A very chaotic, adventurous, troublemaking kitten, Orchard is always up to some sort of mischief or adventure. They're extremely brave and reckless and seem to have no sense of danger, and are also very competitive. They'll definitely be on an adventuring team as soon as they're old enough, they love listening to the older cat's stories of the adventures they've been on and are absolutely desperate to go adventuring themself - as is, they already go on as many small-scale expeditions around the village and neighboring areas as they can.

Orchard is close with both of their parents and all their littermates. They also get along with Brindle, as the two of them are equally adventurous: in the case of Brindle's brother, Bramble, however, they have a bit more of a rivalry, both of them being rather competitive. They also look up to Bramble and Brindle's older sibling, Blossom, quite a lot, admiring how bold and outspoken ae is. With their own littermates, they're equally close to all of them, but they're especially protective of Tilapia, who's practically the opposite of them in terms of personality and is much more anxious and shy.

Design notes:

• Solidly-built, but fairly lithe: their fur makes them look bigger than they are.
  
• Long, thick fur. The fur tufts on their cheeks, tail, and ear-tips are not optional, though they can be stylized, but all other fur tufts are optional. Fur should have a fairly sleek appearance on the whole, and can appear slightly curly.
  
• Their tail markings, the white diamond marking on their chest, and the white socks on their hind paws are symmetrical, but all other markings are not.
  
• Apparel is not symmetrical: their lily headpiece is only on their left (viewer's right) side, and their shield is only on their left side as well, though the shield strap wraps around their body and is visible on both sides.
  
• Their face patches and stripes, their white chest diamond, and their tail patches and stripes should stay mostly as depicted in their reference sheet, though they can be somewhat simplified. All other markings, along with their apparel, can be simplified or stylized as needed: in general, these design notes are just guidelines, and don't need to be followed exactly.
  
• Note that this is their older kitten to adolescent design: as an adult they might look slightly different!
