NOTE : these cats don’t actually have any magic or magical skills ! it’s all just tradition, sort of like how ancient cultures would perform like how some people coughs not me at all coughs spend too much time and energy with astrology to unlock the secrets of the universe even though it probably is just coincidence

cinderslip ♀the witch. a former loner, one who was trained from a young age to be incredibly spiritual, but not in the ways that you might expect. the small group she was raised in believed in the power of magic, blessings and curses. because of this, she can often be found praying over objects and performing elaborate rituals taught to her by her mother, and her mother’s mother. she believes strongly in the interconnectedness of the universe, and she was taught to believe that it was always trying to tell her something. this means that she looks for signs in everything, which was part of the reason she joined CLAN to raise her kittens. many disregard her as crazed, as it is pretty clear that the magic and signs she seeks don’t actually exist and that she’s probably reading far too far into things. she teaches her children her strange ways despite wanting them to adjust to their new life, although each kitten responds to it differently. IAN

sparrow/slander ♂the liar. given his warrior name because of his penchant to stir trouble, sparrowslander is a cat who is often found turning others against their friends or alliances simply because it amuses him. he likes to rile other cats up for approximately no reason, and his levels of instigation mean that he’s seldom very far from getting yelled at. is particularly interested in the lore that his mother explains and has a penchant for reciting her curses. IAN

daisy/swirl ♀the delicate. an emotional creature, one who believes strongly in the signs of the universe. unfortunately for her, the universe is callous in sending its signs, and she often ends up distraught for one reason or another. most of the things that she predicts from the “signs” don’t come true at all, but she holds out for the days where she finds a sign that fits effectively. turtle

basil/shine ♂ the charming. the type of tom that wants to engage in every social activity and make as many friends as possible. because of this, he is the first one to leave the nest. although he loves his siblings and their tight knit nature, he has a desire to see the entire world, and that can’t be done if you only hang out with four cats the rest of your life. a social butterfly, he is well adapted to most circumstances, except for fighting, because he doesn’t really want to hurt another cat. as his personality suggests, he is most interested in the art of charms. he thinks that his charms are wildly effective, as many do like him and act favorably towards him, but this is more because he’s a loveable cat and less about cosmic powers. he also has a strong bond with otterswim, which leads him to often try to convince his buzz kill of a brother that they haven’t all lost their minds. RACER

ivy/shimmer ♀the illusionist. mother’s right hand girl, ivyshimmer finds herself often doing the strangest of activities with cinderslip. she is more engaged with their mother’s past than her other siblings, which leads her deep into the voodoo magic her mother is fond of. it’s unclear if she really believes her mother or if she’s just devoted to making her mother happy, and there’s always an air of mystery around her. she also enjoys the art of illusion, or making cats think they see/hear/smell something that they don’t like a cheap new York city magician woof

otter/swim ♂the conservative. otterswim is the most against his mother’s teachings, which has always put him at a distance from his other litter mates. much preferring the ways of clanlife, he is the most adjusted out of the litter to their environment. dedicated to the warrior code, he strives to better his clan before anything else. biyuu ☆彡
