My {Hope} Will {Blossom} Inside Me

[``Rosestep]

Name: Hopeblossom
Age: 28 Moons
Gender: She-cat
Rank: Warrior
Personality:

Hopeblossom is a very proud cat. She refuses to accept a missing leg as a disability. She walks with her head and tail held high, with purpose in her stride. Being proud as she is, she is unwilling to accept help from any cat. She is very good at improvising and adapting so that she can do everything to the best of her ability. Hopeblossom has some strange hunting and fighting techniques, but they work for her. She is always looking for a way to prove herself, to prove that she is just as good as everybody else in the Clan. She is very competitive, and sometimes takes her competitive spirit too far. One of her favorite things to see is the surprise in other cats' eyes when she does something that they don't think she should be able to do.

Hopeblossom is not a very social she-cat. She finds it hard to make friends, because she tends to think that other cats are only being nice to her because they pity her. She has hidden her heart beneath a hard outer shell and kept it away from the other cats in the forest.

Short Description:

A black, white, and ginger striped cat with blue eyes and only three legs.

Appearance:

The first thing you notice about Hopeblossom is she only has three legs. Her right front leg is missing. There's just nothing there. It ends at her shoulder. She was born that way, so there's no stub or scar there. It's just not there.

Other than that, Hopeblossom is just a normal she-cat. Her undercoat is white, as well as her belly, chest, and her paws. She has large ginger and black patches. The color patches aren't just solid color, but they are formed from patches of colored tabby stripes. She is a spotted-striped cat! She has spots of stripes. Her tail is also black, and has darker rings around it. Hopeblossom has unusually tall ears and a long tail, which helps her balance better to make up for her missing leg. Her eyes are a light, icey blue color, but they are usually soft. They can get very defensive if she thinks somebody doesn't think she can handle her disability.

History:

Hopeblossom was born with only three legs. Her mother gave her the name Hopekit because she wanted her kit to always have hope and know that she could do anything that she set her mind to. As a kit, she never let this stop her from playing with her litter-mates.

She had a very hard time as an apprentice. She was given an excellent warrior as a mentor, but he just didn't know how to train her. Everything he tried to teach her wouldn't quite work exactly the way it should, because of her disability. She began to get depressed and think of herself as worthless. Another apprentice, a good friend of hers, talked her out of her miserable state. That friend pointed out that Hopepaw could do anything. She just had to keep trying.

And so, Hopepaw set out on a mission to become the best warrior she could be. She watched her mentor demonstrate hunting crouches and fighting moves, and modified them to fit for herself. She learned slower than the other cats her age, because she had to try new ways to do things all the time. Nobody had ever had to do this before.

Hopeblossom received her warrior name when she was fourteen moons old, a bit older than most cats. Her leader gave her the name blossom because of the way she'd blossomed and learned new things. Since then, Hopeblossom has accepted more that she can't do everything, but that as much as she can do is enough.

Family:

none of importance.
