Role-player: Shadowsong
Name: Nightkit
Gender: She-cat
Physical description: Nightkit is a small black cat. Her eyes are pale gold with a green ring around the pupil. Though she is blind, she moves with confidence, using her whiskers, sense of smell, and sense of hearing, to navigate the enclosure. She recognizes other cats by their scents and voices.
Views: Nightkit believes that the clan should not reunite. She enjoys her independence, and she believes that a clan would decrease her ability to make her own decisions.
Kin: Mother, Dingypelt (deceased), Father, Nightpelt, Sister, Tawnypelt, Sister, Brownfur
History: Nightkit was the smallest of the littler; therefore, her parents did not expect her to survive. She was born without optic disks, which left her blind. Her mother was left weak after the birth of her kits, and scarlet fever took her soon after they were weaned. Her father showered his affections on Nightkit's sisters, neither of whom had a disability, leaving his oldest daughter largely ignored. He was often critical of Nightkit, and felt embarrassed by her blindness and habit of speaking her mind without any sense of tact.
Thus, Nightkit grew up largely by herself. She never learned to hunt; instead, she foraged for carrion, eating the scraps left behind by others. She responded to his neglect by becoming opinionated and sarcastic, in order to prove to herself and others that she did not need acceptance from anyone--when in actuality she did, she just refused to admit to this fact. Her sense of independence made her resent any form of authority except her own--hence her opinion about the reformation of a clan.
In spite of the favoritism her father showed toward her siblings, Nightkit tried to look out for them, protecting them as best as she could from the dangers of the enclosure: other cats, rats, for example.
When she was not scrounging for carrion, Nightkit was listening to the elders' stories. Though she didn't really believe them, they helped to pass the time, and the elders' company was preferable to that of her father's, with his critical comments, or her sisters', who spent far too much time discussing the different toms.

Anyway, after reading the comments, I decided to re-write my post. I changed the character's name, which I assumed would be permissible as the cats here do not understand half of the words I used in the names--my mistake. Also, in my opinion, the writing was not my best. I'm in grad school and can do better. With that out of the way, on to my re-vamped version.![Darky [Megan] Avatar](http://i565.photobucket.com/albums/ss96/hypnodarky/hs_rosepink.png)
