Skills and Abilities

Physical Appearence

Kowhaipaw is a small round she-cat with primarily white fur. She has yellow-ginger tabby patches, particularly over her right eyes, her back and tail. She inherits her slightly flattened face from her Persian mother which gives her an underbite. She also has golden green eyes, the left of which is turned slightly inwards.

Her appearence is notably different from her clanmates, in part due to her lighter fur colour but mostly due to her resemblance to her Persian mother, traits which clan cats are unfamiliar with. Although her differences give her no difficulties outside of her smaller stature she feels further isolated because of them.

Scars / Injuries

• Kowhaipaw's only visable injury is a notch in her right ear caused two moons into training (not accurate to ages on reference sheet)

Relationships

STANDING

Duskclan

---

Kowhaipaw has a tumultuous relationship with her clan. Due to Duskclan's conservative nature any non-clan cat is treated with suscipion; this is especially for town cats as their proximity to humans, considered incredibly dangerous by clan cats, is seen as threatening. Because of this the general consensus regarding Kowhaipaw is that the clan views her with caution, with most cats avoiding interactions from her even from a young age. It isn't helped that her father is seen as a traitor and many expect that she will grow up to display similar behaviour.

With this in mind Kowhaipaw is understandibly insecure about her place within the clan. Although she loves the family she's found within Duskclan she feels that seperated from them in this way as she knows her acceptence by the clan is more conditional for her than it is for them; any mistake she makes is blamed on her background and seen as a sign that she can't fit in. However fortunately the love from the cats within Duskclan that know her make her optimistic that she can change their minds if she's only able to prove herself. She hopes that her connection to Starclan and relentless service will solidify her place there.

[ Biological Parents ]

Kiwitalon and Duchess

| |

Kowhaipaw has complicated feelings towards her parents; while she’s sympathetic of their situation (particularly Kiwitalon) she can’t help but feel abandoned and their lack of presence in her life notably affects her self worth.

[ Older Brother ]

Lichenflower

| |

Kowhaipaw is very close with her older half-brother, who had a large role in her upbringing. She’s grateful for the efforts he makes towards making her feel accepted and loved although she hopes that he will learn to let her prove herself on her own terms with time.

[ Mentor ]

Cricketthroat

| |

Kowhaipaw appreciates Cricketthroat’s patience as a mentor and enjoys his sense of humour. Although she’s not ready to acknowledge it, she's glad to have someone near that understands the isolation of having been born outside of the clans and being on the edge of the clan’s acceptance.

[ Foster Mother ]

Tawnyfeather

| |

Kowhaipaw has incredible gratitude towards her foster mother for nurturing and caring for her as her own kit; she never feels more protected than when they are together as she knows that no one will dare speak against her in Tawnyfeather’s presence. Although she dares not say it outloud for fear of a negative reaction from clanmates she considers Tawnyfeather to be her true mother.

Personality

〰─⊹⊱★☆★⊰⊹─〰─⊹⊱★☆★⊰⊹─〰─⊹⊱★☆★⊰⊹─〰─⊹⊱★☆★⊰⊹─〰─⊹⊱★☆★⊰⊹─〰─⊹⊱★☆★⊰⊹─〰

Kowhaipaw is young and impressionable and carries along a sense of naivity and optimisim because of this and has a sense of curiousity of her surroundings that often leads to creative ideas. She lends trust to others easily and values the opinions of her clan which leads to a lack of confidence when this goes unrecipricated. Despite this Kowhaipaw has a willingness to stand up against injustice, particularly when it affects her friends.
