Cedarpaw

**Cedarpaw** is a chocolate tabby she-cat with green eyes. After being exiled from WillowClan as punishment for her and Birchpaw's suspected murder of Jaystripe, she resides now as a loner.

## Description

### Personality

Cedarpaw will be forever known for her worrying and anxiety; her signs were evident early and stayed true to today. Mostly, she worries about herself, and about those around her, and always seems to be shivering in some fashion. She seems to lack any sense of jealousy, and she is constantly preoccupied with her thoughts, more so than most. Her worst nightmare would be for her Clan to turn against her; these dreams keep her up at night, and sometimes her sleeplessness makes her seem like she's slacking off.

When it comes to relationships, platonic or romantic, she tends to freeze up; she's not truly 'close' with anyone until their relationship aligns with how she feels about Birchpaw. She also takes time to open up, as she's worried about the way other cats will take her. This tends to exhaust her, however, as she puts so much emotional energy into her worries that she manages to sleep quite often. She is also prone to snapping during some of her anxious fits; she tends to feel awful about that later.

Despite all of this, however, she remains strictly loyal and committed to doing the best she can. Although her worrying can mask it, she's a kind and empathetic cat underneath, and she is always at her best around her brother. In her mind, she wants to be on the best terms with anyone she can manage; however, she understands if that isn't possible. All and all, she just wants the best for everyone, no matter what that means.

## History

### Roleplay

**Cedarpaw** is an apprentice of WillowClan, alongside her twin brother Birchpaw. The two are seen sharing a piece of prey as she wonders about what happens when they're warriors. Some time later, they are called to the Gathering, and follow behind the rest of their Clanmates.

At the Gathering, she and her brother are seen with the rest of their Clan. They have a brief interaction with Spottedpaw, and her brother briefly apologizes for her anxiety-frozen state. After their exchange, they listen to Loststar, Swiftstar, and Redstar argue, and she asks her brother what happened. He doesn't know, but notes that it was something major, accidentally wondering out loud if someone would intentionally kill him and/or Cedarpaw. After Loststar warns the Clans to be prepared, they are seen huddling together, trying to figure out the meaning of it. Nonetheless, they return to camp under Quillstar's orders.

The following morning, she is awoken by Swallowpaw's pacing, later training with her brother. She is briefly pinned by him, only to declare herself the winner of their mock-fight as she throws him off. Not long afterward, she is given a mentor: Stormsong. She heads out to hunt with her brother not long afterward.

Upon returning, she takes a short rest before sneaking out to the apprentices' Gathering. She and her brother are briefly seen enjoying the Gathering before returning home. After overhearing Jaystripe mutter about the pair being rogues, she asks her brother if he thinks the older tom is trying to get them exiled, and he replies by stating that he thinks something is off about the warrior, and is annoyed that the tom would spread false rumors about them.

In order to clear her head, Birchpaw offers the opportunity to explore the territory for a bit, and she agrees and heads out with him. The two find a field of goldenrod, and she notes that with his knowledge, he might be able to pass off as a medicine cat's apprentice. He shakes his head and states that he likes being a warrior too much, and she tackles him into a thornbush before getting one in her paw.

They return to get goldenrod to treat her wound, then continue chasing each other through the territory, eventually crashing into some berry bushes. The two take a short look at their pelts before shrugging it off and resuming their chase. The juice dries on their fur, looking like blood, and the two return back to camp - just as Jaystripe's body is revealed to the Clan. She immediately begins to panic.
