Ladybugpaw

Template:The Four Clans cat template

## Physical Description

Ladybug is a selkirk rex with cream points, long curly fur, and blue eyes. She's quite chubby and soft, with a round face and a gentle expression. She has an extra toe on each foot.

## Personality

She's very sweet and self-confident, and has an ubpeat attitude that almost never fails. Ladybug tends to daze off, and finds it hard to really focus on anything- most of the time she's lost in her own little world. When she does pay attention, she's actually quite charming in an easygoing, welcoming way. However, she's childish and goofy, and finds it difficult to take things seriously. Not that she's happy all the time- she just doesn't know how to talk about her negative feelings, and pushes them away by making jokes. She does the same thing when other cats try to bring up their serious emotions, which leads to her coming off as a little oblivious when she's really just trying to avoid feeling sad. Ladybug has issues with feeling like she doesn't belong, and is generally quite insecure- she worries that her family doesn't actually want her around, that her clanmates don't believe she's good enough, etc- which is part of the reason she finds it so difficult to actually try at anything.

Lately she's been having issues with anxiety and controlling her temper, as well as shutting people out.

## Skills and Weaknesses

Ladybugkit's skills and weaknesses have yet to reveal themselves.

## Life

### Kithood

Ladybug was born to a kittypet named Winona in a small breeder's house in the twolegplace. Brokenrose, Swiftgaze, and Cherrypaw were all captured at the time. Winona saw that Brokenrose was pregnant and befriended her, asking her to take Ladybug with her when she escaped- she didn't think the kit would have a good life in the twolegplace. Before the clan cats escaped she asked Broken to name the kit Ladybug.

Brokenrose obliged, and from then on she and her mate Azrael acted as Ladybugkit's adoptive parents. Ladybug's young life has been fairly happy so far- her younger brothers were born a week or two after her, and while there were some bumps along the way she's made friends and is excited for the future.

At some point she took an interest in herbs, and began pestering Squeakdawn about medicine and healing. She's currently hoping to become the medicine cat apprentice.

Later on she befriended a young tom named Ivykit, and they began developing their own little clans- Ivyclan and Ladybugclan. They've also given each other a number of fake names including Ivystar and Red for Ivykit, and Ladybugstar and Rosy for Ladybugkit.

As she got older, Ladybugkit began to grow more anxious about certain things. She was still a vibrant, outgoing cat but she was also a little insecure. She felt like she didn't fit in. This feeling wasn't helped when Ivykit became Ivypaw and stopped spending as much time with her.

#### Apprenticeship

Ladybugpaw became a medicine cat apprentice. Unfortunately her father left right before it, and wasn't there to watch or to congratulate her. This devastated Ladybugpaw, and she had what was basically a mini panic attack before being calmed down by her mother.

She ran into Azrael later, and tried to convince him to come back with her before getting angry and refusing to see him again when he refused.

She spoke to Ivypaw soon after, who managed to cheer her up somewhat- but she ended up upsetting him later when she tried to talk to him about his own issues. They did make up, and became closer in a much more meaningful way.

However, it wasn't long before Ivypaw, Ladybugpaw, Mousepelt, and Morningpaw were attacked by a fox while out in the forest. Ivypaw was dragged away, and assumed dead. This, combined with Lakestar's death not long after, hit Ladybugpaw very hard and she became somewhat closed off and stressed. She hasn't been sleeping well, either.
