An outsider taken in, Snapdragon/Tigerkit shows their gratitude through complaceny and respect; under the guardianship of the warrior Lightningcall alongside their litter of three, they're known as warm presence around camp and a resilient spirit, choosing to keep moving and be kind despite the upsetting death of their mother and the sudden life style change. They enjoy spending time with Lightningcall, their littermates, and anyone who shows interest in spending time with them; they aren't shy and are a fairly present body in camp.
Though new the clan, they have chosen to take on a belief in StarClan; to them, it's more comforting to imagine their mother in a place with plentiful hunting and friends instead of some cold void. The fact it helps them feel like a fellow clanmember has made them more than happy to take on that belief.
Snapdragon/Tigerkit is a healthy mosiac of both their own creation and traits learned from Lightningcall. Witness to their own mother's death at a young age and taken in by Lightningcall, Snapdragon/Tigerkit is scared to rock the new boat they've found themselves on; they genuinely appreciate being given a new home, a warm nest, and the first good meal they've eaten in a while. They're a persistent thing, most of the problems they face no seeming manigable in comparison to the hunger and death they faced before coming to the clan--but they seem to have an issue mentioning when they take issue with something. They avoid confrontation like the plague, playing the mediator in every given situation and willing to go out of their way to please those around them. They feel the need to fix it and make everything better. They are happy to do what they're told to keep things smooth, dipping between easygoing and a pushover.
Despite that, they're the kind of cheerleader anyone would appreciate being by their side; they're genuinely encouraging, liking to see others succeed and doing what they enjoy. They're a warm soul, generally quite a welcoming presence even in silence. They're hardly the kind to go out of their way to tell you your faults (if anything, they just try and uplift everyone they meet), but nonetheless they're the kind of cat you can trust to give you an honest answer no matter the question, though sometimes it's less of a virtue and more of a vice if there's something they're meant to be keeping secret; both their honesty and their respectful nature are something they picked up from Lightningcall, the kind of cat to treat everyone as an equal no matter their age, identity, or origin--though their efforts are sometimes trumped by their aloofness, manifesting as a tendency to misread the situation or miss an important piece of information about someone by complete accident.

Loved thoroughly by their mother before her untimely passing, Snapdragon/Tigerkit was taken in by MonarchClan at two months old alongside their three littermates, their new guardian being the very cat that found them: a warrior named Lightningcall. Compliant and not looking to make trouble, Snapdragon/Tigerkit is just happy to have at least somewhat consistent meals and warmth, even if it meant leaving their mother behind. Indeed, they took to clan life fairly well.

KITHOOD
Snapdragon/Tigerkit's first two moons of life were brief but eventful; born in the valleys Snapdragon/Tiger to the rogue Rattle alongside three siblings, Lotus, Anemone, and Snapdragon/Tiger in the middle of leafbare, they were already at a disadvantage, even without Rattle's deteriorating health; nonetheless, they were happy enough, Snapdragon/Tiger on the quieter side but a warm presence, a polite little thing that took their mother's advice to heart.
Despite the love she gave and her efforts however, Rattle's health wasn't getting better, and the kits began to notice, including Snapdragon/Tiger. The litter was loved by their mother, but it didn't take much time after the opening of their eyes and their first steps for Rattle to start towards death's door; she looked for someone that could care of them, not wanting to leave her children alone, but she died before she could. Snapdragon/Tiger was curled up at her side as she passed, not quite understanding what was happening and assuming their mother was just taking an oddly deep nap. As her body cooled, though, it became apparent that that was not the case, Snapdragon/Tiger's dutiful patience fading into worry.
Lightningcall of MonarchClan would find them not long after the loner's passing, the litter curled in some nearby bushes for warmth, nipping painlessly at his ankles and telling him to get away from their mother--though Snapdragon/Tiger was one of the quieter of the crowd, instead following their litters' lead and opting to stand as defiantly as they could muster between Lightningcall and their mother; matted fur and thin waist made any attempts at intimidation hard. Snapdragon/Tiger was one of the easier ones to calm, not too eager to make a fuss and really just wanting something to eat. They were easily convinced to follow along with the clan cat, listening quietly as Lightningcall explained and performed the burial and not fighting as they were picked up to be taken back to MonarchClan, even if they felt bad for leaving their mother behind. They arrived at the MonarchClan camp when they were about two moons old.
The kittens were accepted into MonarchClan; something about the warrior code and protecting kits. The most notable thing was the little change to their names: Snapdragon/Tiger became Snapdragon/Tigerkit, their littermates' names receiving an identical change. Snapdragon/Tiger didn't really understand, but figured they still got to keep the part of their name their mother gave them, and was happy to change it if it made the strangers let them stay.

Snapdragon/Tigerkit is an average sized cat who looks like their pelt was made for a bigger cat. They gave shaggy dusky brown fur (including some shag on their toes and chin despite their youth) covered in simple tabby stripes; their underbelly and part of their chest is colored a pale cream; their face also sports some paler cream, though does so asymmetrically, sporting almost inverse look to their mother's white markings on their muzzle with the addition of a small irregular spot almost mimicking a tooth. Their eyes are a pale mix of blue and yellow, drawn from their assumed biological father and mother respectively. Though they sport a fairly average build, they are notably hard to knock down. Their ears appear almost too big for their head and it can only be hoped they'll grow into them.
A loner and Snapdragon/Tigerkit's birth mother; she passed within her litters' first two moons of life, so while Snapdragon/Tigerkit's memories of her are limited, the ones they do have are overwhelmingly positive. They miss her and are sad they had to leave her behind.
MonarchClan warrior and the cat that found Snapdragon/Tigerkit and their litter after their mother's passing. They view him quite positively; they definitely think of him more as a guardian than a parent, but they do view him as family of some kind.
