▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁Littlepaw was born approximately nine moons ago to Fallowstream and Cedarflight. Both cats were smaller than average, resulting in Littlepaw's tiny stature alongside the fact that she was premature. Littlepaw actually had one full-blooded sibling; he was a highly underdeveloped stillborn kit that was deemed Owlkit. Her life was normal for the first three moons. However, that changed when Cedarflight admitted to Fallowstream that he was actually the father of Cindercloud, a she-cat he had brought into the clan when she was barely a moon old. He had told the clan that he'd just found her, and Fallowstream- already his lover -believed him. Fallowstream, despite her size, was by no means a gentle she-cat. She actually broken Cedarflight's leg in the fight that broke out, forcing the forty-five moon old tom to retire to the elders' den prematurely. It was a minor break, but the medicine cat of the time was very unfamiliar with breaks and how they were healed and therefore Cedarflight's leg healed incorrectly. Fallowstream was stuck on the dawn patrol every day for two moons straight and both were highly disrespected after the incident. Cindercloud wasn't affected much, but she did take an interest in her younger sister.
Littlekit was a sickly kit. She was constantly in the medicine den for treatment, and since Fallowstream chose to continue with her normal warrior duties when Littlekit was big enough not to need heat and milk too much, Littlekit didn't really have a consistent mother figure before Cindercloud took an interest in her. After the gray tabby she-cat found out that Littlekit was her younger sister, however, Cindercloud visited her every day and argued with the leader when it came the time that Littlekit was, indeed, ready to become an apprentice and shouldn't be denied the right to it. Since Littlekit seemed to be doing better and the medicine cat agreed with Cindercloud, Yellowstar reluctantly agreed and made Littlekit into Littlepaw.
Littlepaw worked hard to be recognized as an equal to her new denmates; she worked hard enough, in fact, that she was put into very good shape and is actually very lithe and fast, especially for her size. She loved and loves running, and it became clear after just two moons of training that tracking was her strong suit. Littlepaw could quickly and quietly find pretty much any target, no matter how intricate and faint the trail was.
A moon before the fire, Littlepaw's mother died of greencough, so Littlepaw had already suffered before the great tragedy.
When the fire happened, however, she had been napping. She'd been on the dawn patrol and was going to be introduced to night watch the following night; she was only awakened by a shrill scream, and when she came fully to, the air was becoming thick with smoke. Dread filled her, and she shot toward the exit, only to be met by Cindercloud. Her sister wordlessly and easily scooped her up in her jaws and shot off; the two of them barely escaped with their lives, both of them covered in burn scars and bearing smoldering pelts by the time they caught up with the remainders of the clans.
Littlepaw discovered that Cedarflight had been too slow with his limp and had perished in the fire, striking even more grief into Littlepaw. By now, she can talk about her parents' deaths without having to go away to cry, but it is still a very touchy subject and she'll avoid it at all costs.

Of course, she isn't mean; actually, Littlepaw is probably more conscious of what she says and the alternate meanings than most cats are. She just isn't necessarily kind or gentle in any way, taking after her mother. Littlepaw has the tendency to be as honest as she can be while also trying not to offend anyone, and contrary to popular stereotypes, Littlepaw isn't very shy. She'll strike up a conversation with anybody who'll talk to her, and since she is a pretty good listener and she has a knack for filling awkward silences, she can usually keep a conversation going. This means that she generally gets along with cats who are more outgoing. Littlepaw also really isn't one to joke, though, so while she'll still laugh at other cats' jokes, they won't necessarily come to her for amusement.
Littlepaw's biggest downfalls personality-wise would be her raging pessimism and her sarcastic tendencies. Her first thoughts are always the most negative thoughts, and because of this, Littlepaw doesn't come across as a happy cat. She tries not to be too pessimistic out loud, but cats often tell her she needs to cheer up a bit. Also, some cats can appreciate her sarcasm and even return it; these are the cats that Littlepaw will talk to again. However, it irritates others to no end, so sometimes, cats immediately dislike her. This bothers Littlepaw a lot, actually. All she really wants is some friends; it's because of this that she can be a bit naive and overly trusting sometimes.
One thing that cannot be denied about Littlepaw is that she is very athletic. She goes on a walk or just runs every morning, waking up earlier than necessary to do so. Actually, she usually gets up with the cats on the dawn patrol so that she can leave before she's needed for anything (unless she's on the dawn patrol) and so that she can watch the sunrise for a little bit. She can also be quite competitive, always feeling like she needs to prove herself to others. The rest of her personality will develop as the role play goes on.
