## Interests

*Likes*

One of Velourmoth’s favorite things to do is to sunbathe. She doesn’t really have a specific spot, though she favors the Origin of Spring, it is quite out of her path to go there just to rest. But when she does have the opportunity, that is her first pick. Particularly, Velourmoth loves lots of thrills in her life. Taking small jumps even though they’re unnecessary, not necessarily recklessly, but sometimes a shot of adrenaline is a good flavor to add to the batch of routines. She will also tend to loooooove sitting and hearing about other cats’ stories, it’s definitely up there with things she’ll do while she has free time.

*Dislikes*

Velourmoth absolutely despises big bodies of water. She can’t swim and is terrified of drowning because of this. So she and Water don't really get along. The she-cat doesn’t hate pollinated flowers, but she doesn’t like them much. They’re pretty irritable on the nose, so she tries to stay away from them. With that, blooming seasons aren’t, particularly her favorite. Neither is when the weather is frigid. Technically when there’s tons of snow, it’s basically like padding around with soggy/drenched paws every time you take a paw-step out of a den, which frankly is kinda jittery to her.

## Skills/Faults

*Skills*

A lot of her strengths can be tied to raw power, she’s got a very hefty sense of combat knowledge and techniques. While being on the slimmer side, she has incredibly harsh blows with her rather big paws, even if her claws themselves are on the duller side. Velourmoth’s confidence is also a huge blessing, it lets her do things that many others are too scared to do most of the time. She makes sure everything is in check and is an excellent worker just because of this. Taking risks she knows will come out in glory, with her very diligent and specific mind, Velourmoth is a great asset when it comes to heavily complicated situations. This a huge pro to the she-cat, but she’ll take great measures to make sure the cats of the clan stay safe.

*Faults*

…There is an underlying sense to this though... She rarely lets it show on the outside, but usually, there’s a huge amount of anxiety that runs through her paws. She’s constantly alert and overthinks a lot. For a cat who acts quickly with efficiency, she tends to get very overwhelmed at times. Her clumsiness is also a huge flaw that tends to tank down her performance, though when she’s clumsy she is swift to make up for that action, it can be sort of wild to watch. There also is the issue of the burned back right leg, it doesn’t cause a limp but it does have great pain and is easily infected. So, she tends to get burnt out pretty quickly. Oftentimes, her judgment can be clouded though. Velourmoth, for being such the grand cat she is, will pull wild stunts if she knows they’re for the good of the clan. She’ll have these plans in her head, and they always will work, but the steps will sometimes seem bizarre, and the way she throws her everything, including her own life, is almost concerning. She….. also can’t swim and is frankly terrified of water.

## Personality

Velourmoth is a fairly chill she-cat who tends to usually be slightly strict, but never invasive. She’s really good at just observing, usually telling exactly who somecat is by observing their behavior. She tends to be very involved with most things she does, usually not hesitating to do tasks that others find disgusting. Though, she does tend to get very carried away sometimes and ends up meddling in things she’s not supposed to. She ends up being a very fearless and brave cat who loves to have action in her life—being diligent, mindful, and swift with her actions. She’s ambitious but clumsy, tending to go a bit overboard all the time. Other personality-wise, she’s very kind and giving. Almost overly. She tends to be hella nosy when it comes to other cats’ business, which is a slight flaw of hers. Velourmoth also kinda really likes things to be perfect, not like the urges of a perfectionist, but she does like to be tidy. Otherwise, she’s super extroverted and can be the life of the party. Though, she does have very very pushed-down regrets and anxieties, even if she doesn’t show them.

## Detailed Appearance

A very large fluffy cream-brown she-cat with a stocky yet well-built physique. She has amber-brown eyes that seem more lively than the color itself, always burning with a fiery passion. The she-cat is covered with beautiful cream browns mixed with dull browns that braid around her pelt. She has a very beautifully luscious and soft tail that tends to drag along behind her as she pads around. Her back right leg has a nasty scar that gnarls up from her toe-beans on her paw to her hind, it’s not an incredibly deep one to cause a limp, but it is present in its ugly form.

#### Scars Recieved

Below is a list of all the chronological major injuries/scars Velourmoth has recieved;

* Massive burn-scar that stretches the length of her hind right-leg. Though it is not an injury that causes disability and is rather a scar, the place will never grow fur back and is prone to infection.

## Kin

Mother: Ferretleap

Father: Ptarmigancall

Siblings: Unnamed siblings

## Backstory

Velourkit grew up alongside [unnamed siblings] under their mother Ferretleap, who was a widow at the time of their birth. Their father, Ptargimancall, had been killed during Ferretleap’s carrying, so the kits never grew up with a tomcat. In Ferretleap’s grief, she loved her kits, but she tended to ignore them and space out often. Because of this, Velourkit learned from a young age how to do certain things without being taught. When she’d become a trainee, Velourkit had often visited every place in the camp. Not standing for only learning one thing, she was always very interested in every role the clan provided. Everything was well until Velourpaw wandered a little too much into a business that didn’t include her, by following a Sentinel’s patrol, she got into an accident after wandering off from their trail. She doesn’t remember clearly how it happened, or what exactly burned her, but she remembers waking back up in the medicine den alongside Ferretfang & the medicine cats who worriedly waited for her to wake. The damage done to her leg was minimal, but there was huge guilt tied to it for a reason she doesn’t quite know. Velourpaw was then named Velourmoth after training heavily with her sentinel mentor, nothing much happened after she was named a sentinel.

## Trivia
