### Roleplayer

Silverwhisker

**Cinderpaw** is a charcoal snow mink rosetted she-cat.

## Description

### Physical

Physically, the she-cat is quite similar to her mother in the sense that she's a hair shorter than most cats. She's relatively thin, but is still semi-muscular like her father. Her legs still seem fairly long despite her minuscule size, making the she-cat capable of covering several lengths with a few powerful leaps. Cinderpaw's shoulders are particularly powerful, giving her the upper hand when she's required to haul her light-weight self up trees.

While her fur might be lighter in color, it still gives off hints of the rich chocolaty brown that her father had. Like both Muddyfang and Ashbreeze, Cinderpaw is covered in intricate rosetting that leads into tabby patterning on both her face, legs, and tail. As a charcoal, her pointing is practically black with hues of smoky mahogany. All in all, she's charcoal mink like her father, but with lighter snowy-like fur found along her extremities. Surprisingly, her eyes are a lovely sage rather than turquoise.

### Personality

Cinderpaw is an incredibly sensitive feline that has a tendency to be attached to the hip of almost everyone she considers a friend. She has an innocent and naive personality with a belief that any cat is capable of being good, so long as others are willing to give them a chance. As a result, she's very patient with others, even if the other cat is a lost cause. Unfortunately, this means that Cinderpaw has a tendency to be dragged along in a relationship and essentially abused for her endlessly kindness. However, with this stick-with-it-ness comes a hard-headed and determined attitude, a cat that refuses to abandon others. All cats can be saved in the eyes of Cinderpaw- her father is proof of that.

Perhaps she can be a ceaseless chatterbox from time to time, but surprisingly, the little she-cat is a wonderful listener. She likes to learn about the dreams and desires of other cats within her clan, in hopes that she can assist them in their ambitions. She's very supportive and almost selfless in her wake. She enjoys listening to stories in her passing time, but secretly, she's quite fearful of what she might become. Perhaps she's somewhat oblivious to the dangers that lay ahead of her, but having bloodties to the Dark Forest? It's terrifying to Cinderpaw. Yes, there could be great power in her future, but she's always been fearful of what might lurk in the shadows...

## History

### Roleplay

Moons before her birth, the kitten's father is declared a traitor to WillowClan for betraying his clan and spying on them for ScarClan. Cinderkit is eventually born to her mother, Ashbreeze, under a lineage blessed by the dark powers of the Dark Forest. The generally jolly-natured kitten is born alongside a protective brother, Leopardkit (WC), who quickly becomes the target of torment for some of his clanmates.

The kitten interacts with the clan's newest deputy, Stonetooth, who teaches her bravery. However, once out of her shell, Wolfshade mercilessly breaks the news to both Cinderkit and Leopardkit that their father was a traitor, and their mother cursed by the Dark Forest. This results in a down spiral on both parts of the kittens. Cinderkit becomes horrified and reclusive in the nursery, while Leopardkit seems set on proving himself as a "monster" if this is what his clanmates want.

Wolfshade is responsible for creating a devestating war between The Pack and WillowClan, but ultimately, the clan prevails. They see heavy losses, but finally, the kits are free from the tormenting Wolfshade...that is, free from the tom himself, but not the lasting, haunting impact he has made on them.

Leopardkit is stolen unknowingly by their father during the war, to which he's taken to ScarClan and tortured for the sake of using his Elite blood to turn him into a killing machine. Cinderkit is heartbroken and not quite herself without her brother. It isn't until two moons later that he's returned, and she's overjoyed.

During these moments, they're made apprentices. Cinderpaw receives her "uncle", Quillstar, as a mentor, per the request of her mother. She's overjoyed and acts as her typical merry self, but is concerned for the sake of her brother. Leopardpaw does not seem the same since he's returned to WillowClan.

During an unfortunate hunting accident, their mother is killed. Cinderpaw is upset, but also meets her father, who helps pull Ashbreeze from the rubble. He apologizes and mother-and-daughter forgive him, but Leopardpaw, fearful, flees. Cinderpaw buries her mother before she goes hunting with Cherrypaw and Dandelionpaw. Bad luck strikes again, leading Cinderpaw to tear a claw and fall from a tree.

## Relationships

### Family

**Ashbreeze:**

WIP
**Leopardkit:**

Her brother is her best friend, her protector, the only cat that's been able to understand her since day one. The pair have an unbreakable bond, yet they seem to be opposites. Try as she might, Cinderpaw can never force her brother to get "out there" and be more social like herself. Despite his flaws, she loves him dearly- she'd lay her life down for him, honest! From time to time, he can be a little overbearing when it comes to protecting her and keeping her safe, seeing that he's had some not-so-great experiences with being away from his family. She respects that it might take time to work Leopardpaw out of his shell, but she'll be there to support him every step of the way.
**Muddyfang:**

Unlike her brother, Cinderpaw never met her father. However, she hasn't heard the greatest things about him, most of WillowClan seems to hate his guts. Therefore, Cinderpaw "pays the price" of being his offspring, something she could never control.
### Friends

**Frozenkit & Mosskit:**

The she-cat considers the pair of brothers to be loose friends, considering that Leopardkit typically took the pleasure of driving them off. She appreciates their company and willingness to help, although she finds Frozenkit to be occasionally overbearing with his concern, a little too much like her own brother. Regardless, she looks forward to training with the both of them, and hopes that they find her presence to be fun, and not...obnoxious or whiny. She doesn't mean to be annoying, but she feels self-conscious since she's known the both of them for several moons. She's surprised that they've survived in the nursery with her for so long.
**Cherrykit:**

Cinderkit finds the bubbly feline to be a total breath of fresh air. The happy tortoiseshell is a good distraction and offers welcomed support. Cinderkit enjoys running off to go flower-picking with the petal-patched cat, and hopes their relationship will blossom into a spectacular, fortified friendship. She doesn't know where she'd be without her good laughs and long nights spent storytelling with Cherrykit.
