The symptoms of Fractured Agility Syndrome, or Flickertwitch, are characterized by sporadic and unpredictable disruptions in the catfolk's innate agility and grace.

Development

The hereditary nature of Fractured Agility Syndrome remains hidden until puberty for catfolk, leading to hope among parents that their children may not have inherited it. The initial episode of Flickertwitch during puberty can be disorienting, as young catfolk experience unpredictable moments of vulnerability, affecting their natural agility. They may feel confusion, embarrassment, and isolation as they struggle to comprehend their condition.

Recovery

It is important to note that while recovery is achievable, Flickertwitch remains an inherent aspect of the catfolk's identity, and not all episodes can be entirely prevented. Instead, the focus is on embracing the uniqueness of their condition and using it to their advantage whenever possible. Through a combination of acceptance, practice, and community support, the catfolk learn to navigate the ebb and flow of Flickertwitch.
