NAME... Flintpaw
AGE... 6 moons
GENDER... Female
CLAN... Cheetahclan
POSITION... Apprentice
SPECIES... King Cheetah
APPEARANCE...Sharing the looks over her father more than her mother, her fur is thick, thicker than most Cheetahs. It bushes at her tail, making it look larger than it really is. Not only is the overall texture thick, her spots are as well. They spread out larger, almost more like leopard spots than cheetah spots, meshing into what appears to be three thick stripes that run up her back. Those are the very markings that make her a king cheetah.
Despite being mostly like her father in looks, she does share her grace and lithe body shape with her mother. She is small like her mother, and her legs are thin, her tail long. She's quick on her feet like her mother was, rather than very muscle-y like her father. She has blue eyes, sharing that with neither parent.
PERSONALITY...Flintpaw is not a happy cheetah overall, despite her acting as if she is. Growing up without a mother has really put her deep in a troubled state of mind. She blames herself for her mother leaving, but shares her father's anger at her. She claims to never want to see her mother again, but deep inside, she longs for a mother figure. She's often seen interacting with adult female cheetahs (warriors, queens, etc) to try and gain some positive older (mostly female) attention despite her father's affection.
She's a 'tomboy' because she grew up without that mother figure, but often gets teased for it. She is also sometimes teased for her rogue mother leaving her. She does her best to ignore it but because of this all, she grows attachments very easily, and can somewhat be 'clingy' about it. She is eager to learn, but sometimes overwhelmingly eager. She sometimes is a troublemaker as well, often doing things against her mentor and leader/father's orders.
HISTORY...Flintkit was born to a king cheetah, and a normal cheetah. Out of her three siblings, she was the only one to have this pelt coloring, due to the rarity of it in litters. She lived one whole moon with her mother and two female siblings, Sandkit, whom had a deformed paw, and Rosekit, who was very quiet.
Sandkit was captured and killed by a hyena, and that was when Flintkit's mother decided to leave, cursing clan life, and taking Rosekit with her. Flintkit doesn't remember- but it was Echostar whom convinced Ashstorm to let him keep Flintkit at least. Ashstorm didn't agree without a fight, and Echostar almost didn't win it.
But he did, and was happy to have at least one of his kits to raise. Flinkit grew up with another queen giving her milk- but not treating her as if she was her own. But she had her father to 'baby' her and spoil her. As soon as Flintkit was of age, she left the nursery to become an apprentice, eager to begin her training to prove everyone she was worthy enough to be of the clan.
