Slitherpaw

== Description ==
Slitherpaw was a slender, thick-furred fawn-and-white tabby with green eyes and a triangular face.
== Personality ==
Slitherpaw was cunning, short-tempered, brash, and ambitious. She appeared confident on the outside, but felt insecure about herself in reality. She often bullied others in order to hide her vulnerability. She had a sharp tongue and a quick wit, and she was quite competitive. Despite her outgoing exterior, she was actually quite private about her feelings. Many knew her to be a very harsh critic, but she criticized herself most of all. Her self-image and behavior improved with time, however, and she ultimately turned her life around.
== History ==
Slitherpaw lived in CavernClan long ago, and in the beginning she was known by her clanmates as a bully. She lacked guidance and close relationships when she was young and fell under the influence of other mean kits, frequently getting into trouble for picking on other cats. Beneath the surface, she was lonely and struggled to make real friends, often forming very superficial relationships. After she became an apprentice, she became “friends” with Olivepaw, but Slitherpaw often put her down to make herself feel powerful. At the same time, Slitherpaw quickly became rivals with Shadepaw after publicly humiliating her, and the two of them would fight for a long time. Coalpaw had a crush on Slitherpaw, but she never reciprocated his feelings; she pretended to be out of his league, but in reality she feared showing her vulnerability.
However, as Slitherpaw matured and her existing relationships began to crumble, she began to discover that this behavior only alienated herself further, making her feel even more lost and alone. Rather than spiraling down onto a potentially sinister path, she chose to make an effort to change her behavior. She tried her best to form new relationships, and her friends were very patient and supportive of her, helping her to feel good about herself without acting at the expense of other cats. With their help, Slitherpaw developed more respect for herself and for her clanmates. Although she kept her short temper and sharp tongue, she became a much happier and kinder cat in the end. 
Sadly, Slitherpaw died of greencough before she could become a warrior. Long after she joined StarClan, she gave a future CavernClan leader, Lynxstar, a life of judgement.
