Antpetal | 67 Moons | RiverClan | Water | She-cat
General Info
Previous Clan(s): -
Element: Water
Sexuality: -
Physical Appearance
Brief Description: A red and white she-cat with brick-red eyes and soft fur.
In-depth Description: Antpetal has soft, silky fur which hides her not-so-strong muscles. Old age is slowly creeping up on her, and although she still shows some vigour, her face reveals her true age, kinf eyes gazing out to whoever looks at her. Although even before, when she was more in her prime, her chest was white as snow, now it seems to have grown, and her stripes faded into her medium-long fur.
Personality
Trait lists: Traits must be distributed evenly and must not clash (A confident cat would not be cowardly!)
+ Kind | Caring
- Noncommital
: Skittish | Gullible
Personality description: A kind and caring she-cat, in her old age she has taken a liking to most cats around her. Although she can sometimes be skittish towards outsiders, especially as she doesn't feel as able to protect herself, she will still do her best to enchant fellow cats with stories from her youth, or give a kind earful to unruly Kits that had snuck out that night. She can never truly commit to one cat who is her favourite to talk to. Her old mate listened from time to time, but they never quite felt the spark of love, and now she could barely try to stick with someone for long, lest she perishes and leaves behind more hurt. That being said, she can ocassionally trust others' words too much and form some attachment to them, believing they truly want what's best, but she is simply gullible.

History
History: Antkit, born to Hail- and Basil-, grew up with Warriors long forgotten, grandparents of many of the modern day Kits. Although changes are always slow, especially with RiverClan's approach, so she often sees the same kithoods play out as if they were hers. Antkit's mother was more distant than most, that is true, but her father was there to help once she could go out of the Nursery often enough. Back then, many Dark elements still roamed their territory - although most never wished to truly associate with Clans. They were cast out, and while there were a few that stuck in RiverClan, she still remembers the stories of Dark cats pouncing from shadows, eating Kits and attacking patrols which only fought back to protect themselves. Whether such stories were true doesn't matter, but her fear of being alone at night still echoes.
She hasn't bothered trying to remember any of her siblings for long now, most having fallen in bloody battles or were never given the chance to live. Not that relationships in RiverClan were that close: sure, she knew everyone by name, but their favourite foods? What they thought the best sunning spot was? Not much came to mind.
That being said, she did have a few friends in her apprenticehood, like poor old Hickoryfinch, at the time only Hickorypaw. Even now, she remembers the two of them fighting a rabid fox, lost from their mentors as they had crossed the WindClan border. Wolves weren't the only problem WindClan has had, although she remembers foxes being much more manageable. And far fewer in number. Either way, they had a big earful about respecting borders and understanding combat as Antpaw limped back with Hickorypaw.
There must have been other stories like that since, like she always says, "Back many seasons ago, it wasn't this safe." Not that safety was ever a true issue, of course. Regardless of other misadventures as an Apprentice, the bulk of her stories come from being a warrior, known as Antpetal. By now, very few remain that had met her in her youth, like Branch- or -berry, who had gone with her on a border patrol to ShadowClan, discovering tresspassing warriors hunting on their land. It was an easy battle, as any fire they made was quickly put out by her and the others. There used to be a young tom - very bright and brave - who was eventually consumed amidst another territory dispute. He was one of the few Fire elements at the time as well.
Harsh Leafbares had always been far too common, but even then fish swam plenty most of the time. Greencough was a much worse killer than starvation ever was. The biggest scandal was when an old, frail Medicine Cat had perished to the same illness she was trying to cure, and her apprentice had barely just started.
In her senior years, however, the most frightful event had happened. Her best friend, Hickoryfinch, passed away, murdered in the night. Darkness stank off of her body, and then, as if StarClan themselves decided to bring wrath to her, the newest Clan, DarkClan, was formed. At the time, there was barely anything but rage, but other priorities took hold. Brightkit, Morningkit, and Redkit were born, fathered by Elmfur, her mate at the time. How could she be hateful when tiny lives depended on her? Her love for the 3 kittens was so much more than her hate for anyone else. Elmfur (even if they weren't the closest) vowed to keep them safe with her until their deaths.
Heartbreak was inevitably, however. As Redpaw was finishing her apprenticeship - in fact as soon as she received her warrior name, Redmist - she said her goodbye. And she was gone. Her kit, who she wanted to protect had left her family, half-starved like everyone else, after one of the biggest loses in RiverClan.
Leafbare was always harsh, but that one was the harshest.
Soon, the old and tired Antpetal decided that, maybe, she should retire to the Elders' Den. Already she would rather tell stories of past heroes to little kits than fight another cat.
