[font=dotum]Aubrielle Blackwell was a naturally shy and anxious feline. She would have preferred to have stayed within in her comfort zone, not branching out to meet new people, but having no one to talk to in AubadeClan besides Wolfstar and Aerosky for a few days had been starting to get to the young apprentice. Her paws shuffled nervously on the ground, her tail flicking slightly, and she took a few deep breaths in an attempt to get her heart to stop racing from the nerves and anticipation of it all.
As if a switch had been flipped, a smile appeared on her face, and her posture became more upright and open. She could do this, she told herself. No, she couldn't. Yes, she could. She'd go with that mindset for now. "Meet and greet, anyone?" she squeaked, sitting down near the campfire in the middle of the camp. She would introduce herself as Riley, since that's who she wanted to be- no one here knew her as Aubrielle, and she wanted to keep it that way. It was much more neutral, Riley, and she liked neutral.
She didn't remember much before AubadeClan- bits and pieces came and went, but nothing that gave her a solid past, but Riley didn't mind that too much, but it bothered her from time to time. She had been found on the border, knocked unconscious with no other signs of trauma, according to Wolfstar, and she hadn't pressed the matter further, since her adoptive parents didn't have the answers. For now, she would focus on her future instead, and that involved making friends.
Thump. Thump. Thump. Her heart beat could probably be heard by anyone a mile away, making the apprentice even more nervous. Breathe. Breathe. Breathe. She closed her eyes for a moment before opening them once more, and tried to put herself into a more calming mindset. She could do this- she was charismatic enough to do this. Her cream tabby fur, splashed with white, got slightly messed in the breeze, but she didn't mind, and actually embraced it, as she waited.

[font=dotum] Riley hadn't known that she could attract so many people at once, feeling a little shy as she smiled politely. "My name's Riley," the apprentice introduced herself. Junecub's question threw her off a bit- pronouns as in she, he, it? Hers were feminine right, since she was a girl? The young apprentice wasn't sure of this all yet, but she would be soon. "My pronouns are feminine," she added. Hopefully this is what they wanted to hear. She hadn't given it much thought, really- gender, sexuality, or attraction in general hadn't occurred to her, but she had assumed it was normal to be like this, but she'd delve deeper into this later. "It's nice to meet you all- Junecub, Kate, and Phoenixkit."

[font=dotum] Riley was starting to relax- thankfully, the people here weren't intimidating, and she was glad that AubadeClan was creating a reputation for being friendly and welcoming. "It's nice to meet you, Rosie. Mum's mentioned you before. I'm new here- only a day or two, really," the apprentice explained, substituting mum in for Wolfstar, just because the director had asked for it to be such, and because it made her seem like she had a family, which she was happy about.

[font=dotum] Riley was caught slightly off guard by Rosie's presence, but was quick to try and cover it up with a small smile and readjusting her position from where she had been sitting. "Hey Rosie. I'm good thanks, how about you?" she asked politely, the response basically robotic protocol after it being drummed into her that you should ask the question if they ask you. She was interested by her mother's best friend who was also her godmother, and she seemed cool, which is why that Riles hoped that she could become a confidant of some sort or something.

[font=dotum] Riley was quick to smile once more at Phoenixkit's question. "I'm great, thanks for asking. How about you?" she asked in reply, knowing that when people asked, they didn't want a long answer, but rather just to hear that you were good- brushing problems under the rug, really, but Riles didn't mind.
[align=center][fancypost bgcolor=;border:0px; height:55px; width:370px; background:url(http://38.media.tumblr.com/d5e…b58ieP3A1qdunk8o1_500.gif) center;][/fancypost][fancypost borderwidth=0px;letter-spacing:2px;color:#fff][font=dotum]RILEY -- 8 MONTHS -- AUBADECLAN -- TAGS
[font=dotum] Riley laughed, shrugging. "You look amazing, don't worry. Have they kicked at all?" the apprentice asked, curious. She was fascinated by babies and such, but at the same time it repulsed her to think of how they ended up there, so she didn't dwell on it often, but still- babies were cute. Her blue eyes were curious, with a small smile on her face as she sat up straighter in anticipation for Rosie's reply.

[font=dotum] //please do, wilding! I need an excuse for Riles to start questioning everything, and the seminar would be wonderful :)
Riles smiled, shifting nervously. "So, what's there to do around here?" she asked, looking at everyone, meaning no one in particular. Maybe she'd find out about some activities that she could do or something- she needed to be busy.
[align=center][fancypost bgcolor=;border:0px; height:55px; width:370px; background:url(http://38.media.tumblr.com/d5e…b58ieP3A1qdunk8o1_500.gif) center;][/fancypost][fancypost borderwidth=0px;letter-spacing:2px;color:#fff][font=dotum]RILEY -- 8 MONTHS -- AUBADECLAN -- TAGS
[font=dotum] Feel them? Riles couldn't recall anytime that she had ever been around a pregnant person, really. "Um, yes please. Is that okay?" she asked, worried that it was awkward and not something that people usually did. Did people usually do this? What if she hurt the kits, or Rosie?

[font=dotum]//do it when you have time- this month or next :)
Riley was immediately intrigued by the last thing on Junecub's list, and grinned. "Reading? I love to read, too! What's your favorite book?" she asked them excitedly. Books were one thing that she could always be excited about, and not act shy.
[align=center][fancypost bgcolor=;border:0px; height:55px; width:370px; background:url(http://38.media.tumblr.com/d5e…b58ieP3A1qdunk8o1_500.gif) center;][/fancypost][fancypost borderwidth=0px;letter-spacing:2px;color:#fff][font=dotum]RILEY -- 8 MONTHS -- AUBADECLAN -- TAGS
[font=dotum] Riley was intrigued. She wasn't really aware that there was such a wide variety of these things, neither was Silves when she had been younger, and this would be the revelation that triggered it all in Riles, just as something had for Silves, too. She padded forward, interested, and moved to sit down a little ways from her mother, and turned her attention to Junecub. This was also her first seminar, and the apprentice was interested to see how this all worked.

Binary? That meant two, Riley knew. "Um, male and female?" the apprentice suggested quietly, not wanting to say it too loud in case she was wrong.
Riley nodded. She understood their reasoning, but she had her favorite book that was close to her heart, and then the rest that she was fond of and were all tied for positions. "Oh, I like that series. Have you read The Raven Boys?" the apprenticed asked them, hoping that they had. She hadn't met anyone who had though yet, sadly.

[font=dotum] "I don't want to hurt you or anything..." Riley admitted nervously, practically holding her breath as she timidly reached out a paw to feel Rosie's swollen stomach. Bump. Another bump. Tiny, subtle things, but amazing at the same time, and Riles' eyes widened. "Whoa- you feel this all the time?" the apprentice asked in amazement.
[align=center][fancypost bgcolor=;border:0px; height:55px; width:370px; background:url(http://38.media.tumblr.com/d5e…b58ieP3A1qdunk8o1_500.gif) center;][/fancypost][fancypost borderwidth=0px;letter-spacing:2px;color:#fff][font=dotum]RILEY -- 8 MONTHS -- AUBADECLAN -- TAGS
[font=dotum] Riley appeared, glancing at the banner since it got her attention- bright colors had that effect on people, apparently. Overhearing her mother's explanation, Riles was both excited and nervous- yay, celebrations! Oh no- celebrations. Nonetheless, anniversaries were a big deal, especially for an entire Clan, and this deserved to be celebrated in style.

[font=dotum] //Meh, I haven't a clue cx
"Really? Doesn't it hurt?" Riley asked worriedly. It must be uncomfortable, right?

[font=dotum] Riley understood, or at least she thought she did. Luckily, there was going to be more information. So gender wasn't just physical- it was mental, too. Yep, got this. She liked spectrums- more freedom and choice.

[font=dotum] Riley grinned at Junecub. "Hey there, June-bug- is it alright if I call you June-bug?" the apprentice asked with a smile. "I'm good, thanks. How about yourself?" she asked them.
[align=center][fancypost bgcolor=;border:0px; height:55px; width:370px; background:url(http://38.media.tumblr.com/d5e…b58ieP3A1qdunk8o1_500.gif) center;][/fancypost][fancypost borderwidth=0px;letter-spacing:2px;color:#fff][font=dotum]RILEY -- 8 MONTHS -- AUBADECLAN -- TAGS
[font=dotum] //want to do a private thread between Junecub and Riles? c:
Riley grinned, happy that Junecub liked the name that she had given them. Hearing Kate, Riles couldn't help but feel proud of her parents, and smiled at Kate- a whole year! Her aunt was right- it did look nice.
