10 moons | Shecat | Shadowclan | Medicine cat apprentice
"Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies."
A short appearance description goes here.
Appearance:
Fur
Sleepingpaw's fur is an ashy blackish grey color. Her fur looks like it was thrown into a bunch of ashes after a forest fire. The ghostly look gives her the slivery effect. She looks alot like a cloudy night sky. The fur on her face, paws and tail is darker then on the rest of her body. The rest has alittle white tinting out of the background. Her fur is fluffy, though she doesn't like it that much. She wishes that her fur could be shorter so that she didn't have to clean it ALL the time.
Body
Sleepingpaw is actually a thin she-cat despite fluffy coat that she has on all the time. She likes to eat but for some reason she doesn't grow bigger. Well onto a brighter note, Her tail is long and fluffy. Almost like a feather that she can tickle other cats with. Her legs are short so she can't exactly run long distances without getting tired out. Her body is short and thin making her not the best warrior type.
Eyes and other
First things first. Sleepingpaw is completely blind in both eyes. She was born that way. Her eyes would look a beautiful amber but they look a yellow grey because of it. Her nose is completely black and abit squished up against her face. Her whiskers, however are longer then usual, better for sensing. Not to mention her other senses are very very sharp, due to the fact that she is blind. Her claws are sharp, but very short. Good for getting mosses and collecting other types of herbs.
Persona:
Outside
What is seen of the blind she-cat? Well First thing any cat would notice is that Sleepingpaw is very kind to every cat. She doesn't like to see any creature in pain, no matter if its physical pain or mental pain, Sleepingpaw is always there to help out. She is a very calm and down to earth medicine cat apprentice which is a good quality for her to have. She is very smart when it comes to herbs and wounds/sicknesses. Its almost like Starclan helps her out with the unknown matters. Speaking of Starclan, she has a strong connection to them. It shows in the way she does things. Like hearing and smelling. She is abit shy around other male apprentices and quite shy around other clans, though she does speak up and take charge when she needs to.
Inside
What is seriously going on in this little kitty's heart? Well not much but there is a little shame there. She thinks that she's not quite good enough to be a medicine cat or a warrior because of her eyes issue. She does think about it quite alot. Even though she knows when people mess up or try to be alittle [secretive] around her. On the outside she makes it look like shes all good and everything is ohkay and what not, but on the inside it really hurts and she takes it to heart alot. However no matter what anyone says she will not let anything cats say or do stop her from helping others. Just as she is shy, she is just as determined and so tends to think some crazy things at times.
Truth or Dare
fear /fɪər/ [feer]
–noun
1.a distressing emotion aroused by impending danger, evil, pain, etc., whether the threat is real or imagined; the feeling or condition of being afraid.
What is this sweet little she-cat afraid of? Absolutely nothing except for being high up off the ground. For example, if she were to stand up on a rock or climb up a tree she would be terrified. She hates not knowing what is around her or not being able to stand stably. Especially over water. She will not walk across a long is she knows that there is water below her. She isn't afraid of water, she just doesn't like getting wet.
History:
Before his-story
Blackrose was a beautiful, stubborn, black Shadowclan she-cat was newly named when she started to hang out with the young tom Swiftfoot. Blackrose thought of herself as a best friend to him but gradually over time the tom found that he loved her. Now Swiftfoot may have been fast but he was one quiet and almost shy tom. He didn't know what would happen if he asked Blackrose to be his mate. He loved her but he didn't think that she loved him back. However on the other side of things, Blackrose was just waiting for him to ask her. She loved him also but she too didn't know how to say it without him thinking of it as too weird.
So finally one night before a gathering Swiftfoot left some wild roses that he found next to her nest. While he was at the gathering she found them and she just knew that they were for her. So when they got back there was a moment of silence before they both confessed their love for one another.
Its wasn't until a two moons later that Blackrose became pregnant. Blackrose was upset because she knew that soon she would have to go and sleep in the nursery instead of the warrior's den. She also didn't like the fact that soon she would be stuck in there for a long time taking care of some kittens. She knew that she was going to go insane if she was stuck in there the whole time.
Finally it was time for her to have her kits. She had three of them. Two toms and a she-cat. Two of them were black like Blackrose [the two toms] and the she-kit was a black with greyish white hairs almost over masking the black. The she-kit was named Sleepingkit because of her nightlike fur and later her blind eyes. The toms were Ravenkit and Maskkit named for their black fur. Though Maskkit was named for the black mask over his eyes.
Kitting
It took Sleepingkit the longest to open her eyes. Unlike her brothers who opened their eyes soon after birth. It took about two weeks for Sleepingkit to open hers. When she did open her eyes she was blind. This upset Blackrose very much. She wondered what she did wrong to deserve a blind kit. She adored the two toms even though she did try to leave the nursery quiet often. She left them with the other queens in the nursery. When she was in the nursery it took her alot of patience, that she didn't have, to feed Sleepingkit. She wondered what Sleepingkit would be when she was ready to become an apprentice. She didn't know.
Close to the age of 5 moons Sleepingkit was teased an awful lot by her brothers because she couldn't do things that the other kits and apprentices could do. She was the outcast of the litter. Though Sleepingkit didn't pay much attention to her brothers' foolish taunting. She spent most of her time exploring the medicine cat cave and asking Patchfur of the multiple herbs and dignoses.
One night Blackrose became very angry with Swiftfoot and so became angry with her kits. She was about to kill her daughter for being so useless but Ravenkit accidentally got in the way. The poor little tom died that night and sleepingkit had been by her brother's side as he slipped away. Blackrose was charged with murder and was to be banished and shunned by Shadowclan. The only one who didn't was Swiftfoot. That night sleepingkit had fallen asleep by another mother's side but in the morning she was sleeping by the medicine cat cave. Patchfur took this to be a sign from Starclan to allow her to become a medicine cat apprentice. Once Sleepingkit and Maskkit were of age, she became a medicine cat apprentice and Maskkit became a warrior apprentice.
Apprenticeship
Not much happened other then her father, Swiftfoot, died in a battle against Thunderclan and Her mother became very depressed. She wouldn't eat and so she died soon after. Sleepingpaw decided not to dewell on death but on life.
