Posts by Ashfeather

Character Name: Ashfeather

Character Age: 13 moons

Gender: Tom

Alliance: ThunderClan (or LeafClan, if I'm not playing canon)
Rank: Warrior

Appearance:
Ashfeather is a very lean tom bordering on small, with a lithe body build and compact muscles. Despite this small form, however, his paws are actually a little over-sized when compared to the rest of him. His fur is a medium-toned gray that is both thick and short. The only variations from this coloration are a white spot on his underbelly and a darker gray tail with a hint of tabby markings near the tip. Ashfeather has round and expressive sky blue eyes. The only physical imperfections he has are a small scar running across one of his sides that cannot usually be perceived because of his fur and a small notch taken out of his right ear.

Personality:
Ashfeather is a rather timid cat. Though he has managed to overcome much of his cowardice as an apprentice, some of the trait still remains, and can be seen through the way he often folds his ears back when anxious or nervous. He’s more of a “night owl”, and enjoys slipping away at night to hunt. On nights he’s feeling especially brave he will offer to watch camp for the night. Generally, Ashfeather acquiesces easily to other cats as to avoid conflict. As a warrior, he always has good intentions at heart, though he may end up making a mess of things. He always tries to correct his mistakes, when he can.

---Likes: Nighttime, squirrels, Gatherings (so he can meet with other friends), and newleaf (especially the flowers).
--- Dislikes: Conflict, loud noises, toads and frogs (either eating or stepping on them), and early mornings.
---Strengths: Hunting, stealth, speed, loyalty, and mediating.
---Weaknesses: Sometimes flees from threatening situations, fighting, his size, his slight rashness, and climbing trees (both getting up and coming down).

History:
Ashfeather was born to warriors Russetwing (father) and Willowtail (mother). Originally, he had two other siblings called Heatherkit (she-cat) and Mousekit (tom). But the two adventurous kits sneaked out of camp one night to "explore", and happened across a fox's den, where they were killed. Ashfeather was saved by his timidness, as he had stayed behind despite his siblings' teasing for fear of getting caught and being in trouble. In his apprentice years, his mother died in the midst of a breakout of Greencough. He was mentored by a warrior named Redfang, who was strict, but had a good heart. Being tutored alongside him was a she-cat named Palepaw, the only other apprentice at the time. The two became fast friends. Palepaw became a warrior two moons before Ashfeather did, and during the period when he was still an apprentice, a loner she-cat by the name of Bird joined ThunderClan. The new apprentice (suitably dubbed Birdpaw) also formed a close relationship with Ashfeather. Both friendships persisted into warriorhood. Ashfeather has been a part of a few border scuffles, one clan fight, and one rouge attack. The latter attack was what sealed his slightly early warrior ceremony (when he was 11 and a half moons). Ashfeather is still a rather new warrior, and has not yet had an apprentice. His father is still alive and is now a veteran warrior.

(In LeafClan, his siblings died in the cold of leafbare and his mother was killed by a wolf pack on the hunt. His mother is a loner, and his father is unknown and absent. His mentor found him while hunting and he followed her back to camp.)

Roleplay Sample:

Comments: His background changes depending on the clan to better suit the settings of both regions. LeafClan is one of four newly formed clans in Canada, which is where the wolves come from. It's also less uncommon that his father would be unknown and that a loner would be his mother.

Character Name: Palestorm

Character Age: 15 moons

Gender: She-cat

Alliance: ThunderClan (LeafClan, when I'm not playing canon)

Rank: Warrior

Appearance:
Palestorm is a strong cat despite her average body size that borders on lean. She's a cream tabby with fur slightly longer than what's normal for a short-haired cat, and it's very soft. Her amber eyes are round but are more pointed along the outer edges, and she has white on her chest, paws, muzzle, and around her eyes. Her pretty face is wide but round, and her fuzzy ears are perked. She has a fuzzier tail with the tabby stripes less apparent on it. The she-cat also has long whiskers ideal for hunting expeditions.

Personality(6 or more sentences):
Palestorm is a vivacious cat. She never entirely grew out of the curiosity that is typical of kittens and/or apprentices, though it has toned down since she has taken on the responsibilities of a warrior. Palestorm has a sharp tongue and a short temper, but she has a good heart and cares for other cats she gets to know. Despite her nosy ways, Palestorm is actually a rational cat that knows how to deal with mundane crises like border squabbles without causing bloodshed, unless bloodshed is necessary. She's a loyal cat and self-assured cat, always confident in her decisions and the decisions of those she trusts. Though she tends to trust sincere-sounding cats too easily, rarely stopping to consider ulterior motives.

---Likes : Rabbits, patrol, hunting, and early mornings (especially when there's dew on the plants in the camp; "It's so beautiful!")
--- Dislikes: Beetles, scorching hot newleaf or greenleaf days, the taste of marigold, and swimming.
---Strengths: Fighting, hunting, her hearing, and her thoughtfulness.
---Weaknesses: Expressing her own feelings, knowing when to stop asking questions, her lack of patience, and her tendency to be easily trusting.

History:
Palestorm was born into ThunderClan. Her parents are Smallfoot (father) and Rowanheart (mother). She was an only kit, and lived a rather average kithood. Secretly, she had wanted to be a medicine cat apprentice, but this turned out to be a passing wish, and as she went further into her warrior training with Tinyhawk the thought was forgotten. It was also during this training that she met one of her closest friends, Ashfeather. They disliked each other at first, Palestorm impatient with his cowardly ways and Ashfeather afraid of the she-cat. One day, though, he decided not to put up with her tauntings anymore and attacked her. Both cats fought hard, mentors desperately trying to separate the two. When they were finally, the two began laughing. She was less accepting of Ashfeather's friendship to the loner Bird (later Birdsong), but she eventually grew to like the young silver tabby. She was named a warrior at 12 moon old and is still a fairly new warrior. She's catching on to everything quickly, though, and revels in her position as protector of the clan.

(In LeafClan, she was a former kittypet who was abandoned when her owner got too poor to feed her)

Comments: Same for Ashfeather on LeafClan stuff.

Character Name: Thrushpaw (formerly Thrush and Thrushpaw)

Character Age: 13 moons

Gender: She-cat

Alliance: RefugeClan (formerly DuskClan)

Rank: Deputy's apprentice

Appearance:
Thrushpaw is a dark red tabby with an average build. Her fur is short but soft and she has white on her nose, muzzle, chest, legs, and underbelly. She has slightly narrowed deep blue eyes, and her face is in more of a triangular shape. Really, Thrushpaw is a pretty cat if one can look past the scars on her flank and nose. She has one running from her ear to the bottom of her face too, but that one's hard to see. Her nose is a light color of pink and her ears are somewhat widely-spaced.

Personality(6 or more sentences):
Thrushpaw is a kind cat, though she's not so quick to trust others. Her curiosity is limited by her cautious demeanor, and her shyness sometimes makes it difficult for her to speak in front of cats she's unfamiliar with. She's also skiddish, particularly at night, and things such as loud noises can make her jump. In general, Thrushpaw is a happy feline, if a little closed-minded. She cares for her sister, Poppykit, deeply and can sometimes be too protective of the kit. In matters she feels may threaten her sister's safety, she becomes stiff and stern.

---Likes : Snow (watching it, not being in it), leaf-fall, and hunting.
--- Dislikes: Night, rain, most insects, and places she is not familiar with.
---Strengths: Hunting, her alertness, agility, and her stealth.
---Weaknesses: Fighting, her skiddishness, and her tendency to worry.

History:
Thrushpaw was born into a clan called DuskClan. Her mother was a pretty calico named Emberheart and her father was a strong red tabby named Redfur. She was an only kit until her parents had a second litter when she was an apprentice 8 moons of age. She bonded with all of her new siblings. So when a band of rouges invaded the clan camp after a bitter territorial argument, the first place she went was to help guard the nursery. Unfortunately, when a rouge did find and break into the clan nursery, it was immediately clear the apprentice was outmatched. The angry rouge began attacking the cats within the nursery. Thrushpaw's fear peaked and she fled out the back of the nursery, pushing through the ferns and thorns that covered it. It was only when she was outside that she realized one of her siblings had tagged along; 1 moon old Poppykit. She took her sister, and they managed to flee from the camp with few casualites. In the morning, Thrushpaw was too afraid to return to clan for fear of being called a coward and finding her family and friends dead. She became a loner named Thrush, caring for her sister named Poppy. They heard rumors of a clan taking is outcasts, and Thrush tentatively joined because she knew she couldn't always protect her sister with her undeveloped warrior skills. Before she joined RefugeClan, she had tried to return to her clan once, but could not find the way back.

Roleplay Sample:

Comments: DuskClan and her family (minus Poppykit) do not actually exist anywhere on this site. They are for backstory purposes only. She was named Thrushpaw again when she joined RefugeClan, hence the "formerly Thrush and Thrushpaw".
