The activity check has come to a close and unfortunately we have lost a great deal of characters in the process. This means that more high positions are available for the taking. I am very eager to hopefully get this place thriving again, so welcome to all the new and returning members of Instinct! I really strongly encourage posting and activity - it is the best remedy to a struggling site, thank you guys all so much!
- LOST.
Appleflare was a pretty, young she-cat who never really fit into clan life. She wanted to leave the clan, but could never bring herself to do it. However, during her trips to the two-leg place she fell in love with a kittypet called Thomas. Despite how much they claimed to love each other it was a short fling. Appleflare was stuck in the clan, with no chance of leaving, especially with her pregnancy.
When the time came, she gave birth to a large litter. She was weak and sick. She didn't survive her kitting, only long enough to name her kits, leaving her surviving kits orphaned. There were four living kits in the litter and one stillborn. The first two kittens were Ravenkit and Ivykit. The stillborn kit was not given a name. The next two kits were named Black-kit and Pinekit. Pinekit was very week and passed only hours after his mother. Black-kit fell sick and died too. Ravenkit and Ivykit were strong though, and did just fine.
As they grew, timid little Ivykit relied a lot on her brother. She was hardly seen without him. She was easily frightened and nervous, she stuck to him at all times. Even as an apprentice, where she has learned a little independence, she was close to him.
Leader: open. Deputy: open. Medicine Cat: open. Medicine Cat Apprentice: brackenpaw.
