Name: Adeole - Dream
Desired Name: Whatever you dream it to be. "Nightdream" would be his warrior name.Allegiance: Solitary
Rank: N/a
Age: 44 Moons
Birth Moon: Shadow Moon (2017)
Sex: Gib - Nonbinary (Any pronouns, will typically use he/it/they when writing them out of habit, but any are acceptable.)
Appearance: Dream is a lanky black cat with a long coat that has rusted in the sun, especially around his neck, flank and tail. He keeps his pelt clean and well-groomed, but tends to look wild and unkempt regardless... perhaps due to scars hidden under his dense pelt. His eyes are a bright, alert green that stare out from the shadows that he otherwise blends into.
Personality: Intentionally and purposefully an enigma, Dream doesn't explain himself to anyone or anything. He can come off as quite stand-offish, but despite his outward antisocial behavior, he does have a deep love of conversation and companionship, even if it he is incredibly particular about it.
Dream never tells anyone his name. He will, if pressed, share the names he has been given before, including "Dream", which has become what most cats know him as. He almost seems to enjoy collecting new names, and when another gives him a new name, he accepts it as a new truth.
History:
Content warning: Hoarding/Animal Abuse References
Once, the strange cat was a tiny black ball of fur, blind and helpless. If its mother had given it a name, it would never be remembered. It grew up wild, its siblings and it fed and sheltered by a hoarder of a human. It was never socialized, surrounded by its own filth and too many other animals. By the time the house was seized and the cats trapped and neutered, it would be fostered by an ambitious human-- only for it to escape on the first day in its new home.
The cat would get the first name it would recognize when stealing food off of a porch. Alternating between "Mimi" and "Adeole" by a trio of children (who disagreed on if he was a boy or a girl, or why a boy couldn't be called Mimi), he would slowly start to warm up to the youths. Not enough to let them touch him, but enough to let them stare at him and offer more treats.
He would meet a young fox early into these first few weeks with these children, and share the scraps they offered him. It wasn't worth fighting over them, after all.
One day, however, the family disappeared. Adeole and the fox were left to fend for themselves. They were chased off by the new humans who moved in, and Adeole followed the fox into the forest. He took down a bird and shared it with the fox before they parted ways, but he would continue to run into the fox. The pair became unlikely hunting partners. Adeole would consider the fox to be his only true companion, and speak fondly of her.
Mimi would also run into other cats, loners and rogues who lived in the woods. He would earn the name "Dream" from a stranger after not sharing his human-given name, and bemused, accept it as his 'cat' name. He has lived in the wilds near the ancient clan territories for a number of moons now, and is just beginning to earn a reputation among the other feral cats that live there.
