Pricklefur

## Basic Information

   Pricklefur is a small brown she-cat with a small, fluffy/prickly tail with small tufts of prickly-looking fur all over her body. She is a short-haired cat, has mud-colored fur with brownie-colored ears, muzzle - that stripes up past her eyes to her forehead, underbelly, tail - which has a mozaic-ish tabby pattern, and one toe with a splash of light brown on the rest of her paws, ear fur, and above the nose, and bright icy blue eyes. Prickle's body type is long, streamlined, with big, webbed paws and hooked claws.

## Personality

Pricklefur is about as prickly as she looks. She can get very defensive, and is quick to rage. While she is the type to lie about everything, Prickle won't lie if it benefits her in some way. Because she's an outcast, and nobody really interacts with her unless needed, she's been looking for a cat who will use her for something, at least, since everyone in RiverClan tells her that she will never become a warrior. If she trusts someone, she will fight for them (Such as, taking blows that other cats aim at them, etc) until she drops dead or unconscious, for better or for worse.

## Kithood

As a kit, Pricklekit wasn't necessarily hated. She was loved by RiverClan, many played with her and praised her. It changed when she grew older, nearing apprentice age. Her gorgeous, fluffy fur hadn't grown in, and it never would. Instead, spiky tufts of fur appeared, giving her a spiky appearance. The only thing fuzzy about her was her short-ish tail. This made the more judgmental RiverClan cats tell her that she wouldn't be able to swim, since longer fur kept them warm as they swam the cold currents. The only thing she'd be good for is shore-fishing, the nickname she received was "Drypaw", since "she would never swim." Despite the meaning of the insult meaning a cat who dislikes water, Pricklekit loves the water very much. She taught herself how to swim in a little pond on multiple occasions, mainly to get her to be resistant to the cold temperatures of the water.

## Apprenticeship

As an apprentice, Pricklepaw was a little more experienced as a swimmer than the other apprentices, mainly because of her practice as a kit. Now that she was older, the other apprentices and even some kits began to judge her for her short, unsightly brown fur, since "she was older, and should be able to just brush it off." No one was really there for her, and had begun thinking that no cat would ever become friends with her. She decided it was best to live a life alone, and had driven every RiverClan cat away from her heart. The only cats who can gain her trust now is her family, and anyone other than RiverClan, who had basically disowned her for not being like other cats. She begins seeing signs of Frenzyclaw, who had died and possessed her as a quick host. Kits were most vulnerable, and she was the first kit she had seen. Pricklepaw would hear whispers, from Frenzyclaw no doubt, telling her to go places where Torrentcreek often goes so she can re-unite with him, in a new body. This will also give Pricklepaw a purpose in RiverClan, since her mentor and the other warriors refused to train her, since Torrentcreek had offered to train her personally. While Torrentcreek most likely doesn't know how to fish or swim, Pricklepaw makes up for it by teaching herself the RiverClan way of fishing by observing from afar. As she trains and meets up with Torrentcreek, she feels trust for the cat who helped her in her dark times, and agrees to do anything he wants in return.

## Warriorhood

Pricklefur had been promoted, surprisingly, because of Torrentcreek's help, and because of her self-help as a younger cat, observing cats and then re-doing it in her own way, teaching herself. The RiverClan cats who had said she'd never make it were astounded, most angry, but could not speak out since her father was the RiverClan leader. Of course, this did not make it any better, since the judgmental cats struck when Marblestar was not looking. But Pricklefur didn't care, and didn't bother reporting it. "It wouldn't help, it'd make it worse!", she'd tell herself, enduring the harsh words. Torrentcreek continues to be in her life, and Pricklefur follows him loyally, like a guard dog. She will do anything Torrentcreek says, anything to spite her birthclan who had disowned her just because of her "impractical looks." Frenzyclaw still whispers sometimes, guiding her through her life. Pricklefur just spends the rest of her days, mainly either sitting in a corner of camp, hissing at anyone who dares approach her, or following Torrentcreek around like a servant.
