Appearance
★ [ Breed ]: Ragdoll x Javanese x Moggy
★ [ Description ]:
Tall and sturdy, Saturnus' fur isn't the only thing that's hit a growth spurt. No longer small and fat, the tom has matured into his looks. Saturnus is tall like Pangur, and at his age he's taller than many fully grown cats. Saturnus is hued with ginger brown markings like his bebi that melt away into watery brown stripes along his cheek fur and tail. Another feature that the tom sports is the countless freckles that pepper his fur and the mottled paws he derives from his mother, Sanibel. While many of his looks can be attributed more from Pangur, the tom's curled ears and long fur come from more distant relatives like Vitani or Ross, continuing a long line of spicy red cats. At first glance, Saturnus comes across as sure-footed and graceful despite his missing leg, but closer friends and family will notice how calculated his moves seem to be.★ [ Height ]: Tall, average body lengths.
★ [ Weight ]: Sturdy, yet somewhat lean--it's mostly muscle! He's still very solid, though.
★ [ Eyes ]: Pond-green with lighter flecks.
★ [ Fur ; Length ]: Mostly long, Saturnus spends lot of times cleaning it, hoping to keep it as clean and groomed. Has a single braid that adorns a green bead.
★ [ Other]: Wears one amber earring-- contains a tiny thistle flower, and a necklace that features his star stone (has the acuity power). He also only has three legs, and sports a notch in his ear as well as a tiny scar on the left side of (his) muzzle.▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
Personal
★ [ Brief Personality ]:
Saturnus can be described as a mellow, well-rounded tom with a sharp mind and a caring and gentle nature. While he struggles with feelings of depression and anxiety due to the struggles he's faced in his short life, the Green Fire does his best to always push through them and give and contribute as much as he can towards his family, friends, and tribe-mates through coming up with many possible inventions, creations and ways of doing things-- in other words, he's a true scholar! While he may not sport a loud and proud voice, Saturnus is clearly very confident, poised and affluent in both his actions and words, yet still maintains a charming air of humility that he's inherited from both of his kind-hearted parents. No matter what calamity Nandryx may face, Saturnus is a strong, dependable cat that can be trusted.
“_Do you require my assistance? I'll be glad to do anything I can!_”
+ [ munificent ]: larger or more generous than is usual or necessary.
Saturnus is very sweet towards those he cares about, so much so that he'd gladly go out on a limb to help them. He loves helping others and giving to his tribe, and at times the tom is prone towards exhausting himself whilst attaining that goal. Saturnus is more than willing to go without to provide for others, and he enjoys exceeding the expectations of favors that are asked of him. At times, his generosity can be annoying, as the Green Fire has a habit of helping without being asked, but no cat could deny that he has a heart of gold.“_Oh, me? I'm afraid I'm nothing special._”
- [ bashful ]: reluctant to draw attention to oneself; shy.
With his mother being the leader of Light Tribe and with even more prestigious roots extending beyond, Saturnus is very self-conscious, believing that everyone expects the Silver Light's kits to be role model cats with exemplary behavior. With such a big shadow to grow up behind, the tom cares more than is necessary about appearance he gives off (both physically and ethically) due to his desire to not tarnish Sanibel's reputation. Due to this fear, Saturnus holds himself to a very high and strenuous standard. While he's learned his way around conversations, and has gathered major respect with the many cats in his tribe, Saturnus will still often get a surge of anxiety when placed in unfamiliar social situations, regardless of how graceful he may seem.“_"Don't worry; I have it under control._”
+ [ poised ]: having a composed and self-assured manner.
The tom makes sure that each step and move will lead him towards the least mess and scuffle, hoping to avoid any clumsy mistakes as well as divert stereotypes about disabled cats. Because of this, he seems more graceful than those with bias against three-legged cats would choose to believe. With poise in both his manner of speech and in the way he handles himself, Saturnus seems to exude a natural confidence, so much so that his littermates and parents both used to ask for his advice or his thoughts on things before doing them.“_I'd have to believe it to see it!_”
- [ pragmatic ]: dealing with things sensibly and realistically in a way that is based on practical rather than theoretical considerations.
Saturnus tends to be a bit of a know-it-all, which definitely doesn’t put him in any favor with other cats. He can’t help it; he thinks that frequently correcting people is actually just helping them! That being said, the large tom cat doesn’t spend much time leaving things to his imagination—he’ll spend as much time and effort possible to both discovering answers to his questions and using those answers to create something that is simultaneously useful and beneficial. While Saturnus has a creative and large imagination, he always maintains very grounded beliefs, believing moreso in what there is evidence to prove rather than in hypothetical theories.“_I'll make sure that you're safe, no matter what._”
+ [ stalwart ]: loyal, reliable, and hardworking.
Saturnus cares deeply about the cats he deems important, and despite his aversion to fighting, he’ll fight tooth and claw to protect them. The ginger tom is truly a knight in shining armor, dutifully working himself to the bone when he feels its for a good cause. It's not uncommon to see the Scholar actively attempting to hunt or patrol when needed, and he makes frequent visits with both Smiths and his fellow scholars for advice on any given project, enjoying working as a team to make progress. Saturnus is doggedly loyal, and no matter what sort of trouble his loved ones may get into, he won't stop trusting and protecting them despite the cost. Nothing is too much or too little for his tribe, and he constantly strives to be a respectable and strong cat.“_I'm sure you're right..._”
- [ impressionable ]: easily influenced because of a lack of a critical ability.
While the feline isn't as nearly as gullible as he was when he was younger, he dearly cares about others' opinions on him and he can often easily be talked into doing things in order to improve his reputation. Saturnus would never do anything harmful towards another cat, but he'll frequently switch into a goofy daredevil in order to impress cats who don't think that he's 'cool' enough, resulting in more than a few hair-brained adventures. Saturnus may be the 'golden boy' archetype, but an aloof and laid-back nature isn't innate to him, no matter how much he wishes it were so, and the tom is constantly aware of this."Well, when you think about it..."
+ [ intelligent ]: having or showing intelligence, especially of a high level.
Saturnus doesn't try to boast about it, but no cat can deny that he is very intellectual. It's very easy for him to solve puzzles, create things, and learn; some would say he's gifted. Saturnus loves finding new solutions to problems, and his one true goal in life is to create inventions that make the tribes' lives easier, and to spread what he learns to anyone who'd like to hear-- so much so that it's quite difficult to get him to stop! Still, the cat tries to refrain from flaunting his clever mind, and he's a firm believer that every cat possesses a strong, smart mind in their own individual way."I'll never forgive you for what you've done."
- [ grudging ]: reluctant or resentfully unwilling to give, grant, or allow something.
Saturnus often has felt that he isn't very important to anyone due to his own self-esteem issues, a fear that extends even to his own parents. Throughout his life, this insecurity often flared up-- when his brother was publicly diagnosed, when his parents adopted another kitten are just two examples. While he could never voice it or express this insecurity, it often manifests itself into a pessimistic, bitter self-doubt that the cat always tried his hardest to suppress. Still, as more and more cats he was close to made an exit out of his life, these grudges worsened, and now Saturnus holds a strong, deep-seated coalition of mistrust and shame at the thought of them. It's something he most definitely needs to address and work through, but at the moment the ginger cat prefers to keep this dark side of himself locked away from almost everyone.★ [ Extras ]:

Background
★ [ History ]:
[ I. Love Not Found ]
Despite many attempts, To-be Light Tribe leader Sanibel and Secondary-Water Pangur both never really had much luck finding long lasting relationships that didn’t crash and burn. Sanibel was sweet, beautiful, and loved genuinely, but every relationship she’d had before typically ended in unhappily ever afters. Pangur, being polyamorous, struggled with being in love with two monogamous cats and never could confess he loved either. However, the two knew they had something that they both wanted dearly: a family. Being close friends, they discussed it over watching the sun set one beautiful day, and the cats mutually concluded that they’d raise a litter of kittens together as friends after recent events and tension settled down. A few months later, in early autumn, a litter of five siblings—Thistle, Foxglove, Primrose, Jasmine, and Anise – were born.
From the start, some would say that Thistle was somewhat the braniac of the bunch. The chubby kitten could always be seen around camp meeting visitors and asking questions about almost any topic. He also frequently sought off to explore when his parents or beloved babysitter wasn't looking. Throughout his time in Light Tribe, Thistle made a few friends, and he especially grew close to Mugi, Anise, Jasmine, and his adopted grandfather, Rookson.[ II. Pinprick (Apprentice Days) ]
All things must come to an end, and so it did upon a gathering only six moons after Thistle's birth. With different emotions churning in the bellies of the cats of Nandryx (excitement, for the kits, and anxiety, to all those who had witnessed the appearance of the spirit cats,) Thistle was one of the many, many kittens that would begin a new chapter in their lives that day. He knew all about receiving his tattoo, as it was a great topic in conversation between any kits, but little did he expect to be claimed by the Fire Spirit that night. Of all the places he'd thought he'd go, warm sands and steamy terrain wasn't one of them...but Thistle, now Saturnus, wasn't disappointed. No, he was thrilled! It would be a new chance for him to make his own life, be his own individual, to learn and grow on his own. His only regret was that his sister Anise, now Frazier in the eyes of the spirits, wasn't destined to accompany him. Still, he also knew that it was time to move on; it wasnt a true goodbye, after all. He met his mentor Atticus and quickly bonded to the black tom, and met Atticus' other apprentice of whom he established a love-hate friendship. Atticus eventually disappeared for unknown reasons, leaving Saturnus without a mentor. It didn't help that around the same time his brother Leki left the tribes in order to find a cure for their brother Shino.Later, his high hopes of his new life were dashed when sickness swept through the tribes. Like many other cats, Saturnus was infected and immediately sent to Light Tribe to be placed quarantine. He rekindled his relationship with his brother Shino and father Pangur, as well as meeting a few other interesting cats before fighting sickness eventually took most of his time. He eventually recovered, but at the cost of one of his legs.
[ III. Shadows]
After his recovery, Saturnus immediately returned to his place Fire Tribe as a fully-fledged scholar, but he maintained constant trips to Light Tribe to visit the rest of his remaining family with the intentions of rebuilding his relationship with them. This went on for some time, the tom being around to witness the poisoning of his adoptive grandfather and the death (and revival) of his brother Shinonome. Life had its own turbulence, but none of it compared to the utter devistation that lay in his near future. For a while, tribe tensions were high-- Saturnus particularly feared for his mother, who faced backlash from not one but two rival tribes -- but all of it was quickly wiped away when a sudden tremor interrupted an eventful Gathering night. Ever since, the tremors continued, causing newfound tensions in the tribes with not their opposing cats, but rather with the earth of Nandryx itself. Not more than a week or two later, the cause of the tremors was revealed in a quite literal explosion; Mt. Tzurai, named for Saturnus' great grandmother herself, erupted in a calamitous blast of liquid fire that swallowed up almost all of Fire Tribe's territory. Saturnus, alonside his tribe, made a fateful escape, but only at the cost of a few tribe-mates' lives.Aside for mild lung damage and a few gashes in his face that were almost immediately healed, the Green Fire was otherwise unscathed, a fact that Saturnus quickly attributed to the blessing of the Fire Spirit. Wanting to assist his tribe the best he could, the tom worked towards hunting what he could (namely, a single old mouse) until he was eventually chosen for a patrol to investigate the remnants of Fire Tribe's demolished camp. The patrol revealed that almost all of their territory had been torn apart, but studying the igneous rock that covered their previous home revealed hidden potential: air pockets that could be converted into comfy dens. With Cyrus' permission, Saturnus and the rest of his tribe began to rebuild their home, converting what had been the remains of tragedy into new hope for the future.
