Name: Silverfang
Gender: Female
Age: 21 Moons
Sexuality: Bi
Clan: MistClan
Rank: Medicine cat
Quote: “Those whom you notice the least are often the ones that notice the most.”
Appearance: Silverfang is mostly grey, with white patches on her muzzle, chest/chin area, and both her hind legs; she also has small black stripes across her front legs. Her back and flanks have thin, darker grey stripes spreading out like ripples on a pond. Her coat is good for blending into snowy or mostly snowy surroundings, and her fur is long and fluffy to keep her nice and warm. She is a tad smaller than most of her clanmates. Her eyes are a dull blue color, but they are almost invisible while she is walking around as she walks with her head down, seeming to pay more attention to where she’s putting her feet than the rest of her surroundings.
She has a bad limp, due to an old injury to her left hind leg and it would seem like the old wound slows her down a bit and makes her less surefooted than most other cats (though she can still hunt and kinda climb, she is generally less successful in hunting and much less confident when climbing than other cats). She also has burn scars that spread across her hindquarters, particularly on her left side and hind leg; during the fire that destroyed both camps, her lame leg slowed her down which resulted with her getting caught in the nursery's destruction.
Personality: Silverfang has always been quiet and soft spoken, almost to the point of distancing herself from her clanmates; however, this allows her to observe and learn just by listening. She is always happy to lend a sympathetic ear to any cat with a problem or secret they need to share, and her quiet nature makes her a natural secret keeper. Silverfang has always had a strong connection to StarClan, giving her a great faith and respect for her warrior ancestors, even though she is coming to believe that not all their rules are wholly fair. Also, while her old injury makes her slower and gives her a limp, she tends to be a bit sharper than the average cat.
Silver has several quirks. One such quirk is the tendency to pace when she finds herself becoming bored or when being forced to wait for something, but she isn’t impatient; it is merely a tick, and it doesn’t seem to apply to hunting. She also walks, more often than not anyways, with her head down and her gaze pointed at her front paws. Silver doesn’t seem to walk into things most of the time as her hearing and memory are both excellent, but it does look a bit odd.
She has a major self image problem. Despite being the medicine cat, Silverfang often sees herself as worthless and blames herself for a lot of things that she had no control over. For example, as medicine cat she felt that she should have been able to save many of the smoke-poisoned cats after the fire yet she lacked the proper herbs to do so and they died. She felt that she should have been able to protect herself and others during the earthquake, yet instead she was forced to rely on a clanmate and feels that she held Nightfur back while escaping. In addition to that, Sootkit went missing during the quake; she blames herself for not being able to protect him too.
Strengths:
Intelligence and ability to learn quickly even just from seeing something done once.
Able to fight well in close quarters where her opponent has very limited mobility.
Weakness:
She is small and so is weaker physically than many of her clanmates.
Her leg makes her off balance and slow.
Hunting and fighting in an open area where her opponent can just move around her are difficult. One good strike to her legs is enough to knock her over.
History: As a kitten, Silver was always a quick learner, easily picking up things shown to her by apprentices and able to recall the stories told to her by elders (stories which she listened intently to). This made her an excellent apprentice… until on one patrol, one small misstep sent her falling off a small cliff. Her left hind leg was badly broken, and, despite the medicine cat’s best efforts, Silver’s leg never quite healed right; however because of that experience, Silver aspires to be a medicine cat, as she wants to be able to help others as the previous medicine cat helped her. The experience also landed her with a slight fear of falling, though it isn’t a major fear (it mostly just causes her to be a little uncomfortable when looking down off of a large height). This is why she often walks while looking down at her paws; she wants to be sure of where she is stepping so that she is less likely to fall again.
On another note, her mother was always very weak and frail, and Silverfang was her only surviving kit. Silver’s mother died after the event that broke Silver’s leg; the medicine cat at the time would have said that her mother died from the worry and fear for her kit. Her mentor, Nightfur, assumed the role of Silverpaw’s mother and helped her learn new ways to be just an effective a warrior even though she is partially lame. Silverfang continues to look at Nightfur like a mother and the two she-cats are very close.
Now, without any kits of her own nor any hope of having said kits, Silverfang has adopted Sootkit, an orphan she saved from the fire. The fire was a greatly scarring event for Silver, as she blames herself for each and every death. Shortly after the fire, she also died though she was given the choice to be able to return and took it, thanks to Froststar’s sorrowful cries back in the land of the living.
During the earthquake, Silverfang’s lame leg made it difficult at best for her to even stand. During the earthquake, she was helped out by her adoptive mother Nightfur, only to watch Nightfur be killed and revived by StarClan. Afterwards, Silverfang also realized that Sootkit had gone missing and he was assumed dead, until now…
((She is a returning character from CA and should have the swimming badge and the ability to understand twolegs))
