## ✤ | Appearance

#### • Detailed Description:

Written by @-Regal-

With fur as feathery and soft as fresh moss, Dustskip is certainly not a cat you would miss in a crowd, with her amber tabby pelt being one that isn't as common as one might believe. She has classic tabby markings and low white spotting as well, with her chest, muzzle, legs and tail all carrying the pink-hued spotting. She has a silly smile that radiates with friendliness and olive-green eyes that promise kindness 'till the sun fails to rise in the morn. She is rather dainty and frail along with being slightly skinny.

#### • Genetic Code:

I currently do not know what Duskskip's genetic code is.

###### ➴ Accessories:

* Duskskip currently has no accessories, although she is interested in decorating her pelt with flowers of some sort.

## ✤ | Personality

#### • General Summary:

Positive traits: optimistic, friendly, confident. Neutral traits: social, honest, childish. Negative traits: foolish, stubborn, reckless.

#### • Detailed:

Duskskip is a positive and bright individual, usually wearing a smile on her face when one sees her and always seeing the good in everything. However, this kindness can be broken if someone were to make her angry and, in that case, she would never forget it. She would need to be convinced quite a bit in order to have her apologize or back away from her former opinions. Adding onto this, she is prone to bad events. Almost all of her actions are risky, and she rarely thinks about the consequences of her measures. It doesn’t exactly help that she lacks a moral sense of a being, often appearing dull to others. Although, it is worthy to note that all of these seemingly negative traits give her a sense of confidence in her abilities. This confidence aids her in socialization, something she does a lot. When socializing she acts amiable and friendly, mostly setting up for pleasant conversations, but it is also important to note her honesty, and while this can be seen as a good thing, she can also be brutally honest to a rude extent and therefore she might accidentally offend others. As you may have noticed in her kithood section, she hasn’t really aged. She still acts as childish as ever, often creating games for herself, or just being immature in general.

## ✤ | Life

#### • Kithood

(Out of roleplay)

Duskskip (known as “Dusk” at the time) was born to loner parents, both of which she loved dearly. Her kithood took place in the season of Newleaf, where she often picked flowers and did other activities with her parents. She looked up to both of her parents and strived to be like them. She does not remember much of this time, only that she regards it fondly. In general, as a kit, she acted similar to how she acts nowadays, almost as if she hadn’t aged a day.

#### • Apprenticeship

(Out of roleplay)

While her early apprentice aged life was pleasant, and a bit boring (due to her having no one to talk to besides her parents), later it all went downhill. One morning when her parents were gathering food, they went to drink water that happened to be heavily polluted. They passed away within the next couple of days. This left Duskskip not only alone, but she was now a grieving orphan. She lived as a loner for a decent number of moons, before deciding to join Thunderclan. When doing so, while she was still upset about the death of her beloved parents, her mental health increased drastically. She enjoyed being an apprentice and was eager to work hard. She believed that moving to Thunderclan was one of the best decisions of her life. However, later in her life, she started to believe that forgetting about her grievances would make everything better. Therefore, she began to try to not talk or think about anything related to her parents, which would greatly influence her coping mechanisms later on.

#### • Warriorhood

Duskskip bumps into Turtleflip, a warrior about her age. After Turtleflip apologizes for being the main reason they bumped into each other, they help Duskskip get the snow out of her fur. Duskskip and Turtleflip talk about the current season, and which season is their favorite. Then, they decide to go hunting together before stopping to talk about other's opinion of them.

Duskskip bumps into someone again, a cat by the name of Cederchar, and immediately start off badly. They start to argue about whose fault it was, when they have somewhat resolved it, Duskskip can't help herself and she calls Cederchar a jerk. Duskskip says a half-hearted apology, and then attempts to talk to Cederchar about her life, which Cederchar doesn't appreciate. Duskskip accidently says something rude once again, and due to the conversation being extremely awkward she runs away.

Later, she meets a kit named Freezingkit and they have a conversation about Freezingkit's sibling, then Duskskip introduces the kit to the concept of good and bad intentions.

Then, Freezingpaw becomes her apprentice! The two explore the territory and have a good time doing so. But a good training session goes bad when Freezingpaw hears about new kits in Thunderclan and compares them to herself, judging her own self-worth. The apprentice runs away into the apprentice den and begins to cry. Duskskip comes in and tries to comfort her, but it doesn’t exactly work.

For the third time, Duskskip bumps into someone. This time, its Saviordove. They talk about Saviordove's family, flowers, and their feelings on the weather.

Duskskip talks to Turtleflip, She talks about getting an apprentice, and then her and Turtleflip talk about if they have had met or gotten close to anyone new. Then Turtleflip suggests going into the water to swim. Unfortunately, Duskskip falls head first on the ground in the water, and due to previous experiences and the fact that she could of not gotten up and drowned, she is now terrified of water. Then they look for bugs, Duskskip accidently kills one when she takes it out in the cold, and names it "Coldleg" due to it freezing. She was at first interested in making it her pet, but this was later disregarded due to the fact that having pets (deceased or not) is not allowed in TFCRP.

After Bonechill urges her to make up with Cederchar, Duskskip attempts to apologize to the tabby. Duskskip explains why she acted the way she did in the conversation, and they realize they have a few things in common. However, Duskskip also gets extremely confused by Cederchar's use of sarcasm. While they weren't infuriated at each other like before, this wouldn't be a lasting thing.

Later, Freezingpaw runs away, which causes Duskskip’s mental and physical health to decrease quite a bit. During this time, she barely slept and brought up the fact that her apprentice was missing many times in conversation since it was on her mind so often.

Due to lack of sleep, she passes out when talking to a she-cat named Ferretscuttle. From then on, she tries her best to have a better sleeping schedule.

The leader of Thunderclan: Beestar passes away as well as one of Freezingpaw’s brothers.  Gorsestar becomes the new leader and Peonypath becomes the new deputy. Duskskip doesn’t have many thoughts on this, as she never met any of these cats. Although, she was excited about the new positions as it brought excitement to the clan. She also told Freezingpaw about her brother's death, which the apprentice was very upset about.

Duskskip was in a bit of a bad mood and wanted to take it out on someone. She wouldn't be searching for that someone for long. When Duskskip falls out of a tree, and see's Cederchar, she hides due to their awkward and unstable relationship. Cederchar snickers when she sees this. When Duskskip hears her, she starts to be overly aggressive to Cederchar. Even when Cederchar apologizes, Duskskip continues to provoke her. They start to exchange snarky remarks. Cederchar finds the situation funny, and while Duskskip doesn't exactly feel that way, she does find arguing with Cederchar rather exhilarating. They insult each other's choice of prey, and Duskskip claims that she is better at hunting than Cederchar is.

Duskskip and a few others witness the death of Bonechill due to him falling from a tree. While she had barely talked to the tom, she was horrified by the fact that someone could die in that way, especially since she was a huge fan of climbing trees and it was her favorite hobby. She tries to convince herself to “stay positive” and doesn’t allow herself to feel upset about the loss, as you can see this toxic positivity themed mindset is taking a toll on how she handles grief.

She has a conversation with Sunhopper about Bonechil's death. Sunhopper points out that Duskskip probally won't fall from a tree like Bonechill did, and Duskskip becomes less afraid of it, although she still doesn't climb trees as much as usual. Then, the two cats collect feathers and flowers.

Duskskip goes to the gathering, where a feline named Babblingbrook begins to suggest overthrowing the leaders and replacing the current system with a democracy of some sort. Duskskip talks about this with Sweetcomb, a cat who she has a rather friendly relationship with due to both of them having an enjoyable conversation earlier. The both of them agree that there is no reason for the current system to be replaced. When Gorsestar and Babblingbrook fight, she has no idea what to think, but her view of her leader decreases a bit since attacking a pregnant cat is against her beliefs, and she didn’t know that the attack was accidental. In the end, she decides that while she is a loyalist to the current system and believes that everything is fine the way it is and if she stays happy about it everything will get better, she definitely understands where Babblingbrook is coming from and doesn't think that they did anything wrong.

Duskskip and Larkswoop search for pebbles to decorate, before discussing current events. They both agree that a revolution is not necessary.

Duskskip's friend, Sweetcomb, dies. She begins to be in worse moods and is reminded of the death of her parents.

Duskskip has another conversation with Larkswoop. The two of them talk about the recent battle, their favorite types of flowers, and make flower crowns.

Duskskip's apprentice, Freezingpaw, becomes a warrior. Her warrior name is Freezingtoil. Duskskip also attends a few more ceremonies and enjoys them wholeheartedly. At these ceromonies, Peonypath becomes Peonystar, Bunnyblitz becomes the new deputy, and Sequoiatower becomes the second-in-command deputy.

Duskskip and Turtleflip have a conversation. Turtleflip shares her crush on Bunnyblitz, and Duskskip states that she believes that that Bunnyblitz will feel the same way and urges Turtleflip to tell Bunnyblitz about her feelings. Duskskip shares that she has been pushing away her feelings, and Turtleflip tells her that she shouldn't do that. At first, Duskskip is hesitant, but since this is the second time someone has told her this, she decides that her toxic positivity isn't a good coping mechanism. This realization makes her mental health to be much better than before. Duskskip also briefly tells Turtleflip about the revolution, before realizing that it was getting late so says goodbye to Turtleflip.

Duskskip speaks to Larkswoop briefly, and she attempts to pet a baby bird since she finds it adorable, which Larkswoop advises against. In the end, he was right, as Duskskip almost fell of a tree due to being scared away by the baby bird's mother.

Duskskip gets a new apprentice! Her new apprentice's name is Giddypaw, and Duskskip looks forward to training her.

Larkswoop passes away, Duskskip is extremely shocked and upset about her friend's death.

Suddenly, rats take over the peninsula. Duskskip and others have to run away to the gathering space in the middle of the night. Duskskip has no idea what is going on at first, and she is extremely scared.

Giddypaw and Duskskip start their first training session.

One day, Duskskip decides to go swimming. She had been feeling more confident about going in the water, and she wanted to get over her aquaphobia. But when she gets in the water, the branch of a tree falls over her and causes her to start drowning. At first, she tries to escape, but she soon discovers it isn't possible. In her last moments, she thinks about all of the cats important to her in her life.
