Name: Basil
Desired Name: Basilheart
Allegiance: Kittypet
Rank: Kit
Age: 9 moons
Birth Moon: River Moon (2020)
Sex: Tom
Appearance: Basil is still growing into his frame; he’s about as tall as he’ll ever be, but he still has the loose pelt of a kit who has more filling out to do. He’s lanky and leggy, and more on the slender side, not very muscular and a bit soft given his life as a kittypet since birth.
His pelt is mostly cream, with seal-point markings on face, ears, paws and tail: dark fur contrasting sharply the pale off-white of the rest of his fur. His eyes are a pale blue, bright against the dark brown fur around his eyes.
Basil tends to amble along when he’s in the comfort of his own home, assured that nothing bad will ever happen to him there. When he ventures out, either to visit kin or simply to enjoy fresh air and sun, he’s a bit more anxious, moving quickly and staying low: he knows the world is harsh and anything could happen to a cat not on his guard.
Personality: Basil is an easy-going, roll-with-the-punches type of cat. He usually follows where he’s led without question, either by his housefolk or by family. He’s not much of a fighter, not much of a hunter: a kittypet through and through. He’s content to live his life as he has since birth- he has no ambition to be anything more than what he is. A kittypet, happiest with his housefolk or playing with his kin.
He’s affectionate, enjoying the brush of a shoulder or sharing tongues with his family, and while normally sedate he tends to be more active around his sisters, playing as roughly as they, tussling happily until he’s worn out and more than ready to collapse and sleep.
He tries to be friendly to any cats he comes across, and sometimes they’re friendly back, but most loners tend to look down on him for his upbringing. Still, he’s made a friend or two, in time, and he loves to listen to their stories of life without humans- even if he isn’t the least bit keen on experiencing it for himself.
History: Born to Dahlia, a kittypet, and Noctus, a loner, along with his three sisters. They grew up in the comfort of a Twoleg den, looked after by the people who lived there with them, and his days were spent in exquisite comfort and safety. He wanted for nothing- food and water were always available and he had all the company he could stand; and sometimes more than what he could stand.
Still, he was a bit taken by surprise when he was taken from his home and to another- taken from his mother and sisters and brought to a new den where he was alone. He warmed quickly enough to his new Twolegs, now his sole company, until he discovered that he could get outside on his own through a small flap in the door. He found quickly that he wasn’t far at all from his mother’s den- his old home- or from his sisters. He meets with them now and again, still keen on their company even as he’s growing more content in his new place. The arrival of another cat, this one just a moon younger than him, has given him the sort of company he’d had before; as such, in the last few days, his visits to his kin have tapered off.
