username : Dinolil1
name : Eros
name meaning : 'love' in greek
gender : male
collar : A plain black collar, brand new and still shiny.
favorite place to be and why : He loves warmth and consequently loves to be near radiators; sleeping near or on top of them, as happy as larry. Eros believes it reminds him of his mother and her comforting fur that he so did love to snuggle into. Being the nervous and anxious tom he is, this tabby almost requires the gentle hum of a radiator to lull him to sleep or bring him out of his downward spiral of anxiety. Although he prefers radiators, simply because they're safer, he doesn't object to sleeping near a fireplace or just beside a stove that's in use; the smell of food or burning cinders doing just as well as the radiator's hum to calm down his beating heart.
his relationship with his family : Eros adores his family; although he does prefer some of his relatives over the others. He admires his adoptive mother,
Jade, the most as he loves her determined and headstrong nature; a nature that Eros sorely lacks. However he loves
Amber, her sweet and gentle nature carefully nurturing his anxieties and washing them clean away with her care. Of his siblings, Eros fancies that he's most intimidated by
Aphrodite; often baffled by her flirtatious streak and capability to sweep any tom off their paws. But he cares about her, hoping that one day the right cat falls in love with her, while for now Eros wonders if Aphrodite is living her life right; forever chasing love. His sister
Parvati is on that Eros looks up to and wants to one day bond with, for he sometimes misses out sorely on getting to know his siblings while sleeping all day ontop of his beloved radiators. He wants to befriend Parvati; for her straightfordwardness, while it scares him sometimes, is something he sorely craves. Of his siblings, Eros most likes
Hera. Hera, because he adores soppy romances like her and enjoys reading/watching them with her. As for his sister,
Frigga, Eros doesn't really know her too well; he mostly assumes that she's a very nice sibling. Eros also likes
Juno, because he's the only other tom in the litter, and toms have to stick together! Nevertheless, confident or sweet, Eros loves his family more than anything because they're the ones that will always watch out for him! He hopes so at least, for he in return will always love them no matter their gender, age, sexuality or choices; his love for family is boundless like the sky.
extra 1 : Unlike his confident and charming namesake, Eros is awkward and shy. He suffers from social anxiety and prefers to have a small group of friends huddling around him than hoards of admirers. Although his voice may waver and stutter, Eros is extremely imaginative and loves to tell stories to his two mothers! While not a fan of reading, he's a studious young tom and very inquisitive about the world around him; for although the world frightens him, he loves the world and wishes to know about everything! But alas, Eros rarely wants to go out of his comfort zone and finds himself preferring to watch the world outside or on TV. Humble and fickle, Eros is both afraid of vanity and responsibility. While he's the sweetest tom you could ever meet, his heart does wander and Eros rarely wants to admit his wrong-doings; and rarely wants to accept flattery for ego is one of the worst things he believes he could ever have. Eros is a very clumsy feline and to be so sure of something isn't going to work out for him; as more often than not he's wrong, and he hates the humiliation of being wrong! While he loves his family, Eros just isn't going to take responsibility for hurting them, if he ever does, and would rather pin the blame on some other random element. This does sour his sweetness a little, but thankfully Eros very rarely makes mistakes; because he very rarely does anything! Sleepy and dozy, Eros would much rather take a nap than tumble around with his fellow kittens. Isn't that right, Eros?
Zzzz. Speaks for himself, doesn't he?
extra 2 :
Though my eyes may wander, though my heart is disloyal.
I will always love you; just as much as I love the world.
I'm yours, just as I'm everyone's.
Eros means love.
And love you I shall.
extra 3 : While he may sleep and snooze all day, Eros loves to play from time to time; or correctly, cuddle up to something from time to time. In the soggy cardboard box, Eros was found snuggling into a ratty old
fox and despite efforts to prize it out of his paws, Eros clings onto the toy like a lifeline. This fox-toy is worn out and it's once fluffy tail worn to a stringy rag, possibly as a consequence of decades of babies sucking on it; and now a kitten nibbling on the unfortunate fox's brush. At the SCS, Eros was offered a brand new toy but he appears to be as shy to new toys as he is to new animals and people; so with the fox, he stuck!
