Leafswirl's form is leanly built, formed for agility and speed rather than power and strength. She has an old, single scar on her right foreleg that she refuses to explain. Personality Leafswirl is most commonly paired with the traits of "fairness" and "justice". While true, she has much more to offer. The she-cat has a strong drive for loyalty and love for her clanmates, thus why she never left IvyClan. She is a passionate she-cat, strong in her beliefs (diplomacy, mediating, StarClan) and finds very little tolerance in those against her or disrespect those beliefs. Despite her size, Leafswirl has a sparkling personality and holds herself as a good role model to her children and younger warriors around her. When given no other choice, she fights just as hard with her teeth and claws as she will with her words. In her idle time she can be rather chatty and enjoys sharing tongues with her clanmates often. Keeping up on everyone's lives and checking up every now and then. She appreciates being someone who can be approached to with problems, and has proven to be a trustworthy friend to have. History Leafswirl was born at the start of leaf-fall to two IvyClan cats; Thrushcurl and Pinethroat. She was born alongside one littermate, Basilkit. Two loving parents and a healthy upbringing, the she-cat had not a worry in the world. She and her sister were scraps of boundless energy from the start and showed promise with how well they worked together. Often motivated by both of their parents with puzzling games to keep them on their toes. In the time of their apprenticeship, both sisters had shown excellence in different areas. Basilpaw was a strong she-cat, keeping up in power and endurance. Whereas Leafpaw showed promise in speed and agility, able to outrun most of the others. During their first battle, though, they had both underestimated their expectations. Both came out injured, Basilpaw taking the worst of blows while protecting Leafpaw. Despite the efforts to heal her, Basilpaw had gone septic overnight and was discovered dead the next morning. Heartbroken, Leafpaw secluded herself away from the other apprentices, feeling lost without her only littermate. She grew closer to her parents side. While unorthodox, they allowed her to sleep with them in the warriors den at night to keep until they had all grieved and were able to move on. With her parents support, Leafpaw was able to progress in her training again. She achieved the name 'Leafswirl' and continued her duties there on, keeping her sister close in memory. Within the next few moons she started catching the attention of another tom, Smokewhiskers. At first avoidant of his attempts at flirting and trying to get time alone, she eventually caved in. She began to learn more about the tom, and had grown fond of him rather quickly afterward. It was only a matter of time before she confided her feelings with him, and soon kits were born. Her first and only litter of three, which would soon turn her life upside down. Seeing Smokewhiskers prioritize their son over their daughters never sat right with Leafswirl. It seemed like no matter how many times she tried to bring it up, Smokewhiskers would ignore or deny her and continue neglecting his daughters. Push eventually came to shove, and Leafswirl broke it off with her mate. Raising her two daughters alone as Grizzledkit chose his father over her, she remained focused on her remaining family and Clan. Other Likes to keep tabs on Grizzledwolf often in secret. She still worries about him constantly and misses him.
