Bloompaw

***Spoiler warning:** Plot and/or ending details follow.**"...."*
**Bloompaw** is a long-furred grey tabby molly with yellow eyes.
**Bloompaw** was born to Valleystar and Torrentfocus alongside her sister, Tansykit. The two were raised in Sunlit Prairies and taught well, finding friendship in their older brother, Applebreeze. When Tansykit came out to her before any of their other clanmates, she gave her endless support, giving the molly the confidence to come out to the rest of her clan and kin. Later on she lost her brother, with Valleystar passing soon after from greencough. While the two heavily grieved the loss of their kin, Dawnstar stepped up to assume leadership.

## Interests

*Likes*

She enjoys laying in shaded areas and likes the coolness of being underground. Tunneling is a big love of her’s. She also likes rabbit, lining her nest with something soft, helping others, and hanging out with her sister.

*Dislikes*

She dislikes her own emotional explosions, often apologizing profusely after the fact, if someone witnesses it. She also dislikes cats who take advantage of her quietness, death, getting her fur wet, and the smell of too strong herbs.

## Skills/Faults

*Skills*

She is a personal cheerleader and will always support and motivate the cats in her life. Her broad shoulders and healthy muscles make her an excellent digger, so being a Tunneler comes easy. She also has an easy time keeping secrets if asked, making the she-cat a great confidant.

*Faults*

Her emotions have a tendency to overwhelm her and leave her incapacitated, especially during a tragedy for the Clan or her personal life. Her shyness is a hindrance to making friends and speaking up for herself. While she is a good Tunneler, she’s not very coordinated with her movements and is a semi-hopeless hunter and fighter.

## Personality

Bloompaw is a very sincere cat and will go out of her way to make another cat feel better. She doesn’t want to see anybody sad or downtrodden and will do small things or gestures to make them feel better. The only problem that gets in the way of this is the gray she-cat’s shyness and introverted nature. She is easily intimidated by cats she doesn’t know at all or well. The pressure of being a descendant of a great leader also hangs over her head, causing the feline to cling to the shadows to avoid not living up to it. She found comfort in the tunnels this way, and also as a clinging burr to her sister’s greatness and ambition. This isn’t to say Bloompaw doesn’t work hard and shine in her own way, she does, she just tends to be embarrassed by praise. You can count on her being endlessly kind and friendly despite her shyness. She also feels deeply about things.

## Detailed Appearance

As a Maine coon mix, Bloompaw is bigger than a majority of her peers, but still smaller than her larger sibling. She won’t stop growing, however, until she’s close to 24 moons old (2 years). Her fluffy fur disguises her body into a slender form, but strong muscles lie beneath the softness. Particularly, her front and back legs have a lot of strength. Her pelt is a stone gray with a few darker tabby stripes, mostly around her face. A cream color compliments the areas around these stripes as well as swaths down her legs. Her chest, muzzle, front paws, back paws, and half-way up her back legs are white. Her long, feathery tail is almost starkly gray. She has white tufts at the top of large ears, as well as long hairs coming from the interior of her ears. Her nose and paw pads are pink. Finally, Bloompaw inherited the bright yellow eyes of her father, Torrentfocus.

## Kin

## Backstory

Bloompaw and her sister Tansypaw were born in the third litter to Valleystar, a former leader, and her mate Torrentfocus. She was fairly joyous as a kit, playing and growing a close bond to her sister while spending most of her time with her father, Torrentfocus. She hardly noticed the small absence of Valleystar, as the Clan’s leader took care of her duties and left the rearing of the kits to her mate. When she was four moons old, Valleystar stayed away from camp for two days, leaving Bloompaw confused and frightened as a kit. The reason behind the absence of both her mother and father was made clear when Valleystar returned with Torrentfocus’s body, having died from an adder bite at Hinderland Coast. She had developed a sweet relationship with Torrentfocus and was devastated at his death, her emotions bubbling up in extremes. This death was only the first in her support system crumbling around her. Next came Applebreeze when she was six moons, her half-brother that she idolized and often sought out for his kindness and friendly attitude. Originally, Bloompaw had thought she might be a moor runner, wanting to follow in his pawsteps. But her lack of speed and bulky body structure made her more fitted to become a Tunneler trainee. Half a moon later, as a young trainee, she lost her mother Valleystar to greencough.
