Name: Shellfur
Age: 14 moons
Gender: female
Clan: SwiftClan
Rank: Warrior
Appearance: Shellfur is quite a pretty she-cat. Her build is petite, small and lean making her very quick when she gets to running. Like most wild cats, Shellfur has a short pelt making her sleek and streamlined, good for long runs but also good for summertime hunting. The coloring of Shellfur's pelt is tortoiseshell, patches of black and ginger on a white base pelt. Her head and ears is mostly splotches of black and ginger but down her back the calico spots seem to be only running down her spine and entirely covering her tail. There is a large black stop on her left side wrapping a little onto her underbelly as well as a smaller black spot on her left hind leg. Dark muddy-green eyes take in the world around her. Some say apart from her eyes, Shellfur is a beautiful cat. Honestly Shellfur likes her eyes, despite their muddy appearance, neither brown nor green.
Personality: This is a little spitfire. Energized, bright and peppy Shellfur is known for lightening up gloomy situations. Even when under attack Shellfur can still tease, either her enemy or her clanmates and she's a heart-winner. Shellfur can joke, tease and laugh her way into your heart and there she rules. A lot of older warriors see her as an almost-annoying little sister because for a warrior she is still rather young. The thing about Shellfur is she has nearly endless energy. No one can stop her once she's going and that includes her temper. When someone pops Shellfur's good nature and finds her wrath it comes out with vengeance. Once someone has unleashed her fury, Shellfur isn't one to quit quickly. Usually however, if she gets mad at a clanmate, Shellfur will run off and sulk, blow some steam and usually bits of mangled prey are found by patrols. She just can't help it when she gets mad. Normally however, Shellfur can light up a cloudy day and seems to be everybody's little sister.
History: Life for this young warrior began with Starlingwing and Darktalon, loyal SwiftClan cats. Starlingwing died in birth with Shellkit, Thrushkit and Reedkit. Reedkit, the runt, died along with Starlingwing and as far as Shellfur knows they are buried together. Despite having no mother, Shellkit and her brother Thruskit go along well with the older nursery kits and the queens. Darktalon visited often until his death after a border fight. Devastated though they were, Shellkit wouldn't let it get her down. She still had Thrushkit and her friends. She also knew that on some level, her dead family wouldn't want her to mourn them too long. They wouldn't want her to sulk and be detached from the clan just because they weren't alive.
At six moons Shellkit became Shellpaw along with her brother. Shellpaw was mentored to a young she-cat named Bushytail, a friendly light brown she-cat that was very pretty and fairly sweet. Shellpaw became fast friends with her mentor and training seemed to speed right on by her. Bushytail was a bit eccentric and often took Shellpaw night hunting despite the dangers. Once or twice they had close calls with foxes but never got close enough to get hurt.
Soon, Shellpaw was being named a warrior. With her proud mentor in the background, like a sister and mother wrapped into one, Shellpaw became Shellfur at merely 12 moons of age. Two moons have passed since then and Shellfur has easily fallen into her place as a SwiftClan warrior.
Kin: Starlingwing- mother; Darktalon- father; Thrushfeather- brother; Reedkit- brother; Bushytail- sort-of step-mom-ish
