IsthmusClan

One may find it easy to underestimate this clan of tiny artsy felines, with their short stature, stout builds, and meticulously decorated pelts, but like the volatile waves to which they owe their namesake, the crafty and intelligent IsthmusClan is an unforgiving, indomitable force to be reckoned with. Community and coordination with the whole Clan is fundamental to their lifestyle, their values laying strong in the ideal of teamwork and reliability. IsthmusClan lives on a foundation of relying on one another and protecting their own, this codependency proving to create a force as passionate as it is unconventional. They believe in nurturing creativity, supporting each other in their artistic work, and keeping one's mind open to the inspiration their unique world has to offer. They channel their inventiveness in the form of crafting jewelry and painting aesthetically pleasing murals, paws and claws almost always stained despite how much swimming they do.

IsthmusClanners believe in the Divine Creativeness, or Muses, every cat a conduit for the wonders of the supernatural— but IsthmusClan most of all above all other cats. Always going with the flow and searching for inspiration, IsthmusClanners abhor boredom and the art block that comes with it. Though their standards of aesthetic vary between cat and are often unconventional, IsthmusClan as a whole is disinterested in anything they don’t find aesthetically pleasing. Life is about finding the next inspiration, the next creative endeavor.

For as supportive and cliquey as IsthmusClan is, they are also very critical of one another in the name of constant improvement. It’s important to IsthmusClan to never be truly satisfied with where you are in that moment, as you can only ever go up so long as you put the effort in. While not workaholics, work is always lurking in the back of an IsthmusClanner’s mind. Patient as water and persistent as a glacier, IsthmusClan knows how to slow down, but never how to stop.
