Appearance:
Name: Owlshriek
Clan: SnowClan
Gender: She-cat
Status: Warrior
Appearance:
Describing Owlshriek as a magnificent beauty just might be an understatement--as long as she sits still. Her gait is erratic and jumpy, lacking all the grace that her appearance implies, and let's not even go into her personality. But alone, Owlshriek's appearance is simply stunning. Her body is well-muscled and lithe, with slightly short limbs. As is characteristic of most SnowClan cats, Owlshriek's fur is thick and sleek, to guard against the chill. The base shade of her coat is a pale silver, perfect camouflage for snowy surroundings. Charcoal stripes and tick-marks interrupt the crisp silver on her head, legs, and back, accented by subtle copper tints, especially on her back. Her long, feathered tail is ringed with charcoal, in a manner reminiscent of a raccoon. Owlshriek's facial features are precisely carved and elegant, with a short muzzle, wide, owl-like green eyes, and large ears.Personality:
As quickly as Owlshriek's attractive appearance will lure the toms, her personality will scare them away. Here's the impression everybody gets, once they get past Owlshriek's striking looks:History:
What a weirdo.
Owlshriek just wants to be liked. She wants nothing more in the world than groups of giggling friends to gossip with, a mate to grow old with, a family to raise. But deep down, even she recognizes this as an impossibility. It's impossible because Owlshriek is, frankly, socially retarded. Either she has no idea what to say, or says far too much. The latter situation is much more common. Owlshriek has a problem with bluntness--she'll tell the truth and give her opinion on any subject, whether or not honesty is appropriate for the situation. The words just tumble out, and generally leave Owlshriek feeling rotten in the results of her spontaneous verbal diarrhea. Of course, there are times when she can't speak a word, because she knows that the moment she opens her mouth, volumes will come pouring out. In either case, the result is misunderstanding.
This might not seem particularly serious, but Owlshriek does have some real issues. For one, she's clinically bipolar--she has a chemical imbalance in the brain that leaves her either maniacally jubilant twenty four seven, or terrifically depressed. There's hardly any middle ground on the emotional rollercoaster that is Owlshriek's daily life.
Owlshriek also has a tendency to talk to herself. This may be the result of her distinct lack of friends, or, as is the popular opinion, she might just be crazy.
But once you get past all of these odd traits--if you can--there's a different side of Owlshriek that's made visible. A calm cat, without the twitchy nervousness of her alter ego. A sweet, caring, down-to-earth sort, absolutely stinking of maternal instinct. And, most importantly, a warrior loyal to her Clan above all things.
Owlshriek was born to, surprise surprise, a drug addict mother. In the big city, there was no shortage of narcotics floating around the streets, and gaining possession of them was a breeze, especially if you happened to be the pet of one of the city's most affluent dealers. It was cocaine, to be specific, that had Daisy hooked a month into her first pregnancy. Her owner didn't notice when she got into his stash, and smuggling a few grams here and there was fairly easy. But it wasn't long before the drugs would be the end for Daisy, and, before her newborn kits were even a month old, she overdosed and died. Her owner, not willing to put up with the trouble of three kittens to look after, promptly disposed of them by dropping them off on the side of the road, coincidentally near SnowClan territory.Kin:
The three kittens were quickly found by a SnowClan patrol, and brought back to camp, where they all had normal childhoods, never knowing of their sketchy heritage.
