Personal


Personality:
    {Friendly | Inquisitive | Compliant | Steadfast | Reserved}

    {Friendly} With such a social nature, Coud is not only willing to engage with others, but he enjoys it. Sometimes he'll go out of his way just to meet a stranger, and he's almost always willing to spend time with anyone he knows, even if he only barely does. A fleeting meeting can be enough to leave an impression on him, and he'll almost always recognize someone he's encountered before. He'll often take up any chance to spend time with a cat he knows, and enjoys getting more familiar with them. Shy cats seem to be a weakness of his, and he'll often put in extra effort to befriend them. It can be a bittersweet endeavor for him, often reminding him of his childhood. Everyone is a viable target for his kindness, though; no one is safe from the plague of affection that is Coud.

    {Inquisitive} Coud is, as ever, an inherently curious individual; he wants to know absolutely everything he can about anything at all. The world is a wonderous and limitless place, and though not everything may be of terrible importance, he wants to understand it anyway. Anything, from the survival instincts of an insect to the war stories of the elders, will irrevocably capture his attention. Eager to learn, he'll always seek out the wise and knowledgeable and ask them countless questions, in hopes of drawing on their experience and coming to know everything they do. Because of all this, he is a very attentive apprentice, listening to everything that is said to him and putting his utmost, heartfelt effort into remembering every detail. As a result, he is a quick study, picking up on important particulars and helping himself-- or asking for him-- when he's uncertain about something. He's a wonderful student to teach, not only for the ease with which he takes to the lesson, but for his passion about it.

    {Compliant} It may seem odd, with his icy eyes and sharp features, but Coud likes to make others happy. There isn't much more he values above that. Furthermore, he enjoys helping others in any way he can in order to make sure that they're happy. Beyond that, though, he wants to do whatever he can in order to prove that he's a good cat; there are dark things that a lot of cats expect him to live up to, and he's determined to show them that his heredity isn't his destiny. Sometimes, this means he will agree with others in order to avoid confrontation, and often he finds himself more wearied with these situations than offended or hurt by them.
    Though he is obedient to authority figures, Coud sees them more as cats with experience rather than anyone who has transcended a threshold of superiority. They are flawed, for no cat is perfect, yet they have earned their rank through their life. Though he is not blind to their imperfections, he respects them for what they had to go through to ascend to their position. Despite her clear doubt of him, Coud is loyal to Vitani-- not only because she is his brother's mate, not only because she is his mentor, and not only because she is his leader, but because she is a leader at all. Coud is very loyal to his tribe, as well as the Spirits themselves-- and therefore, his loyalty inevitably branches to all of the tribes.

    {Steadfast} He may be willing to help others and do what they say, but he will not go against what he believes in. Coud is a determined, dedicated young cat, holding tight to his values and refusing to waver from them. Some may consider it stubborn, and he won't argue the point; he is unrelenting and inflexible when it comes to his morals, refusing to bend to the whims of others if it would go against his beleifs. Even so, he is not completely obstinate; he can be encouraged to see other sides of things, shown different perspectives, and he's surprisingly willing to see how he may be wrong in a situation. Yet, again, his morals are where he will not waver, and that is simply because he believes in what he does; every cat deserves a second chance, no sin is beyond forgiving, no mistake is worth resentment. There are many things that Coud believes in that may seem too generous, but the young cat is very aware that his actions and virtues will affect another cat's life, and he always does his best to remind himself of that.

    {Reserved} Despite being quite the honest cat, Coud is not always the most forthwith about his thoughts or feelings. He prefers to keep them to himself at times, and has the bad habit of brushing off other people's concerns; most of the time, if anyone notices a somber expression on his face, he'll smile it away. While on the surface he's ready to help others as well as learn from them, deep down he wants to be strong and handle his problems on his own. Whatever he deems to be an unnecessary burden to share with others will often be suppressed until he's alone and can pick through it by himself. Whatever is going on in his mind has made him a bit quieter, no longer going blatantly out of his way to avoid seclusion. As he grows older, Coud becomes more content to sit in silence, rather than constantly seeking out company as he used to. Now, he finds great peace in sitting and simply thinking.

History:

    {First Moons}
    Snow was born in Fire Tribe to the Silver-Fire, Tzurai, and her mate, Nobuo, in a litter of five. Since their litter was in the nursery at the same time, Tzurai's and Eva's kits interacted quite a bit. Of the two litters, a small gang would emerge; Snow, his sister Speckle, and his best friend Cerul soon became an inseperable trio. They did everything together, from suffering their mothers' baths, to chasing bugs, to even breaking the rules. If one of them was guilty of or praised for something, the other two weren't far behind.
    During the months in the nursery, Snow had several random nights spent sleepless by nightmares. On the nights that these afflicted him, he would often sneak into the Yellow-Fire's den and doze there until dawn, when he would return to the nursery and sleep until sun-high. It took some convincing, but Castail had finally permitted these - only occasionally, though, and not for too long. For Snow, they had lasted just long enough for the calming scent of the deputy's den to chase off the remnants of his bad dreams.
    The Ceremony of Light was equally the best and worst day of Snow's young life. His sharp blue eyes were bright when the Water-Tribe tattoo appeared on his shoulder. The excitement faded from them as his sister received the rune of earth - and further more as the same mark emerged on Cerul's hackle.
    "Take care of him," Snow had whispered desperately, eyes pleading.
    "I will." The siblings had stared at each other until Cerul had returned, his embrace to Snow immediate. It was the first time life had cheated him.

    {Ice}
    Water Tribe welcomed him, yet continued to regard him warily. With that fur, those eyes-- there was no mistaking his father, the tom that had wrought so much havoc on them. In hopes of keeping him under control, as well as ensuring the blame of his revolt should it come would fall to none of her cats, Vitani took on the task of mentoring him. Despite his great excitement at this prospect, Coud knew that it wasn't just because he showed potential, or that she wanted him to prove himself. She didn't want him to hurt anyone else. The more time he spends in Water Tribe, the more alienated he feels.

    {Petals and Feathers}
    Meeting Xander by chance one day while trying to make a flower petal necklace for Vitani, Coud found an unlikely friend in the gruff tom. The short time they spent together brought Coud a friend in his own tribe, and he's done his best not to let his anxiety about his lineage get in the way of trying to be happy. As proof of this friendship, Xander gave him one of the feathers from his tail; in honor of his companion, Coud has put it in a similar place.

    {Remember}
    A day spent with his best friend, after three months of not seeing him, might have been the best day he'd had in a long time. Just seeing Cerul-- now Kyle-- made him feel much better. Despite Xander's faith in him, it was still proving difficult to completely ignore the looks he got from his tribemates.
    During their games, Kyle took a moment to give his necklace to Coud. As he had made it himself, Coud found himself almost jealous of his friend's craftmanship-- yet couldn't manage it, instead finding himself only impressed and honored to be given the skull. The flower Coud had tucked behind Kyle's ear paled in comparison to this gift, but they both wore them proudly.
    Unknown to Coud, this was Kyle's final farewell. When they parted ways, the Earth Triber had no intention of ever seeing him again.
    A nightmare tore Coud from his slumber. The Breathing Caldera, the last place he had seen Kyle, called to him. Something was wrong.
    Coming across his friend in the midst of leaving was earth-shattering. Despite initial turmoil, the friends managed to curb what seemed to be an impending argument. Coud knew Kyle couldn't stay in the tribes; he wasn't happy. Their promise rang through his mind; that they would explore the world together. There was no doubt in his mind that tonight they would leave together.
    It could only have been Kyleto dissuade him, and he did. Nothing could shake Coud from the certainty that one day, he would leave the tribes and find his best friend. They would fulfill their vow. Kyle didn't try to talk him out of it; he wanted it just as much as Coud did.
    Until sunrise, they sat together; Coud struggling with his grief, and Kyle's heart warming at what he had thought he had lost; hope for the future.
    A formal farewell was no way for Coud to say goodbye to his friend. While Kyle's figure faded into the distance, he called one last time that they would see the world together.
    You promised!

    {Blue}
    The enthusiasm had drained from his body. His energetic behavior had faded. Every day, Coud thought of his friend, and how he'd lost him-- how he should have gone with him. Such a sudden loss, like nothing he'd ever felt before-- a hundred times worse than when they were sent to different tribes-- it broke his spirit. Despite all attempts at anyone to talk to him, he wouldn't explain why; he'd simply smile and say that it wasn't forever. He knew the impact would eventually lose its sting, and and that he'd be able to look forward to the future, when he'd see Kyle again.
    Yet for so long, all he could think about is how far away that day truly was.

    {Threshold}
    Facing such a loss made him more resolute; though he remained friendly, Coud became more dedicated to his ambitions. Soon he would be an adolescent, and he would be more than halfway to adulthood. How long could he stand to make Kyle wait? How long until he felt ready to depart and find his friend?
    Not now. When news came to Water Tribe of the caimans, Coud hid his presence and heard first-hand from the messenger of the scaled terrors. While Vitani told the tribe of the new foe, he listened with silence and gathered all he could know. Then, on the first chance he got, he departed for the Council of the Spirits. He had to find his sister.
