### Personality

#### Personality Traits

Skillful, perceptive, scholarly, admirable, aloof, easily discouraged, provocative, impatient.

#### Simple Personality

Pinkpaw is a skillful and scholarly cat who is very admirable because of this. She's very perceptive and gives good advice, but seems aloof at first. She's also easily discouraged, impatient, and provocative when upset.

#### Detailed Personality

Pinkpaw, despite her outsider origins, is a very good apprentice. She's skillful, from her mentor, and is a quick learner, so paired with that and her above average skill at hunting and fighting, it makes her a good apprentice and an even better future warrior. She's also very scholarly, excelling at every subject of her training, because she takes it very seriously. She doesn't like getting distracted or goofing off, and has a little fear of failing her Clan, so she trains as hard as possible, usually solitary or with Clearpaw. As well as that, Pinkpaw is also a very perceptive cat, having had lots of things happen to her in early life, she can give good advice, even if she isn't the best cat. Because of all of these traits, Pinkpaw is a very admirable cat and has a pretty good reputation in her Clan. But, with every up comes its down, and Pinkpaw too has her flaws. At first when you meet her, Pinkpaw seems pretty aloof, because she doesn't really know how to approach cats correctly despite being social. She can also be easily discouraged despite her perseverance in training, but this rarely happens because of her very positive mentor Sparkbounce. Pinkpaw is also impatient and pretty bad at waiting for people, often getting annoyed they can't be punctual like her, and she especially hates waiting on lazy cats. And lastly, Pinkpaw is rarely in actual verbal fights, but if she isn't already upset because of being discouraged, she's very provocative and knows how to push buttons and make people upset. Usually, her mentor and her friend keep her out of trouble though.

## Backstory

### Kithood

Dragonfruit was born alongside her brother Blackberry to her mother Strawberry and her father Bluebell. Dragonfruit was often the pampered princess of the couple's children, often taught strictly to be a little lady and to be feminine. Dragonfruit kind of hated it, but didn't object, because she knew she'd be heavily punished if she did so. Her brother Blackberry, on the other hand, was highly neglected and ignored because they were too busy being attentive to their only daughter.

At five moons old, Dragonfruit was playing with Blackberry after a rainy day, and Blackberry somehow managed to get mud on Dragonfruit's pelt. Since Dragonfruit was always supposed to be clean and ready for her lessons, her parents were very angered and beat Blackberry pretty hard. Dragonfruit didn't know this was wrong, as it was normal punishment for her (she'd always get a hit on the cheek or a cuff on the ear) so she didn't interject, but Blackberry was backed up near an edge and he ended up falling in a river. Her parents thought nothing of it, as they neglected Blackberry and didn't want him, but Dragonfruit ran in to save Blackberry and jumped in to try and save him, but surprise surprise, Dragonfruit wasn't taught to swim.

Blackberry and Dragonfruit washed up on the shore of a lake in WindClan territory and were taken in immediately to the medicine den, but the medicine cat was put in a difficult position. There were only enough herbs of the appropriate use for one kit, and since Dragonfruit was in the better condition and more likely to survive, they used it on her. Blackberry ended up dying and Dragonfruit was sent to heal.

Dragonfruit was upset to hear the news of her brother's death, but didn't want to go back to her parents, so she accepted the invite to join and was renamed Pinkkit. She was given to a random queen for the remaining moon of her kithood and made friends with a deaf tom named Clearkit. He was shy at first, but her adopted mother and Clearkit's mother taught her how to speak with him and they became good friends.

### Apprenticeship

When she was six moons old, guess who came marching into camp, looking for her, in the middle of her apprentice ceremony? It was her biological parents. Strawberry and Bluebell demanded to have their daughter back, but Pinkpaw refused to go with them, wanting to stay with her nicer mother and her friend, Clearpaw. When they wouldn't let up, Pinkpaw tried running off, but they kidnapped the poor kid and started to run off with her. The parents were tracked down by a search patrol, Pinkpaw was returned, and the parents were driven off. Pinkpaw was then apprenticed to Sparkbounce.

She ended up in the medicine den at nine moons old due to twisting her paw during training. She met the medicine apprentice, Stormpaw, and became good friends with him while she had to stay and heal.

Now she's eleven moons old and just vibing with her friends. She's almost ready for her final assessment and is stoked.
