appearance...

The elegance of this female is magnificent, despite her short stature and stocky frame. Compared to her height, the length of her barrel seems very disproportionately long. Her short legs make getting places a bit time consuming, but their strength makes up for the lost time, and the endurance they contain can lead Smokestream on for hours on end. Her extended body makes swift and sharp turns a graceful breeze, and a long tail maintains balance for climbing and high speeds. Being so low to the ground, her movements blend together in a display of grace, and she rarely stumbles or trips.

Short, slick fur clings to her body, smooth as water on a windless day. A brush against the medicine cat feels more like a run in with a silk cloth than anything else. The lengthiest fur is ruffled upon her muscular chest and is much softer than the piercing golden of her pelt. Her coloration is nothing special, and falls in with most of the leopards around. The golden orange lightens around her chest and underbelly as well as the edges of her face. The black spots scattered across the surface of her fur appear to have been splatter painted upon her. The smallest of speckles lines her eyes and muzzle, while her back is the bearer of the largest splotches. They are hollow rings, typically, very similar in appearance to her clanmates.

Smokestream's eyes are a sharp mint green, much more noticeable than the typical green of most cats eyes. At a glance, her gaze can be menacing, and penetrate right to someone's heart. If they take a longer look, her eyes are actually softer, and full of sympathy and love. Her short white whiskers extend from the muddiest of pink noses. They are firm, drooping very little at the ends. The medicine cat has a good control over her emotions. Typically she lets her body language display her feelings, as well as her eyes, which are very expressive. Her black backed ears are a good read of her mood as well, which she tilts back in anger or frustration, and perk up with excitement.

Her gait is one admired by many, owned by few. Her paws angle inward as she walks, forming a straight line with where all four hit the ground lightly. Her barrel sways from side to side with each step that she takes. Many times she feels lust radiating toward her, especially at her slowest of speeds, the sway in her torso magnified. Her tail droops and curls up at the tip, usually slightly in the direction opposite her barrel as she trots along. At faster speeds, her tail extends out and her torso has less movement, but the light thuds of paw steps still form a graceful line.

personality...

At a glance, Smokestream appears to have a mystic air about her - a distance that sets her far past the realm of reality. Her overly-analytical nature causes constant whirring thoughts, weighing the odds of every possible situation. She would much prefer to sit back and observe, rather than take part in quarrels and conversations. Only when she has gathered her thoughts and determined her best option does she let her graceful and loving words flow from her tongue. Her aloof characteristics have always been a part of her, often looked oddly upon by both newcomers and old clan mates.

Her clan means the world to her, and she takes it upon herself to nurture them with her healing and love. Her silent scrutiny explodes into deafening love in a single second. Smokestream treats everyone relatively equally, whether kit or leader, apprentice or elder. Even the youngest of kits know to look to Smokestream with abounding respect and gratitude. If they don't, she pulls one back on them, going off on a lecture. She would snap, however she hasn't a mean bone in her body, and will never be found yelling. A conversation with Smokestream would contain a good amount of quiet as she thinks and processes the words of her comrade. Every word that comes out of her mouth is deeply analyzed before hand.

Smokestream has always been against the basic idea of clans. Her love extends to any that accept it. She wishes for the clans to unite as one, and work together as a huge family, yet in her analyzing she realizes this plan is not likely. Many don't understand the scrutiny she's a part of. Every little detail matters to her, every step, and every breath. Her clan mates fail to understand the detailed analysis that takes place in her head, and she doesn't realize that it is not the norm to do so.

How about their opinions? How do they feel on those? What are their opinions? How strong would they be in defending their opinions? Could they easily be swayed to support another opinion? Or are the head-strong in their beliefs?

And for the last bit get a little generic again. Summarize some things, but do it in a new way. Really use the last bit to send a message about your cat.
