Ripplepaw

Ripplepaw awoke with a tiny mew. He had been asleep the entire time. The small apprentice wobbled to his small paws, meowing noisily as he wondered where everyone was. He heard a lot of the hustle and bustle outside but decided not to investigate it. It was much too warm in the apprentice's den to simply leave it in favor of some noisy outside. He shook himself and called out for his friends in his soft, dainty voice.

"Lycorispaw? Ivypaw? Leafpaw? Anyone?" the Siamese meowed, wriggling his little tail. The gray tom fluffed himself out as he rolled over and back into bed, moss and straw collecting in his drab fur. He looked like a dustbunny, save for his intelligent blue eyes.

His friends had probably started their rounds, leaving him to sleep the day away. Ripplepaw groaned and rubbed his face, shaking out his fur and brushing it down. He knew he had to pull himself out of bed before he got in trouble with Autumnstar. His ears bent back at that. He liked Autumnstar and would dread doing anything that made his leader scold him.

Ripplepaw’s fur isn’t shaggy in an unkempt way but it is long and a bit wispy, kind of like the branches of a willow tree. It’s flyaway and will grow shorter as he does, much like a baby swan loses its down in favor of sleek feathers. This Siamese tom is mostly light-gray but his ears, paws, muzzle and tail are a dark-gray, like the color of a storm cloud. This type of coloring is called lilac-point.

He’s small and delicate, so his paws aren’t much to brag about but you’ve got to love those hooked avian talons hidden there. He’s not tall either but he does have a special talent. Ripplepaw can cling to trees with those hooked claws of his and proceed to raid bird nests for eggs and parents. He can do it so fast that you wonder how he got there to begin with. Ripplepaw’s slender skill can only be used for catching birds in the places where they escape his kin on the ground. This skill comes from large, dark-gray ears atop his circular head; a dark-gray square nose set into a little muzzle; tiny grasping paws; and eyes that resemble the ocean at twilight.

Speaking of body size, this small tom is the runt of the litter and neither muscular for strength or skinny for speed. He’s just…there, quite a bump on a log if you ask me. Yeah, his fur makes him look bigger than he is, but that’s only if he’s scared or surprised.

Ripplepaw is a thorough cat. Whatever he does, he does to the best and most efficient of his ability. He isn’t like other males, who seem to be concerned about power and becoming the best warrior in the Clan. He’s kind, sensitive, soft-spoken, and quite amiable. If there was you were embarrassed to talk about something, you could probably come to Ripplepaw about it. He’s astute to your problems, compassionate and flexible. He barely has a temper, and it takes quite a lot to flare it up to the point of no control.

He’s elegant and self-assured, always doing things with a steady state of grace and composure, but he’s cautious about things. Ripplepaw is quite an artistic character, having a creative mind with games, stories, and just about everything else that could be going on. However, there are times where Ripplepaw can become moody or detached in some situations
