PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION;;
beetleskip is a short, bulky ragdoll tom with shimmering green eyes that seem to be everywhere at once in a calm way. his ears are a bit larger than average and his tail is a bit shorter, causing some clumsy unbalance in his steps. his ears are very dark at the tips and fade to a light brown very quickly before melting into a creamy colour. often tangled and unruly, beetleskip almost never takes care of his pelt other than washing it every now and again, which can cause a lot of trouble due to its length. he has a few scars, but the most noteable of damage would be the chunk taken out of his left ear from a messy border skirmish that he was unprepared for.
PERSONALITY/TRAITS;;
NERVOUS + HARDWORKING + SENSITIVE + POETIC
nervous + easily agitated or alarmed; tending to be anxious; highly strung
beetleskip has nerves nonstop, sometimes they appear more adamant than others. usually, it's when he has to speak to other cats or just speak in general. he's good with his words in his own head, but when it comes to speaking aloud, thoughts become jumbled and it's difficult for him to communicate.
hardworking + tending to work with energy and commitment; diligent
spending a lot of time in his head allows beetleskip to analyse everything he does, especially when it comes to his general performance. if he messes up, he works even harder to make up for it. miss a piece of prey? catch two more. he always feels the need to make up for mistakes.
sensitive + quick to detect or respond to slight changes, signals, or influences
it isn't difficult for beetleskip to pick up little things and think about them for a while. he often takes things to heart and has difficulty understanding sarcasm at times. he can spot a cat in distress from miles away.
poetic + written in verse rather than prose; having an imaginative or sensitively emotional style of expression
also relating to how much beetleskip thinks, he thinks a lot about how to word things before even saying them. tone, dialect, strength, volume. it's never to the point where he overthinks because he often speaks neutrally and never really analyses the consequences of his actions.
DISORDER[S]/DISABILITY[IES];;
Misophonia
HISTORY;;
beetleskip's father, keeneyes of riverclan, mated with an unknown mother who abandoned him and his kits almost immediately after they were born. helpful queens took care of the kits for the longest time. however, he felt so much shame for himself that he exiled himself and disappeared, leaving his kits parentless. beetleskip grew up with his sibling, poppyhop, and relied on them for everything. unfortunately, poppyhop disappeared without a word one night and left beetleskip on his own. since then, he'd been distant and hated getting close to cats and grew to dislike the noise as he began to focus on it more and more as the years went on. he earned his name earlier than most apprentices and now works harder than ever to keep the artificial family he has, however much he distances himself from them.
