to whom it may concern,

Mother gave birth to me today. I was ready for it, not consciously of course, but my body knew it was time for change. The space that I shared with my brothers felt so cramped and they kept kicking me with their obnoxiously wiggling! I can’t fathom what was so fun about kicking me, but I can assure you, I was quite ready to leave behind that tiny universe. So, I launched myself away from them. And quite easily, I found myself free of the confining space. Honestly, I hadn’t expected it to be so easy, and the cold hard surface under me was shocking. With the tough lick of my mother’s tongue, I gasped in astonishment at the change. Although I couldn’t see, hear, or even smell, I feel the open space around me. This was a huge world.

At first, I was unnerved by the sudden awareness I had of the openness above me and the solidness beneath me. I adjusted quickly, though, found comfort in this new place. I was thrilled I was no longer floating lamely, but could move only and entirely with me own will. I rolled my gray face in the ground affectionately, loving that it gave me this personal power. However, it was also terrible cold. Shivers tingled my skin and my fur stood on end. I turned my attention to wriggling towards the nearest heat source, which so happened, was who I would come to know as my mother. Her side was plush and familiar, for I had spent months in her womb. I wanted to rest rest her quietly, but she wouldn’t stay still! My ear, I’m sure, twitched with displeasure, but I wouldn’t allow her squirming to deny me what I needed! My patient persistence at seeking her stillness was finally rewarded when she settled onto her side.

My second-born sibling was with me now. I reognized the feel of his ruthless paw as he also scrambled towards their mother. We didn’t have the chance to compete for the warmth for long, thankfully because or loving parent tucked us closely by her side and wrapped us in warmth. My tail twitched happily. I was finally satisfied with the world I could feel that was much larger than the womb I was developed in. The warmth of affection that I felt from Mother imprinted onto my mind, and in turn, I felt the same for Mother and also for her brother, Arancione, next to her, and for my unborn brother.

When I was named, I felt it. Apollinari felt like the proper word for me. I had yet to know words, but this would be the first one I would recognise, and second would be my nickname, Nari. I resigned myself to fitful rest next to the two of them, but I was harldy fully content. My second brother was missing! Although I had wanted space, I certainly hadn’t wanted to ditch him. I couldn’t be fully content in this new space without him. As if reading my needs, my mother moved away from us. Mother returned with my second brother, Scianthàn! I relaxed completely when I had both of my brother near, I fell immediately into deep sleep. My first few hours in the world were spent this way, sleeping, and thinking about nothing but the safety of being snuggled together with my family.

Personality: Apollinari is a gentle soul. She does everything elegantly and softly. She is very independent, and enjoys long periods of solitude. Her mind is sharp and there is never a detail she misses. She loves finding ways to make noise since her voice box doesn’t work. Nari can be, however, explosive. When she becomes pressed for space or feels like she’s being pushed on, she gets defensive in a big sort of way. She doesn’t hold grudges (and she easily forgives) and easily comes off negative emotions like anger, fear, jealousy, etc.
