Everyone has such fun headers for their characters and I want some for my own! So here's this thread:
How do you make your headers? What information do you include? What do you like about your own headers and other people's headers?
All fun and games! Don't worry about maming some perfect post
i like to add an image, credit to the image, pronouns, name of cat & maybe purrks to my header!
take a look:
Sparkflutter
« Wishing on the stars, living in the past »
sister of Dragonflycliff - she/her
Sunshine
"A little sunshine brightens anyone's day!"
trans + he/they - refer to him as she/her in IC posts anywhere, including when referred to in your post UNLESS your cat knows he's trans

i like to do a headshot or a fullbody of the character, along with their name, purrks, and a quote from a song/piece of media that suits the mood of the roleplay i'm replying too! since i do all my header art myself, i don't need to credit but if you're using a picrew or having someone else do the art, i'd reccomend adding artist credits!

agatha kitty, just a scratch, chill of death. [ @/ user ]
i typically do a full body or a headshot of the character followed by their name and some other basic info that might be good to know at a glance w/o having to dig through character bios like pronouns, age, purrks and their rank followed by their allegiance description or something similar to it. For apprentices i'll also have a line that's dedicated to keeping track of post count, here are a couple of mine:
Hushpaw
~<>~
x/100
10 moons || he/him || WindClan Apprentice medium furred tom w/ black, grey and white fur; gold eyes
Larkwing
~<>~
23 moons || she/her || RiverClan Warrior || Kitty Softpaws, Mind Reader, Beefed Up T2 scarred, scrawny dilute tortoiseshell; green eyes
if you're looking for art for your headers, there's plenty of people who have commissions open or can do one in an art trade - plus there's always the request art section in the KK market forum page where you can negotiate with different users and see what their headers might cost you ^^ !!
