## Appearance & Personality

### Appearance

Epiphanypaw is a tall molly with a delicate build. She has long, wispy fur and slender limbs. Her fur is white and gray. The gray markings are found on her face, back, and tail. She also has some darker gray on her ear tips, tail tip, and paws. She has a band of white on her tail as well. Her eyes are a pale blue.

### Personality

True to her name, Pip is a creative and philosophical cat. She is quite intelligent and loves to learn new things. She does have an unfortunate tendency to overthink everything. She is very focused and diligent in most aspects of her life. Epiphanypaw values routines and finds change hard to deal with. She also craves a family or family-adjacent kind of love, as she lacked it growing up. She fears being rejected and/or hated and is a serious perfectionist. She is very practical and blunt.

## Background

### Kithood

Epiphanykit was born in HorizonClan to Gravelsprout and Blackbirdtalon, the only kit in her litter. She had six older siblings, two litters of three, all of whom were much older than her and mostly uninvolved with her. The older litter, made up of her brothers Frostcreed and Fadedburrow and her sister Finchflood, was 21 moons old at the time of her birth. The younger was 14 moons old and was made up of her brother Alderlark and her sisters Petrichormoth and Kitelily. Epiphanykit grew up with very sporadic visits from most of her siblings, as all but Kitelily had moved to other Clans and Epiphanykit was born during the deathcough plague, so cross-Clan contact was all but cut off.

Despite her siblings' absence, Epiphanykit probably could've had a perfectly happy (if stressful due to the plague) kithood if not for her mother's death. Her mother caught the plague when Epiphanykit was just two moons old and was moved to the medicine den to avoid infecting Pip. Gravelsprout died soon after catching the disease, which caused the already reserved and withdrawn Blackbirdtalon to pull back further from his daughter. In a matter of weeks, Epiphanykit lost both of her parents, one physically and one emotionally. On the upside, she could eat solid food and thus was able to survive just fine, but she was lonely and didn't really have kits her age in the nursery. She did have Kitelily, at least, but she didn't want to raise her sister and remained a less than consistent figure in Pip's life.

### Apprenticeship

* Apprenticed to Mudflame

*Upon starting apprenticeship, she was hesitant to get to know her mentor and trust them, scared that getting close to them would just result in them leaving her too.*

* 10 moons - Alderlark and Finchflood move back home

## Other

### Trivia

* Her voice is high-pitched, fluttery, and sounds younger than she actually is.
* Since I'm not sure I'll have a good place to put it, here's where all her siblings live/lived: Finchflood moved to FallClan for her apprenticeship, Fadedburrow moved to MarshClan as an apprentice, Frostcreed moved to OasisClan as a new warrior, Adderlark moved to OrchidClan as an apprentice (wanted to leave by the time he was a warrior but was trapped by the closed borders), and Petrichormoth moved to FallClan late in her apprenticeship.
