zoom in code by @-raindropp ! BACKSTORY: (warning, kinda sad story lol) One day, three kittens were born to a dying mother and a family of four. Two of the kittens were a rich deep hue of blue. The last was a strange variation of colors and markings, a runt too. The family cooed and fussed over the normal kittens while the smallest shivered in a corner. Months had elapsed since their birth. The runt never had an official name to go by. The family had always pointed her and called her names. She didn't understand what they were saying but one glance at their repulsed faces told her that they weren't very pleasant. Sometime later the family decided that she wasn't welcome in the house anymore. They casted her out on the streets. For a while, she wandered and grew to be accustomed to being a stray. One night as she was crossing a desolate road, a strange noise seemed to creep closer. She turned sharply to her left, just in time as a blinding light consumed her. An old lady on her morning walk noticed the body. Pitying the poor creature, she wrapped her scarf around the cat and laced it with pink sea foam roses. Taking note of the markings, she placed a fish plush between its paws. She felt a floating sensation, it was almost comfortable. She looked down and saw an elderly woman kneeled over her decorated body. Her body! She quickly glanced at herself. Not only was she transparent, she had the scarf and flowers. She squeezed her fish plush gratefully. This had been the first time someone had bothered to show her kindness. She looked around and saw multiple figures appearing from the horizon. They had the same scales and fish markings she had! The figures glided closer and introduced themselves as the sea spirits and that she would be joining them. The friendly spirits surrounded her with warm compliments and welcomes and bestowed the name Downstream upon her. As they drifted towards the sea, away from the world that never cared for her, Downstream realized that she finally had a family.
