  • Character Name: Loon That Sits On Calm Water {Loon}/ Lightwatcher (She is called Loon by her close friends, but like Stoneteller she is called Lightwatcher formally.)


    Character Age: 27 moons {a little over 2 years}


    Gender: She-cat


    Alliance: Tribe Of Lights That Dance In The Sky


    Rank: Lightwatcher {Leader}


    Appearance (6 or more sentences):
    Body and fur type: Loon is a medium sized cat, she has slim shoulders and body, with long legs. She is a very fast runner, and can catch some of the few rabbits that inhabit the island she lives on. She has triangular ears, not very pointed but not rounded either, framing her face perfectly. She has slim shoulders, but they are covered in complete muscle, making her a strong and fast swimmer. She has a long tail that is feathered all the way down. Loon has long fur, if you hadn't guessed it, and it is very thick. Her overcoat is somewhat soft, but is mainly course and waterproof where as her undercoat is downy soft and thick, keeping her warm during the harsh winters that grip her home every year.
    Markings: Loon is a mainly white cat, with black markings. She has a white chest, belly, legs, and tail tip, as well as her white shoulders. She has a black muzzle spot that is on the right side of her muzzle, it looks like a little blotch. She also has black covering her ears, and forehead, but they stop before they can reach her muzzle, and the white spot on her shoulders prevents it from reaching the black on her back. On her back she has multiple black markings, trailing along her back and partway down her forelegs. The black ends before it reaches her tail, and her tail is white at the base trailing upwards, until the tip which is black. She also has a black left front paw, and a black sock on her back left leg.
    Eyes: She has yellow lime eyes. They are almost completely clear of markings, but they look like a lime looking glass, something you could see your future in if you looked hard enough. Her eyes can hide her emotions well enough, but sometimes she is so upset or angry that she cannot hide how she is feeling.



    [b]Personality (6 or more sentences--these sentences form their own section and do NOT count towards the 4 groups below. Those are additional requirements): Loon is a very nice cat, she believes firmly in the ancestors and the ancients, and is a very fair cat. When a cat breaks the rules she will decide a suitable punishment, but also giving the cat a chance to redeem themselves. She can be harsh when needed, but is overall an accepting cat. She is very wary of newcomers, if any Travellers are found on the island it takes her a while to trust them. She is gentle with kits, and loves them quite a lot, and she treats them as if they were her own. She is fiercely protective of her Tribe, and will gladly throw her life away if it could save her tribe. She treats cats with the respect they deserve, and even cats that have broken the rules are treated well. Some cats (like Tigerstar) would call her soft as a kitty-pet, but if they could see her when she was angry they would quickly take the words back. She believes that the rules should be obeyed, knowing that it wont always happen, and knowing that she will still have to punish the ones who break them. Overall she is a great cat, loyal and brave but she has her flaws, as she is wary and trusting (to cats she knows), but these things don't make her a bad cat.


    ---Likes (at least 3): Loon likes to fish, especially in the summer when it is warm. She loves being with her clan-mates, especially kits. Another thing Loon likes to do is help other cats, whether it is with finding something that has been lost, or helping a hunting patrol out, she loves to help other cats.
    --- Dislikes (at least 3): She hates disrespectful cats, cats who lie to her or others, and she has a special distaste for pike, due to the ferocity of the fish, and it's sharp teeth. She also dislikes how long the winters can be, but she knows there is nothing she can do to change that.
    ---Strengths (No MORE than 5): She has long claws making her a good hunter. She is an excellent swimmer, which is perfect for her island home. She has long legs, and is a very fast runner, also helpful for catching prey. One last thing that helps her to be a good leader is her ability to make decisions quickly, to be able to asses a situation and make the best decision she can.
    ---Weaknesses (At least 3): She isn't very good at climbing trees, making her more vulnerable on the ground. She also has a fear of heights, though very few know of this. Her fear of heights makes it difficult for her to hunt near the sharp-cliffs on the eastern shore of the island. Another thing that could be considered a weakness is her inability to think for herself before her clan, even when in danger she always thinks for her clan before herself- this makes her a good leader, but she puts her life endanger often because she doesn't care about her own life so much as everyone else's. She would sooner throw herself off of a cliff then let a cat get harmed, and she takes it almost personally when a cat dies. Eventually she will get over this, but for the time being every death seems to be on her head, always her fault.


    History (8 or more sentences):As a kit she was somewhat shy, but she loved to play, all the other cats liked her and had a natural attraction to her. She was obviously the leader of the kits, and a day after being born the previous lightwatcher lost his 8th life. When he was with the ancients they told him that the loon is a gentle creature, full of beauty and tranquillity, and the loon would be the next leader of the tribe. The kits all had names by this time, and Loon was the obvious choice to become the next lightwatcher. When the leader came in to tell her and her mother one cloudy night, as soon as he had said this, the clouds parted and the moon shone down on the little kit, turning her silver. It was as clear as day that the ancients wanted Loon to be the next lightwatcher. When she became of age the young she cat learned how to be a leader, how to take care of her weak, and put others before herself. She trained hard, and became the best lightwatcher heir the tribe had ever known. She trained also in the way of the ancients, and seemed to have a direct connection with the previous tribe leaders. When the leader was on his last life he was an old cat, and he was sure she was ready to become leader. She had learned to read the stars and the lights in the sky, learned to fight and hunt, and even learned a little in the way of the herbhealers. She was ready and this he knew. That night he told her that even though he had no kits, she was like a daughter to him, that he loved her and was more proud of her than any cat in the tribe. He gave her a lick on the head before going to sleep. That night he died in his sleep. The tribe mourned him while Loon and the starreader made the journey to prey island. Sleeping under the stars that night, on destiny shore, the northern lights lit up the sky. (a good sign when a new leader is getting their lives) And she received her 9 lives from the Ancients.


    Roleplay Sample (Required for first advanced bio): Loon That Sits On Calm Water woke up sometime in the middle of the night, opening her eyes blearily. She let out a large yawn, her pink tongue showing as she did so. When she was almost fully awake the noise that had awoken her made her look up. There was a loon sitting peacefully on the destiny shore, it having a nest on the rarely inhabited prey island. She made contact with the bird, it seeing the cat lying under the stars, and her seeing the loon sitting on it's eggs. A sort of message passed between the two, a silent truce. The loon looked away, as did the cat and she looked around the quiet shoreline. Prey island was full of prey, but it was strictly forbidden to hunt on the island unless having permission from the lightwatcher. With a sudden insight, she realized she was the lightwatcher now! A single tear grew inside her eye, and leaked out. That was all she could do, because next to her the starreader awoke. Without a word the two cats picked themselves up, and the leader looked up into the sky as the northern lights danced around. She received the messages the ancients sent her, that she was accepted as the new leader, and her mentor had been received into the great beyond. She gave an eternal sigh of relief, It was a very good sign if the lights danced in the sky when a new leader was chosen, It meant acceptance and approval. She nodded to her starreader, and they headed back towards home, the loon giving a hooting call behind them. They made it to the other side of the destiny swim, and shook themselves of the cold water. It was custom that cats were not to speak to one another after a leader had been giving their 9 lives, until they reached the other side of the Destiny Swim. But neither cat was in the mood to talk, and they padded on in silence. When they finally got back to camp the festivities had already begun, the cats already eating and gossiping and celebrating the last Lightwatcher's life. When Loon walked in all the other cats fell into a hushed silence as the watched her approach the stump in the centre of the clearing. She leaped gracefully onto the stump and said the ceremonious tribe meeting. “Let all the cats old enough to leap onto the barren rock join me here under the spruce stump for a tribe gathering.


    Comments (optional): My first Advanced Bio!! :D I have a question though. I have created a Fan Tribe (The Tribe of Lights That Dance In The Sky) And I want it to be advanced. Will I be able to create it now that I have an advanced Bio Done?? :)


  • Hey FluffyKitty! This bio is looking great, but just a few things need to be edited before it can be accepted. :)


    **You've got a couple grammar errors, not using an apostrophe, leaving out words, that kind of thing. Look through once or twice and see if you can spot them. :)


    **In a couple sections, you capitalize words that aren't names or after a period, especially in the Roleplay sample. Can you please fix that?


    **While your weaknesses are fine in and of themselves, I'm gonna need more explanation -in the bio- of why they're a weakness. Are there a lot of Twolegs where she lives? Does she sometimes have to lie, and can't? Those kind of things.


    **In the History, you say that a faint glow randomly appeared above her head, not in a dream but in reality. That's not very realistic, so could you please change it? Maybe clouds parted and moonlight shone on her? The light just can't come from nowhere. :)


    Once you're finished editing, please bump this and I or another staffer will take a look. ^.^



  • Congratulations, and really nice edit job! You can post here to have your account advanced board enabled. :) Make sure to include the link to this bio when you post, and be patient. ^.^


    Now, two things. One, this site is an AU -Alternate Universe- which means that events from the book never happened. That means Tigerstar never existed. You don't need to change it, but I just thought I should mention it.


    For your question, yes, once your account is advanced enabled, you're free to make an Advanced Tribe or Clan. :)

  • Thank you so much!! :D


    Well I meant that a cat like tigerstar (powerhungry, mean, thinks any kindness is a weakness) would say that she is soft, because she is gentle and kind to other cats. ;)


    Oh, ok! thanks again, I can't wait to start Rping her! :D
