[font=times new roman][size=7pt]a proper fancypost coming soon, hopefully. / v \

the pale brown tabby approached the border, a green collar to match his green eyes around
his throat, a small bell attached. riku - that was the young tom's name - worried
over whether he'd be let into the clan or not, but tried pushing away the worry, shaking his
head gently. he inched closer to the border, unrooting his cautious white paws as he approached,
shell-like ears tilting forwards to pick up the sounds of approaching paw-steps. the feline had
heard rumors of animals living together in a "clan", and the runaway kitty-pet thought the idea
sounded nice, and wanted to join their group. he wasn't sure how small he'd be in comparison
to the others, being short and slender by genetics, especially if his height was put against the
height of a non-feline. he had heard that not only felines lived in the clans, but deer, birds, dogs,
wolves, sharks, tigers! animals he had never seen before!

riku was barely three months old and yet he was already off, wanting to join a mysterious clan.
he tried not to think of his human owners. they were very kind to him and gave him much love,
but he wanted adventure and excitement; a new life! that was what riku wanted more than
anything else. he was polite enough to stay off of their borders - he could smell their scent,
which suggested they didn't want strangers crossing without permission - and instead sat on
the opposite side, waiting from someone to approach. his pale brown tabby coat was ruffled
as he got more nervous with each passing moment. what if a vicious riverclanner chased him
away, or even worse, killed him? the kitty-pet's heart skipped a beat at the mere thought of such
a thing. more negative thoughts started to manifest, making him regret his journey to their
borders, making his paws itch to flee, but he swallowed hard, pinning back his ears and digging
his small curved claws into the dirt. he would ask to join before he had the chance to run away;
he wasn't going to let fear rule him!

"h-hello, i'd like to join r-riverclan!" he choked out, stammering slightly. he had sounded a lot
braver in his head, but that couldn't be helped. some riverclanners would have to have some sort
of sympathy for the little scrap of brown tabby fur, right? "my name is r-riku!" the tom called
out, face flashing as he looked back down at his paws. what if they thought his name was stupid?
think positive! stop thinking that they're going to hate you! they can't be all that bad! i bet they're
really nice!

someone was already approaching! his eyes went wide as she complimented his name, a
smile playing across his lips at her words. he relaxed and the negative thoughts ebbed away
into a quiet murmur in the back of his head. riku was accepted into riverclan, just like that!
"t-thank you, miss! what's your name?" he replied quickly, almost having forgot to ask
for hers. when she asked about his family, riku hesitated, tilting his head to the side slightly,
ears flopping with the motion. "my mama, my real one, is gone. she stayed with her original
owners and i was adopted into a new home. i came from a twoleg nest, but i didn't really like it
there too much.." the small tom explained.

"skippingstones? skippy?" he repeated with curiosity. her name was very odd
compared to what he was accustomed to, yet it was a very pretty name, in his opinion.
he intended to keep his own name, though, even if it did sound silly to the other cats
of the clan! "y-yes, i'd love to see your camp! you said it's on a steamboat? are they
odd things that float on water? the kitten asked, tail flicking back and forth. he
had seem some odd things, boats, floating on the surface of lakes, for example. a steamboat
couldn't be too much different!

riku was busy chasing after a butterfly, bubbly and happy as usual, batting at it's wings
and watching it flutter up higher, causing him to jump on a long abandoned chain or table
to reach it. eventually, his hot pursuit of the butterfly led him up to the roof of the
steamboat where skippingstones sat. it eventually fluttered away until it was too far for
him to get without wings, leaving him to notice the fem who welcomed him into the clan.
"h-hello, skippy!" he purred affectionately, sitting near her and looking up at the older molly
with shiny green eyes.

riku had been trying to stay out of trouble, keep his nose clean, and prove that he was
a worthy riverclanner. he had just joined, after all, and didn't know everything about
the clans and their customs quite yet. when he heard minnowscales call something out
about herbs, and another medicine cat apprentice, he wasn't exactly sure what she meant,
but it had definitely gotten him curious. the young brown tabby approached the older
fem with wide, green eyes, a little nervous because he didn't have skippy with him at the
moment. "um, 's-scuse me, but i'd like to learn a few things about h-herbs, but i don't
know if i'll be any g-good at it! sorry in a-advance!" riku stammered in embarrassment,
lowering his head. he had heard that apprentices were young cats that were training to take
on a role, like being a warrior or something, and so a medicine cat apprentice had to be a
cat training to use herbs. "i think i'm too young, but my name is r-riku! it's v-very nice
to meet you!"

riku was new. not very interesting or exciting, no special skills to make him stand out; just
new. and he wanted to make some friends. he was shy, stammered a lot, and sort of nervous,
but had a good heart and wanted to find other riverclanners to talk to. he thought that he could
call a meet-and-greet. then, he could introduce himself to several different cats, and make a
whole lot of new friends! the idea was enough to get him excited! "meet and greet here!" he
called out, a warm smile on his maw.

he was shocked that the head riverguard and the clan's leader approached. two riverclanners
of high status, stopping to talk with him! riku's cheeks warmed up and he laughed softly, a
smile on his face once more. "nice to meet you b-both, frenchstar, haise sasaki! my name is
r-riku!" the tom replied quickly. how many others would he get to meet? he had no clue
how many, but he hoped that he would meet a lot. maybe even skippy would come and introduce
him to her friends!

suckaz? what did that mean?

riku was a new joiner, too, and when he heard "here to join", his ears perked up and he found
himself wandering over to see who it was. another kitty-pet, like he had been, or maybe a
loner or a rogue? to his surprise, it wasn't any of the things he had assumed. she carried
a different scent, and seemed like a very, very impatient sort of character; maybe someone who
hated to sit still. "hi, my name is r-riku, and what's your name? i just joined, too, so we can
be new joiners t-together, right?" the little brown scrap churred.

riku had been exploring when he heard a little commotion. following it to the source, he soon
spotted a young, pitiful kitten all on her own, barely able to speak, it seemed. his eyes went
wide as he approached her, leaning forward slowly while hoping the others wouldn't mind, giving
her a little sniff. "she is c-cute," riku replied to the medicine cat absently. he smelled
other cats, but just barely, his sense of smell not nearly as keen as those around him. why was
she on the border like this? "hi, can you t-talk? my name is r-riku, and this is riverclan! i
wonder why you're on the b-border.." the male trailed off, tapping his paws against the earth
lightly as he tried to come up with a reason.

riku heard a crash, and a groan. he rushed over to micron with wide eyes, startled by his sudden
crashlanding. the young tom could see the cuts all over his left flank, red liquid beading in the
wounds, oozing out and leaking down his side. "you're b-bleeding! are you okay?" he asked,
still shocked. he had wings? riku was having a hard time adjusting to all of the odd traits of the
clanners. who did he call for when someone was injured? medicine cats. medicine is something
that helps you feel better if you're sick, or sometimes hurt, i think. maybe i need a medicine cat?
who's a medicine cat? the kitten wondered, panicking a bit. what if micron suddenly died? it
would be his fault for not getting help! of course, the wounds weren't actually bad enough to kill -
probably - but riku didn't quite know that. "hold in t-there! please!"

"c-cold?" he asked. he looked around. she was too young to eat solid prey, so she probably
needed milk; where was her mother? riku did what he could, wrapping his still-warm body around
hers like a blanket while licking her fur backwards, which was supposed to warm someone up if
they were cold. "is there any mothers around here, w-with milk? i think she m-might need some
of that, o-or something else.." riku murmured. "oh, i don't know! i'm not a m-mother cat, i don't
know what to d-do.." the tabby murmured. as she uttered to word, fern, he blinked. could that be
her name? fern was a nice name, he thought; a loner name, just like his own! of course, hers was more
natural-sounding. "nice to m-meet you, fern!" he replied, trying to keep her content the best
he could.

"o-oh, okay," he replied to clearfish, looking back at the bloodied male. aiming to rasp his
salmon-tinted tongue over the open wounds to clear out the dirt and gravel, he tried to clean micron
up, so he wouldn't get an infection from his crashlanding.

"fern! o-or, fernkit, right?" riku called out brightly, smiling as he approached the fem. she
looked healthier and warmer than she had when he found her at the border. he was only a month
older than her; could they perhaps become friends? he certainly hoped so! riku had introduced
himself to her earlier, but he wasn't sure if she remembered, as she hadn't been in the best state
when she had been found. "you might already know, but i'm r-riku." he introduced with a
polite dip of his head. she seemed just like him, wanting to make some friends and get to know the
other clanners just as much as he did. riku was still a stammering mess sometimes, but he was
getting a bit better. "do you like riverclan so f-far? i think the steamboat's really c-cool, don't
y-you?"

"y-yes! and i would've caught it, too, but it flew too high.." he complained softly. when she
asked if she could ask him something, he almost giggled at the thought - asking to ask a question -
but nodded anyways. "of course, skippy! you can ask me anything!" riku replied eagerly,
whiskers twitching as he waited for her to ask the question. what could she possibly be asking about?
his mind went over many questions, too many for him to decide on just one. maybe she'll ask if
i can catch another butterfly! or, maybe she'll ask about my twoleg life! or if i can swim or not! there's
so many questions! the little tom wiggled his hindquarters with anticipation.

positive traits
kind-hearted - considerate - devoted

neutral traits
awkward - joking - anxious

negative traits
jumps to conclusions - emotional - dependent

riku is generally a kind-hearted young tom, taking the emotions and states of others into
account while he talks to them. he cares deeply for those around him, particularly his clan-
mates, and will do his best in any situation to support them and make sure they feel loved.
he puts others before him and his choices revolve around what will benefit others. the tabby
loves to share and socialize when he gathers the courage to, and means well! this ties in with
his considerate side; he thinks about how others feel before acting, as mentioned above. aside
from that, riku is very devoted and will never betray his clan-mates or family so long as he has
the choice to avoid it. he will serve him clan until he dies, gladly, and has a strong desire to
prove himself.

riku is awkward; socially awkward in particular. while he likes to socialize and make friends, at
first, he's a stuttering mess, tripping over his own words and blushing quite a bit. he doesn't
know how to hold a regular conversation with strangers, and so it can take some time for him
to adjust and become more socially skilled around you, but him awkwardness is endearing to
an extent. he makes up for this with his joking personality; little corny quips here and there
once he's comfortable with you. he loves jokes and collects joke books, finding new ones to tell
his buddies when he next sees them! riku's also fairly anxious.

of course, no character is without their flaws! riku has a bad habit of jumping to conclusions.
due to being anxious most of the time, he still jumps to conclusions, assuming things that may
be untrue; actually, they're untrue the majority of the time. he worries over small things and
is very forgetful. another flaw is that he's very, very easily moved to tears; riku is an emotional
train with no brakes. crying, laughing, fuming, cowering. he jumps from emotion to emotion
uncontrollably, though he's happy most of the time - luckily - but that can turn to tears at
the moment a sad scene pops up in a movie. riku tends to be attached and dependent on others
for help, likely due to being a kitten and a former kitty-pet, and it's assumed that he'll grow out
of this trait with time.

build

fur texture
soft - silky - tangles / fluffs easily

fur length

coloration

eye color
yellowish green - blue at birth, like all newborn kittens

riku is a small tom, below average height for someone his age, with a very slim, agility-based
body. he was born to run, his legs being the most muscular part of his body, allowing him to
run, swim, and jump better than several others. of course, he doesn't have much natural strength;
speed and agility is more riku's thing. his fur is soft, like a young bird's downy, to the touch, while
also being silky and lush, like the common riverclanner's. surprisingly, it tangles very easily, and
requires frequent brushing or grooming from riku. he cares a lot for his coat and it's not often seen
in a bad state. it would tangle more, but his fur is average length, which means a few less tangles
for the young tom. pattern-wise, riku is a pale brown tabby with white legs, a white chest, white
facial markings, and so on. his eyes are a rich, golden-green color, much like his mothers, though he
doesn't quite remember her.

history

riku was born in a kitty-pet family to his mother and father, and lived happy for the first month
of his life, but soon caught the eye of a young girl who chose to adopt him. he was taken to
live with the young girl's family, ripped away from his mother, father, and siblings, but he didn't
think it would be too bad. the girl was smothering and didn't give riku any room to breath,
forcing him to wear "kitty clothing" and keeping him locked up in her room for most of the time.
the young tom soon became upset with the way she was forcing him to live, and so when she
accidentally left her window open, he escaped through it and out into the world. for about a week,
he lived in the outskirts as a rogue, before hearing rumors of the clans. intrigued by these odd
rumors, he ventured off into the wilderness, discovering riverclan in the process. he was welcomed
in and finally found a home that he felt safe and free in, much to the young tom's relief.
