Snowfur

**Snowfur** is a beautiful, partially deaf, white furred cat with blue eyes. She is the current deputy of Iceclan.

## History

She was born to Dawnpelt and Widecall as an only kit during leafbare and was initially on the small side. Following Iceclan traditions, her name was given to her auspiciously on the first try, indicating a strong, steady personality and a bright future. She was chosen to be Dovestar's next apprentice after the leader noticed her ability to move almost unseen and unheard amongst the snow as a kit with no training.

Snowfur turned out to be a talented hunter but struggled greatly with fighting as an apprentice and a young warrior. Even as a deputy, she greatly prefers attempting to relax tensions before entering a fight, knowing her ability isn't as great as some in her clan, like Icewing or Froststar.

Froststar selected Snowfur as his first deputy for her diplomatic abilities as well as her extensive knowledge of their territory and her ability to utilize it to her full potential. She is excellent at organizing her fellow cats and though initially uncertain and unsure about leadership, has grown into it with the guidance of Froststar.

She took on Applenose as a mate and had her first litter of Lilacpaw, Coldpaw, and Creekpaw. She only abstained from deputy duties for two moons, with Heavystep taking over for her during her last moon of pregnancy and the first moon of her kits' birth. After, she spent as much time with the kits as she could but Applenose took over in the queen's den for her, doing the brunt of the day-to-day care for the kits.

## Personality

Snowfur is a quiet, diplomat, and serene cat. Little ruffles her feathers and she tends towards being serious. She struggles with imposter syndrome, though she tries to put on a confident air, and is unsure if she would be a good leader, should Froststar lose the last of his lives. She relies greatly on body language and the clan's version of sign language to communicate with others, increasing her insecurity especially in her position as a future leader. Within Iceclan, she is confident in her ability to communicate and lead her clan, as every Iceclan cat learns expansive body language and sign language, but this method of communication is sporadic in the other clans, especially Tideclan and Ivyclan who have the least amount of deaf cats of all the clans, with one born maybe every *decade* and only rarely have an elder go deaf.

## Relationships

### Froststar

Snowfur and Froststar are very close, with cats outside the clan sometimes speculating if they are secret mates. Spoiler: they aren't. However, like some mentees who have the same mentor, they share a close, almost sibling-like bond, with Froststar as an older brother figure to Snowfur.

### Icewing

Icewing is the warrior Snowfur is probably closest friends with. Both cats are either partially or fully deaf and it was Icewing who took over Snowfur's training when it came to learning to adapt to her deafness in combat and in other warrior skills.

### Applenose

Applenose and Snowfur are close mates who enjoy each others company. They have an easy, healthy relationship and were good parents to their kits.

### Littlesong

Littlesong and Snowfur are close and often go on hunting patrols together.
