APPEARANCE Copperkit's base is made up of a deep, chocolaty brown with even dark stripes running down her back. The deep brown lightens into a deep cinnamon around her chest and merges into a single white spot, but otherwise, her pelt is mostly entirely solid. She has wide, haunting yellow eyes that offer incredible contrast from the night-like darkness of her pelt. Her fur is often disheveled and her eyes are often glazed over to an immunodeficiency that she was born with as a result of a genetic mutation. Whiskott-Aldritch syndrome is characterized by extreme susceptibility to illness, difficulty in terms of clotting, and frequent nosebleeds and bruises.

BACKWRITTEN HISTORY: Copperkit was born to the foreigner Cinderstream alongside her older brother Duskkit, and her older sister Sweetkit. With Duskkit becoming mute, Sweetkit having constant upper respiratory infections, and Copperkit being generally sickly, they are affectionately dubbed the 'hospital litter'. Copperkit is spending most of her time in the medicine den with the medicine cat stand-in, Cherryburn, after the disappearance of previous Medicine Cat, Peachmoon. Copperkit hardly goes back to the nursery and she grows paranoid and depressed that she cannot play with the other kits or roughhouse in general. She takes a pssive role on the sidelines and focuses on recovering from every disease that comes her way instead of trying to tempt fate.
