GENERAL
Name: Swanpaw
Name Explanation: Well, I think it's pretty apparent why she was given this name, but if I must explain it's because of her white pelt, which resembles a swan.
Gender: She-cat.
Age: 10 Moons.
Clan: RiverClan.
Rank: Apprentice.
APPEARANCE
Body Type: Slender and petite.
Fur: White, with only the slightest hint of cream on her tail.
Eyes: Deep blue, wide and oddly shaped.
Markings: None but the soft cream dapples I mentioned on her tail.
Overall: Swanpaw has always been a standout, physically. Swanpaw's abnormally petite body is covered in a soft, duckling pelt, which is white with the exception of her creamy tail. Her eyes are a very deep blue, and always cautious, which suits her distinctive 'alert' facial expression. All together, she's a peculiar looking she-cat.
PERSONALITY
Positive Traits: Friendly, Optimistic, Easy to please, and genuinely Kind-Hearted.
Flaws: Superstitious, Over-bearing, Annoying, Clumsy.
Fears: Badgers, Snakes, Waterfalls, Drowning, Generally deep water of any sort, Dogs, Birds of Prey, and Two-Legs.
Quirks: Although many cats are appreciative of Swanpaw's positive attitude and aloof persona, she can easily become a nuisance to some warriors that prefer their solitude. She also is not the ideal hunter to bring along on a patrol, she'll be lucky to retrieve a mouse on the way home.
Ideals: Swanpaw has a way of finding good qualities in everyone, but she does appreciate a cat with good morals. Honesty and a will to care are idealistic traits in her book.
Overall: After Swanpaw teeters in, tripping over rocks or tumbling over twigs although still cheerily grinning, you have to smile at the adorable she-cat. Swanpaw is a bit of an oddball, but it's never hurt her chances of making a friend, or atleast attempting to. She's a friendly, happy-go-lucky she-cat who is only occasionally paranoid, particularly by word of badgers or snakes. Always willing to volunteer and put her best paw forward, although it's not excactly the favored hunting paw of RiverClan, Swanpaw is a pleasant she-cat.
HISTORY
Family: Whitenose ; Mother
Father ; Unknown
History: Swanpaw's mother was a loner whom lived outside of the clan territory for quite some time, but upoon kitting she decided to join the ranks of RiverClan for the safety of her future family. Therefore, Swanpaw was born into RiverClan and is enjoying it as of yet.
RP SAMPLE
Gullflight.
The she-cat had been deemed gullkit for her, at the time, white pelt flecked only with the slightest grey. Over time she'd grown into a sleek she-cat, her once pure pelt becoming dappled with silver spots, and she was affectionately known to the elders as Moondapple for her prominently beautiful markings. Yes, I said 'affectionately' and 'elders' in the same sentence.
Gullflight seems to spend alot of time with these elders, and she'd even grown fond of their light humor and the way their wisdom allowed them to take the world in stride. Gullflight did not despise the day she would be known as an elder, prideful even at the thought of being considered so wise and loyal to the Clan. It was all very appealing to her, and it would be for a cat with her qualities.
Gullflight had always been a mellow she-cat, much like her elderly companions. At first impression she more often than not comes off as skittish, because of her busy-body personality. Being so busy and yet being so laid-back are not traits you usually find in the same person, yet they are balanced in Gullflight. Majority of her busy-work is for others, which is a showing of her gentle heart.
Gullflight would never hurt another warrior, loner, or even a rogue unless the life of a beloved one depended on it. Chances were though, even if she wanted she wouldn't be able to. Gullflight is a frail she-cat, due to how often she is sickly. You'd think with so many reacurring illnesses, she'd have built up a great immunization by now, but alas, she has never been able to tolerate sickness.
It had never helped, though, that she was always insisted to do work that wasn't hers, always here and there, running about doing odds and ends for those who asked, and even those who didn't. Such tedious work is bound to wear a she-cat down, and the Medicine Cat has told her countless times that much more of this, and she wouldn't make it through leaf-bare.
Gullflight apparently has made it through several leaf bares in her twenty-two moons, and she intends to continue. Whether or not she'll be able to become an elder as she so much would like is something only time, and StarClan, can tell.
