Description
Here is the very first litter of Sprout/Broto with her mate, Gorse/Tojo.
Characters left to right: Baobab/Baobá, Mahogany/Mogno and Sparrow/Pardal.
Baobab is a very balanced but rude and ambitious cat, he always dreams of having or being more, and will do everything in his power to succeed, he doesn't seem to care much about anyone. He is often seen with his brother Mahogany.
Mahogany is almost a clone of Baobab, only 3 times worse and more extreme, he is also aloof, stoic and fierce. He is not afraid to show his true thoughts or feelings about others. He also respects his mother very much, but not much his father. The only cat he seems to really like is his older twin, Baobab.
Sparrow is an Obedient, Passive, Anxious and Fearful cat. He loves his job and his family, and the thought of being the reason his family is broken upsets him every day.
Texts may contain some grammatical errors.
Both Baobab and Mahogany are fierce and strong soldiers, while Sparrow is a passive healer, the three grow up listening to stories from their great-grandfather about the war and how he himself was a great soldier, and that fighting in war is the best and only way to show true steadfastness and loyalty to your nation.
The two oldest being edge already, listened and lived up to expectations, training throughout their adolescence to become the greatest soldiers they could be, while on the other hand, Sparrow, the youngest; feared every word that came from his grandfather and hated spending time with him, over the years he distanced himself from him and when it came time to study, he spent his entire adolescence exploring every profession he could.
Because of this, the brothers had many discussions among themselves about their life plans, with the two oldest arguing that if Sparrow didn't make the right choice he wouldn't have a life of value.
After five years of study, Sparrow chose to become a healer, so his mandatory service was reduced to just 3 months which infuriated his twins who, when the time came for them to serve completely disregarded their brother - not to the point of let him die in the war but to the point of leaving him injured on the battlefield after saving his life from a giant spear and returning to battle shortly afterwards.
This incident caused a breakdown in the family and when the upper echelons of the army heard, even though Sparrow himself begged for his brothers to be forgiven, both Baobab and Mahogany were severely punished for leaving an injured partner behind.
After the punishment, Baobab completely stopped talking or interacting with his younger brother, although he recognizes his mistake, he still doesn't feel bad about what he did to Sparrow.
As for Mahogany, his disgust for him has turned into aversion, he can't see his brother without feeling a bad taste in his mouth, but he's no longer aggressive, just rude.
Sparrow is obviously hurt by all of this, he has become very depressed and distant over the years.
