The skies above are cloudy, a drizzle of rain had fallen over the forest floor, obscuring your vision as you trudged along. As you pass by a tree, above your head, you note what could very well be a bird’s nest.
There, nestled safely within a bed of sticks, mud, and spider silk, you’d be able to spot three small, pristine eggs. One, with a sprig of lavender threaded among the sticks just behind it. The second one, with a sparrow’s feather resting beside it. The third, tucked safely between them–a family soon to be made and treasured.
Hello there! Welcome to the long-awaited wet bird Sprizzle baby finder! For those of you who are unaware of who that pertains to, these will be the kits of Drizzlecloud and Sparrowpelt of Thunderclan. This was a long time coming and Sus and I have been dancing around the idea for a while now, so here it finally is! Do be aware: only one kitten will be chosen from this finder, as Sus and I have handpicked two other members who have expressed interest in these kittens for a long while, and so we have given them a baby. The last baby is up for grabs!
The deadline for this finder is September 15th!
Important Note:
This third baby will be named after Drizzlecloud’s apprentice, and Thunderclan’s previous Medicine Cat, Springlight. This kitten should have the prefix Spring or Light, that is all we ask. The rest is entirely up to you!
Other than that, craft up some lovely ideas for the little stinker. Be creative, as there is no set form. PS: Please don't mention us! We'll be keeping our eyes on this thread, so there will be no need.
Since both parents are tabby cats, these kits should... Probably be tabbies? I'm no genetic genius, but take that as you will. For reference, here are some images of both parents!

Oh dear...okay here we go!
Lightkit -> Lightspeckle/echo/heart
female
Lightkit will grow up to be a lean, agile hunter. Her pelt is primarily a light brown, with a light neck, deeper brown "saddle", and pale spotted tabby markings. She has a white chin, various brown shades on her tail, black front paws, and black hind toes. She has a pretty little face with her mother's sparkling bright green eyes, a small darker brown blaze above her light gray nose, and eye dots the same shade brown.
Lightkit will be the type of cat who starts out a little more on the shy side. By the time she matures into a warrior, she will have gained self-confidence and assurance. However, as a kit she will be clumsy and unsure of herself. As an apprentice, she will struggle to grow into her own and navigate how to make friends. She will have a touch of social anxiety, but eventually find the innate desire to will herself to continue to improve, one pawstep at a time.
She will develop an optimistic, hopeful, and upbeat outlook on life. Growing from a wallflower to fulfill her namesake as a bright light in the forest. She's not perfect though, and she does worry about slipping and returning to how she was as a kit - timid and unsure. She doesn't want to lose the confidence and friends she worked so hard for!
She will be naturally curious. This curiosity will more than likely get her into some trouble, which will create an almost crippling anxiety at making a mistake when she starts to learn as an apprentice. Eventually, this fear will be less crippling, but still present. This may cause her to hesitate before launching a catch or a strike in battle. She may not totally lose the instinct to pause and think, but she will eventually gain control over it as she ages and matures as a warrior and gains experiences.
She is going to love both of her parents, and while she may find her father to be a little overwhelming at times she will grow to rely on his sociability and his experience as an over-thinker to help her come to terms with her own anxieties. She will also be very close to her mother, and rely on her wisdom and kindness when things are especially hard.

You found a fallen star, would you like to make a wish?

I introduce to you.. Lightkit!

The fallen star..
"I loved you like the sun."
A round, chubby little thing. Bright, golden eyes. A blue-grey torbie with dilute orange markings on different parts of her body. Her fur is always crazy and quite fluffy. Tufted ears around medium-large size. Pretty huge, but that's just more to love! This little goober has a long tail. Used for cuddling as many cats as possible! Her fur is somewhat curly.
A defect includes her having joint laxity / hypermobility. This won't be prominent until about 6 moons, mostly in her front legs. Her gait will be a little different but nothing will be affected. As long as her muscles are built up well, she will be fine.
A warm, bubbly kit. Extremely clumsy as well, often ending up with scrapes or bruises that she won't even remember how she got.
A fast learner, often remembering what is shown rather than told. This little kit can easily memorize things after being shown how to do it. However this comes at a price. She can memorize information about things she prefers and likes rather than things she doesn't. She is more likely to forget things she isn't interested in. That doesn't mean she won't remember, just it may take a little longer to teach her how to do something.
However with her bubbly self raises the question. Is she loud? What's she like there? She is selectively mute, choosing only really to speak to her kin. She is quite shy and anxious to be around other cats. She freezes up and just sits there, panicking internally. Sure she can force herself to speak to them, but its exhausting.
A extremely jealous kitten who is protective of both her parents. If she sees strangers talking to them, she puffs up. Soft, quiet hisses will escape her maw. She may try to look scary, but at the moment she just looks like a goober.
She is also extremely oblivious to things she does. She often has to be told if she is going too far or being too mean. Even if she doesn't understand she is being mean, she will most likely be. She pushes into boundaries unknowingly. She will realize how mean she truly is in her apprenticeship.
Extremely dependent. She often relies on others to do things for her and she isn't quick to make decisions. This leads her to often get upset or overwhelmed if she has to make a decision, as she is unable to.
As for interactions go with her family. I was hoping they could give her some gifts, which will lead her to collect similar items! She'd give those items to her loved ones as items of endearment.
When older, she could also comfort her family on times where its hard, speaking sweetly and softly. She may not know entirely what would be happening, but she'd try her best.
Maybe some interaction later where she starts questioning her gender, going from female to nonbinary.
Definitely would like some interaction maybe from her Mama to notice her legs are funny in her apprenticeship. THIS WILL NOT be painful for her. Just a funny gait that'd develop as well as hyperextension primarily in her front legs.
