Tree that Bends (Tree)

[silverfang218]

Name: Tree that Bends (Nicknamed Tree)

Gender: Female

Age: 23 moons

Sexuality: Bi

Tribe of Ancient Roots

Rank: Home-guard

Appearance: Tree is a pure black oriental she-cat. She has a long muzzle that fits perfectly on her angular face. Her eyes are deep green and take up most of her face; she has large, sail like ears. Her tail is long but thin, and her legs are long. Her body is very flexible, pointing back to her name. She has a wiry strength in her body, though she would be easily overpowered by a much larger cat. In order to fight alongside the other guards, she utilizes her agility, flexibility, and speed.

Personality: Deep down, she just wants everyone to be happy and healthy. She loves her tribemates and her family, though she often can seem a bit distant. Her tone often seems sharp and her words can be biting, particularly if she’s being sarcastic, though she never means to offend. She usually just doesn’t have a good understanding of how she sounds to others. She has a big personality, seeming almost larger than she is because of it. Because of this, she finds it difficult to make friends and often finds herself with cats that dislike her for reasons she doesn’t quite understand. Even so, any cat who gets to know Tree or comes to understand her will find her to be a loyal and compassionate creature. When a tribemate is in danger, she becomes a force of nature. Hell hath no fury like a home-guard protecting their clanmates, at least in this case.

Strengths
She is agile, flexible, and quick. In a fight, she can take down cats larger and stronger than herself due to being able to twist out of the way of attacks.

Weaknesses
She often comes across differently than she means to in conversation; on the flip side, she isn’t very good at reading cats and finds herself misunderstanding quite a bit.

History: Tree has had a pretty standard life up until now. She has a rather big family; she loves each and every family member to the moon and back, even though she isn’t very close with most of her siblings. Her name came from a memory; her mother recalled the sight of the forest after a massive storm. The storm's massive winds had blown over several massive trees, yet the smaller, thinner trees had escaped due to their ability to bend. The sight had struck Frond of Small Willow, and she admired the smaller flexible trees for their ability to withstand such a storm. It stuck with her so much that she decided to name a daughter after the trees, with the hopes that the daughter would be able to bend with the wind in order to survive life.
