Swanpaw

[Swanpaw]

Name:

Swanpaw

Gender:

She-cat

Age:

9 moons

Rank:

Apprentice

Appearance:

'Stark-white she-cat with bright blue eyes.'

Head:

Like most cats, Swanpaw has a triangular shaped head that more closely resembles a wedge of sorts. Medium sized ears are set up high, angled slightly toward the center of her face. They are silky to the touch, pink on the inside, and small furnishings grow outwards. The hair along her face persists to be very soft and smooth, and remains absolutely white. Swanpaw has a triangular shaped pink nose, and short white whiskers. The most prominent feature that this petite she-cat has to offer are her sparkling, cornflower blue eyes that also appear to be more of a steel blue color at times. They are oval shaped, yet slightly slanted.

Body:

Swanpaw is petite in size to the majority of the other AshClan cats, but she is only an apprentice. Her legs are spider-like, and she's notably quick on them. She has a slender body and small paws, but a long tail that has slightly longer fur covering it than the rest of her body does. That pure white fur that painted her face continues to cover the rest of this apprentice, and there is no other color that flaws the stark color of her fur. Although she does happen to be much less physically imposing next to her clan mates, her size gives her an advantage to being speedy and enables her to move quietly when stalking prey.

Personality:

Swanpaw's personality has not clearly developed yet, leaving a lot of room for other cats of the clan to shape and mold her to be what they want her to be. She is generally a calm she-cat, one that doesn't let a whole lot affect her to an extent. She is usually quiet, and has become quite the little observationist. Swanpaw's main goal is to simply prove to her mentor that she is worth his time, and to become a huntress that AshClan can't afford to lose in the future.

History:

Chapter 1: Shadeheart was a lovely looking, feisty young warrior when the battled hardened Whitethroat took an unusual liking to her. Now this tom wasn't really concerned with the 'rights' that the she-cats thought they had at the time, and neither was she for that matter. Shadeheart knew it was her duty to produce more warriors and hunters for her clan, and after spending a short amount of time with the strong warrior, she accepted him as the father of her future kits, thinking that Whitethroat would be a good choice. However, once Shadeheart gave birth to a litter of five kits, three of which were female, Whitethroat's interest in his family dwindled almost immediately. He took care of the two males like a proud father would, but turned his nose up at the others. For what love was lost toward Swankit, Smallkit, and Darkkit though, Shadeheart surely made up for.

Two moons after the five kits were born, white cough struck AshClan pretty hard, turning into green cough with most elders and kits that had been infected. Unfortunately, two kits from Swankit's litter were claimed by the disease- Smallkit and her brother Smokekit. When Whitethroat found out that one of his fantastic sons had died, he blamed Shadeheart and the remaining she-cat kits for being, well, she-cats, and forever removed himself from the little family he had created. Swankit's mother was devastated from the loss of her two kits, but they themselves were far too young to really understand or feel the heartbreak. Her brother and sister continued on with their kithood for several more moons before they wer apprenticed.

Chapter 2: Swanpaw is not extremely attached to either of her parents. Obviously, Whitethroat wanted nothing to do with her and she feels the same way toward him. Her mother was never the same after her brother and sister died, but she doesn't spend much time worrying about her. She is fairly close to Cloudpaw and Darkpaw, but focuses much more on her training. She fears her mentor, considering that he is the one and only Feverstar, and strives to do right by him. Swanpaw is too young to worry about Suffragette business, and enjoys her apprentice training. She hopes to make a very good huntress of herself by the time her apprentice training is over.
