Multiples of 7 for Kairoh :0

7. What element would your character be?

fire, for sure. but not the raging wildfire type. she’s more like a flamethrower; her violence is concentrated, precise, and intentional. most importantly, she can switch her expression of rage on and off at a moment’s notice. this is more of a trauma response than anything, but she does weaponize it when she feels so inclined.

14. What foods does your OC like to eat? What are their least favorite foods?

kairoh likes beef! as a north american sabercat, her lineage is thought to be bison hunters, so she likes any meat that came from something with hooves. she also loves coffee, but usually takes it with hazelnut creamer :3 cats cant taste sweet, so she actually doesnt like sugary food like fruit or candy or pastries (SAD!)

21. What kind of personal problems do they have? Pet peeves?

honestly i could write a book. kairoh comes from a very ancient and very influential family in her area, and this background combined with the added pressure of having to negotiate with and interact with the ever growing human population, means that kairoh was expected to be very mature and presentable from a very young age. even as a little kid, she was discouraged from expressing herself or showing intense emotions, especially negative ones. she and her sisters were punished for crying or throwing fits, even when they were toddlers and fits were a normal part of that life stage. as a result, kairoh is heavily emotionally repressed, and struggles to connect with people. not only does she not express herself, seeing others express strong feeling is alarming to her and she tends to flee from these situations, which gives her a reputation as heartless and unsupportive. she also experiences moments where her repressed and stuffed frustrations explode out. she was also parentified a lot as the oldest sibling, so she shoulders a lot of responsibility and guilt that isn’t really her own, but that’s a whole other can of worms. i won’t dive much deeper into that, because her emotional repression is definitely the big one, but kairoh does feel like everyone’s wellbeing is her responsibility which results in her generally being very stressed and under a lot of pressure most of the time.

28. What kinds of nervous habits does your OC have? Do they stim? Do they have any kinds of addictions?

kairoh carries one of those spoke hairbrushes everywhere and is constantly brushing her fur, mostly her mane. if she doesnt keep slicking it back or brushing it down, it will fluff up naturally and make her look both more intimidating and more masculine. the latter she isn’t necessarily against, but her family hates that she even lets her mane grow so she tries to keep it low-profile to avoid fights (her parents used to pressure her to clipper it down to look more feminine.) kairoh drinks… probably too much. definitely too much. she’s sober during work hours but every night like clockwork she sits alone on the couch and drinks herself into a blackout in order to fall asleep. nobody knows this and thus she thinks it’s fine and normal👍

35. How is your character’s imagination?

kairoh can be pretty creative, but most of her time is consumed by stress and worrying about. well. everything. she seems incredibly collected but 99.9% of the time she’s spiraling into worst case scenario thoughts.

42. Does your OC have any scars? How did they get them?

a few from her time as a fighter. she tussled a lot with other big cats and inevitably claws became involved. nothing particularly serious, though.

49. Does your character like candy?

nope! tragically, she lacks the taste receptors for sweetness and thus her favorite foods are either meat/animal based, or bread. cats fucking LOVE yeast

@reptired stop being funnier than me challenge

[machairocat]

btw kairoh gets mistaken for an american lion allll the time because 1) machairodus genus cats have long tails like panthera cats and 2) you can’t see her sabers when her mouth is closed. so if you don’t know what youre looking for in the skull/limb/lumbar anatomy you’d think she was a panthera genus cat. this upsets her very very much. not only is she a sabercat, not a panther, she’s from one of the most ancient and well-established sabercat lineages of all time god damn you
