This week's "traditional Doodles" dump!!!

Again, this time is also very OC heavy. Well, it all OCs. But I ain't complaining.

Second cousins by chance, best friends by choice

More Ocs and they won't be the last.

They're both Emichy and Nileeno's future kittens, so they aren't in the same timeline as the rest of my OCS.

Kydra is the oldest son. He's still a young teenager but he inherited the height of both of his parents. He's very down to earth and independent, to a point that he might seem self-centred. That couldn't be further from the truth, he's actually quite respectful and polite.

Palinelle is a young kitten who was born a couple of years after Minashti passed away. This is relevant because she's the reincarnation of part of her soul. In this case, she happened to have her softest part. She's extremely shy and cowardly, and she needs constant affection to feel safe. Nonetheless, she always returns this affection back and she forgives cats often. She still has to grow into her personality, so in the future she would be more mature and soft-spoken.

Sunavia and Emichy

For the first years of her life, Sunavia knew nothing but shame and fear.

Yes, she had the support of her numerous close relatives, who were also magical. But outside of the comfort of her home, all she knew was parents forbidding other kittens from playing with her, side eyes and cats whispering how she could lose control of her powers. Again.

It wasn't her fault, her parents say. She was only a kitten enjoying the beauty of magic. Her smile was bright as the light she conjured around her. Small fires, who once made her feel warm, was the reason everything changed. It wasn't her intention that her brother was there, nor that he got in the way when it got out of hand.

Growing up and engaging with the Jellicle Tribe helped her to slowly accept what happened. And most importantly, accept herself. Now as a grown adult, with control over her powers, she was ready to live life.

Needless to say getting pregnant was great news for her. Since all of the family was magical, she couldn't help but imagine what kind of powers would her child have: Would they be phychic, like their cousins Tantomile and Coricopat? Maybe a special connection with the Heavyside Layer? Would it spark or would it be silent? Whatever happened, she was set in accepting them.

Emichy was finally born and Sunavia felt a happiness she couldn't even recognize. Nonetheless, her overly hopeful and active spirit would lead her to set expectations way to high for Emichy and to not pay real attention to them.

Years passed, and Emichy hadn't shown signs of being magical. It's alright, many of Sunavia's siblings were late bloomers as well. Childhood passed, and still nothing.

Sunavia went to Old Deuteronomy the year before Emichy's first ball. "Could it be that they aren't magical? I don't mind, but they would be the first generation to not have magic and that has never happened and it doesn't make sens-" she would ask, confused, to which Old Deuteronomy would respond "Every Jellicle cat has a bit of magic in them. A magic that ties them to the Jellicle Moon and the Heavyside Layer. And don't worry, not having visible magic is completely normal. Neither you or Emichy did anything wrong. Just wait until the next Jellicle ball"

And the Jellicle ball came. Cats danced to celebrate old and new lives. All of them could feel the flow of the Jellicle's Moon magic through them. A magic that connected them and helped them dance in harmony and synchronisation. Sunavia felt it too. But a quick glance at her child revealed something, Emichy didn't. Stuck to the floor and hidden in the shadows, they looked guilty of not feeling it.

A truth was learnt that night. Emichy was born without a single trace of magic in their blood.

Sunavia tried to get closer to her child, to demonstrate that didn't matter to her. But Emichy, so guilty and ashamed, was growing further away. Feeling unhappy with who they were, which was a feeling Sunavia knew too well.

It took a while for the sun to come out in their lives, but the storm was finally over after years of back and forth between them. Everything was okay now, Emichy was with Nileeno and Sunavia was happy to see them happy.

Life continued and the couple had two kittens, Kydra and Palinelle. The latter took everyone by surprise, for when she was borned, Nileeno's first words were "She has Minashti's eyes..." It didn't make sense, for Nileeno's late mother's eyes were blue, the contrary to Palinelle's yellow eyes. But he kept saying, she was there.

Kydra was still young when he first manifested the power to detect danger, and Palinelle , reincarnation of Minashti, was even younger when she showed the ability to know things that happened in the past, before many of the other cats were born.

Emichy doesn't know the reason why she's the only one without magic. But they're perfectly fine with it now. They love magic, even when they have to see it flowing in others.
