Rainwillow

## Appearance

Rainwillow is a very small and thin cat with blue-grey fur. Their very small ears are lighter than the rest of their fur, just like their paws and tail tip. They also have a lighter, almost white-grey spot on their chest. Their very bushy tail is a weird contrast to the rest of their sleek fur, so they often try to 'fix' it, by constantly grooming it.

Rainwillow is littered in many small, almost invisible scars, courtesy to a haunted childhood on the constant run. Most of the scars are covered, and only very few are immediately visible; there's a scar over their muzzle, one of their ears is minimally torn, and a long scar goes down their behind leg.

Their eyes are green-amber, although more amber than green.

## Personality

Shy and polite, Rainwillow will hold back and say the 'most appropriate' things in any social situation on their first meeting. They will always continue to be polite, no matter how close they become with someone. They aren't exactly a people-pleaser (cat pleaser?), but their natural and learned amount of caution has got them to the point where they try to be more polite than themself.

It's hard for them to let other cats in, to actually let them see the real Rainwillow, but if they do, they're nice and funny. They have a little bit of a temper, or more like enough to sometimes be sarcastic and insult cats, but more often than not will immediately creep back into their shell and apologise (it's a circle; and another reason they don't easily let cats in).

Due to the long time they spent alone, they have developed two habits: one, they often mumble to themself under their breath, on the other hand (paw?) they can listen to any cat talk for a very long time, without ever giving any of their own input. It's not exactly a good character trait, since cats sometimes will just assume that Rainwillow agrees with them, even if they don't. (they should really learn to stand up for themself)

## Backstory

The first nine months of Rainwillow's life were hellish. Their father left before they were even born, leaving their mother and, later, them and their sister alone. Shortly after, their mother left as well, and their sister vanished. Rainwillow was alone ever since, wandering from here to there, hoping to settle down somewhere, or simply survive.

Most cats that Rainwillow ran across treated them cruelly, and if they ever stayed longer they never truly fit in due to the gender roles and everything in each group- simply look at other Clans and systems where often female's roles are just "have children". Rainwillow never liked those roles, and were never sure about what they were. After a while they finally realised they were neither male or female- and although they didn't actually stand up for themself, it did clear up a lot for them.

They joined Fallenclan when they were nine moons old, because they heard about an accepting and organised group of cats from the Claws of Purity (not in so many words, but they got the meaning) they stayed with the CoP for very little time before continuing to Fallenclan. They were found by the border and taken in, made an apprentice, but since there wasn't much they needed to learn and the time in the Clan was calm enough, they were able to spend most of their apprenticeship realising what a mess they actually are and beginning steps of recovery.

They're far from realising how deep their issues actually run, and even farer from fully being okay, but their mental state is stable enough.
