Cherrypaw

**Cherrypaw** is a cream tortoiseshell she-cat with petal-like patches and bright blue eyes.

## Description

### Physical

An essence of beauty, similar to her mother. Cherrypaw is dappled in intricate, petal-shaped calico patches of cream and black, some occasionally chocolate-brown that may point to the she-cat being a sable. Her fur is soft and between long and medium length, yet it flows with the she-cat as she moves, hinting that her fur is thin rather than thick. Unlike a burdensome heavy coat, Cherrypaw's fur doesn't tend to mat or knot- it's relatively easy to groom for its length, allowing the feline to maintain a pristine pelt at all times. Similar to her name, the young feline carries a scent that is sweet, likely due to the berries and flowers that she frequents. Her tail is notably feathered and flag-like, often carried in the wind as she pelts across WillowClan's terrain.

Although both of her parents were rather large, Cherrypaw's height seems to fall into a place that might be considered average for a female feral feline. Similar to her father, she is more on the skinny side with a somewhat wiry physique, although such a feature can be difficult to see due to the length of her fur. Cherrypaw carries herself on a delicate pair of small yet rounded paws covered in soft, peach-like fuzz. Although her coat itself is unique and appealing, her eyes are a feature even more striking. Her mottled face frames a pair of bright blue lenses that can be described as nothing more than the tropical sea: cerulean blues complimented by turquoise green.

### Personality

A testimony to her name, a cat that is pure of heart and mind. Cherrypaw is very naive and gentle-natured, but more often than not, she is not found in the company of her own kind. Instead, the "flower-child" of a cat can be found roaming among flowers and herbs, enjoying the comfort of the wildlife that surrounds her. She's a curious cat by nature, and although she is confident around her own kind, she prefers the tranquility of being out and about beyond camp. She has a deep disliking for political matters and debates, hence her tendency to linger around the territory.

She's a lovely feline to be around, but no doubt she can be taken as "air-headed". Cherrypaw is no fool when it comes to book smarts, so to speak, but she's not the greatest when it comes to street smarts. As a kitten, she always had an admiration for the medicine cats and a deep desire to become one of them, but she was never chosen by her ancestors, leading her to instead offer herself as a helping paw to collect herbs and assist whenever needed. Thus arose her helpful nature, a willingness to please her clanmates and aid them in any way possible. Abusing her kindness is easy- she won't see it coming.

## History

### Roleplay

Cherrykit is born as the only kitten to Birdsong and Eaglestrike of WillowClan. She spends some moments with her mother until she's approximately one moon of age, before The Pack and ScarClan suddenly launch an attack on camp. It is then that both her mother and father pass away defending their daughter and the nursery. From there on forward, Cherrykit is raised communally by the queens of the nursery.

Over the moons, she makes quick friends with Cinderkit, and if frequently escorted out of camp by Ashbreeze so that the two can pick flowers together. Cherrykit becomes passionate about flora and helping others, and decides early on that she wants to become a medicine cat more than anything else. However, she is fearful that, without a sign from StarClan, she can never become a medicine cat.

## Relationships

### Family

**Birdsong & Eaglestrike:**

Unfortunately, Cherrykit was never able to meet her biological parents. She has heard good things from her clanmates about them, especially her late mother who was originally training to become a medicine cat. The tortoiseshell takes pride in this knowledge and hopes to live up to her mother's title. Her father was particularly young, but she learned that he was slowly becoming a respectable warrior. She hopes to make them proud in StarClan.
