[justify][font=georgia]Name;; Brindlekit - Brindlepaw - Brindlestep
Name Meaning/Origin;; The prefix, Brindle, refers to her pelt, as brindled animals have streaks of light and dark fur creating a striped pattern. The suffix, step, refers to her tendency to have a healthy amount of energy, and a strong work ethic. More often than not she feels the need to be doing something productive. Together, her name shows that every step she takes is both light and dark. She's got goodness and badness in her, and most of the time she's somewhere in the middle.
Sex & Gender;; Female & Female
Sexuality;; Heterosexual
Appearance;; A lean torbie with white paws, tail tip, chest, and muzzle with green eyes.
The first thing most will notice about Brindlekit is her namesake, her striped and splotched coat. Her hair is just long enough to put her in the long-haired category, which isn't such a bad thing for her considering her build is rather lanky with long legs and a naturally lean frame. Her coat makes her look a bit more proportional, but even so one can still tell her legs are a bit long for her size and her paws a bit large. The base of her coat is a deep sooty grey color, which is marked by long thing black stripes. This dark coloring is interrupted by ginger patches of hair with thin dark orange long stripes, as well as splashes of white here and there. In a way, she almost looks as if a child found a white kitten, and simply threw some paint on it at random.
Despite her coat being the first thing most notice about her, Brindlekit's most striking features are her eyes. These orbs are the light green of a spring meadow, with darker green flecks scattered around like little pine trees upon further inspection. Brindlekit's eyes are also truly the window to her soul. Anyone who knows her need only take a look into her emerald eyes to know exactly how she feels about something, even if the rest of her body language says otherwise.
Personality;; Sarcastic, ambitious, loyal, courageous, and intelligent.
Brindlekit is one of those people that you either really like or absolutely hate. She has a rather sarcastic sense of humor, one which will probably turn a bit cynical too as she grows older. She's not afraid to tell it like is, and so she is also rather blunt with people. She'd be the one to tell a friend that yes, that skirt does make her butt look fat. This child also has a strong sense of ambition, she wants to be great someday, to have her name in the history books, so to speak. She isn't sure where exactly this desire will lead her, but whether she simply does what she can or becomes a leader, she will always strive to be better at it.
Despite her prickly exterior, Brindlekit also has a noble side. She doesn't back down from a fight if it means something to her, even if she knows she probably won't win. She is also intensely loyal to those she cares about, more so than her Clan itself. In other words, if anything at all were to pose a threat to someone she cares for, she would do anything within her power to remove it, even if it means breaking the warrior code to do so. Brin is also rather intelligent. She picks things up quickly, and excels at anything requiring mental sharpness. This also comes at a price, though. She has a very good memory, and so while it takes a long time to build her trust up, it takes even longer to rebuild it after it is broken. She remembers those who have wronged her, and will hold a grudge for some time.
Quirks;;
- Twitches ears and tail tip when she's annoyed.
- Kneads the ground with claws when she's nervous.
- When she has a lot on her mind she likes to find a quiet spot with a decent view and just sit there, space out, and think it out.
Plot Ideas;;
- At some point, perhaps late apprenticeship or so, she'll break her paw. Despite everyone's best efforts, the break will cause it to heal so that the foot is crooked, giving her a permanent though slight limp. This will only interfere slightly with her warrior duties as she adjusts, but it will cause her a great deal of frustration for some time.
- Along with the paw, I plan on her having some sort of other event that also takes a toll on her mentally around the same time. The stress of the two combined will put Brindle in a dark place. She'll grow even more sarcastic than normal and even cold, and turn into a bit of a rebel.
- Eventually she'll return to her normal self, probably through the intervention and persistence of friends and relatives, though she'll probably never be a bouncing ray of sunshine or anything.
