A long-legged charcoal lynx point tom with a long mane and a pale back half.
Spiderweave, with his long rosetted coat and masked face, resembles a Cashmere Bengal cat. He has tall tufted ears, and fur so thick it covers most of his face. His eyes are a dull gold colour and seem to suck light into them rather than reflect it. His ears are tall and tufted and usually alert- not particularly expressive. His limbs are long and skinny, and he treads delicately on every surface as if he might disturb the ground beneath him. His tail is his most expressive part, and with how much it moves he has incredible balance. He is often seen wearing a dull green hooded cloak, which is pinned together with a spiderweb brooch.

A mysterious, observant presence in Clan Gaoithe, Spiderweave is a silent watcher and keeper of secrets. Like its namesake it has built a web, one with cats as the anchors and relationships as the threads. Who is speaking to who, which cats are affiliated, even those who share favourite pieces of prey- if Spiderweave hears, this will be mentally catalogued. It imagines itself traversing a thin and eternally branching network, one where each path is a line of connection that can be followed to further information. All this is to say that it is easily taken in by rumor and gossip. By the same turn it is happy to provide information or spy on someone...for a price.
Outside of this "hobby", Spiderweave is a reserved cat without much to say in terms of small talk. When it does speak, you'll have to forgive it if its speech is unclear or absurd. It speaks in riddles and seems to take pleasure in others' confusion. It enjoys the morbid, the bizarre and the mysterious. It's recently taken an interest in bones and tries to swipe a few left over from offerings. It seems to believe he can divine some meaning from them, but it is entirely baseless guesswork.
H I S T O R Y
Spiderkit was a normal bairn, really. Born with paralyzed vocal cords he found it difficult to speak, and took to sign language to communicate with his Clan. His mother- Heatherstorm, the Valiant- disappeared when he was young, a victim of the dangerous peat bog. He hardly remembers her, her face as foggy as her grave, but he knows her love all the same. Apart from this early tragedy, he was a talkative and bouncy lad who followed the more rambunctious kittens around and eagerly played games. It was as a Dalta that things took a turn. As Spiderpaw began exploring the territory outside of camp, he dreamt one night that he was lost in the most with nowhere to go. Cold, damp and unable to see where he was going, his wandering was interrupted by the appearance of a large, black spider. It crawled through the air on the thread of an incredibly long web. As Spiderpaw followed the thread, it eventually led him back to camp and he woke up. From that day on Spiderpaw quickly changed into the cat he is today, enigmatic and morbidly curious.
Nowadays Spiderweave insists that what occurred to him was real, even with evidence pointing to it being a dream. He claims to know where the thread is, but refuses to retrace it. But then again, it's hard to tell what Spiderweave is really thinking. Knowing him, he might just be fucking with everyone.
