to take care of her kin, but that time of protection is coming to an end. To stop the witches, the regular and angry humans are ready to torch Whispers Cave.

Kennedia Aylwin

Appearance
12 years old // female // witch

physical description:
Kennedia's eyes are her most striking feature. A cold, crystal-like blue, they give her a focused, plotting look. A spray of light freckles dot along the bridge of her nose and the tops of her cheeks. Her pale blonde hair is kept out of her face in a messy bun most days, while she just lets it fall natrually when she doesn't feel the need to impress.

personality:
Clever and detatched, Kennedia isn't seen as a very likeable girl. She isn't a people person and prefers to be alone. She has a fascination with herbs and their uses, along with birds. Wary and untrusting, she rarely makes friends with any of the children that make the effort of putting up with her to try to get on her good side. In a social situation, she tends to stay silent, watching the rest of the people around her and calculating what could happen before it does. Her mother died in childbirth delivering a younger sibling that she never had the chance to know, leaving her to live with her father, a distant man who's only ever known "man's work". Because of this, Kenn never began learning the skills expected of most young girls her age, such as cooking and sewing.

sexuality:
While Kennedia has never dated or even thought of such an act to be something she'd like to do, both girls and boys have caught her eye, though she would quickly deny the fact if confronted.

a brief history / reason some believe Kenn to be a witch:
After her mother's passing, a three year old Kennedia was left with only her father to show her right from wrong. She grew into a tomboy, often going off into the woods. She was a reckless child, often injuring herself in the process of going on her adventures. Her father never seemed to care, so she got into the habit of mixing herbs to cure herself. She showed a natrual ability for it, often being able to pick the right plant for an injury or illness out of a group without even having seen it before. Her ability with healing and innocent predictions, such as warning her father about a rain coming before the stormclouds had gathered in the sky, have gathered suspicion from folks living near her...

cat:
When she was put into the cave, Kennedia kept her nerves under control. She'd heard of some children who just dissolved into a mess of tears, and she didn't want anything like that hanging over her head and hurting her dignity. She found a spot on the hard, dusry floor and just sat there. After a while, the aura of her cold irritation drew out Sunpatch. The feline approached her and made her choice to stick with the girl despite her protests. Any gently shoving and deliberately quick motions that would scare off most cats didn't drive her away, and by the time it was time for Kenn to leave the cave, she had given in.
