APPEARANCE: {shorthair chocolate torbie with odd-eyes}

Ripplefoot will retain a kitten-like softness to her fur, owing to Blossompool's own downy coat, and its short length will lend an almost velveteen texture. Though certainly a short coat, it seems made for the winter, being warm and dense, most notably on her neck and belly. In tone, her pelt is rich, autumnal mixture of dark brown, birch tree tan, and two-tone orange, with a leaf litter-esque pattern of tortoiseshell dappling crossed over by broad swirls of classic tabby striping. Her coat unbroken by even a speck of white, she would blend in almost perfectly with something like podzol or a pile of fallen browned leaves.

A notable patch of ginger across her face almost looks like a masquerade or sleep mask, framing and highlighting her eyes, of which the left is a gentle rainy blue and the right a bright, almost minty green. Under certain lighting one could almost see a dark, floral mark in her green eye, but this is likely nothing.

She has the delicate, feminine features of Longwing in her face, rounded out by her mother's genetic influence to be just a little sturdier, and lacking his distinct lankiness. Even so, she has a slight and feminine build, and it is fully on display thanks to her short pelt. She has a long tail and delicate but average size paws. She has slightly tall, pointed ears and a more wispy texture to the fur on her throat, so much as it can be for its length, as well as large round eyes to lend her a youthful and naive appearance.

Her nose is the color of red-velvet, and her inner ears are a duller shade of the same, while her paw pads match her nose but fade to black just under the fur. Her whiskers are long and droopy, black in color. Her voice is bright and joyful, and has an almost whispery quality to it even at full volume.

PERSONALITY:
{positive; playful, cheerful, get-up-and-go, "every day can be a good day"}
{negative; overly sensitive, clumsy, her mouth moves faster than her brain, unrealistically optimistic}

Growing up in a supportive, tight-knit family group in which someone was always watching over her did not ever inspire her to try to hide or find some private secret, but rather had the effect of making her extremely honest and open, as well as "people-oriented", enjoying company and liking to make new friends while also putting as much effort as she can into long-lasting friends and family. She can handle loneliness, but prefers to find company and maintain it.

Even once she loses her kitten stature and bumbling, Ripplefoot will remain a playful and youthful spirit, and has a fondness for children, with whom she tends to get along well. She never seems to lose her energy, always putting her paws to a task of some kind; in childhood this would be playing, exploring, bothering the elders and her family- in apprenticehood and on, this would be asking her mentor if there was more to do, and if not, if she could please go for a walk with a friend or three.

She has a lot of energy, but thankfully she's also pretty productive and proactive; the sort of cat to perform without being told or asked, even if it might get her in a little trouble. Optimistic to the point of daydreaming and idealizing, she holds to her heart her personal philosophy that even the worst day can have merit as long as she doesn't let it control her. Shelter can be found in a storm, and there's always the rest of today to right one's wrongs.

Her worst fault perhaps is her clumsiness, not just of foot but of mouth, too. She tends to say exactly what's on her mind with zero filtering at all, and not too infrequently bites her own tongue after because she realizes she's said something a little odd or perhaps even offensive.

Additionally, she's pretty sensitive, partially because of her supportive growing environment never challenging her too extremely, and will be very sensitive to being yelled at or told bluntly that she did something wrong. Her response to an argument would be to cry and try to throw a weak insult back before leaving to do something she feels is more productive.

HISTORY: 

Daughter of Longwing and Blossompool of IvyClan, alongside four sisters named Puddlekit, Dropletkit, Bubblekit, and Splashkit, in late summer.

She trained under the large but endearing Goldeneyes, earning her warrior name of Ripplefoot from Owltstar, alongside her sisters Puddleheart and Bubblefly.

Ripplefoot feels like an unofficial aunt or "big sister" to Goldeneyes and Maplestep's second litter of children, and when she later got to mentor Ocelotpaw, she was ecstatic.

Other notes; to become demigirl/nonbinary in warriorhood(may experiment with using "ey/eir" as pronouns, to avoid 'they/them' confusion), should remain involved in family due to highly present and involved parents, wants to have kids someday and is overall very romantic.
