## Physical Appearance

Nimbusveil is a small she-cat, standing at a height of 8.2 in with stubby legs. She’s somewhat plump for her height, and has long, silky fur that contributes to her jolly appearance. Her tail is long, and fine, wispy furs give it a tuft. She walks with a bouncy trot, reflective of her ever-upbeat mood.

Her pelt, perhaps, is what stands out the most about this cat. Reminiscent of her name, it has curved stripes in many shades of gray similar to clouds down her back and carrying through the length of her tail. Her chest fluff and tail tip are a lighter, cream-like gray, and both feature a small heart-shaped mark. On her face is a unique pattern in the shape of a domino mask over her wide, sage green eyes. Nimbusveil’s eyelashes are quite long, similar to her pelt, and she’s stated before they’re her favorite of her features.

## Personality

In contrast of the name of her Clan, Nimbusveil’s personality is like a ray of sunshine. She’s quite the social butterfly, and finds it more recharging to spend time with others rather than to spend time alone. Often, she’ll be the one planning time to have fun together, or suggesting walks. She has no trouble striking conversation with a cat she doesn’t know, including cats outside ShadowClan. To some of her more strict Clanmates, she appears as a ditzy, careless cat. This is entirely unbeknownst to her, however, as she has trouble coming to terms with someone she likes doing wrong. Nimbusveil’s faith in character is unmatched since the first meeting, and can come across as naïvety.

Her mindset when it comes to rules is that they’re more of a suggestion rather than a demand. She’s incredibly lazy, always opting to do what sounds fun rather than what would be productive. Her influence can rub off on others and get them in trouble as well if she unknowingly pressures them into slacking off with her. Because of this, it’s wise for a working warrior to avoid starting up conversation with her.

Nimbusveil’s core desire is to be a role model for the younger cats and encourage them to just enjoy their lives and be themselves. She knows she’s not quite fit for this role, and her desire to become that is often what pushes her to do her duties. When a kit or apprentice comes to her for comfort or advice, she feels a great sense of pride and does the best she can to advise them — although it’s not always logical sensical advice. Often times, her suggestions are based more on emotion and what would help them feel better, rather than what’s best from a work point-of-view. She’ll tell apprentices to take a day off if they’re feeling overwhelmed, kits she’ll skip on her patrol to make them a new mossball, younger warriors to sleep late if tired — it isn’t practical, but it does seem to work.

Despite lacking strong work ethic and to some extent discipline, she’s a generally trusted and loving friend to all and can be an excellent mediator. While she doesn’t serve her Clan as much as she should in the traditional way, Nimbusveil definitely plays her part — her large heart for anyone and everyone is her most defining characteristic, and it certainly doesn’t go to waste.

## Life

[this is old and outdated and poorly written it'll undergo workshopping eventually]

Nimbusveil’s life was mostly normal. The cats who mostly shaped it into what it is today are her parents and dear friend.

Her parents, Primrosefrost and Vaporblink, were extremely caring and pampering. They raised Nimbusveil with lots of love in the hopes that she would go on to share that with others. She was quite sheltered from any news of devastation, never hearing about wars or rivalries between Clans, starvation, sickness, etc. As a result, her view of life in the forest was entirely positive, seeing none of the horrors that could occur. Even today, she takes bad news very hard, and rifts within her own Clan are absolutely devastating to her. She struggles to understand exactly why they occur, as she’d grown up thinking these situations would never happen. Nimbusveil is very grateful to her parents for all the care they gave her, as the one tragedy she understood from a very young age was within families.

Her closest friend since birth, Flourishingpaw did not grow up in as sweet a family as Nimbusveil’s. They trusted each other endlessly, and as a result Nimbusveil both saw and heard about straight from Flourishingpaw of her parents’ neglect. It was something Nimbus would frequently find herself checking in on and comforting Flo about, but the issue grew ten times more severe when their lack of attention lead to her younger sister’s death. Now in late apprenticehood, Flourishingpaw made the decision to leave in the night with her remaining two younger brothers. She told no one but Nimbusveil, and the two planned to help Flo escape together. Nimbusveil misses her greatly to this day and frequently finds herself think about it — without her influence, Nimbusveil likely would not care and look out for younger cats as much as she does today.

## Friends

Sequioaclarity (Mossie) — Nimbusveil became friends with Mossie after approaching her one evening in camp. They chatted about StarClan, and bonded over a shared experience of not having the strongest faith in it. She looks up to Mossie quite a bit, seeing her as wise, and enjoys their discussions about the afterlife together.

Coastshore (deceased) — Coastshore is a little younger than Nimbusveil, and the two bonded when Nimbusveil approached her and offered her a mouse she’d brought over from the prey pile. She’s aware of Coastshore’s timid nature and tries to hold her high energy back when spending time with her, in addition to looking out for her a little.

i'll add the others someday
