Quoll

SHORT DESCRIPTION WILL BE ASSIGNED BY STAFF FOLLOWING APPROVAL

Quoll is a Snow Mink Bengal.

His fur, for the most part, is an eggshell-white but his markings are an orange tinted brown that both fades into his white and stands starkly against it depending on where on his body the markings sit.

Quoll has an almost orange, brown nose blaze that merges into his tabby markings on his forehead. These markings are more gray-black than the rest of his markings. He also has some thin stripes on his cheeks and above his eyes that are in his normal brown marking colouration. His legs are tabby striped, while his flanks have rosette spots with darker rings and paler brown centers. The striping continues down his belly and on his shoulders and chest, growing paler the further away from the spots.

His tail is also tabby striped, but contains rings of black near the tip, making for a stark contrast to the rest of his body and markings. His paws are the same orange-brown as his markings and he has pale blue eyes.

Quoll is a sweet and enthusiastic tom who enjoys life and all that it has to offer. Curious and bold, he loves to learn and isn’t afraid to explore the world around him, fearlessly talking to anycat that he meets. He could be described as somewhat over-confident as even in the face of a hissy-spitting fury, he would be likely to ask questions rather than unsheathe his own claws. That’s not to say Quoll would never fight, but he would much rather talk things out and deeply believes words are the key to peace.

This love of words and chatter, however, can make Quoll a bit obnoxious. Coming from a far-off land, his own speech differs enough to make him difficult to understand at times, and he has a tendency to correct the pronunciation of words, thinking he is helping others speak better. As he becomes used to those around him, however, he will begin to show acceptance of the differences and while he may always instinctively voice corrections, he will become apologetic.

With how talkative Quoll can be, he has a tendency to overshare information. The tom wears his emotions plainly and will voice them eagerly when asked. This openness of emotion leads to Quoll occasionally getting hurt when he ought not to, but he tends to try to laugh things off in order to keep the peace. This in turn has resulted in the tom being somewhat pessimistic about himself but hiding from those negative feelings by trying to turn himself into a kind of joke. As such, some may view him as a bit of a birdbrain who doesn’t think too much about what he says or does and while this is true to a point, Quoll very much does spend time reflecting, regretting and attempting to correct how is perceived in hopes of becoming truly loved and accepted by everyone.
