TBS :: Nova

 ➤ - // Hot-Headed // "Shut the hell up! I don't care what you have to say!"
    When Nova gets upset he isn't afraid to express it with his words, he'll snap at other cats quite easily, especially if they make fun of him in any way, and he'll also raise his voice even when  the situation might not call for it. He'll hold onto arguments and refuse to back down, always needing to get the last word, stuck on winning even if it's futile or he grows to agree with the other cat's opinion. He doesn't lash out phsycially though, although it is common to see him with his claws unsheathed when he is aggitated. 

➤ - // Profain // "You're a fucking asshole."
    He might be young, but Nova has already picked up some... tasteful... language from overhearing other cats use bad words. When he is angry he can speak in a very profain way, throwing swear words around as though they mean nothing, and sometimes he even will let them slip nto normal conversation when he's not upset at all. However, the most common time to hear a naughty word leave this tom's mouth is when he stumbles and falls (which happens fairly often).

➤ - // Insecure // "...No, I'm not good enough."
    Because he has trouble walking like a normal cat it's been engraved in Nova's mind that he simply is not up to the standards of others; he can't do what others do so easily physically and he looks like a clown walking around with his legs spread far apart for balance. He knows that other cats must find it amusing when he falls over and so he is very insecure about being in public places around a lot of cats; even just being in the East Region camp puts him on edge...

➤ - // Unmotivated // "I don't feel like playing with you today, Stupa."
    Nova was not really sure what profession he wanted to pursue when he reached rookiehood, but tamer seemed like the most logical choice because his clumbsiness would not get in the way too much if he was just working with critters... even though it seems like the right fit for him he's not overly passionate about animals and therefore does not put in as much effort as other cats might. He often times also lives with the mentality of "why try when you know you're going to fail?" and so he rarely tries new things unless he is pushed to do so.

➤ + // Intelligent // "Hmm... Yeah I guess if I used my spell that way I could maybe make animals more comfortable with me..."
    Even if his lack of kind words makes him seem to lack the same intellect as other cats, Nova is a rather smart rookie; when he does have to put his mindd to something he does it well and he works out a way that he can do things as easily as possible. He trained himself to look at problems with teh goal of getting through them wasting as little time as possible, and embaressing himself as litle as possible, so he thinks things through beforehand which often leads to unique and creative solutions.

➤ o // Timid // ".... I-.. ahh...oh no..."
    When faced with physical danger Nova is not the type to fight back. Even though he can be hot-headed in arguments he knows that he lacks the physical skills to defend himself in combat and so he does not even try and instead will run and hide before anyone has a change to hurt him. He gets scared easily and can also be a little bit jumpy at times, but his timid nature also helps to keep him from winding up in situations where he could get hurt.

➤ o // Submissive // "... Fine. I'll do it..."
    Nova might argue and put up a fuss, but if a cat who is a highter rank than him, or more experienced with him tells him to do something, usually he'll do it, unless it's really something that will make him embaressed, in which case he'll fight back a little more. But he is terrified of getting into trouble and so he usually does what he's told... He also acts submissivly when he's around a tom that he is attracted to, prefering to be be protected by another cat than be the one doing the protecting. This may seem to counter his hot-headed trait, but in truth his arguing skills are something that he taught himself to cope with cats pestering him, and deep down inside he would rather have another cat do the arguing for him.

➤ + // Affectionate // "Can we cuddle a little?"
    Nova loves physical affection, it's teh perfect way to show another cat who you feel about them, and so he can often be seen cuddling with his mother, father, or siblings. He always stuck close to his mother's side as a kit, so his cuddliness may have been born of habit, but now it is a very important part of his life and he always looks forward to leaning into another cat's soft fur when he needs a little comforting!

➤ + // Lovable // "My family is the most important thing to me... got it, stupid?"
    Even when he's angry it's clear that this little tom has kindness in his heart, and it makes him lovable! The way that he stumbles around gives him a kit-like apperance, and his constant cuddling with his family also shows how much of a little sweetheart he is, and so when cats are paying attention and seeing past his pouty faces and swear words he can be quite lovable!

➤ + // Lawful // "...No... We can't go into the South Region's territory, I don't want to get into trouble!"
    Nova hates being scolded, and so he's scared of breaking rules, even the littlest of them! He won't tresspass on other territories unless he is given permission by someone older than him, and he will also refuse to do anything that someone asks of him that he thinks is immoral (unless they threaten him phsycially, in which case he can't fight back and will listen). Often enough his most angry arguments come from talking to cats about not breaking the rules!
