    Infinitykit (will post a new one each ceremony)

    Infinitykit is a deep black kit with shocking purple eyes. She is shy and wary, not wanting to trust the cats around her, but she is very kind and loyal. She is four moons old and already knows how to hunt and survive, but she is lonely. Her biggest dream is to become a leaper and gain the name InfinitStar, but she knows it will never happen. A moon after she was born, her family was killed by a fire. She and her sister escaped and her sister taught the kit how to survive before dying by a falling tree.
