Personality-

It seems like the only two words that can describe this young feline are withdrawn and quiet, for it seems that hardly a sentence can be ushered from her mouth that hasn’t been painfully, coaxingly, drawn out. Her quiet ways tend to make her blend into the background so that most of the time she can get away with socializing with only one or two cats a day, which for any other cat is an impossible thing to do as the clan is very big. Her temperament has cursed her- so far- quite a lonely life, as she has not had any friends to speak of. This is not to say that she is unfriendly or rude, just that oftentimes she is too intimidated start a conversation. It’s just the way she is.

However, if someone were to get to know her really well, she opens up to them quite quickly and has a warm, appealing personality. She is very sweet, and has an innocence around her that allows others to relax in her presence. No one has to act a certain way or feel the need to prove themselves when they are with her. Stormpaw accepts easily, and has an easy going air about her, which distills tension. They would find after awhile, that she has a bubbly, happy personality that she reserves only for those close to her.

Despite her apparently quiet disposition, Stormpaw has a very good sense of direction in that she knows her boundaries and how far she can push herself. Usually when asked to perform something that she knows she wouldn’t be able to do, she refuses to do it instead of trying it first. Some instinct tells her that no matter how hard she tries, there’s no possible way she could ever master something like that so there’s no point even learning. A peculiar situation, the one thing that perhaps stands out about her is the unwillingness to do something she won’t, or cannot do. It is the one thing for which she will stand up for and stay, “I won’t.”

Other than that however, she is an average apprentice. Her shyness tends to get in the way of her training and stops her from being the best that she can be. The fact she won’t try new things and that she is incredibly self-conscious impedes her skills and thus prevents her from excelling. This is not to say though that she is horrible at everything; rather she has her strong points and her weak. Thanks to her lithe, agile form she is one of the fastest apprentices in the clan, able to run and swerve and bound at incredible speeds through any type of weather. Her excellent sense of direction ensures that she is rarely, if ever lost and can easily find her way home. Her hunting skills are at par, not great, not horrible, but her fighting skills are a disgrace. Rarely, if ever does she put up a real fight and then only when she is in a desperate situation. Like usual, something she isn’t good at has a tendency to mean that she won’t get any better.

Stormpaw tends to observe rather than talk, and this has paid off in the sense that she has a good grip on others and how they act. She can tell if someone is really sad, or hurt, or angry for some reason and if she ever got the courage to talk to them, could probably be a really good cat to talk to. Her timidness also tends to lead to her tell the truth all the time, and she lays herself out there to be stabbed or hurt, or loved. She has never hated anyone in her life [mostly because she has never gotten to know them well enough to hate them] and she’s one of those characters that you come to adore after a while.

Appearance- [x]

Stormpaw is lithe for her ten moons. She has always been on the smaller side, though her fur makes her look a tad larger than she actually is. Her agile and somewhat skinny frame has caused elders to worry that she doesn’t get enough to eat, but this is not the case. She actually thinks she eats more than the average apprentice and concludes that it’s probably due to fast metabolism. As she grows older and matures, she will fill out around the edges, and although still slim for her breed, will be around the same size as those of her clan mates.

She has a Birman ancestry, which blessed her with a beautiful pelt that, much to her dismay, attracts a lot more attention than she cares to have. At a far away distance, she looks much like a chocolate covered paint canvas, every colour being splashed and dabbed and applied with as much thought as a kindergartener has when doing finger painting in class. At closer inspection, it can be seen that her base colour is actually a light cream. She has dark, chocolate patches over top, on her face, her ears, tail, and the better part of all legs. They vary in colour from a rich chestnut, to a lighter shade of hazel, though they blend together and are mostly a darker shade all together. Her fur is long, however unlike the full Persian breeds, it does not tangle as easily. It tends to start to grow in a wave-like shape and so each day, in the morning, at night, and many times in between, she must constantly attend to her coat regardless. However, in its prime, it is beautiful to behold, and silky soft to the touch.

Her legs are of medium-length and very strong, with large white paws that to Stormpaw seem to soil much too easily. Her tail is quite long in length, very bushy and plume-like, chocolate covered fur drooping down like a flume. A broad head is set on well defined neck, and has a flat spot between each ear. They are wide and spaced quite far apart, with the tips rounding at the top. Her markings make it look like she’s wearing a mask, the brown spots almost dominating here face. However, by her muzzle, the rim of her eyes, and the top part of her head is where the cream colour peeks through. She has four darker patches on her forehead that look like little bands. Her nose is a dark black colour and her whiskers of medium length. Her eyes are one of her most stunning features- as can be said for most cats. They are a round almond shape, and a brilliant deep sapphire blue colour. They completely make true the saying, a cat's eyes are the windows to her sould, for Stormpaw is very observant and her eyes quite expressive.
