Minnowpelt - RiverClan Warrior

[Petrichor]

Name: Minnowpelt Name Reasoning: Fur has a minnow-like pattern Gender: Female Age: 12 moons Position: Warrior Clan: RiverClan Capability Stats: Speed: 2/5 Stamina: 3/5 Physical Strength: 4/5 Mental Strength: 2/5 Strengths: Strong, kind, unquestioningly loyal, playful. Weaknesses: Dull, easily distracted, slow (physically), has her head in the clouds. Type 3 (RiverClan): Sleek, waterproof fur, expanded lung capacity, webbed paws, second pair of transparent eyelids, broad, flat tail, scales under fur, rudimentary fins and gills, and short, stiffer whiskers. Description: Minnowpelt is an average-sized she-cat with copper-colored fur, slowly growing darker at the top. Her fur is short and sleek, and her face is slightly pointed. She's not all that special-looking, really. Her copper eyes are almost constantly glazed over with boredom, when they aren't sparkling with kit-like joy. Her pointed face is almost always curved up into a smile, because she simply doesn't know how not to be happy. Her fur almost seems to shine in the water as she darts about, twisting and turning with the flow of the water. A shame she doesn't know what "beautiful" is. Personality: Minnowpelt is a special snowflake. Physically, she's not very special, but when you get to know her, you'll want to slowly back away. She's really nice, she's absolutely loyal to RiverClan, and she'll sacrifice everything to keep her loved ones safe. However, she does all this from the perspective of a kit. She turned into an apprentice and never really grew up beyond that. She knows how to groom herself, eat, and sleep, but she won't hunt or patrol unless some cat tells her to. It is for this reason that she is forever banned from ever having an apprentice. She makes terrible fish puns sometimes. Specific Moral Values: Make others smile. Be nice. Follow your leader, no matter what. (Alternatively, stick to what you know and don't touch the stove when it's hot.) History: Minnowpelt was born as the only kit to two RiverClan parents, a young queen named Dusksong who had been a prospect of Frosttalon's at one time. While Dusksong was young, she was a good mother, and cared very much for her kit. It was very clear from the moment that Minnowkit was born that she would be a happy, energetic kit. But Happykit sounded dumb, so Dusksong chose to name her child by the appearance of her pelt, which looked like a minnow's scales. Everyone's hopes were confirmed when Minnowkit first opened her eyes and began to play with the other kits in the nursery. She never seemed to run out of energy, and always wanted to play mossball or be RiverClan instead of WindClan when play-fights broke out. Minnowkit had to basically be dragged into bed so that every cat in the camp could get some rest. Dusksong was quick to teach Minnowkit the warrior code; to follow one's leader, to protect one's Clan, to feed the elders and kits first. Outside of the code, she spoke of being kind, being loyal, and being one to rely on. Minnowkit remembered these lessons. As Minnowkit grew, she spent less time playing and more time making sure that the other kits in the nursery were having fun, sometimes (read: often) to the point of being annoying. Her mother was proud of her, even though Frosttalon never seemed to acknowledge Minnowkit outside of whacking a moss ball in her general direction every once in a while, Dusksong told Minnowkit that she was sure he loved her in his own way. Six moons passed, and the time came for Minnowkit to become an apprentice. The ceremony was put on hold until the patrol Dusksong was on returned. Minnowkit didn't want to wait, but she sat proudly in front of the nursery until her mother would return home. That time never came. A sole warrior from the patrol, talon marks on his pelt, came back yelling about a particularly aggressive heron. Apparently an apprentice had seen a frog jump over onto the other side of the lake, and the patrol wound up in the bird's territory. Said predator was dead, but every other cat on the patrol was dead. Minnowkit's apprentice ceremony was held alongside the vigil for the cats who had died protecting their Clan. Something broke inside Minnowpaw's mind that night. As she lay down in the apprentice den for the night, another apprentice could hear her wonder aloud when her mother would come in and congratulate her like she had promised. Minnowpaw never spoke of her mother again outside of referencing her life advice, but she never grew up past that day. She was a good apprentice, a good hunter and fighter, if a bit slow physically, but it was made clear when her fixation on shiny things didn't halt and that she would never do anything outside of the bare minimum of life without orders that she would never truly grow up past that day. Nonetheless, she was a good apprentice, loyal to her Clan, and would do anything asked of her (within the warrior code and within possibiliity), so she was made a warrior. Minnowpaw was made into Minnowpelt, and she did her vigil like she was supposed to, even if she wiggled a bit more than she was supposed to. Minnowpelt has recently been made a warrior and is still trying to get used to the responsibilities. If you ask, she'll recognize that her mother is dead, but she doesn't seem to know what the word means. Minnowpelt is a kit in a warrior's body, and she's going to try her best to be the best one ever. Relationships: Lionstar - Leader, Frosttalon - Father, Dusksong- Mother Featured In: Halt!
