Gingerrose is an antisocial, shy, and nervous she-cat who tends to be quite worrysome of the few friends she has, but it's only because she's so caring. She overthinks a lot and is embarrassed fairly easily.

#### Detailed Personality

Gingerrose is an antisocial, shy, and fairly quiet cat who thinks she's horrible at communicating. She doesn't like talking because she isn't good at it, and tends to try and avoid talking about herself, or talking in general. Sometimes she overthinks about her problems and breaks down fairly easily over it, or fusses too much about her friends, but only because she cares about them so much. Maybe too much.

## Backstory

### Kithood

Gingerkit was born an only kit to a beautiful, elegant queen named Poppytail and a clumsy, joyful tom named Sprucefur. She was constantly smothered with attention and despised by the other kits, from how much attention and pampering she got, and this shaped her nervousness, self-conscious, and anxious tendencies. She worried about what others thought of her all the time despite her parents trying to get her not to. Poppytail, wanting a perfect daughter, was irritated by this, but didn't get onto her, because at least she was pretty. Gingerkit found that one kit, a golden tom who was very happy and outgoing, called Lionkit, didn't hate her. She was puzzled why, and wanted to be his friend, but her anxieties got the better of her and she couldn't bring herself to do it.

She grew to be a very pretty apprentice, but was still very nervous and shy.

### Apprenticeship

Gingerpaw was apprenticed to a golden tom named Laurelstep, an older tom who was similar to Lionkit, now Lionpaw in a way, so she took a liking to him even though she had an underlying sense of dread that he thought she was annoying, since she was always so self-conscious and not really confident of her abilities to hunt or fight. He wasn't though, and she learned even though she didn't think she was doing very good.

When she was eleven moons old, she realized she had gained a crush on Lionpaw, who had gotten older as well and had grown to be a strong, handsome, and kind lad who was getting pretty popular among WindClan. She didn't tell anyone though, because she knew he'd never like her back.

At twelve moons old, she passed her final assessment and became a warrior not long after.

### Warrior Life

Gingerpaw got the name Gingerrose for her pretty, rose-like stripes on her pelt. Her mother was satisfied with this name and her father was just happy she was a warrior. She continued crushing on Lionpaw, now Lionfoot for a bit, and somehow made friends with an apprentice called Flutterpaw, who was friendly, bright, and just downright wholesome.

When Gingerrose reached the age of nineteen moons old, Laurelstep was attacked in a patrol near Twolegplace where remnants of BloodClan warriors were residing in, and he didn't make it. She was sad, but got over it. She doesn't like bringing up the topic, though.

When she was twenty-seven moons old, her mother started trying to set her up with several toms to keep the bloodline going, and to have many relatives. Gingerrose, not interested in any of them, rejected all of them after very awkward hunting sessions and her mother began to get irritated.

When she was twenty-nine moons old, her mother finally snapped and confronted her about it, sending Gingerrose to tears and then leaving after yelling at her. Her friend Flutterpaw comforted her, and it made her feel a little better, but not much. The next day, she seemed a little better and they went on patrol together, and not much happened. They hunted and went back.

A few days after, Gingerrose was caught staring at Lionfoot by her mother. She was sent out by Poppytail to pursue her goal to become his mate, after he went out for a walk, and she instantly got nervous. Big oof.

### Additional (and sometimes random) Info

* Gingerrose's mentor Laurelstep was a meme on Lionfoot, which stems back from the original roleplay when Lionfoot was originally her mentor. She had a crush. On a grown warrior. And he did too, which was super creepy, and that is why they're both warriors.
* Gingerrose, when she was first designed, had a very bad design. She looked very ugly, and was eventually changed from a gross-looking calico to a ginger tabby, and I'm very happy with her current design.

*"I'm a lowlife. Dirt in the name of my family. No wonder no one wants to be friends with me. I'm so unapproachable and awkward. Mother's right."*
