[attr="class","flowerbg"]Eye of Curious Blackbird
SKYTELLER
SKYTELLER
[attr="class","charactertext"]
Blackbird never learned to hunt or fight. As strange as that may seem to the average feline, her path took her directly from her mother’s belly to the Skyteller’s side, with no room in the middle for ancillary training. As a youngster, she dabbled in pouncing and crouching and swatting - all the usual things that kits like to do - but her mind was cultivated far more than her body. It shows in the delicate, almost kitten-like softness that persists even though she is full grown.
Her body is slender, her fur sleek and well-groomed. Like spilled ink, the short black coat seems to never stir except in extremely strong wind, and it’s always most noticeable at her chest where the fur is a mouselength longer than anyplace else. That splash of white across black, much like the wing of the bird for which she was named, is no less ordinary than any other black cat with a white patch. But Blackbird likes to think it makes her unique. Marks her in some way.
White whiskered, black tailed, and with the ordinary number of toes on each foot. What she lacks in physical remarkability, she makes up for in keen yellow eyes that bely a sharp and ready mind, personality bursting behind the irises like water through a rocky dam.
▸ WORKAHOLIC, DETACHED
Though lacking the strength of a Cave-Guard and the endurance of a Prey-Hunter, Blackbird's body seemed to hold so much energy. She is a font of can-do attitude, fueled by her devotion and her deep love for the Tribe. However, despite being the Tribe's main healer, Blackbird is a poor judge of her own condition, and it isn't until someone pulls her aside, tells her to slow down that she actually realizes she's pushed herself too far.
The mindset of "I will rest when it's over" can be a dangerous one, for a person whose strength of will is oftentimes stronger than pain of body.
It does not help that growing up somewhat removed from everyday Tribe life taught her to become comfortable with her own thoughts for company. She can chase an idea down the rabbit holes of her mind, foregoing social interactions that provide valuable insights and perspectives to see the culmination of that initial thought.
Living in a separate den space from the communal sleeping area only further creates a sense of detachment or distance. Blackbird puts in the effort to overcome this by sharing her meals with her Tribemates, but it's not uncommon for her to get distracted, and forget the promise she made to maintain a presence amongst her peers.
▸ REVERENT, PASSIONATE
It goes without saying that Blackbird's spirituality is an extremely important part of her life. It is her reason for living, and has defined her day-to-day for the last twenty-something moons. What could easily have become tedious to another in her place, is a source of joy and purpose. Dreaming with the Ancestors, interpreting signs in the reflected pools, her connection to those that came before has never been stronger. With her identity so caught up in her role as Tribe leader (to the radical point of no longer going by the name her parents gave her), it's hard to say who she would have been without it. A Prey-Hunter, no doubt, but who? Unfortunately, there's no way to find out who Eye of Curious Blackbird would be; that name has already begun to winter, turning brown and forgotten as she blooms anew, as Teller of the Reflected Sky.
She favors the religious elements over the practical, but her ability to heal has not suffered as a result. With only one thing to focus her time on, Blackbird never lacked opportunities for practical application. Her bedside manner is competent, perhaps a little better than her predecessor's, even if she isn't the most informative about what she's doing and for what reasons. Still, her kindness and her steady paws make for a good combination.
▸ NAIVE, OVERCONFIDENT
For all her good intentions and unbridled passions, there is no getting around Blackbird's inexperience. She had the fortune of seeing Skyteller navigate chaos and disaster, both on an intimate scale and valley-wide. She is under no assumptions that what he did was *easy*, but she believes in the power of the Ancestors so strongly, that they will be the safety net she needs to get her Tribe through anything. With so many generations backing her, how could she possibly fail? But life has a way of humbling even the most benighted arrogance, and the lessons this young she-cat is destined to learn will pulverize that naivety to dust.

How strange it is, to behold the one who will one day take up your identity. No, they will not replicate the ties you have to your family and your friends, but they will sleep where you once slept, walk where you once walked, and answer to the name that once made your head turn. Such is the cycle of Skyteller and their To-Be. When he first gazed upon the kitten, newly of-age, the inevitability stared back, eager and unblinking.
And so like a river to a branching stream, he fed her all the knowledge that had once been fed to him. Blackbird was a passionate student, filled with an enviable sense of purpose for one so young. Tribe structure did not allow much room for doubt in one's role, but Blackbird possessed a sureness that was almost uncanny. She peppered him with questions and soaked in the answers, taking his word as gospel - though he encouraged her to *think* about the things he was telling her, not simply memorize them.
Blackbird's young life spent getting groomed to be the spiritual leader of the Tribe was so different from that of her same-age peers. Even when she made the effort to share a meal with them instead of the Skyteller, the atmosphere was one of awkwardness that was difficult to overcome. She was special, she was important, and there was nothing to be done about it. While her peers could aspire to become lead Cave-Guard or lead Prey-Hunter, Blackbird walked away from conversations knowing that her place in the stars had already been written. She simply had to wait. To learn. To grow.
It was a strange upbringing, but Blackbird cherished every moment of it. She seldom felt any ruefulness over her unique path, the only occasion for melancholy being the...distance created between her and her older sister, Blush. They had been close, once. But that closeness was hard to maintain even for ordinary sisters with very different personalities, let alone ones who do not spend much time in each other's worlds at all. Blackbird would never be a Prey-Hunter.
Blush would never be Skyteller.
