Kitsune | Loner - Thunderclan | She-Cat

Kitsune (To be Named)

Age: One Cycle
Gender: Female
Rank: Loner (Aspiring to be a medicine cat apprentice?) (Thunderclan)
Clan: Loner
Short Description: Dark silver tabby with yellow eyes and large paws. Her back legs are deformed and twisted.

Appearance:

Kitsune is a beautiful silver tabby with wide yellow eyes surrounded by fine white fur. Her pelt is long and thick, good for keeping out cold chills and her muscles are clear and defined. In general she is a soft shade of grey with dark grey tabby markings that stretch across her shoulders, back and face. Her front paws are larger than normal and their pads covered in more fur but it is fine and does naught for the chill of the snow underpaw. Her ears, though pointed and well-shaped are notched badly, not from fights but from poor circulation.

Looking at her straight on would suggest a normal cat in many ways despite the unusual excess muscle in her forelegs but she has never been as the other cats, her back slopes downward and dragging along behind her are two useless hind legs and a tail that has no motion or feeling. From the hip down her body is frail and lacks even the slightest of muscle and her tail is unusually broad. Like her ears its tip is dry and damaged, even slightly balding though it is not noticeable through her thick fur.

Despite this birth defect she is strong, visibly so, with a well-built structure capable of long journeys. She runs no slower and climbs better than most and her pride is carried in her unusual walk for all to see.

Personality:

Kitsune is brave and fierce, showing no signs of defeat over the defect she has carried with her since birth. Where other cats have mocked her she has proven herself time and time again and she shows none of the hardships of her life. She is kind and gentle to those who deserve it and harsh to those who do not. She is no coward but she is no fool and life has given her wisdom few cats have. She fears for those she protects more than herself and her loyalties cannot be easily questioned. At times she acts younger than her age, playful and excitable to a fault but her strength, kindness and pride are there when needed.

Like all cats she has faults, sometimes not taking things a seriously as she should and often being too reckless or even too cautious. Starclan knows her heart is in the right place and she tries hard, learns fast and would rather die than betray or disappoint those she cares for. Often she is misunderstood or underestimated, both by enemies and allies. Sometimes this is a good thing and other times it is hurtful. She may be strong and bold but she doesn't like that so many expect her to be less than she is merely because she looks different.

History:

Kitsune was born as any other kit without any problems, she was raised mostly by twolegs fearful that her mother would not do her job but the she-cat was a fine parent and as Kitsune grew her mother taught her to hunt, climb and run just as her litter-mates. She matured slower than they did in many ways and the elderly she-cat allowed her to suckle far longer than the rest. As life moved on Kitsune found herself alone with her mother, each kit being carried away in turn until she was the last left.

She stayed in two-leg place with her mother, listening to all she could teach but when it became apparent that there was nothing more to learn from the sheltered she-cat Kitsune bid her farewell and left two-leg place.

She traveled far, passed thunderpaths and over streams, she fled dogs and children and caught food with no difficulty, she even traveled with a rogue for several suns and learnt of the clan-cats and strange beasts. It was then she made the decision to join them, or die trying.

She is not ashamed of where she came from, but she still would never tell a soul. If asked she would lie with no guilt, telling any who inquired that her mother was a loner and that Kitsune herself had never laid eyes on a two-leg closer than several meters. She isn't a clan cat and she does not know their ways well but she understands that a kittypet would be frowned upon, more so than a loner, or even a rogue. She refuses to give her name and when she finally approaches a clan she will ask that of them along with the chance to fight for them, or if she's lucky, become the apprentice to a wise medicine cat.

Kitsune is a pet of mine so I know how to play her realistically, you won't need to worry about her doing things she wouldn't normally be able to. Also, if I cannot make a non-clan cat as my first character I understand completely.

I've named her Kitsune for now as I'd like her to be named by another clan-cat, I love my characters more when they are named by others.
