NAME: Nori
AFFILIATION: Outsider, Loner
IMMEDIATE KIN:
Meri (mother)
Nami (father)
BASIC APPEARANCE: Dusky-brown-and-white tabby tom with one icy-blue and one hazel eye.
DETAILED APPEARANCE: A small white tom with patches of brown tabby marking his pelt, he is unremarkable in size and appearance. It's only when his eyes are seen that he becomes truly remarkable—vividly contrasting colors make him seem otherworldly, with one piercing, pale blue eye and one warm, gentle hazel eye.
PERSONALITY & DESCRIPTION: His world is black and white. His birth was unplanned and unwanted by his parents—they claimed his odd-colored eye would curse them. As soon as he was weaned, he was abandoned. Told to wait in a grass patch, he did... for days on end. But his parents never came back. Hunger drove him from his hiding place, and it was a miraculous dead mouse that he came across that stopped him from starving to death. He wandered utterly alone for a moon, barely able to fend for himself, and fear became a constant companion. The lesson that no one was trustworthy came fast, and it’s one that is deeply ingrained in his mindset. He’d run at the first sign of danger, and backing off before trouble started kept him safe, but a little kit can only do so well alone. He met a cat named Charlotte on his third moon who shattered all of his expectations of how cats were supposed to treat him, and it was easy to see how much he idolized her. The constant fear was replaced by reverence of his savior, and there was little in the way that could change his mind. Anything he did would be to help her, to make her happy, and he became determined to fulfill this to the highest degree. Whoever he would have grown up to be was utterly torn asunder and left behind, and Nori shed his softness in favor of what he perceived as strength—violence, and everything that followed it. Gentle, yet merciless. Devoted, yet vengeful. Grounded, yet lost. He lives to please, lives to fulfill what’s expected of him, and his want for praise keeps him in line and obedient. The ingrained terror of being left behind again traps him and ensures that he’s chained to his twisted dependency on others. His outlook on life isn’t very diverse, and he rarely takes the time to think of himself—he’s simply unaware of it. If he can learn actual independence then he might blossom into someone worthy of self-respect, but until then he’s stuck living the path he never got to choose.
