## Description

A very short, slightly stocky cat. She has mostly tidy and slightly thin medium-length fur that becomes quite long and puffy around with her chest fur and tail, although not to the fluffy extent as some of her littermates. Her legs are abnormally short, although not quite to the point of being fully munchkin like her mother. She has a folded ear, which is covered in a ginger tabby patch. Both of her ears have a very slightly excessive amount of ear fluff. Her normal ear has a gray tabby patch, as does her paw right forepaw, which has markings similar to her mother’s paw markings. Small, scant gray and ginger tabby patches are scattered among her white pelt, typically near her legs and underbelly, although a noticeable ginger one his found on part of her face. Her “base” coat color is a pure white; dark gray, nearly black speckles near her tail, on her tail, on her back legs, as well as part of her face. The same dark color is completely covering her chest fur and the upper 3rd of her tail. This band of dark gray seems to fade away near her lower back. She also has dark gray socks on her two left paws, the forepaw sock being longer than the back paw sock. She has two bands of dark gray, lighter than her tabby patches yet not quite as dark as her chest fur and tail, running down her tail vertically. Her eyes are a soft, pale yellow, and tend to have a slight glow or glint to them. Surprisingly, she has a black nose and tongue.

### Detailed description

While she might seem like a shy, sweet little kit at first glance, this kit has a heart and a head for mischief. Ashkit loves the thrill and risk of it all, whatever her scheme may be. With a big imagination and a fair level of intelligence, she's determined to succeed in whatever she's doing, whether it's being the best apprentice ever or sneaking out of camp. She is quite competitive as well, and will take on new challenges anytime, even if they come from herself. She sub-consciously holds herself and others to a high standard all the time, although it's not always the "right" things. However, she can be quite playful and carefree at times, and will definitely play games whether in imagination or reality. She is actually thoughtful when you get to know her, in her own way, and won't hesitate to cheer a sad cat up. Of course, you can count on her to create playful chaos with endless pranks and schemes she thinks up. It's typical to find her doing supposedly daring and reckless things, but in truth she's a bit of a planner and perfectionist. Her plan might be wild, but she always has a back up or can think of one quickly. She gladly lives on the edge, being restless and almost never satisfied with anything. Trying new things and action-filled learning is one of her favorite pass times. Ashkit is very adventurous and will cross borders both figuratively and literally just for fun, almost always with a plan not to get caught. In her own way, she can be quite courageous, as long as she knows the situation or thinks it's in her control. She's also a bit stuck in her ways of mischief and games and will snap if told to do otherwise. As well as being stubborn, she can be a bit overly sensitive and can't stand constructive criticism even if it's for her own good or seems logical. Despite her rather preferred chaotic lifestyle and thirst for new things, at first she is truly rather shy and timid with new things whether it be cats or situations. But as soon as she opens up, you can count on finding a burr in your nest.

## Strengths and Weaknesses

### Skills

* **Stamina** - Naturally, as a WindClan cat, she has a lot of stamina and can endure a lot of physical demand.
* **Senses** - She has naturally keen senses, particularly her sense of smell.

* **Swimming** - Despite her WindClan heritage and heavy fur, she has a natural ability for swimming and loves the feeling of a wet pelt.
* **Stealth** - Whether it's from her constant mischief or her natural small size, she can be quiet and light on her paws.

### Weaknesses

* **Climbing** - She can't climb and has a fear of heights.
* **Dyslexia** - Her dyslexia makes it harder to process and recall certain auditory sounds or memories.
* **Strength** - Despite her slightly stocky build, her small size makes it hard for her to get an upper hand in combat muscle-wise.
* **Digging** - She feels darkness underground is very compressing like most cats in her Clan, and refuses to learn how to dig.
* **Night vision** - For unknown reasons her night vision isn't as sharp as most cats, and she relies on the moon and the stars for light.

## Life

### Kithood

**Moon 0:** On Thursday, July 8th, 2021, Ashkit poofs into existence, the final kit in a litter of four (consisting of Badgerkit, Cinderkit, Wanderkit, and herself) to Midnightbreeze and Dandelioncrown after a hard kitting. Willowpool and Thrasherpaw are also present, as the medicine cats. Ashkit attempts to move closer to her mother, but can't summon the energy to and Dandelioncrown ends up having to pick her up.

Ashkit is exploring the nest, and, still being deaf and blind, gets lost. Her littermate Wanderkit tries to help her.

**Moon 1:** Ashkit opens her eyes just as her father, Dandelioncrown, walks in. Her eyes are still a sky-blue, not yet ready to show their true colors. They have some father-daughter time. The rest of this moon goes by fairly peacefully, mostly consisting of exploring the den.

**Moon 2:** Ashkit's eyes are a full pale yellow now. She meets her sister Cinderkit. They play fight for a little, then Ashkit gets an idea and they both escape the nursery. It's not long before they run across camp and dodge the gaurds, soon finding a way out of camp. It's quite windy, and Ashkit is surprised. They both make their way up a hill with some struggle.

**Moon 3:** She meets Thrasherpaw, who takes her into the medicine den. Thrasherpaw tempts her with his tail moving. Soon, Ashkit gives in and starts tackling his tail, which Thrasherpaw is amused with.

Unable to sleep, Ashkit accidently wakes up her sister, Wanderkit. Ashkit prepares to pounce on Wanderkit, but then Wanderkit runs away, scared. Ashkit chases her, assuming they are playing hide-and-seek or something similar. Being unable to find her, Ashkit says she gives up. Wanderkit realizes Ashkit just wanted to play, and so the two start play-fighting.

Midnightbreeze has found out Ashkit escaped a moon earlier, and scolds briefly before revealing she is genuinely worried for her kit. Ashkit agrees that she will not sneak out of camp again, although internally she knows that is not true.

Ashkit once again escapes with Cinderkit, with some hesitance after what she told Midnightbreeze.

**Moon 4:** This moon quickly becomes chaotic. Ashkit, being bored and wanting to escape yet again, sneaks out of camp during a storm, where she thinks is a very sneaky time of day to escape as most cats have taken shelter. However, it soon becomes apparent of her mistake; the slippery moors are impossible to navigate. After much struggle, it's not long before she is lulled to sleep under a tree.

Ashkit wakes up, confused, under a tree and in very wet land with distant roaring of rivers, waterfalls, and streams. Later she would find out she ended up in RiverClan territory. She spots a cat and quickly attempts to blend in, but it's not long before he spots her. Although she would never find out his name, he was Ospreyfeather. Ospreyfeather, after some hesitance, attempts to figure out where Ashkit is from. The storm washed out any scents or tracks, and Ashkit refused to tell the mysterious tom a thing. She coughs out water and Ospreyfeather puts a paw on her spine to stop her form choking. She moves away, thinking he's attacking her.

Ashkit is wandering away, coughing every now and then. Missing her family terribly, she accidentally falls into a stream and plunges beneath the surface. Amazed at this new underwater world, the awe-strucked kit soon struggles up for air. Soon realizing she is unable to swim, she calls for help and a cat, Waspsnow, sadly comes to help her. Ashkit asks questions and ends up learning Waspsnow lost someone close to her. Sympathetic, she tries to comfort her, but ends up coughing. Ashkit apologizes, wailing about how she's lost, and so Waspsnow loses it and throws Ashkit over the border. Ashkit lands badly and injures herself.

Ashkit is not in good shape- sickly, tired, hungry, and with a dislocated leg. Her father, Dandelioncrown, who had been searching almost non-stop for her, finds her and picks her up, murmuring comforts and bringing her home.

Soon, she arrives at camp and immediately searches for her mother. She finds her in the medicine den. Collapsing onto Midnightbreeze, Ashkit realizes Midnightbreeze is also injured.

Ashkit, like a good kit, finds Thrasherpaw, who says he'll fix her, and it'll only hurt a bit. Ashkit is doubtful but forces herself to trust the medicine cat apprentice anyways. With much pain, her dislocated shoulder is back in place.

**Moon 5:** Luckily, Ashkit's sickness is fading away. She spends most of the moon recovering.

Soon, unable to sleep, Ashkit decides to wake up Wanderkit to boast about how she escaped camp. [Ongoing rp]

Ashkit meets one of the new kits in the nursery. She introduces herself to Brookkit, and is slightly confused when Brookkit says her name and does not answer her question of Brookkit being one of the new kits or not. Presuming the kit's deafness as simply being young, Ashkit has some deep thoughts about being old and what she's done. [ongoing rp]
