Palewillow

## Overview

Palewillow is one of nine main protagonists in TSC, the others being Calladawn, Chimeleap, Fennelspring, Linnpoppy, Bluebellpetal, Mothskip, Milkdapple, and Plumeriadust. One of the oldest protags, Palewillow has a calm and collected sort of aura and is generally one of the more level-headed mains. She shares the TC perspective with Bluebellpetal.

## General Characteristics

### Appearance

Palewillow is a tall, slim she-cat. Her fur is very sleek and short except for her tail, which tends to be less well-groomed. Her tail is slightly longer than average and her eyes are a soft gray-violet. Her fur is very pale cream with a slightly darker tail, back, ears, and head. She has three much darker dots under each eye.

#### Physical Strengths and Weaknesses

Palewillow is tall and very physically fit. She's very fast and has fairly good hearing, even for a cat. She's very graceful in her movements and her only major weakness is a lack of swimming talent.

### Personality

Palewillow is a kind, dedicated cat. She is caring and patient, always willing to lend a paw. She is a true romantic (less so than Callapaw, of course), as well as a sort of motherly figure to younger cats. She has a tendency to try and control things and she's a bit of a neat freak, but she's a good girl.

## Background

### Early Life/Before Chapter 1

Palewillow was born in TorrentClan. She loved learning how to swim and spent a lot of her kithood playing in the water. She met Tallmark when she was about three moons old. She had, of course, seen him around camp before, but she started hanging out with him around three moons old. Tallkit was very kind and charismatic and they became good friends. He and his brother Grousestrike became apprentices about a moon before Palekit and were distanced from her somewhat for a moon, but she soon joined them in the apprentices den. The three of them became even closer of friends, especially Palepaw and Tallpaw. By the time she was eight moons old, Palepaw knew that Tallpaw was absolutely her soulmate and he seemed to agree.

## Relationships and Other

### Familial Relationships

Pearlscar - Palewillow's mother never mentioned that they were related. Palepaw grew up with the understanding that she was a rogue kit taken in. Silly Palepaw. TorrentClan hates strangers. As such, Palepaw has no relationship with her bio mom.

### Friendships

Bluebellpaw - Palewillow does her best to befriend her young Clanmate in the early chapters. They do end up very close by the end.

Tallpaw - Palewillow's "boyfriend" definitely deserves a spot on this list as both her oldest and longest-lasting friendship.

Grousepaw - Tallmark's brother isn't as close to Palewillow as Tallmark is, but she does enjoy his company.

### Clanmates

Palewillow generally gets along with her Clanmates.

Blacktrail - Palewillow has no particular love for her mentor.

Spiralstar - Palewillow has a deep respect for TC's leader.

Cinderfire - Palewillow pays special attention to Cinderfire, as she is Bluebellpaw's mentor.

### Other Clans/Outsiders

Palewillow tries to keep an open mind about the other Clans. There's something about ReefClan that sets her teeth on edge, but other than that she doesn't have anything against the other Clans.
