Sometimes refers to a stroke of good fortune. -> 'Ra', 'Naps,' 'Snap' ‿︵‧˚₊ IDENTITY -> She/It -> Cisgender AFAB -> Pansexual -> Romance: Closed ‿︵‧˚₊ RANK -> Ashclan -> Mentor ( History specialization ) -> Formerly a kit, apprentice, warrior and queen. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ⊹₊˚‧︵‿₊⊱·✶·⊰₊‿︵‧˚₊⊹ ____ ⊹₊˚‧︵‿₊⊱·✶·⊰₊‿︵‧˚₊⊹ ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ABOUT ‿︵‧˚₊ -> Appearance Snapdragon's fur is a deep chocolate color, dark enough that on occasion it conceals the jagged black claw-marks across the left side of her face and across her flank. Long tufts of her fur fade into vibrant orange, contrasting her orange and blue eyes. She stands at 17 inches, and sports the traditional strong sturdy build her clan is famous for. Though her scars are from a variety of apprentice hood squabbles, the most noticeable one is from a fight with Halo. ‿︵‧˚₊ -> Personality Snapdragon is known throughout the clan for her fiery personality, however those who have been paying attention will have noticed she has mellowed considerably since receiving her warrior name, replacing battle training and obsessive border patrols with stories and mentorship. An ashclan's first impression of Snapdragon will be that she is kind, graceful and patient cat who always has time to help her clanmates or supervise out-of-control kits. To the other clans, however, some of her innate personality comes out and she becomes more aggressive and quick to anger. Snapdragon holds strong prejudice and is prone to superstition. ‿︵‧˚₊ -> Skills Snapdragon is proficient in fighting, preferring it heavily over hunting. She doesn't hunt often, but when she does she sticks to large game she can take down with power rather than stealth. It has a remarkable memory, and uses it mostly to tell stories. Snapdragon is a great storyteller, and spends a lot of her time in the nursery or teaching apprentices clan history. Snaps is good with kits, both as a teacher and caretaker. They don't have a problem looking after kits for other queens or taking on the training of apprentices. ‿︵‧˚₊ -> Downfalls Snapdragon is extremely susceptible to bias and holds an intense prejudice against the other clans. She doesn't patrol as often as she did as an apprentice, however when she does it often breaks out into verbal or physical fights. Stealth is something Snapdragon has never been able to master, preferring working in teams and using brute force to achieve her goals. ‿︵‧˚₊ Family -> Snapdragon is the only child in her litter, which may have contributed to her intense need to prove herself as an apprentice. Her father is Weepingwhisp (bitingdreams), Ashclan's envoy. Despite being the only child from her litter, Snap has younger siblings from a separate litter (desert-bones), (-Jelly_beann-) Naps has a daughter, kindlingkit. (-Bird-_). Kindling's father passed shortly after she was born, and she doesn't like to talk about him, still not over the grief. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ⊹₊˚‧︵‿₊⊱·✶·⊰₊‿︵‧˚₊⊹ ____ ⊹₊˚‧︵‿₊⊱·✶·⊰₊‿︵‧˚₊⊹ ----------------------------------------------------------------------- HISTORY ‿︵‧˚₊ -> Kithood As the only kit in her litter, born in the depths of leafbare, Snapdragon was determined to prove herself worthy of Ashclan from a very young age. It would often beg apprentices to let her train alongside them. -> Apprenticehood Snapdragon patrolled the borders obsessively, working hard to protect the clan from threats. Finding she wasn't very good at hunting, she put all her effort into fighting and sparring with anyone she could find. During this time Snapdragon got into several fights, and garnered somewhat of a negative reputation as being quick to anger and impossible to reason with. -> Young warrior (Present day) Snapdragon and her partner had a kit together, Kindlingkit. Shortly after they discovered they were going to have kits, her partner died in a tragic and wholly unnecessary fight, leaving her devastated and bound to camp. Thanks to the death of her partner, Snapdragon began questioning the cat she had been and began to mellow, trading her battle training for storytelling. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ⊹₊˚‧︵‿₊⊱·✶·⊰₊‿︵‧˚₊⊹ ____ ⊹₊˚‧︵‿₊⊱·✶·⊰₊‿︵‧˚₊⊹ -----------------------------------------------------------------------
