Kaenneko was a little attention-seeker after Amba was born, having enjoyed being an only child for five years prior. However, amongst the seeking, she would happily go along with whatever her mothers came up with ... which included sending onesie pictures to her Aunts Ruby and Nora.
The next two RWBabies arrive! Kaenneko Belladonna and Ambalique Belldonna are siblings, being children of Blake and Yang Belladonna.
The Belldonna kittens will be open for questions for this point on, too.
(Bios are under the cut:)
Kaenneko Belladonna
Name Inspiration: ‘Kaen’ means flame in Japanese, ‘Neko’ means cat in Japanese
Nickname(s): ‘Kaen’ and ‘Neko’ by anyone, ‘Love’ by Lua, ‘Firestarter’ by Qrow
Iolite-isms: Furball, Brightburn
Languages: Valean, Menori
Gender: Female
Species: Cat Faunus
Aura Colour: Black
Schools and Team: Signal Academy (combat academy), Beacon Academy (Academy)/Past Member of Team KRLL (Korila)
Bestie Better Than The Restie: Ambalique Belladonna
Homeplace: Patch
Orientation: Bisexual Biromantic
Semblance: Sunlit, a semblance that gives Kaenneko the ability to produce clones made of fire. The clones are as versatile and agile as she is normally, and a byproduct of this power is Kaenneko herself being set alight completely, though she can control that to a specific part of her body if she so wishes. When she is producing the clones, however, she must remain completely immobile, leaving her open to attacks regardless of whether she is alight or not.
Weapon: Ignite and Goodnight, a pair of gun gauntlets with a flat surface and two barrels underneath the cover of each said surface. One of the barrels can pour or spray gasoline, and the other is able to shoot out fire Dust in outbursts of flame. The two flat covers can also be bound together to form a shield.

Trivia:
Kaenneko could never decide on a combat style, having the choice between Yang’s, Blake’s, Ruby and Qrow’s, and anyone else in her family. This resulted in her becoming a jack-of-all-trades with a weapon that benefits her Semblance if nothing else.
She first discovered her Semblance one morning while she being babysat by her first cousin once removed Alutori, having thrown a tempter tantrum before bursting into flames and producing two more Kaennekos. Alutori still has a burn mark from the experience and though Kaenneko doesn’t remember it, she still feels immensely guilty for hurting her.
Upper-body wise, she is the strongest and bulkiest of all the kids.
She has unintentionally attracted many, many crushes from people of all genders. Atsuibane held a penchant for her once, and as did Kai-La, though both got over those crushes a while ago.
Kaenneko was extremely loved at Beacon and has been the school sweetheart since Signal. She makes friends superbly easily, especially with her old teammates, and is commonly known as either the Mom Friend or the Uncle Friend, sometimes being the responsible one in a sea of children (including her brother) and sometimes piloting the adventure by cheering people on in their endeavours.
Amba, her baby brother, is one of the most important people in Remnant to her. Aiding him is something she will do in a heartbeat, though he finds this annoying to an extent.
Her favourite food, hands down, will always be slow-cooker ratatouille, the first and only dish she knows how to make by heart.
Kaenneko has known Bardleby since she almost broke onto a train that goes through Emerald Forest with Kai-La, but only when she goes to Beacon does she actually get to know the guy. He is the one who bails her out of her own recklessness at times because he’s had more practice than anyone, having grown up alongside Alutori for the most part of his school years.
She has dated all of her past teammates, two of which were during their Beacon years while she started dating her current girlfriend, Lua Dourada, after graduating.
If she is particularly happy or overjoyed, her eyes will turn lilac and glow.
Ambalique Belladonna
Name Inspiration: Amber or Ember
Nickname(s): ‘Amba’ by everyone, ‘Amy’, ‘Boba’ and ‘Baby Cat’ by Yang, ‘Hairball’ by Kaenneko, ‘Star’ by Blake, ‘Firepopper’ by Qrow
Iolie-isms: Crackle, Firecracker, Night Light, Softie, Pitter Patter
Languages: Valean, Menori
Gender: Bigender
Species: Cat Faunus
Aura Colour: Purple
Schools and Team: Signal Academy (combat school), Beacon Academy (Academy)/Member of Team CASP (Casper)
Bestie Better Than The Restie: Kaenneko Belladonna
Homeplace: Patch
Orientation: Heterosexual Heteromantic
Semblance: Xiao Long, a semblance that allows Amba to create a flaming dragon from his Aura. The dragon varies in size but if the first dragon is small enough, he can create more copies of it, though this ability doesn’t work the larger the dragon gets. Regardless, his semblance lasts for a longer duration than most. Amba has the temperment of Yang in that he depends on it too much in a fight, but his perfect offense presents a decent defense.
Weapon: Deadly Nightshade, a durable ribbon that is held around his waist very tightly like a corset. It can wind around people and is strong enough for him to pull targets toward himself, swing them into a wall or whack them into the ground for long enough that he can activate his semblance.

Trivia:
Amba grew up wanting to fight without necessarily making contact or getting blood on his hands (ew). Both of his mothers taught him the more delicate parts of their combat styles while he also borrowed from some comic books.
He’s not a cuddler by any means, but he hates the bitter cold enough to huddle for warmth.
Getting on his bad side is the easiest thing in the world with his bad temper, especially by grabbing or rubbing his tail.
Amba has the “do what I want” attitude Yang displays and is never willing to just sit around and wait for what he can do himself. This channels itself in many ways, one of which was shaving the sides of his hair when turning 14.
He looks up to almost everyone in his extended family, being the second youngest out of all of them, but his biggest idol is Lua Dourada, Kaenneko’s current girlfriend and remaining teammate. Whenever she visited in her Beacon years, Lua would braid his hair, teach him cheat codes in video games, and taught him some more elegant moves to incoporate into his combat style.
Rooke visits him every so often, particularly on his birthdays, and has invited him to visit the Brawen tribe in Anima. He hasn’t yet, but who knows? He might someday.
Amba holds a bit of a penchant for Iolite since she, Candy, and Kai-La tip up at some point during the events of the main story. After an incident that involved them holding hands in the midst of combat without activating Iolite’s Espionage, she starts to get a little closer to him and he returns the favours. Maybe there’s a little something there ...?
He loves salmon burgers and can cook them really well, but he isn’t much of a cook past that. Or, at least he isn’t until he begins to pick things up while Iolite uses little dragons of his Semblance to cook on the road.
Nothing is comfier to him than baggy or draped clothes.
Only people he is super close to or comfortable around -- like anyone in his extended family or the Adels and Rens -- use she/her and he/him pronouns for him. Otherwise he more commonly uses he/him.
