SQUIRRELSPRING
male ,, seventytwo moons ,, warrior ,, mothclan ,, asexual
appearance:-
squirrelspring is a reddish-ginger tom with darker mackerel tabby markings and a white tail tip. in his later years, his fur has started to become a grey colour around his muzzle. one of squirrelspring's most noticeable features is his bushy tail, giving him the appearance of the animal he was named after. squirrelspring is an average sized cat for one of his age, however he is slightly less muscular and a little chubbier than most due to his previous lifestyle, along with a Nick in the top of his ear, a sign that he was neutered. his pawpads, nose, and inner ears are all pink and his eyes are a leafy shade of green.
personality:-
most noticeably, squirrelspring is a very energetic cat, another trait he was named for- he enjoys exploring, long walks and runs, and hunting for fun. overall, he's a kind guy who is interested in making friends and speaking to others. however, he is secretive and often uncomfortable to share his past and opinions as not only is he afraid that he will be discriminated against for his former life as a kittypet and his lack of religious belief, but he doesn't want to bring up memories of past loved ones as he knows they will upset him. he is also slightly manipulative in that one of his main enjoyment about being in a clan is that he can get other cats to do things for him.
abilities:-
squirrelspring's best ability is stamina- it takes a lot to tire him out and he could probably run around the territoryuntil midnight if he wanted to. he is also a decent hunter as it is an activity he has practiced for sport throughout his life. however, that's about it as he lacks fighting skill due to a lack of training and lacks endurance as he never needed it as a kittypet. all of his other abilities are equal to those of any other cat.
history:-
the earliest moments of squirrelspring's life were not happy ones as he was born a loner to an already dead father and a mother who died shortly after giving birth. however, thankfully for him, he was way too young to even realise that anything wrong had happened. he was also very lucky as he was found by an elderly twoleg woman not long after who adopted him alongside her husband. they gave him the name 'ginger'. the twoleg couple nursed him to adulthood, taking him to get vaccinations and shots that would keep him safe from disease. they also got him 'fixed', which he wasn't too happy with at the time.
the twolegs raised ginger on a farm during his younger life, where he explored and hunted mice for fun, allowing him to remain independent and active which he enjoyed quite a lot. they lived there for many moons together, however, the couple eventually started struggling to care for the farm and had to move away, taking ginger with them. ginger didn't understand the reasoning behind their move and didn't really enjoy the new house as there wasn't even a garden for him to make his own territory. however, he remained loyal to his twolegs and continued to live with them until, alike the farm, they struggled to care for him too... ginger needed more free space to roam and explore like he had growing up and, without this, often found himself attacking household items and running around the house for entertainment and to use excess energy. the twolegs didn't want their beloved pet to be acting like this, so he was adopted by their daughter, a woman he liked, yet had only met a few times.
ginger's new house with his new twoleg was pretty much what he had wanted, there was a large garden for him to call his own territory and plenty to do. however, he never had the same relationship with his new twoleg as he had his old ones and started to become distant and more of a wanderer. before he knew it, he was spending most of his time away from his twoleg and found the independent life of a loner much more thrilling than that of a kittypet. so, he decided to become one, renaming himself 'squirrel' to cut off any ties with his previous life as a kittypet...
but of course he found a flaw with being a loner: leaf-bare. as a kittypet, he was well cared for in the difficult season, but as a loner he had to fend for himself. this turned out to be way too difficult for him and he set off to find anywhere or anyone who could help him with the same difficulties in the future. this is how he eventually found mothclan- a newer clan who seemed in need of warriors. squirrel took this as the perfect opportunity to find a new home and requested/offered to join the clan, earning himself the rank of 'warrior' and the name of 'squirrelspring' for his energetic spirit.
