Puddlespirit

Puddlespirit is currently the medicine cat of FallClan. He is known for having been chosen for the role at six moons old following the deaths of both previous medicine cats, instead receiving his guidance and lessoning from StarClan and through messages sent by the other Clans' medicine cats during the plague epidemic. As a result, he has a much more powerful connection with StarClan than most other medicine cats establish within a lifetime. What he lacks in courage he more than makes up for in faith. He is still an anxious and insecure young cat, but he is steadily gaining more confidence as he matures.

## Appearance & Personality

### Appearance

Puddlespirit is a very runty and scrawny little tom. He has a certain degree of dwarfism extending past his premature birth. He is only 7.3 inches tall despite his proportionally lanky limbs. He has very soft and smooth off-white fur with a bit of a natural curl to it, often appearing rather ragged and hanging loosely off of his thin frame. His pelt is more on the short side and the white is also broken up by small splotches and speckles of orange, both dark and light. His ears and tail are solidly orange and his large eyes are a watery shade of yellow. He has a tiny pink nose, soft pink paw pads, and drooping white whiskers. He also keeps a couple of yellow irises, gifts from Mosspaw, nestled behind his ears. She claims that they bring out his eyes.

Puddlespirit typically exhibits pretty anxious and reserved body language and he tries to keep his resting facial expression passive and apologetic. He always has his tail wrapped around one of his rear ankles as a nervous habit, and he kneads on floors often with his forepaws. He darts his eyes around a lot during conversation in order to avoid fully committing to it. He strays towards walls and corners and doesn’t move very fast. He prefers not to be noticed. He has a very quiet and tremulous voice, too. When he’s with the cats he loves, on the other hand, he finds himself able to physically relax and be much more open. The plague ending was a huge help to that as well.

### Personality

Pros: loyal, loving, selfless, thoughtful

### Trivia

-Silkfur named him for one of her favorite memories with his father: walking along the side of a street the morning after a heavy rainfall while he kept playfully splashing her with puddle water.

-He mostly has Silkfur’s Brazilian accent, but with added touches of FallClan’s. Like… he’ll talk in a Brazilian accent but he also won’t pronounce any t’s. Odd.

-His favorite prey is minnows. He’ll take a few pawfuls of minnows over an actual real fish any day.

-His favorite color is brown. Specifically light brown. He just likes it. And he doesn’t have a favorite flower. He likes them all.

-His love language is physical touch.

-He’s scared of the dark. And of pikes because of their teeth. And also of hornets. Note that he’s never actually seen a hornet. He’s just heard of them and they scare him.

-He is terrible at swimming and he feels really bad about it. He just never really got a chance to learn. He can kind of fish, though. He’s average at that.

-He is also atrocious at anything involving any sort of battle training. The idea of battle makes him want to cry.

### Quotes

[Original RP]

*"Are - are they coming?"*

*I'm a failure. I'm a disaster of a medicine cat. I can't even bring new life into the world without losing some.*

*If I'd known what I was doing, Sunstriker probably wouldn't be dead. I wish I'd had more time. I wish I'd had someone to learn from. I wish that - if not Crystalrock - Seedpaw at least could have lived.* -(before naming Seedkit)
