@incorrectcats opened my eyes to this picrew, which is wonderful for making ocs... so I whipped up human versions of my CATS ocs, Asteraw and Taruka!

I am always filled with love for them so if anyone wants to know more about them, please ask 🥺

[aggregatesarereallygreat]

Taruka: Okay, so I want you both to write what you think the other’s favorite ice cream flavor is. Let’s see how well you know each other. Razz: This is easy, they love strawberry. Taruka: Ty? Tyimo:....[the sign just says ‘ass’]

1, 8, 19, 32? For taruka? :3

1. What's their favorite food?

She doesn't put a lot of thought into her food, she mostly eats whatever her owner gives her since there isn't much else. But if she can get cheese, she absolutely will, since she doesn't get it often.

8. What are their good and bad traits?

She has a lot of each. But one good trait she has is she listens very well. She's quiet and sympathetic, and really pays attention when someone has a serious problem. Even if she's not very expressive, she's incredibly loving and it shows when someone needs help, or a shoulder to cry on.

That said, my girl is SO socially awkward, at least around other cats. She didn't know a single cat until she was solidly into adulthood, and she still operates on human social queues and standards. It takes some patience for other cats to get to know her, since at first she's just so goddamn weird.

19. What does their relationship with their family look like? Are they close? Distant? Ect.

The only family she really has is her owner Emily. They're very close, they're best friends and partners in their circus act, which requires an incredible amount of trust. Even though they can't communicate verbally, they've worked out each other's body language to a T, so they really do live together rather than just side by side. (Also unlike with other cats, Taruka is a VERY chatty cat around Emily. She wants to have conversations!)

32. Do they get stressed out easily?

No, she doesn't. She grew up in a bit of a stressful environment (a circus lmao) so things that stress out other cats, i.e. lots of people and lots of noise, just roll right off her. She's in general very calm and collected, the only thing that really stresses her out is if someone she loves is hurting and she can't help.

She can seem stressed in emotionally intimate situations sometimes, but she's just not very expressive so 99.9% of the time it's just frustration that looks very similar to stress.

5 & 30 for the oc asks

I answered 5 here!

30: which highschool movie stereotype would they fit best?

I feel like... I don't watch enough high school movies for this, but if I had to choose, I'd say she's like... a standoffish goth with hidden depth. I've seen like two of those so I'm counting it.

[therum-tum-misto]

Oc ask: 22. are they more socially awkward or socially confident?

She's quiet, but confident. She isn't very social, but if someone talks to her she knows what she's doing. Q

14, 19 and 24 for Taruka?

14: is your oc a good listener?

She's a VERY good listener. She's quiet but serious, and isn't in the habit of brushing anyone off. She gives good advice, too!

19: do they tend to panic in certain situations or are they more calm?

She's generally very calm, having grown up around noise and chaos. She also doesn't scare easily, since her job entails being tossed back and forth between trapezes...

She keeps her calm even when she probably shouldn't.

24: do they tend to see the good in people?

She tries. As long as they're nice and respectful to her, she'll do her best to see the best in them... but her good opinion once lost is lost forever.

2 and 5 for the OC ask game?

2: how easily does your oc make friends?

Not easily, through no fault of her own. She doesn't encounter many other cats, and is more attuned to human social cues... but she is friends with @rumplteazer 's oc Bimbo!

Overall she's quiet, but if you approach her she'll do her best to be friends

5: is your oc imaginative or more down-to-earth?

A bit of both. She doesn't get lost in her imagination, but when she needs it it comes through!
