You don't gain a single thing from misery
Take it from me
Take it from me

General Description: Milkweed is a self conscious little tom. He has issues with self image and his low self worth is so palpable it could be cut with butter. But he doesn't mope, he doesn't cry. He puts up with a hollow look in his eyes and a smile on his face and projects all of the positivity that he himself doesnt feel out onto other cats. He wants to make others happy even if he doesn't feel like he can be. He's shy but once you get him out of his shell he's one of the most loving cats you can meet. He's always ready to help and easy to approach.
His one passion is his appearance. As well as his biggest gripe. He hates how he looks, thinks he looks too much like the father he never got to meet. That was how his mother always looked at him and he doesn't want that shadow looming over him. He cuts and bites out his own fur to make it shorter. Sometimes a small bit, sometimes a lot. He also frequently rolls in flowers to make himself smell nice and always walks with poise. He wants to be more graceful and beautiful than he's ever thought himself to be. He thinks that that's how he'll finally find his self worth.

HISTORY
Milkweed was born to a Patrian queen named Primrose shortly after the death of her mate, Oak Branch. He bore a striking resemblance to his father, something that made his mother oddly distant from him. Perhaps he reminded her too much of his father and the memories hurt her. Perhaps she wasn't prepared to be a mother on her own. Either way, Milkweed's kithood was a lonely one. He didn't have many friends due to how timid he was, and he constantly doubted himself and whether he was even good enough to deserve the affection he so craved.
When he began training lead by his detached mother, things didn't change much. Until he was 8 months old. That was when he met Moss.
Moss joined the colony at the age of 9 months old. His mother, perhaps eager for a second chance, took him in. She showered Moss with all of the love and affection that Milkweed had never known. But Milkweed didn't resent Moss for it. In fact, it made him love his new adopted brother more. He had to be good if his mother loved him so much. And it turned out that he was. Moss and Milkweed made fast friends- Milkweed's very first. This new bond brought Milkweed slightly out of his shell.
The life that Milkweed lead from that point on was better than his kithood. He gained another friend in the form of Raccoon, the tom who had brought Moss into the colony. He himself had been adopted, and slowly Milkweed grew to know Raccoon's family.
His circle of friends expands day by day, one inch at a time. He still doesn't have the best self image or view of the world, but he really does try. He works hard to make other cats happy- even ones he doesn't know. They deserve it in his eyes. Very empathetic and loving, Milkweed doesn't want anyone else to feel the way he has all his life. Imperfect. Broken. Alone. He strives to bring light to Patria and help others in every way he can.
