## Physical Description

Driftspirit is a simple, small, soft-furred kit with round almost bat-like ears and a curled tail. She has sky blue eyes and stripes at the bottom of her legs that fade the higher up they go. Her build is skinny, but not tall. She has curt and thin fur with a pretty face.

## Personality

Driftspirit is a more introverted cat she doesn't mind a cat's company or engaging in conversation, but she also doesn't mind silence at times too. She keeps most of her thoughts to herself, picking her words very carefully when calm. Driftspirit isn't very sure of herself. She second, and third guesses herself often and doubts most of the things she does. She is open to making new cats, treating all with the same amount of respect, no matter the Clan, or lack of one. Driftspirit is also ambitious. Longing to be the best at whatever role she has in the Clan, and maybe even outgrowing those roles, to higher places in the Clan, like deputy or even leader. But Driftspirit isn't just hoping these come around to her, she knows and is willing to work for this, which makes her very hardworking, often doing above and beyond what she is asked to do. Driftspirit hates failing, both because she could not do what she wanted to and because she is afraid of what cats will think of her because of failing. She wants to impress everything, to make everyone good things of her. She also has a fiery temper, it's not easy to set her off, but when you do all of Driftspirit's sense will be thrown out the window, and she will yell, or even attack you. However, this doesn't happen often, since Driftspirit is pretty levelheaded, and not many things can set her off. Driftspirit is protective of her Clan, and those she has an attachment to and will do anything for them. Even if it would mean she would lose because of it.

## Life

### Kithood

Aluminum was born to Amethyst on September 28, 2021 (out of RP), along with her brothers Bronze and Topaz. They were very sickly kits and became every sick near their second moon. Amethyst feared their death, just as her last litter had died. So she abandoned them near the RiverClan border. Honeydawn found the kits, shocked that any cat would leave them and saddened when she found Topaz's body. So she adopted the kits, bringing them to the camp and settling them in the nursery. On the way to camp, she named them, Bronze being renamed Galekit, and Aluminum Driftkit.

Not long after joining RiverClan, Driftkit met another RiverClan kit, Woolykit. The two she-kittens became fast friends. Woolykit explained to Driftkit lots about how Clans and Clans names work along with showing her the painting the russet kitten had made on the nursery walls.

Not long after Beenose, Driftkit's adopted sister visited the nursery. Driftkit loved Beenose right away, admiration growing for the older she-cat. Beenose warmed up to the kit and gave her a jay's feather, just like the one Honeydawn(or Driftwind, not sure) had given her. Driftkit treasured this feather, tucking it onto the fur on her face.

- When she arrives at the gathering, she just relaxes for a bit. When ThunderClan arrives she searches for Bellicosevulture and sits next to him. Babblingbrook does their thing. In the chaos and the fear, Driftspirit shrinks to Belli's side. near the end, where things seem to be getting worse, driftspirit begs Bellicosevulture to run from the gathering with her and stay the night in one of their territories. Bellicosevulture refuses, saying he needs to see this to the end. So they stay. Babblingbrook leaves the gathering shortly after and Belovedhawk checks on her brother. Driftspirit leaves that gathering.

- Shortly after the gathering, Woolymeadow grows sicker, Driftspirit visits her friend, bringing her a vole, and Woolymeadow promises that she will get better and everything will be the same. Woolymeadow continues to get sicker until she dies in her sleep. Driftspirit finds in the morning and is destroyed, not letting anyone move her from her friend, littermate at heart's side. She's prepared for the burial, with Woolymeadow and spends the vigil beside her friend. When it comes time to bury her, Driftspirit does most of the work. Not letting any other cat help.

## Notable Quotes

(Please let me know if you remember any)

"I won't Otterchase! I will never simply attack a cat. Because I am not a monster! What does that make us if we spill blood over every little mistake? No wonder the Clans hate each other! I will never be the cause of unneeded bloodshed. I will never be the cause of war." - Driftpaw to Otterchase

"Don't leave me in the dust Woolypaw- please don't leave in the dust." - Driftpaw to Woolypaw

"Babblingbrook is going to start a war. I don't want to be here when the fighting starts. I don't want you to be here when the fighting starts. I don't want the fighting to start. Please- please- please- please." - Driftspirit to Bellicosevulture, begging him to leave the gathering with her.

"You promised!" - Driftspirit to Woolymeadow ('s body) when she found her dead.

"She can't breathe. She'll suffocate." - Driftspirit at Woolymeadow's burial

"You never think! You never think farther than your own whiskers Otterchase. You aren't a leader you can't think of anyone but yourself. I would make a better deputy then you, and I'm half your age. Blazingstar is a fool. He can't see his deputy is a selfish murderer." - Driftspirit to Otterchase, angry at the fact he brought greencough to camp.

"I miss them all." - Driftspirit to Honeydawn, telling her how she missed Woolymeadow, Beenose and Galepaw
