Flutter at first glance is as easy-going as they come. He’s a picture perfect definition of a gentle giant, as his name would suggest. There’s nothing to this feline that screams… much of anything at all. Unobtrusive perhaps to a fault, Flutter often can feel like another face in the crowd, easily falling into the background of any scenario. It’s what he prefers most of the time, anyways. He tends to be methodical in his tasks, going through the day with a careful touch, gentle even with the leaves under his paws. He enjoys being helpful in his own way, often accommodating for his siblings needs, and relentlessly optimistic in the wake of misfortune that might befall any cat he cares for.

On the outside, at least. Flutter struggles perhaps more than some cats with things that should, theoretically, be simple. He has a habit of getting quickly burnt out by regular tasks, or conversations. It isn’t to say he doesn’t enjoy the company of his friends, but there’s a certain level of responsibility he feels with almost every relationship he forms that slowly starts to fall through the moment things grow harder, and more personal. Whether that tension is projected by Flutter himself or not, doesn’t always matter. It results in bouts where Flutter doesn’t have the energy to do much of anything, preferring to be in his nest and snooze the day away.

If there’s one thing that helps him though, it's his idealism. When the going gets tough, Flutter focuses on the happy things as best he can, even when it might not be appropriate. What else can he do? He believes that regardless of the situation, things will turn out alright. Even if it’s all cosmic chaos, everything must happen for a reason, so he simply has to keep going. Every hill has a dip, and every dip has a hill, right?

Flutter also tends to be fairly relentlessly trusting to almost all the cats he meets. He manages to keep an open mind towards most interactions, wanting to see the best in people regardless of what they’re like. Though he is trusting, Flutter is also very specific about the cats he considers friends. He’s scrupulous about one’s character once there’s grounds for connection established, which can make it a little difficult for him to maintain friendships. Unfortunately for others, small little innocuous mistakes can completely ruin the image of a cat for Flutter.

It isn’t something he does on purpose, of course. Flutter hates conflict, so when he feels like something isn’t working in a friendship, he has a habit of clamming up and becoming difficult to communicate with. While it's easy to tell that Flutter is emotional about something, it’s a lot harder to get him to actually conceptualise what he’s feeling. He’s discreet about such things, so it can sometimes spring up as a surprise to some cats who see Flutter pulling away.

Flutter has a hard time with emotions, in general. Whether bad or good, it gets very overwhelming for him very fast. Intense joy can be just as debilitating as intense sadness for Flutter, and both sides will probably end with tears and an upset stomach. This can make Flutter feel inconsistent for some cats. It doesn’t take much to set him off, and his moods can flip like a lightswitch, one poorly worded sentence away from disappearing into his nest for a few days.

It's no doubt, even at a younger age, Flutter can be fairly bogged down by bouts of melancholy. Perhaps there’s no real reason for it, but it comes and goes like rain and sun. There are moments where he wishes he could have the same kind of energy everyone else seems to have. The world has a habit of moving too quickly for Flutter, who wishes there was just a little more time to stop and smell the roses.

Flutter is a very religious cat, as well. His spirituality deeply influences his world view, and he often daydreams about being part of a prophecy. Flutter doesn’t yearn to be special, but he does silently wish he could touch the stars and be part of something bigger than himself. He believes in destiny, and things being written out in the stars. All the bad things, they happen for a reason. They have to, or wouldn’t it all be for nothing?
