t r a i t s


 kind { + - }
     ◯ is always willing to accommodate or console her clanmates. whether lending a paw or sacrificing her free time, she tries to help out her clanmates who are struggling. even if certain clanmates have hurt her in the past, she will trip over herself to assist/please anyone.

adventurous { + }
     ◯ marshdapple likes to call her wanderlust her "itchy paws", and often fidgets when confined to one place for too long. she longs to explore beyond the shadow clan boundaries. she understands the necessity of remaining with shadowclan, though, and instead fabricates her own adventures in the territory.

adaptable { + }
     ◯ marshdapple is a survivor at heart and is capable of reacting to events, environments, and relationships however she needs to in order to remain free and alive. while this can make her seem two-faced or flighty, it also gives her a greater appreciation for the all the surprises and variants life has to offer. 

passive { / }
     ◯ tends to allow others to use or rely on her, without any regard for her own well being. she finds it exhausting, but emotionally simpler than standing up for herself. she will even remain complacent when she knows someone is lying to her.

 positive { / - }
     ◯ remaining upbeat on the hopeful on the outside is very important to marshdapple, as she believes others only appreciate her for these qualities, and would abandon or hate her if she ever displayed negative or unpleasant traits. while she does a decent job of lifting others' spirits, marshdapple's in ability to open up to others causes her to isolate herself more often than not. 

obsessive { - }
     ◯ fixates on behaviors, details, and memories to the point where they can keep her from functioning as well as she needs to. also can get very possessive of her relationships. 

internalizes everything { - }
     ◯ every other cat's wrong doing or her own personal failures becomes a reason to either ignore or wallow in her emotions. she takes most things personally or blames herself, and is very self deprecating because of it. 

violent { - }
    ◯ when she is higher energy, angry, or depressed she tends to experience violent impulses and somewhat vivid violet fantasies. she has learned to reign in these impulses over the years, sublimating them until she has a chance to hunt or fight in battle. she is often worried that she will hurt others.



h i s t o r y

 kithood ◯ 0-6 m


     ◯ marshdapple rarely talks about her experiences as a kit. her mother, greenbark, died while kitting marshdapple and her brother, frogleg, and their father, slightfeather, blamed his new kits for the loss of his beloved mate. he was often neglectful, violent, and emotionally abusive to his children but seemed to resent marshdapple most of all. she and frogleg were nursed and raised by various queens, and relied on each other for support than any other member of the clan. marshkit was always wide eyed for a world unknown to her and would marvel at the changing of the seasons or slow decomposition of crow food. even her father's cruel nature could not snuff out her natural curiosity and appreciation for the things she had not yet seen or did not understand.


apprenticeship ◯ 6-12 m

     ◯ marshdapple and her beloved brother were not apprenticed together because the latter came down with greencough a day before his ceremony. marshdapple was devastated but welcomed her new found freedom with the exuberance many had come to expect from her. after all, with a mentor monitoring her closely, she would have to spend less time with slightfeather. though she need not have worried, shortly after she was named marshpaw, slightfeather died of an infection from a wound he'd received sparing with his current apprentice. marshdapple was relieved and shocked by her own joy at the death of her father. she tried to talk to her brother about this but he did not respond well, denying their father's abuses and calling marshdapple a heartless monster. it was then she decided that concealing her monstrous and unpleasant emotions was the only way to avoid being despised. while she did poorly in many hunting exercises, marshdapple had always been good at fighting and sparring-- proving herself to be a true warrior in a border skirmish against thunderclan.
