He’s very animated in the way he behaves and expresses himself, often unable to keep still. He's known for his dramatics which can include putting on voices, imitating other cats and narrating for his (dead) pet mouse, Scamper. He has poor impulse control, rarely thinking his actions through, especially those that are emotionally charged. Otterchase has almost no sensitivity to danger, his fears of certain places or things arising from past experiences alone rather than any natural sense. Even then, he’s usually more afraid of repeating the bad experiences themselves than actually getting hurt. This doesn’t mean he’s some incredible cat who’s never afraid, far from it. His fears instead arise from his own insecurities, Otterchase often frightened of being deemed as inadequate, defective or useless. He’s pretty rough, often crashing into his friends as a greeting and batting at them teasingly. His small stature means he rarely inflicts any harm, but sometimes he does takes things a little too far. He very much lives in the present and doesn’t really think all too much about others. Not in a selfish sort of way, it’s just he sometimes has trouble empathising with how others might be feeling, unless it’s spelt out to him or he's experienced the same. Otterchase tends to have difficulty regulating his emotions and is prone to outbursts and rapidly switching moods. He isn’t very emotionally mature, often blaming things on others and striking out at any provocation instead of looking at things with the eyes of a calm and rational adult. All the same, he's a well meaning cat who takes pleasure in the little things in life, who's childlike charm and humour is infectious. ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ A P P E A R A N C E ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ Original Design & Concept • @dxskhuskii Additional Changes • @fourdiirtypaws Otterchase is a short, fluffy warrior who has downy, almost kitten-like scruffy fur. It's at its thickest and scruffiest around his head, neck, and belly. He has a thick, cedar-brown pelt dappled in white speckles, along with clouded, baby blue eyes. Otterchase's nose leather, paw pads and inner ears are a dusty rose pink. He had long, thick whiskers that compensate for his impaired vision. His legs are short, but are in relative proportion with the rest of his body. He has a lean, lithe frame that is greatly disguised by the sheer volume of his pelt along with his oversized ears and paws which he appears yet to grow into. Nestled in front of his right ear is a Greater periwinkle which he replaces every so often when it wilts, this specific type of flower having been given to him by his father at his death. ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ R E L A T I O N S ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ⇢ (Immediate) Family • Mother: (✝) Gingerwish () • Father: (✝) Falconblaze () • Littermates: Hawkcrest (), (✝) Glaciertrail (), (✝) Applekit () • Adopted sibling: Dewumbra () ⇢ QPP/Best friend • Thrashercloud () ⇢ Friends # = also family, * = family-like (raised together) • Cinnamondust () • Greycloud () # • (✝) Flarebounce () • (✝) Breamlily () * • Nettlehaze () # • Otterstride () • (✝) Mousefluff () * • (✝) Niledew () * • Creambranch () • Woolymeadow () • Clearwhisp () • Ripplewatcher () • Blazingstar () # • Driftspirit () • Rook () ⇢ Frienemies • Blastblizzard () • Tarantulahunter () • Dustflurry () • (✝) Jayflame () • Diamond () ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ E D U C A T I O N ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ⇢ Former mentor • Cinnamondust () [ Otterchase's warrior assessment was delayed until he was around 18 moons ] ⇢ Apprentice Driftpaw () ‿︵ ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ‿︵ Space for the base edit done by the wonderful !
