otterfur

Otterfur is a short-furred, short, skinny cat. Their fur is sleek in texture, and light brown with white on their muzzle, paws, tail tip and ears. Their eyes are a soft leafy green with a pink iris. They have a pomegranate blossom tucked behind their ear, matching their eyes.

Otterfur is a cat who has very little confidence in themself, and look to others to find their own sense of self-worth. They whole-heartedly devote themselves to others to gain a sense of meaning, and to receive affection from them. In their mind, these people are flawless and perfect, someone they strive to be like. This mindset blinds them from seeing them for who they truly are.

Outwardly they are very excitable and friendly, though very quickly during interactions does their insecure nature start to show. They are very quick to doubt their own judgement in favor of other's, but they very rarely abandon their own moral code in favor of other's, but not without a sense of guilt that soon follows.

Growing up, Otterkit only had their mother, Softpelt, and their denmates, Silkkit and Spiderkit. Softpelt was very distant and cold toward Otterkit after the death of their father, Hazelspots, so Otterkit found comfort in their friends. When Softpelt wasn't there, they could always count on the kindness of Silkkit and Spiderkit.

Soon after they were made an apprentice, the colony's sage, Hareheart, recieved a sign that Otterpaw was meant to be his apprentice. They were unwilling at first, knowing that if they were to be a sage, they couldn't train with their friends anymore like they wanted to. But Silkpaw and Spiderpaw managed to convince them to pursue their destiny and their training began. However, they quickly proved difficult to train, as they struggled to connect with the ancestors in The Starlit Meadows, but in secret, Silkpaw and Spiderpaw had a miraculous ability to interpret to connect with them on a deeper level than Otterpaw could. So they decided, Otterpaw would continue training with Hareheart without telling him about the help they were getting, and Silkpaw and Spiderpaw would continue to help them read signs so they wouldn't let down the ancestors.
