❛He became the perfect mirror, reflecting everything they desired while possessing no depth of his own.❜ THE WEIGHT OF DUTY madrona application ❛He is a ghost that still breathes, performing the rituals of the living out of sheer habit.❜ Hello! Welcome to my application for Madronekit! ❛The tragedy of total obedience is that you eventually forget how to scream when you are burning.❜ Madrone is a very mature cat, and is very respectful to all of his clanmates. He tries to do everything for his clan, and is very selfless to a point that may seem like he is self-sacrificing. Madrone is also very polite and his mind so set on just being the best and most obedient in other cat's eyes, that he never really does anything for himself and might seem cold and distant to other cats, when all he really wants to do is serve his clan in the best way possible. He is also very isolated, and spends most of his downtime alone. This also makes it very hard to make small talk and socialize with, and he may seem to behave like a robot. ❛The distance between him and the world cannot be measured in paces, but in centuries of silence.❜ Madrone padded around the forest, his paws crunching in the moist newleaf soil. He paused and glanced up at the towering trees above him. A soft breeze ruffled his fur as a willow tree swayed in the distance. The sunlight warmed his pelt as he stretched himself out before glancing around, continuing with his daily duties. ❛To be a savior to everyone else requires you to be a tyrant to your own heart.❜ I really like everything about the design, especially because I'm generally a big fan of Hummingbird's art and designs, and I would join any litter hosted by them. These designs are gorgeous, and I especially like the stripe patterns on the back and head, the ringed tail, and the patches of different browns all over his body. I think that this makes him very unique, and I just fell in love with him the moment I saw him. ❛A soul broken by duty does not shatter cleanly; it grinds itself into a fine, suffocating dust.❜ I was thinking that maybe, when he gets older, he could learn to think for himself, and being in the clan isn't just about doing his duties, it was also about being part of the community. Some ideas are that he could possibly become a medic to serve his clan even more, or maybe he could find a fork in the road in which he chooses the dark side, and soon becomes sort of 'evil' and sides with the dark forest. Some suffix ideas when he gets older are harmony, glade, or melody if he chooses the good side, and serpent, eternity, or illusion. It could be as if he didn't seem what he actually was, which makes him seem innocent when blaming cats for a murder or something. Just some ideas i have >:3 Also, is it possible to change his prefix? If not, that's also totally fine. ❛When an innocent cat decides to rewrite the world, they do not burn the forest—they simply starve it of light.❜ Thank you for reading my application and I hope you have a great day! ❛He spent his youth carrying their weights, so he knew exactly where to press to make their spines snap.❜
