## Appearance & Personality

#### Appearance

Silkfur is a solid white she-cat with light blue eyes. She has a slight hearing deficiency. Her fur is very long, soft, and silky, hence her name.

#### Personality

Silkfur is extremely chill and soft-spoken. Nothing ever fazes her. Like... ever (except when her husband died. That sucked). She is the chillest cat ever. Very calm and relaxed, and pretty stoic, too. But she's sweet. She can come off as a bit insensitive sometimes, though.

## Backstory

#### Pre-Clan Life

She was a kittypet named Quinn for most of her life. She doesn't know her parents or siblings. She was mates with this other kittypet on her street, a charismatic young tom named Joel. They were pretty cute and cool. She and Joel would visit each other's gardens and stuff.

Or at least, they did. Until Joel got yeeted by a car on the street one day while on his way to visit Quinn. Quinn just assumed Joel had forgotten and thought it was her turn to visit his garden, so she didn't think much of it. She hopped her fence and started toward his house. On the way there, she passed the street. In doing so, she just so happened to notice the dead Joel in the middle of it.

Quinn was understandably very upset about this, and she just decided to up and leave. So she did that. She left twolegplace and realized about a moon later that she was pregnant. She didn't like her kittypet name and started calling herself Silky instead, as that had been Joel's nickname for her.

She travelled for about a moon, moving at a pretty quick pace in spite of her pregnancy. She just wanted to get as far away from twolegplace as she could. On one occasion, she was attacked by a weasel. It pulled off her collar before she was able to frighten it away. Then it ran off with the collar. So... no more collar. Silky was sort of disappointed by that, but she kept on moving.

#### Clan Life

Silky was eventually found by a FallClan patrol and chose to join the Clan, taking the name Silkfur. She moved to the nursery and chilled for a while, probably becoming friends with Drizzlesnow, who was also a pregnant queen at the time. She was content in FallClan, and finally started recovering from the loss of her mate, thinking that things might turn out okay after all.

After a couple of moons, she gave birth to her kits. The tom was very weak and frail from birth - when he was first born, in fact, he went several seconds without breathing before Crystalrock was able to revive him - but she named him Puddlekit anyways because Joel had always had an odd fondness for puddles, and she wanted to honor that. She named her daughter Turtlekit because her housefolk had owned a turtle and she thought they were cute. She thought Turtlekit was cute, too. It worked. She just vibed in the nursery with them for a while. She was a good mom and liked telling them stories about their father and about twolegplace. She was sort of overprotective of Puddlekit, though. She was also very fond of Drizzlesnow’s kits- Mallowkit, Mosskit, Shellkit, and Rainkit. And she was glad that her own kits got along with them.

Silkfur still worried about Puddlekit even once he finally managed to learn how to move around and talk, since he was considerably behind the other kits. She told Turtlekit about how he'd nearly died at birth, and made her promise to watch over her brother. Turtlekit vowed to do so, and Silkfur was able to relax a little. She had faith in her daughter and knew that she'd do her best to stick to her word.

Oh, yeah. Her kits became apprentices eventually. Silkfur decided to remain in the nursery, not thinking herself fit for real warrior duties. Turtlepaw was apprenticed to the Clan deputy, Stormclaw, and Silkfur thought that was nice. Puddlepaw was apprenticed to a warrior named Sorrelseed. He sucked at warrior training, though, and had a really hard time with it. He'd told Silkfur before that he wanted to be a medicine cat, but he'd been turned down because Crystalrock already had an apprentice: Seedpaw. Silkfur was somewhat miffed that her son had to struggle because Crystalrock wasn't willing to take on a second apprentice, so she tried to talk to Crystalrock about it. It had no affect. Oh well. She tried.

Less than a moon later, though, Crystalrock and Seedpaw both caught the plague and died. That was not good. Puddlepaw became the new medicine cat apprentice, and, uh... also the only medicine cat. Very, very not good. Silkfur was stressed out for her boi. She tried to help him out as much as possible, but he was a mess. She, Turtlepaw, and Mosskit - who was good friends with Puddlepaw - all spent a lot of time trying to assist him.

Speaking of that... Sunstriker - a pregnant queen who'd been confined to the medicine den due to having the plague - started giving birth before too long. Puddlepaw started panicking, as it was his first time dealing with that, so Silkfur came in to help. It wasn't enough, though, and Sunstriker died. Puddlepaw was devastated, and Silkfur did her best to comfort him. Since Drizzlesnow's kits were becoming apprentices in only a few weeks, Silkfur took it upon herself to watch over Sunstriker's: Frecklekit, Downykit, Warblerkit, and Seedkit, named by Puddlepaw after Seedpaw.

Also, Hurricanekit was brought into FallClan only a bit later, and she sort of kept an eye on him from then on, too. He mostly played with Drizzlesnow's kits, but Silkfur was fond of him. He - along with Drizzlesnow's kits - became an apprentice before too long, though, leaving Silkfur alone in the nursery with Sunstriker's orphaned children. Then, however, a HorizonClan warrior named Fireflyleap moved to FallClan. He'd been an old friend of Sunstriker's and he wanted to be there for her kits. So he hung out with them a lot. Silkfur thought it was sweet that he cared about them so much.

Before too long, Turtleheart became a warrior and Puddlespirit was given his full name by Weepingstar. Silkfur was extremely proud of her kits and she's glad they're living up to their full potential.

Currently, she’s just chilling in the nursery. She’ll chill in there forever, slowly transforming into Cedarpoppy, Skyflower, and/or Moonmist. She’s nowhere near their level yet, but with time, she may get there. Oh, and she is also still terrified of her children dying. Help?
