I meant to put this up ages ago but never got round to it. These characters were already accepted into the founding group of the Jumaa but due to not having much time I temporarily dispersed them. Since Josephine is on her way to meet them I guessed they deserved a bio and be brought back into the RP.
So just for another blurb of Phantasm wild group history here's the bio for MJ & RT.

Personality: Mungo Jerrie and his twin sister Rumpel Teaser are like two peas in a pod. Both have similar patterns of markings and it’s only their dye marks and gender that allow them to be individually identified from one another. Both incredibly energetic and highly playful, the twins rarely act their age and always consider play fighting the number one priority of the day.
Acting in tandem, they are known for their scheming antics of luring in unsuspecting rovers and then chasing them away together.
History: Born in January 2007 to Quentin the dominant female of the wild Phantasms group alongside a subordinate female (RPPTF001)’s litter of three pups, the three males and two females were named after characters in T.S. Elliot’s book of Practical Cats.
Little history is recorded about their early life but the pair successfully emerged from the burrow and grew to a year old in the comfort of the expanding group.
After witnessing several dominant male switches in late 2007 and the acceptance of a couple of roving males into the group, Rumple Teaser mated with one of the rovers (RPPTM030) was subsequently evicted alongside three other subordinate females including older sister Tequila Sunrise in January 2008 at just over a year old.
The small band of evicted females were joined by a wild rover (RPPTM035) and together formed a small splinter group. With all females expecting, Tequila Sunrise asserted dominance over the other females and maternal instincts took over as the female’s gave birth to their litters close together. Witnessing the event and tragic loss, Rumpel Teaser stuck with the group long enough to see the survival of (RPPTF003)’s two pups: Napoleon and Josephine before leaving and being reaccepted back into the Phantasms. On 18th January Rumpel Teaser gave birth to one thin pup named Twiggy who later emerged a few weeks later with the dominant female’s newest litter in mid February of the same year.
Content with his sister and nieces’ safety within the group, Mungo Jerrie left the wild group on his first roving trip in late April 2008 but shortly returned to the wild group alone in mid May. Over the next coming months neither twin are recorded as being affected by the group split nor the increased pressure of famine conditions, however many members of the wild group were lost or predated and no pups were born alive until December of that year.
Mungo Jerrie and Rumpel Teaser continued to stick with their family group until early July 2009 when a group split occurred and the group was separated into several smaller clusters of meerkats. Unknowingly their siblings with the youngest pups formed the foundation of the Tiny Kats in the South West whilst the twins disappeared off further to the West to look for a new group and joined the Jumaa Mob in mid October 2009.
