Character Name: Blackpaw
Character Age: 7 moons
Gender: She-cat
Alliance: ShadowClan
Rank: Apprentice
Appearance (6 or more sentences): Blackpaw has a smaller frame than most apprentices. It's estimated that she'll be slightly above shoulder height (of a regular warrior) when she's grown. Her pelt color is as black as the midnight sky, with a pair of two-tone eyes, green and amber, to accompany it. Blackpaw's tail is fluffier than the rest of her pelt although she has a balance between long and short fur. The little apprentice surprisingly has sharp, white claws that contrast greatly with her especially dark pelt. Blackpaw as a fleck of white on the backside of her left ear, a minor trace of her father, that isn't usually noticed right off.
Personality (6 or more sentences--these sentences form their own section and do NOT count towards the 4 groups below. Those are additional requirements): This little she-cat is a little spit-fire, and can't stand still. This can seem quite contradicting, since Blackpaw is known for slipping off into the territory and spending long periods of time in solitude, just being by herself. Much of what personality she does expose to her Clanmates is her aggresive or defensive side. Blackpaw is rather hesitant when it comes to trust with another cat. Sure, she has a general trust with her Clanmates- but the she-cat is always half expecting one of them to betray her or her Clan. Cynical and loud, her personality stems from her past, which she hasn't shared with another cat thus far.
---Likes (at least 3): Her interests include being in the comforting solitude of the marshy, pine forest territory of her home. The black femme could spend ages in a secluded clearing, admiring the beauty about her. Due to her personality, Blackpaw adores getting into mischeif such as placing a fire ant in a denmate's nest.
--- Dislikes (at least 3): She can't stand silence, it draws paranoia into her already cynical mind. Blackpaw has no soft spot for young and naive kits or new apprentices and tends to avoid the nursery more often than not. Authority is another problem Blackpaw faces, and only feels respect for the Clan leader and her mentor, but to them exclusively.
---Strengths (No MORE than 5): She's nimble when climbing rocky or hard surfaces, such as a tall rock. Blackpaw also has confidence in her speed in general due to her smaller, non muscular frame, and uses this to her advantage in battle.
---Weaknesses (At least 3): Nothing can terrify this she-cat more than being in the treetops. Blackpaw had a horrid experience that involved falling from a branch of a pine tree, and she isn't comfortable above ground. She is very defensive about her size and abhors feeling underestimated or demeaned.
History (8 or more sentences): Blackpaw was Clanborn like most of her denmates, but her father was a ruthless loner that she'd only seen once formally. Her mother was the only kit in her mother's litter, yet her mother rejected the black she-cat as her daughter for reasons unknown to Blackpaw. Because of this disgust from her mother, Blackpaw would often get scolded or rebuffed by brash and hateful comments made in private by her mother. This is what caused her cynical and defensive personality in the present, and deep down, Blackpaw has a caring side. But it was smothered by her mother's apparent hate for her only kit. In the one time Blackpaw has seen her father, he didn't show any signs of being proud or even interested in his kit. He'd never even claimed her to her face, all of these events turned her rather bitter. Blackpaw's mother is to blame for her fear of climbing trees- when she was a kit, her mother carried her up a tree to a branch that wasn't very low to the ground but wasn't substantially high. With a few nasty insults, her mother nudged her off the side of the tree, and she fell into a holly bush, thus causing her cynical state of mind. Unbeknownst to her, Blackpaw's mother never wanted her kit to die- she was actually wanting Blackpaw to grow up stronger than she was, but went about this the completely wrong way. When her mother died at the paws of her loner of a father, Blackpaw swore to never show mercy to any loner she came across.
