Shade of Aspen Leaves - Rootclan - She-Cat

[Deleted]

Shade of Aspen Leaves (Aspen/Aspenshade) She-Cat 24 Moons Heterosexual Rootclan (Tribe of Ancient Roots) Warrior (Prey-Hunter) "There's good in everyone... you just need to know where to look" Genotype (i'll attempt this later) Appearance Aspen is an Old-Style Lilac Point Balinese.She has light lilac coloured fur with darker grey markings on her face, ears, tail, and paws. Her fur is somewhat fluffy and she has calm blue eyes. She is somewhat small, but her fluffy fur makes her look somewhat wider than other cats of her age..  Personality Aspen's delicate sounding name is well deserved, her delicate flower of a name contrasts her personality perfectly; as she could be described as a delicate, innocent, and beautiful she-cat. Her emotions are on display at all times for those around her to see, and she often lets them get the better of her. Driven by her heart, rather than her head. However, she's striving to prove that she can be a noble and powerful warrior and defend herself. She wants to prove herself to the parents who were never there. She's a little nervous at times, not knowing what to say and not knowing what to interject into certain situations. She prefers to remain passive, often cowering under the more senior warriors to herself and allowing them to sort everything out. After all, they probably know better than her, right? She's often scared to speak her own opinion, scared that someone will snap at her or call her opinion stupid. Her weaknesses, well, she's a little too trusting. She believes that all warriors and other cats are good at heart and that they would never intentionally do anything to critically harm or wound another cat. This is wishful thinking, considering that clan wars and deputes over territory can often lead to the deaths of those around her, but she still stands true to her trust. As such, she has a friendly disposition, especially to those in clans besides her own. She's kind, helpful, and will go out of her way to help others. Her view is to always put others before herself, as that is the warrior way. She is certainly not as stuck in the ways of the old tribe as some of her other clanmates... but she prefers her old name over Aspenshade. Some have attributed her "soft" disposition to the fact that she is not completely of Rootclan blood. But she dismisses this as old cats being stuck to their old ways.  She's friendly to her clan mates, going out of her way to help the elders and often seeing if anyone else needs help with their duties. She tries to stay on the leader's good side, as she hopes when more young kits arrive that one of them could be an apprentice for her. History Aspen's life began suddenly, and without warning. Her father, an unknown tom, presumably an outsider that had wandered too close to the tribe; and her mother, a lovely balinese she-cat who prided herself in her appearance and fell pregnant after a brief fling with this tom. She was heartbroken, and when it came time for her to bear her kits; she gave birth to just a single kit. Who she walked out on immediately after kitting. Where did she go? no one is really sure, but it's been said she was so angry at falling pregnant and breaking the warrior code (and disappointing her clanmates) that she left and became a loner. Her newborn daughter was pushed in with the rest of another litter and allowed to nurse from another queen who had recently given birth. The queen, Sun Before the Storm (Sunstorm), adopted Aspen as one of her own and she was raised with her own kits. Aspen was a playful young kit, she adored her foster siblings and her assumed mother. She often spoke about what would happen when she became an apprentice and talked in length about how great it was going to be to be a Home-Guard. Her 'siblings' were equally as enthusiastic, often play fighting with the young she-cat and tugging at her tail. After all, she was the only female in their 'litter' as far as her foster siblings knew. She was meek and rarely got into trouble (unless it was getting an ear-ful from the elders for annoying them). She was told from a young age that her real mother had left and it was unknown where she was. But this did not deter the young cat, it actually made her stronger in the long run. Aspen became an apprentice, and although her mentor was relaxed and laid back, the thought of being a Home-Guard; now being able to see what exactly happened first hand, terrified her. The violence that she witnessed made her shake, and made her mentor question if she was actually cut out to be a Home-Guard. Her mentor, worried about her progress brought up to the clan leader that maybe her training should be pushed back or maybe she would be better suited to be a healer apprentice. The leader expressed disdain at this option, believing that the young she-cat just needed more training and it was just early jitters. Aspen's mentor, Ashes Scattered in the Wind (Ashwind), however, believed that this was a bad idea.Nonetheless, Aspen continued to train. Gradually, Ashwind began to admire the tenacity to get better that the young she-cat showed. He shifted her training in the direction of being a prey-hunter. This suited her much better than the previous training of being a Home-Guard, and she took to it far better.  While being forced to flee from her original home due to the devastation, Aspen lost her adoptive mother, Sunspots. Aspen was devastated by the loss of her adoptive mother. And although she has mostly assimilated into clan life, as a final act of rebellion she clings to being called Aspen or Shade of Aspen Leaves over her new "proper" clan name.  Now, as a fully fledged Prey-Hunter in a new home. Aspen looks forward to getting her own apprentice at some point. However, what she wants more than anything is to become a queen and have kits of her own. Other Anything else that doesn't go elsewhere on the form - e.g. items used, future plans for your character, etc.
