lichenfrost/star
female| windclan | forty nine moons | warrior/leader
[/center]
Appearance
[ pelt ] it is pure black and very soft to the touch--think silk. she had no white marks or other colors, only black. however her nose is a lighter shade of other than that her entire being remains one solid color. it is usually seen groomed and presentable but not to the point of meticulous.
[ frame ] her body is lithe and packed with wiry muscles. she is taller than most cats but doesn't look very intimidating. in fact it looks like a faint breeze could tip her over. she also has a very long tail and petite paws.
[ overall ] she is considered to be attractive but in an odd sense. she isn't the typical beauty that most cats are used to seeing. her face in angular, her eyes wide, and her body thin but her most striking quality would probably be her eyes.
Personality
grudge holder - skeptical - witty - sarcastic - analytic - intelligent - crass - grim - competitive
loner || she likes to be by herself or in a small group of respected warriors. a lot of things irk her and so she chooses to detach herself from the things that irritate her. apprentices, for one example, annoy her to no extent. they're bratty or too eager to please. if one is paired with lichenfrost that apprentice has their work cut out for him or her. the she-cat is particular in her taste for friends and a very select few tend to make the cut. she just doesn't want to be burdened by trivial pieces of gossip, unless she gets to make fun of it, or hear about a queen go on and on about her future kittens. she likes intelligent conversations and intrigue.
reckless || the she-cat tends to think of the warrior code as a set of well-written guidelines. but if and when she becomes the leader she see knows that she wouldn't be nearly as strict as most. she thinks that starclan is a bit sexist when a male leader may take up a mate and have children whereas a female cannot. then there's the medicine cat rule. she wouldn't mind nixing that rule as well. if the clan fell under her leadership things would tend to change a bit but that doesn't mean wouldn't love her clan. she'd do what she could to make it safe and continue to make it prosper, but she can be a little reckless with her decisions.
closet romantic || in truth she'd like a mate and kittens (but if someone ever found that out she might cut their throat out). however her mate would have to be romantic and be able to hold his own against her. she doesn't want some pansy, she wants a real tom who will challenge her, who will fight with her, and then wind up in a steamy lock of passion. but for now she just likes to watch the handsome toms that parade around her camp.
History
[ her mother ] she only gave birth to one litter and it took her life. she didn't die during the birthing process but it left her very weak. however she managed to cling on for about a moon before she passed away. lichenfrost doesn't remember really anything about her mother other than her voice. sometimes she thinks she can hear it at night when she's all alone or right when she's about to fall asleep. lichenfrost never knew her but she would have liked to, especially since her father is a hard-ass. she often wonders how their relationship worked and if her father was any different before she and her siblings were born.
[ her father ] rowanfang, her father, is a hard ass. although he loved his children he wanted what was best for them and that meant practicing. he pushed them before they were six moons old to start training. games of moss ball became agility training, play fighting became battle training, and so on. by t he time they all became apprentices he would make them train after or before their own mentor took them out and they would rarely have a day off. lichenfrost never understood why her father pushed them so hard. it was because of his pushing that led to her siblings deaths (2).
rowanfang's dream was to have one of his children become the leader of windclan. he wanted to make something out of them and that determination never deterred. even when he lost two of his children. of course he was sad about it but he was proud of them and felt no remorse. he holds lichenfrost in high regards and practically worships the ground she walks on.
[ mousepaw and tinyfoot ] they were her siblings and she loved them. mousepaw, her sister, ended up getting sick in the winter and dying. she had practically no immune system and worked herself to death. she passed peacefully and lichenfrost takes comfort in that.
tinyfoot was a different matter. he was her brother and was the runt of the litter. he tried to make his father proud but it never came across. then one day a few moons after he became a warrior he gave up on life. he simply ran across the thunderpath and ended it. lichenfrost witnessed his death, she tried to stop him but she wasn't there in time to stop him from running. both siblings weigh heavy on her heart.
