NAME// otterstep.
AGE// 36 moons.
GENDER// female.
CLAN// zephyrclan.
DESIRED POSITION// warrior.
SHORT DESCRIPTION// Small white & brown she-cat of ZephyrClan who is unable to kit.


DESCRIPTION//

eyes
Her eyes are a very light and soft yellow. Nothing too spectacular or shiny, yet don't be surprised if you get lost in her inquisitive gaze she'll give you.

pelt & build
Otterstep's build is very small, and very lean, even for a Zephyr cat. Her small shape carries an orange coat, bombarded by black markings, inter-weaving themselves in with the amber base.

physical traits
She's a fabulous hunter, able to chase down almost any hare with ease, thanks to her small frame and quick strides. But when it comes to battling, she was not lucky and was not blessed with talent - like she was with her hunting abilities. It's almost like a cat and mouse game with her and her opponent, trying to run at her opponent's ever blow.

PERSONALITY//

motherly
her instincts shone brightly while she was in the nursery during those few short times. The way she was around the other litters and how she treated herself was just so gentle and loving.

analytical
Otterpelt is constantly curious as to what is going on around her, sometimes getting her in a fit of annoyance when someone won't tell her something. if you don't know her that well, you may quickly make a poor first impression since she asks so many questions.

helpful
she loves to be of assistance, always thinking that some sort of reward comes out of it, no matter if it's for others or herself.

timid & shy
because of her childhood, she's not so gregarious as she was in her kit moons. she tends to stay away from people she does not know due to distress.

"depressed"
because of her lack in ability to create offspring and reproduce successfully, Otterpelt has had a wave of depression wash over her, so she hasn't been in the same 'curious mood' she's usually in. she seems as though she's stuck on a track of sleep: > hunt > eat > patrol > eat > patrol > sleep. for example.

EXPERIENCE//

kit
Growing up, Otterpelt was very curious & a bit annoying, but that's almost how every kit should be now and again. Yet her sarcastic sibling, Pepperbreath, never got that. She tried to be playful, but with her snide comments, Otterpelt's feelings were hurt constantly. It made her feel as though everything she did was wrong and the fact her own sister seemed to be making fun of her hurt. Over time, her curiosity did not subside, but she did become a lot more timid in her actions and shy around strangers, scared she would be made fun of like her sister did. She's not very close with her sister, avoiding her in a lot of cases.

apprentice
not many exciting stories could be told from her apprentice times, except for when she got the notch in her ear. Her and a few other apprentices were sparring and she stumbled into the thorn brambles. Just getting a few scratches, it wasn't such a big deal to her, until her ear got stuck. She panicked, yowled at the pain as she was trying to pull away from the bush, and she accomplished her goal. Otterpelt did come free, but with a cost, being the small lack of ear skin.

warrior/queen
Otter was so excited to have her kits. After seeing all of the other mothers, she knew she would want to be a queen, it was a sort of dream of hers. After getting her own mate, she knew she was ready to step down as a warrior and settle down - but there were complications. Half way through her first pregnancy, she kitted. It was mainly blood - You couldn't even see the bodies (says the medicine cat to Otterpelt.) She had a miscarriage.
After praying to Starclan that their souls rested well, she tried again. She thought she was successful, making it more than halfway through! But she was a bit worried. All of the other queens had exclaimed about feeling them kick or move around, but she herself had never felt it, only said she did so she didn't feel out of place. In the end, she gave birth to three lifeless kits. She cried. Depression washed over her and to top it all off, her mate left her.
