Pet's ID Tag:
105
Name You'd Choose for It:
Saryu
Gender:
Female
Reason You Want It:
She is beautiful. The colors and the wreaths combine perfectly, I love it! If my form is accepted and I get to adopt her, I would love to role-play her often. I will do art of her or color line arts of her as much as possible, even though sometimes during school weeks I cannot, I will do my best to do so over the weekends or breaks. I do, however, go on vacation once a year for a week, and during that time I would not be able to draw art of her. I believe this character would be very special to me, as all my characters are. I would take good care of her in my best efforts. She is a very lovely-looking character, and the glow on her adds to my want to get her.
As for another topic of wanting her, the personality would be lovely to shape out. She seems like she could make a very lively character that might brighten me up on the days that I am down, or sad over something. To the enhancement, I will keep all parts of the design, even the old name written in blue on her back possibly, because that won't be too much a bother for me.
It would be an honor to receive such a character, and I barely caught any sleep last night thinking up what I would write for her as her history, background, and personality. I am going to be putting all efforts I have left in this form, and hopefully it may be enough for me to win her.
History/Background/Other:
History:
Each leaf in my wreaths holds a story of my past. Some are filled with a story in each milestone I've passed, and some have yet to be written. Let it be known I know my past has not been as bad as others, I realize others have had it worse. I resent to be a pet of humans, I have revolted for freedom on my own instead, but my story is here...
Rather than Spring, I was a December birthday. It was only seven days into winter, but there was deep snow covering the ground, and a blizzard was beginning the rage. My mother abandoned me for my diverse appearance, for I had glowing blue patterns upon my snowy-white fur. I was not abandoned right after I was born, for my eyes and ears were open to the world and my markings had just recently developed to full sheen. I had found two wreaths of leaves that I wore on my head and tail for a strange fondness my litter-mates found absolutely disgusting.
I was not allowed to play games with my brother and sister, due to my drastically diverse personality to them. I did not like play-fighting, and I enjoyed watching nature do its rounds about my environment. I was extremely friendly to strangers, greeting them with a playful, squeaky voice, whereas my brother and sister pressed against mother. My mother, too, was in utter disgust toward me, hence why I was abandoned, in general.
When I was abandoned, I stared up at my mother questioningly as she dropped me in the snow, her gaze dark. She had not brought her other kits with her, for my litter-mates had died shortly beforehand due to the cold, coughing and wheezing themselves to death, which mother still grieved over. The blizzard was closing in, and now she not only wanted to do so for such a disgrace to her, but had to, for such reasons I did not understand at the time.
I had called for her as she turned and began to lope away. I had struggled after her through the snow at the fastest pace I could push myself to. It was no use, though, and eventually she was gone in the thick snowy fog. I trudged after her paw-steps, growing tired. How would I fend for myself on my own? There were such predators out here, hungry for such a satisfying meal of a kitten in the dead of winter. I had nothing left but to hope for a miracle, curling up in one of mother's large paw-steps that had penetrated through the snow.
The months quickly changed, and before I realized it, it became March and it turned into Spring-time. By now, I had grown quite a bit, and I was a lean cat for my stature. I struggled to grasp capabilities on what to eat, and though now I needed meat, I did not know how to get it. I did not want to kill a living thing for a meal, not even a berry, but during the last of December when I had still depended off of a cat's milk, I learned to live off of water and berries or roots. Now, I needed something more satisfying to my hunger, and meat was my only option.
Eventually, like all feral cats have, I grasped a technique to hunt. I caught mostly small birds or rodents, like rabbits or starlings. I thrived on life for a while, but it was short-lived. That's when man came.
I was caught by a pound agency for animals such as feral cats and dogs. There was millions of cages on end, each with a miserable-looking animal. As soon as they pushed me into the cage and slammed the door shut with a chink of the lock, I grew nervous, all eyes were staring at me, either compassionate or curious. I could have guessed it was my wreaths, and my glowing blue patterns and eyes.
I didn't say a word at that time, I was too nervous. Despite the stares or glares I was given for my appearance, I waited my stay in the pound patiently, though I was not happy. I was miserable, like all the rest. The cage walls were cold, and the metal bowls even more so. My eyes became crusted with gunk, and my mouth was desperately dry, and I began resorting to licking my own sweat. They never gave us enough food or water, and I was growing thin.
I was adopted at least five days after my arrival by an odd woman. She had black hair, and she looked kind in the face, but I wasn't sure if it was in her heart. She paid for me and took me to her home. She talked softly of words I did not understand, and I put no effort into trying to do so. I was too tired, thirsty, and hungry. My stomach rumbled softly, but as soon as we got to this new home I curled up on the floor to sleep.
The days that followed, however many, I spent eating the horrible, dry food pellets and drinking the tap water put in my bowls. I despised to soft bed she gave me and instead slept upon the floor. It was boring here, there was never anything to do. I would mope around by the door, or sit and stare out the window, longing to be outside again. That's where I belonged, not here. I sometimes pressed my face against the glass of the window, suppressing a heavy sigh. I was becoming more and more distressed by such an environment I was in, there was no other lively nature, no outdoor smells or cool breezes. There was nothing here for me. Just...nothing.
The woman who owned the house must have noticed, because one Spring night I was staring out the window as the Sun began to set, and darkness began shielding the land. I watched dully as she walked to the door and opened it. "Kitty, here kitty," she said, and I jumped off the sill. There was no will left in me from the distressing days here, so I gave in. She stroked my back, and then picked me up, placing me outside. "Have some fresh air," she said, then shut the door. I was surprised out of my skin. A cool breeze brushed my spine and my blue eyes scanned the area. No confinements. Freedom.
I took the advantage and left, but I was not grateful for these humans. They took me away from what I had then called my home: the outdoors. Free again, I had to find a place to reside.
Since then I have resided in a cave behind a waterfall, watching nature during the day. During the night, I tend to bask outside under the moon, allowing my blue markings and eyes to glow through the night. I am once again the lean form I used to be, but I gained a bit more than I did then, and more muscle formed.
Now I'm staring into the pool below the waterfall, gazing at my reflection, when I realized something. I was not who I was then. I had changed so vastly from one that was skittish to take from nature, but now I am one who takes without fear and gives back to the world in open paws and warmth in my eyes. I am still diversely different from the others I meet at times, but I no longer mind. I have figured out one thing in my life, and that is we all change to make ourselves best adaptable toward nature. If we are kind to it, we are rewarded in time.
Personality:
Saryu is a love-able and affectionate cat if you get to know her. She is extremely outgoing to strangers, but she usually keeps her past to herself. She is kind to all she meets if they are not a threat to her, and she would do anything to protect the ones she loves. She is particularly a night owl, sleeping during the time dawn begins to come until light filters into the cave, brightening it up. She loves nature, and tends to it with care, taking only what she needs and giving back with her kind deeds.
A typical perfectionist, though not in all cases does she want it to be perfect. She will not try to change a being for who they are, because by perfectionist I mean she likes to make sure she is clean sometimes. In some cases, she does not care if she is clean or not if there is an urgent matter when she must help her friends or she is trying to escape something or someone.
She is one who looks to the light of the future rather than the dark of the past, and this stands to be her reason why she does not always talk about her past. She does not mind she is different than others, with both personality and appearance, because in her opinion it does not matter that she is different, but how she is alike to others.
Likes:
Night:
When the moon shines, her blue markings and her eyes glow, and she likes to bask beneath it because the breeze is cool during that time period usually.
Nature:
Nature is kind to Saryu, in her opinion, and she does her best to be kind to it for the life it offers to her so she may thrive.
Her Wreaths:
As explained in the beginning of her history, they each hold a story of her past and some have yet to be written. She cherishes them with all her heart. It is one of her symbols of gratitude to nature, too.
Thunderstorms:
They give her a sense of safety, and she enjoy the feel of the rain on her pelt. Often in a thunderstorm, she will stand there until drenched thoroughly by the rain, but she is also careful of lightning, so she only ventures into thunderstorms when lightning does not strike.
Snow:
Despite her past, snow is one of her favorite things. She is able to blend in with it often during the day-time and night-time even because her blue markings are so light, even though it makes her like a lighthouse at night. She is now able to tread through it with ease, and her fur is fit to take the cold.
Her Markings:
At night-time, these light up so bright that miles away she still seems like a beacon of a light-house. She loves them because it makes her unique. She likes to keep them especially clean so they can be bright. At times when she cannot clean them, they can be dimmed until you can barely see them, but never fully. Usually, her eyes can still be seen to glow anyway, unless she is buried in something like, say, dirt.
Winter:
Saryu adores winter to such an extent because not only does it usually begin in her birth month, but it brings snow and cool breezes. If it is extremely cold, her fur will keep her warm, and she is still able to enjoy it.
Cool Breezes:
In the hot Summer, it is enjoyable to take a dip in the pool of water beneath the waterfall, but it cools her off more with a cool breeze if it happens to swirl by for a visit.
Traveling:
Unlike the end of the history, she tends to travel often to different places. Wherever she wanders, she tries to find a waterfall with a cave behind it, in which is a fond specific location of hers, to rest for the night.
Dislikes:
Lightning:
Though she may love the light it creates through thunderstorms, Saryu likes to play in thunderstorms. So it is unwelcoming when lightning is making its rounds through it, and she has not tendency in her to get struck by it.
Mud:
Two close relatives, one just the alternative of dirt that is wet, Saryu has tripped and fell into mud puddles on various occasions. The taste of mud if it happens to get into her mouth, is horribly disgusting to her. She tries to stay away from mud, but sometimes it is utterly impossible.
Heat:
Since her fur is fit to endure winter more than it is to endure heat and the Summer, it is pure torture to be so warm. She tends to stay by water during that time to swim in it when it becomes unbearably warm.
I understand that by adopting this creature I take full responsibility for it.
Truthfully, yes, I do.
Other than that, thank you for allowing me to apply.
