Aspenberry

A mostly white seal point she-cat with black flecks and green eyes
[ Request Sdesc Update ]

A primarily white she-cat with pale green eyes and black flecks and along her body. As the flecks get closer to her face they become more distinct, almost looking like faint stripes on her face. The rest of her build is similar to common stray cats, with average sized paws and legs with rounded edges, though her eyes are more almond shaped. The end of her tail also has a small kink.

Aspenberry has keen senses and is known as a good problem solver, except when the problems involve her emotionally. Most of the time she presents herself as a quiet but friendly she-cat who is willing to chat if prompted, but only really initiates conversations herself with those she knows well. Despite her easy-going exterior, inside she has a strong sense of herself and what she wants, but struggles to truly express herself with others, leading her to feeling misunderstood sometimes. She is overly jealous of those around her, wishing she could have a better life, despite there really being nothing wrong with it. She keeps her envy too herself, but sometimes it can be noticed underlyingly when she talks. Strong relationships mean a lot to her, and she finds herself drawn to those she can form a deeper connection with. She is also quite the daydreamer, having her own set of fantasies which in times makes her upset about the real world. She struggles to grasp the fact that her life isn’t going to be perfect, and lets this take a toll on her, often ruining her performance in many aspects.

𝗞𝗜𝗧𝗛𝗢𝗢𝗗 ━━ Aspenkit was very curious, but was usually too scared to talk to others. She asked her father many questions, giving her a wide range of random knowledge. She behaved well, mainly sticking close to her sister and father. She was fostered by another nursing queen, Poppystream, as her mother died during kitting. She was born alongside Swankit, her sister, to Swanblaze and Rooknose. She loved Poppystream, and grew to see her as her mother, but Rooknose held a special place in her heart. Rooknose was devastated at his mates passing, but vowed to raise his two daughters the best he could

𝗔𝗣𝗣𝗥𝗘𝗡𝗧𝗜𝗖𝗘𝗦𝗛𝗜𝗣 ━━ As an apprentice Aspenpaw listened to her mentor well, doing everything the best she could. She desperately wanted to be recognised by someone. At some points there were times when she nearly gave up, as there were things she struggled with, but she made it through. She made friends with the other apprentices, and was known to get up to no good around the camp with them, though this was never anything serious, just your typical apprentice mischief. During her apprenticeship she made many strong bonds. Not long into their apprenticeship, Swanpaw died from greencough, leaving both Rooknose and Aspenpaw distraught. It seemed as though their family wasn’t meant to live. This brought Rook and Aspen even closer together, both ready to kill to defend each other.

She showed herself as a promising hunter, though her various internal struggles often left her unable to train for a few days, which overall delayed her training. These internal struggles involved days of almost psychological paralysis, consumed by her own thoughts and unable to focus on anything else. Rooknose suspected this was some way of Aspenpaw coping with her grief of loosing Swanpaw and worked with her to overcome her struggles. She earned her name slightly later than most much to her dismay.

During her apprenticeship, Aspenpaw could often be found with the other apprentices, gossiping or streaking off to some unknown part of WindClan’s territory. Spending time with her friends was her favourite part of her childhood, sitting together or playing within a secluded hollow while the wind gently rustled the grass around them.

𝗪𝗔𝗥𝗥𝗜𝗢𝗥𝗛𝗢𝗢𝗗 ━━ As a warrior, Aspenberry found she had more control of her life, and found that she liked to take wanders on her own, discovering a few favourite spots in WindClan territory. She isn’t as close to her friends as she used to be, due to going through a period of socially isolating herself, but she has been working on rebuilding her relationships. She is now a strong hunter within the clan, but lacks more on the fighting side. She is speedy and can act as a good decoy along with having good agility, but when it comes to raw physical strength, most can overpower her.

She still remains very curious, often asking out of the ordinary questions as to why something exists or what it is, leading to her having an interest in herbs. She does not want to be a medicine cat, and thoroughly enjoys her role as a warrior, but thinks it is useful for her to know basic medicine, and in general is just curious as to their different lifestyle. She also had shown herself to be very open at gatherings, happily socialising with other clans despite past grievances. She has a standard respect for leadership of other clans, but can often be heard challenging their decisions (just to herself of course, a simple mutter as to why she thinks its wrong).

Despite her friendliness towards the other clans, she does have a small history of battle. If they have done something wrong, and her patrol leader commands a fight, she will fight, though not obey orders blindly. She fights if someone has wronged her or her clan. Not if someone tells her to.
