Jaggedstone

Not every cat is going to be suited to one way of life. Sometimes, we must choose our own destiny. That is the very reason I am here.


Name Jaggedstone

Residence Hollowclan

Role Warrior-Wanderer

Gender Tom (afab)

Pronouns He/him

Age 22 Moons

Birth Season Leaf-fall

Theme


Jaggedstone was born into Hollowclan, deep in a boreal forest. Shortly after his apprenticeship, he realised typical clan life was not suited to him. He couldn't connect to his clanmates, and the noise and busyness of the clan overwhelmed him. During a quiet night, Jaggedstone slipped unnoticed out of camp and traversed beyond the clan territory. From then he travelled the plains beyond the forest territory and became a wanderer. He managed his own territory, collected his own herbs and tended to his own wounds. He even found company with 3 other cats and named themselves the 'Doubt of the Thorns'.

History

A day or two after he left his clan, he was tracked by clanmates that followed his scenttrail. Just as Jaggedstone left the treeline, a dusting of snow began to cover the ground, which his clanmates were able to follow during the early hours of the morning. The patrol were determined to find him, so they continued despite warnings from their clanmates. Just as the snow worsened a day later, they found Jaggedstone hidden under a sheltering boulder, protected against the winds. However, they could not convince the cat to return.

"I'm sorry, but I can't go back with you. My future lies elsewhere."

"You are a coward," one of them had spat.

Personality

Jaggedstone was a fairly quiet cat whilst he was in Hollowclan. He wasn't unfriendly, he just enjoyed his own company more. He usually preferred to watch and observe his clanmates from afar to learn new skills. He could be somewhat uncommunicative towards his mentor and during patrols, though he was still always able to get the job done. He was a quick learner, though much better with his agilty and speed rather than strength and brawn.

Jaggedstone's Identity

Jaggedstone was born as a she-cat, though similarily to his feeling towards his clan, he was unable to connect with his gender. He struggled for quite some time, especially during his apprenticeship, though he could never pinpoint why until he had time to reflect during his time alone (after leaving Hollowclan). He had hesitated, sure he would be made a mockery, but introduced himself for the first time as a tom-cat to his new friends that he found along his journey. Thankfully, they accepted him, and even described their own struggles with gender.

You may think it's silly to make a cat transgender, but this is just a fictional story. Whilst my characters are not anthropromorthised, they still think very similary to humans; they have doubts, hopes, and internal struggles and conflicts that they have to deal with. These ideals are what make my characters feel more real, at least to me. As a genderfluid and autistic individual, I find great comfort in giving my characters these features, and I hope you can too.
