ABOUT ME
Appearance: Pantherleap is a solid black she-cat with piercing yellow eyes. Her coat is short but thick, allowing her decent protection from enemy claws. Pantherleap has a rather muscular build for a she-cat, causing her to sometimes be mistaken for a tom at first glance. Pantherleap's build causes her to be a strong opponent in combat, though she can be easily outpaced by a smaller, leaner cat when it comes to sheer speed.
Personality: Pantherleap is a cool-tempered but fierce she-cat. Pantherleap will typically try to take the high ground when someone attempts to pick a fight with her (as they often do- her resting expression is often taken as a glare by those who don't know her well), though, when pushed too far, Pantherleap will respond with cold anger. She will not attack cats from her own clan, though she will tear the pelt off of anyone from another clan who chooses to rub her the wrong way.
Despite her ferocity, Pantherleap has shown that she has great respect for the cats of MothClan, and she will do anything to protect her clan mates... even if they sometimes annoy her.
Strengths:
Athletic - Pantherleap loves anything that will get her blood pumping. Because of this, she trains hard and constantly, causing her to to be incredibly fit. She's very physically strong, though her heavy, muscular build slightly hinders her speed.
Ambition - In whatever she does, Pantherleap wants to succeed. When she puts her mind to something, she always means to reach her goal, no matter what it takes.
Strict - Pantherleap believes in the strict enforcement of the clan's rules. Like her former mentor Reedsong, she believes that the only way for the clan to raise strong, loyal young is to punish them when they break any rules, no matter their intentions. She especially holds this belief when it comes to her apprentices, as she refuses to allow anyone receiving her training to be anything less than obedient.
Weaknesses:
Irritable - Pantherleap has a low tolerance for unruly apprentices, kits, and warriors. If she dislikes anyone's attitude at all, she can quickly become testy.
Blunt - Pantherleap tends to tell it like it is. If anyone asks her opinion on something someone did, she will always answer honestly, no matter how "rude" that answer is. If she thinks that a cat acted stupidly in a situation, she isn't afraid to let them know.
Cold - While Pantherleap is, at heart, a pretty emotional cat, she tends not to show it much. This can be taken as either a cold strength or a lack of caring, as her clan mates often can't tell what she's thinking. Because of this, she can often come off as unfriendly, especially when added to her irritability and bluntness.
History: Pantherleap was born in MistClan as Pantherkit to Batfang, her father, and Cloverface, her mother. She was born in a small litter of only three, with her two siblings being named Toadkit and Mousekit. Unfortunately, Toadkit was born rather sickly, and he died merely days after his birth.
Pantherkit's kithood was rather uneventful. She spent much of her time either playing mossball with the other kits or listening to stories from the elders. When Pantherkit became Pantherpaw, her personality truly started to form. Her mentor, Reedsong, was a strict mentor who let none of Pantherpaw's kitlike behaviors slide- she was punished with chore after chore every time she even somewhat acted up, forcing her to mature quickly compared to the other, fun-loving apprentices. While Pantherpaw disliked her mentor at first, she began to appreciate her mentor's dedication to turning her into a well-behaved, well-rounded warrior, and she decided to look up to Reedsong as a role-model. Pantherpaw threw everything she had into her training and especially took a liking to battle training, where she truly shined. When her mentor wasn't training her, she was practicing by herself, soon developing impressive muscles from her efforts.
She finished her warrior training with flying colors and was named Pantherleap. Pantherleap spent her first moons as a warrior serving her birth clan, MistClan, as loyally as any other warrior, defending the territory against any and all intruders easily. However, when news of Mothmaw's separation from the clan to create MothClan reached her, Pantherleap began to feel a deep dissatisfaction with her life in MistClan. Pantherleap wanted to be appreciated and recognized for her strength, and she had heard rumors that MothClan valued strong, ambitious cats. After some consideration and tearful goodbyes, Pantherleap set off to join the ranks of the budding clan, where she quickly proved her worth as a warrior by defending its new borders with ferocity and determination. Finally, she was able to meet like-minded cats who loved the thrill of battle as much as she did, and she quickly made deep bonds with her new clan mates.
Now satisfied with her life, Pantherleap has dedicated her whole being to protecting MothClan, and has happily watched it grow stronger over the moons. Though it isn't her birth clan, as she was born long before its conception, she considers MothClan to be her true home.
(Needs to be updated to include tensions between her and Mousenose, a toxic relationship that caused her to no longer feel at home in MistClan.)
