NAME...Daykit|| Daypaw ||Daycloud||Daystar
AGE... 6 Moons
GENDER... Female
CLAN... TigerClan
POSITION... Apprentice
SPECIES... Indochinese Tiger
APPEARANCE...Quite small for a tiger, Daypaw is known for her delicate, slender appearance. She has a lovely russet orange pelt with elegant striping radiating out from her spine. The tips of her ears are black but her toes on each paw are white. Along her tail, Daypaw has black stripes that become black rings and finally end in a black tip. White accents Daypaw's face, touching the end of her muzzle and around her hazel-gold eyes. The white follows down Daypaw's chin, chest, belly and along the insides of her legs. Being a still-growing feline, it's not easy to see what she'll look like when she's fully grown but its safe to bet she'll grow into an elegant, if small, tigress.
PERSONALITY...The one thing that it is important to know about Daypaw is that she is incredibly social. She flourishes when surrounded by others and has been known, on occasion, to hog the spotlight a bit. Daypaw is known for her playful, fun-loving persona, always willing to make someone laugh and never hesitating in giving someone a smile. There is an air of innocence that clings to Daypaw and draws the attention of even standoffish warriors and apprentices. Daypaw adores elders, and when she's not off ringleading a troublemaking escapade she is often found sitting in front of an elder, avidly listening to their tales about the ancestors and massive natural disasters. She loves stories of bravery, especially of heroines but she's not always opposed to a love story or damsal in distress. In her daily life, Daypaw loves to think of these stories and wonder if she'll ever be able to be the she-cat that saves the clan, be the leader that goes down in history or even just be a high achieving warrior.
Daypaw aims high in her dreams. Determined to someday become a clan leader, Daypaw wants nothing more than to help her clan flourish and be the best warrior, mentor, mother and hopefully leader that she can be. Amongst other apprentices it's easy to see she has leadership potential, if a bit undeveloped. Always the ringleader, Daypaw is always leading midnight hunting excursions, jumping into fights to break them up or starting fights if she finds out someone's being picked on. That is simply one thing she won't stand for, bullying. Everyone in camp is from TigerClan, they're all on the same side wanting the same things, why fight? Why pick on each other? That is why it's not uncommon to see her standing up for the apprentice everyone ignores or giving someone a clawed swipe on the nose if she thinks they're getting a little big headed.
When all is well though Daypaw is a sweet, compassionate she-cat with an infectious smile and determination to be the best cat she can possibly be. Nobody can tell her no, or that she can't because Daypaw will go out of her way to prove them wrong. Already in her kithood this has proven a bit trying for the clan's medicine cat since one minute she'd pick a fight, the next she'd be sweet as could be and then the next she was limping because she tried to hunt and got tangled in a thorn bush. Still, some cats find it hard to dislike Daypaw, though it's not impossible. To some, she tries to hard or is too ambitious or they think that she's simply overstepping her bounds as an apprentice, but Daypaw doesn't care. She does what she wants, when she wants and how she wants. Daypaw is the first to jump up and go to an injured fellow or leap into a fight to avenge them, determined to teach those that pick on her friends a lesson they won't soon forget.
HISTORY...Daykit was born in the second litter of Nightleaf and Owlshadow. Her older siblings consist of her brother Redswipe and her two sisters Mistpool and Hailclaw. The litter she was born into consists only of her brother Grasskit. Her grandmother, an elder due to early onset of blindness was a she-cat named Stormypelt and her grandfather Hookedclaw died in a border fight moons before Daykit was born. Since the day she was born though, it was obvious Daykit was going to succeed. She was the first to open her eyes and the first to explore, while her brother was more standoffish and wary of nursery visitors. Daykit would always beg her mother to let her go listen to Stormypelt tell stories and until the day Stormypelt died of greencough when Daypaw was four moons old, she did. Stormypelt's death however, brought a small influx of greencough into the camp and several cats got sick, including Daykit and her family.
Grasskit fell ill first, and then Owlshadow and Nightleaf and finally Daykit. Owlshadow and Nightleaf recovered but Grasskit and Daykit battled the illness for days on end. Grasskit finally fell to the illness, struck down nearly five days after becoming ill. For two additional days, Daykit stayed in the medicine cat's den and continued to fight the weakening illness. At last she began to recover, taking nearly a moon to be back to her optimal health. The only problem was, after Grasskit's death, she felt lonely because even though her brother was a bit standoffish and not really vocal, he was still her brother and she missed him sorely after his death.
At six moons of age, Daykit became Daypaw.
