Swiftwing / Ivyclan

[bits]

Swiftwing Molly 61 Moons Questioning Ivyclan Warrior I'm Rambo, I'm Ramshack n/a Appearance Swiftwing, though named for movement and speed, is more of a fighter than anything else. She's a sturdy molly, well-muscled from her near-constant working. She's a little rough around the edges, her paw pads nearly entirely callused from movement and practice. Though a red tabby, she's almost entirely white, with her red coming out along her back and face. Her green eyes speak to her attitude and are often hard and without kindness in them - she makes no attempt to hide her distaste for things. Because of this, Swiftwing looks almost perpetually grumpy or irritated - resting ahem face is a good summary. Personality Swift is loyal to her clan and little else. While she tends to be respectful of authority (with one exception), she tends not to give respect where it isn't earned. She works hard at what she does and throws herself into patrols and hunting. She takes her duties to her clan very seriously, and despite her lack of personable qualities, she is very good at work. When it comes to relationships though, Swiftwing is remarkably terrible. She's impolite, blunt, and sometimes a little bit arrogant. It stems from a fear of emotional vulnerability, but she seems willfully ignorant of this fact. History Creekpaw, Foxpaw and Swiftpaw had fairly neglectful parents that didn't show much interest in them once they were apprentices so they were left to their own devices and raised by their mentors practically. But Creekpaw took their parents disinterest personally so he was desperate to keep his sister's close, as a result he tended to meddle with their friendships and be an all around bossy and atagonistic fellow; which they eventually began to have issues with obviously. So the two decided to just ignore him and go about their business after telling him off. Desperate to make amends Creekpaw followed Foxpaw when she went out on her assessment, having been told to track some old fox tracks to the den they use to be in, but Creekpaw's interruption caused her to not realize there were new foxes in the den. As a result both apprentices were viciously attacked and Foxpaw eventually died of her injuries after they were brought back to camp by the warriors who arrived at the sounds of their shouting and the foxes snarling. Swiftpaw blamed Creekpaw for the incident, and he blamed himself as well. Left in the medicine cat den he became a warrior much slower than others his age range including Swiftpaw who became Swiftwing. Swiftwing resents him, fully blames him and he's accepted the blame since it was his fault but he's not changed enough for her to forgive him. So the two don't talk at all and he'd love to reconcile with her but doesn't know how to go about it. Quoted from the adoption thread.  She was always fairly serious growing up. With parents that didn't care that much about the siblings, especially as apprentices, she found herself trying to take a more adult role in her own life. But conflict arose quickly with her brother's treatment of her and her sister. She doesn't take well to others trying to control her, and when her sister died, she stopped trying to care about people. Other Creeksong's surviving sister.
