Cat Name: dizzyskip
Gender: male
Rank: warrior
Clan: hazeclan
Age: 1 year
Kitty trying out for: #3307Prompt: dizzyskip is an excitable young warrior, still so wrapped up in childhood memories despite their age. he's always loved playing pretend and dressing up, even if his clanmates think it's a waste of time and he would be better dedicating his time to hunting or patrolling. he thinks that it would be best to combine these, though, and that if he was more creative about the way he trained it would motivate him to do it more.
because of this, his dreams are often just as creative as he is. they're whimsical and wild, filled with fantastical things that could never happen in real life. mythical creatures, new undiscovered lands that don't even exist and far more inexplainable concepts circle around his brain and fill the dream world, displayed only outside of that by the twitch of his paws or a snapping of his jaws in his sleep as he chases invisible prey. dizzyskip loves to share his dreams with others, but often gets funny looks for it.

Cat Name: leopardpounce
Gender: female
Rank: warrior
Clan: hazeclan
Age: 6 years
Kitty trying out for: #2156Prompt: leopardpounce is often told she's over-emotional by others, whether for good reason or not. she tends to overthink certain things, or feel paranoid about what could happen to her clanmates if she isn't focused enough on protecting them. she has more than enough experience as a warrior by now, yet still fears the unexpected.
a prime example of this would be how she handles situations involving high amounts of conflict. that may be a cat outside of the clan crossing the borders of hazeclan territory, or even something more severe such as the threat of a battle sparking. in the past, one of the latter situations happened and she was assigned to take a patrol into the territory of the opposing clan to try to mediate the conflict before it grows into something that would endanger the members of both of their groups. she was sent as backup, alongside some more level-headed cats to serve as peacekeepers and try to talk some sense.
she had a bad feeling about this. the whole journey into the other group's territory, a nauseating feeling ate at her stomach and chest, weighing on her mind. though she hoped it wouldn't be the case, leopardpounce was the only one in that patrol who seemed to see the possibility of this going south. and she ended up being right - while they were talking, several cats from the other group launched an attack on them, something that the warrior had anticipated prior to the point where she was able to screech a warning to her clanmates and help avoid a much more dangerous surprise attack.
when they made it back to their own camp and leopardpounce sat in the medicine den alongside her patrolmates, she remembers how they praised and congratulated her and for once, her excessively emotional nature felt almost validated instead of her constantly being belittled for it and it made her happy. things changed after that, and her intuition was seen as something useful as she had gut feelings that other cats didn't seem to have, with the suspicions nearly always being right.

Cat Name: poppydance
Gender: female
Rank: warrior
Clan: hazeclan
Age: 2 years
Kitty trying out for: #1479Prompt: poppydance gained her wounds for a reason most would call foolish, including herself and her own clanmates. this reason? being attacked by prey. a rather large and surprisingly strong rabbit, to be more specific.
she considered herself a bad hunter, and many other would agree. despite her amazing agility and skill in battle, hunting made her nervous as she had always hated the idea of harming prey, even if it's something clan cats needed to do to survive. poppydance had been told by others on multiple occasions that perhaps kittypet life would be better suited for her, considering her supposed 'emotional weakness' and the fact she found it difficult to hurt the creatures they needed to kill to have any food.
at the time, she had been on a hunting patrol with a few other of her clanmates, and was chosen to perform the final blow on a rabbit they had been cornering. looking back, this was a terrible choice on her clanmates' behalf and she had no idea why they would choose her of all cats to do something she certainly wouldn't be able to do. so to nobody's surprise, when she was faced with the rabbit she panicked and shrunk back, not wanting to harm such a 'cute' creature. it leapt forward and bucked at her face with its claws, managing to leave her with a few nice scrapes across her face and shoulders before scampering off to a field.
though this wasn't the best occurrence, poppydance was happy that after what happened, even if they had lost prey that would be valuable to her clan it didn't make anyone angry at her as they acknowledged they made a mistake in making her face the rabbit directly knowing she'd be afraid of doing so. in future, she was assigned to help more behind the scenes and would perform tasks related to battle preparation and helping to gather herbs for their medicine cats.
