Larchtuft

❝ If something is truly important to you… even it's heart-breaking, even if it's sorrowful… you keep on trying and trying, even if you lose your life, you keep on protecting it with these two arms! ❞
— Kaiza, Naruto
Larchtuft is a solid dark brown she-cat with olive green eyes. She has long, thick and severely tangled fur, short legs, a voluminous tail, and several scars across her right flank. She is currently a warrior in SkyClan, where she was born and raised, and mothered two adoptive sons, Bumblepaw and Foxpaw.
==Appearance==
Heritage: Maine Coon x Somali(based on dark colored, thick fur and eye color) 
Description: Larchtuft is a near identical copy of her father, with thick dark brown fur and olive green eyes. Her short legs are her only notable resemblance to her mother. She was given the prefix "larch" for the color of her coat and the suffix "tuft" for the way her voluminous fur sticks up in messy clumps (not that she puts in any serious effort to tame it). Larchtuft possesses a smaller but muscular build, aiding her in resisting some heavy blows from opponents and propelling herself through the branches among her Clan's territory.

Voice: She has a warm, clear voice that is easy to comprehend and overall pleasant to listen to.
Scent: She smells of various plants and trees (prominently cedar and pine) with a hint of mint.
Gait: She makes her way around with a spring in her step, rarely does she sulk around. 
==Personality==
===Traits===
* +  Motherly - boop
* +  Dedicated - Larchtuft's loyalty to the Clan among all else is unquestionable. She has her rebellious moments, but she would travel endless distances and back to ensure the safety of her Clan is secure. 
* +  Outgoing - Larchtuft makes friends easily, and enjoys doing so. It's not an uncommon sight to see the friendly molly trotting around camp, introducing herself to newcomers and playing with the kits of the Clan. She loves being in the company of kits, especially. 
* ±  Adventurous - Ever since witnessing some of the embarrassing shows of discipline dealt out by Drizzlestar, Larchtuft has toned down on her rebellious side, but she still loves a good adventure every now and then. She still actively takes part in nighttime adventures, and finds joy in doing so.
* ±  Daring - Larchtuft is most well known for her boldness and love for adventure and excitement. She is rarely afraid to take any risks, but occasionally these rash decisions lead to trouble for the dark-furred molly. 
* −  Stubborn - When Larchtuft has made up her mind, she will stick to her decision, sometimes to the dismay of others. If she believes she is doing the right thing while everyone else opposes her, she will not budge or change her opinion in the slightest. She isn't afraid of being proven wrong; she will learn from her wrongs and learn how to make them right next time.
* −  Reckless - boop
===Likes===
*Climbing
**As a SkyClan cat, Larchtuft loves racing through the trees. She finds that she enjoys being among the trees than walking on land. She finds excitement in being higher up than cats in the other Clans. 
*Socializing
**Larchtuft is a natural social butterfly and thoroughly enjoys being in the company of others, meeting new cats and allies or friends, even in other Clans (she remains loyal to SkyClan, of course). 
*Stargazing
**On her nighttime adventures, Larchtuft likes to pause and admire the stars on nights with a clear sky. She feels a sense of comfort knowing that her ancestors are watching over her above, and she simply finds the night sky very beautiful. 
===Dislikes===
*Cloudy/Rainy Weather
**Larchtuft doesn't dislike many things, but she detests rain and clouds. She hates when the sun is obscured. 
===Goals===
*Raise a Family (in SkyClan)
**One day, Larchtuft would like to find a cat she can love and raise kits with. She will refuse to have any kits outside of a committed relationship. 
===Fears===
*Drowning
**One activity that Larchtuft will not participate in is swimming. She expresses clear dislike for large bodies of water such as a river, but she can tolerate walking in rain. Her fear of drowning may be traced back to the death of Larchtuft's mother, Hollyskip, who died by drowning in the river.
