Coalpaw

Coalpaw is a sleek black-and-gray tabby she-cat with green eyes.

## Personality

Coalpaw is a cat that most certainly shoots firsts and asks questions later. If someone's attacking her, then she sure as hell doesn't care much about her attackers - not as long as her and the cats close to her are safe (and, preferably uninjured, though as she's a bit of a realist she's not too disgruntled when a loved one *does* get injured). She doesn't care much for what other cats think about her, even if she's being insulted while another cat looks her in the eyes. She has quite a lot of bravado, intending to intimidate most cats around her to make them leave her alone or shut up and listen to her. Even though she tends to cover up her emotions with said bravado and plenty of confidence (and, rest assured, she has *plenty* of that), she is as capable of feeling them as any other cat. She has plenty of sympathy in her, and she often finds herself dropping whatever she's doing or putting herself in danger to help another cat - even though it might not be completely willing or happily on her part. Still, most of her emotions and what she feels is hidden under a few layers of cockiness. She doesn't have too much patience when it comes to others, and is completely willing to physically drag too-stubborn cats away so that she can yell at them later on. While she doesn't have too bad of a temper, she gets frustrated and annoyed quite easily; it's rare for her to actually be angry at a cat, but it's quite easy to find her grumbling under her breath or giving a cat a stern - possibly slightly too loud - reprimanding. She's a cat who improvises quite well, as she tends to think on her feet in almost all things and she reacts well in surprising situations (for the most part, at least). She doesn't ask too many questions and she tends to rely on her instincts more than anything else. If she sees a problem, then she'll go to fix it in whatever manner it needs fixing, and that's that. Surprisingly enough, she gets attached to cats pretty quickly. Most cats would think that this would conflict with a few of her other traits, but it's not as if he meets a new cat and is instantly their best friend. Give her a day or two to spend with them, and if she decides that she likes a cat, then she'll stick with them no matter what. Matching with that, she's the type to fall for a cat fast and hard, but she tends to keep that type of thing to herself and just assume that the other cat doesn't return her feelings. She's a bit protective, but not overly so, and she'd make sure that the cats she's close to are safe and happy at all times. The only cats she'd allow to do dumb things are her loved ones, however - as long as it makes them happy and she's there to stop them from getting hurt, then whatever. She's a kind of cat that would glare at another if they do something as simple as sitting next to her when one of her loved ones approach - since, obviously, that's what the spots next to her are reserved for, even if she doesn't care much when no cats she's close to are around. She's the type to be completely and utterly whipped for whoever she ends up falling for, going along with whatever they want and practically jumping to do whatever they'd ask of her.
