## Appearance & Personality

#### Appearance

Petalpaw is a soft-furred, white and gray she-cat. She has long white fur with a large patch/stripe of gray running down her back and tail. There are three small, gray dots under each of her eyes, which are green.

#### Personality

Petalpaw is a gentle she-cat. She values herself above others and is often rather haughty when speaks to others. She's also rather cowardly and doesn't like getting hurt. She does genuinely like other cats' company though, and is working on her more annoying character traits.

## Backstory

#### Kithood

Petalkit and Thistlekit were born outside the Clans. Their mother, a loner named Tina, died when they were about five days old. Their father, Shard, was somewhat insane and often had visions that he thought were of the future. In one of these, he saw that, if his daughters were raised together, they would someday lead to his demise. Shard didn't like that, so he took one kit to each of the Clans bordering his mountain home, OasisClan and OrchidClan. He broke into camp, left the kit with the first cat he saw, and told the cat not to tell the kit or anyone else anything beyond the fact that she had a sister.

Petalkit was given to Lionspark. Lionspark didn't want to risk hurting the kit, so he asked Moonmist to look after her instead. Moonmist accepted the tiny kit and took care of her.

Petalkit grew up in OrchidClan. Moonmist only told her what Lionspark had told her: that somewhere, Petalkit had a sister. Petalkit didn't really care. She only truly cared about herself and, while she liked Moonmist well enough, she hardly saw her as family.

#### Apprenticeship

Petalpaw was made an apprentice by Leafshine. She was rather upset at the fact that Lavenderstar couldn't be bothered to give her a ceremony or even a mentor, but she tried to remain patient.

   When she was six moons old, she started hanging out with an older apprentice, Sprucepaw. They met when he was playing with a leaf and rolled into her. She was rather upset with him, because she thought herself above him for whatever reason. They got to talking and discovered that neither of them actually had a mentor due to Lavenderstar's negligence. Petalpaw suggested that they find a warrior or two to take them outside. Sprucepaw agreed and they happened to find two warriors, Heathermask and Violetfern, who were willing to take them out hunting.

After that, Heathermask pretty much remained Sprucepaw's unofficial mentor and Violetfern remained Petalpaw's.

Moonmist adopted a few other kits during Petalpaw's apprenticeship, including Lilackit, Dashkit, and, most recently, Badgerkit and Minkkit. Petalpaw took a liking to Lilackit in particular, enjoying his endless curiosity.

When she was ten moons old, Lilypaw mentioned that she smelled a fox. Petalpaw took Sprucestripe and his mother Frondmist and went to drive off the fox.

#### Warrior Life

Petalpaw became a warrior under the name Petalfrost. She definitely liked Sprucestripe by this point but, being a strict traditionalist romantic, didn't do anything about it.

I mean, she did make him a flower crown once out of daisies. Then he made her one out of lilacs. And they admitted to liking each other. So now they're "together".

Anyway, they went back to camp and Pansymoon made them babysit Badgerkit and Minkkit in her stead. They talked about siblings with Minkkit a bit and Petalpaw was all sad because she didn't know who her sister was. The whole situation was kind of ironic because Minkkit is technically her sister, but not the one she knows about.

#### Trivia

* Not to be confused with Fawnflower's mother, Petalleaf.
* Daisies symbolize innocence, purity, and new beginnings. Lilacs, depending on the color, can mean purity, innocence, happiness, tranquility and/or love. Did I know this while writing the roleplay strand? No. Did Dragon? Probably not. But what a crazy coincidence, huh?
