N A M E & M E A N I N GNightingale
{Nigh-tin-gail}
MEANING: The common nightingale or simply nightingale, also known as rufous nightingale, is a small passerine bird best known for its powerful and beautiful song. Soon after the Norman Conquest of England in 1066, the name Nightingale was recognized on the island as a name for a person with a good singing voice. The name is a metaphor likening the original bearer of the name to the nocturnal songbird called a nightingale. Its name is derived from the Old English words niht, meaning night, and galan, meaning to sing.

PERSONALITY
Will add/change as he matures
{ Competitive } - { Inconsiderate } - { Playful } - { Adventurous } - { Imaginative }
Competitive
"Bet you can't swim as fast as I can!!"
Night isn't the kind of baby to let little things go! He wants to take up challenges and prove he's the best, but he's not really the kind to do big dangerous stupid stuff like climbing a big giant tree if he's not super skilled in climbing. Night takes challenges and competitions he knows he has some chance at winning, thoroughly enjoying the blast he gets out of doing it! He's a big fan of run and chase games, hide and seek, and Boys vs Girls.
Inconsiderate
"WAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!! I wanna go HOME!”
He can be a rather loud and obnoxious boy when he's really just not feeling the whole 'nice' thing. He's not a really considerate boy and will be loud even when others are sleeping, as well as ask questions to others when clearly it's not the right time to be doing so. He doesn't care if its your birthday, he doesn't wanna hang out with you and he's hungry, that's the kind of kid he is. He's that annoying brat who complains loudly when no one is paying him mind. He's not always like this, this is mainly when he's hangry. Most of the time he's sweet.
Playful
"C'mon!! I wanna play, let's go play hide and seek!"
Night is a very playful child, this pairs with his competitive streak as well, however he's totally fine not playing any games and just having a good old fashioned time with friends and family. He enjoys getting out of camp with his parents and exploring a bit with them, as well as eating out of camp and goofing around his his friends. One of his favorite past times is playing pranks on his friends and getting pranks pulled on him in return!
Adventurous
"Oooo, you see this waterfall? Let's go see what we can find!!!"
He simply adores exploring, must mainly enjoys doing it when in the company of friends and family! He really loves to socialize and enjoys being around people a lot, even if when he throws a tantrum no one wants to be around him. He really enjoys seeing new sights, eating new things, and generally just trying new things. Night enjoys company on his adventures, and often likes to retell the stories of these adventures to others.
Imaginative
"Mmm.... I don't wanna sleep momma, there's a spooky monster that keeps clawing at me..."
Night, much like any other kid, often thinks of scary things, and is easily gullible into believing them. He thinks of scary dark figures out to come get him in the middle of the night, leaving the cub snuggled up really tightly to his mother's belly, afraid of being alone and left to whatever his imagination brings him. You can sometimes see him talking to himself, as he has an imaginary friend, no one knows what this imaginary friend looks like, but at least it keeps Night happy when he's in a fowl mood when left alone.
H I S T O R Y In an unexpected turn of events, Nightingale, along with his three other siblings, were born to a rather unexpected couple! After a bit of fun between the two young felines, Frankie discovered she was pregnant, and Frankie, and her lover Philip, decided to raise the litter together, not yet knowing that their unexpected litter would bring them closer as a couple, rather than a fling. Nightingale was among the smallest of the litter, but even with his small runt size, he was still quite the headstrong one of the bunch. You could easily hear his cries for his mother's milk from outside of the nursery, which is why his mother decided to name him Nightingale, after the bird with a sweet singing voice. While he was a really loud cub, he quickly made himself a couple of close friends in Heitiare, Fritjof, and Bolt.
Fritjof was more than willing to eat up the attention brought to him by Nightingale, the two feeding off of each other's energies well enough in their young friendship. Nightingale probably grew the closest to Bolt in his childhood, the two hanging out practically nearly every single day. Unbeknownst to him, Bolt had grown a bit of a crush on him, and while Nightingale did have some sort of feelings for Bolt, he hadn't quite figured out what they truly were. Bolt had confessed their feelings to Nightingale one day, and he did confess that he wasn't sure what his feelings were for Bolt, and asked Bolt to wait for him to figure them out. Bolt seemed to handle it well enough, but behind the scenes they really weren't taking it well, coming to the conclusion Nightingale didn't feel the same for them, and later on in that day ran away from their siblings because of how overwhelmed they were by their emotions. And while out, sorting their emotions, they'd been knocked out by a stick, and fell into a puddle of water, drowning and passing away.
Later, Bolt's body was found, and the news was shared to the empire what had happened to Bolt, and Nightingale felt his heart break. This was his best friend, and they'd passed away, the same day they'd confessed their feelings to him. It was hard for the young cub to not blame himself for Bolt's death. Following a talk with Yickah, Bolt's mother, he felt a bit better about the situation, and soon found himself becoming friends with Heitiare, Fritjof's brother. He grew close to the dark hybrid, Heitiare becoming his new best friend and helping him through Bolt's death.
Upon becoming an apprentice, his parents decided to leave Ice Empire behind, and Nightingale followed after them, Heitiare deciding to follow after him. During this time, the two males grew even closer, and ended up becoming boyfriends. Following this new relationship status, Nightingale's parents had another litter of cubs, and he eagerly welcomed in the new wave of siblings into his life. However, the young male's love life would get more wild with Heitiare's friend Belle joining up with their tribe, as well as a pale lynx named Chenoa joining.

Q U I R K S & F E A R S
● Nightingale is loosely based off of my experiences with children, as well as my own experiences as a kid. He's very much that gullible sort of cry-alot kind of kid, and often throws tantrums when no one is paying attention to him or if he's not fed what he likes. Y'know, one of those brats, but he'll grow out of it!
● Nightingale was my first choice of names, and I even based his design off of the bird itself, as well as loosely tieing in some fawn white spots into his design to resemble a baby deer~
