Personality
Positive
Cheerful
"Looks like today will be another great day!"
Specklepetal always keeps an optimistic view on life. They always try to make others happy for the day, and if they can get one cat to smile, they feel accomplished for the day.
Energetic
"Well, I cleaned the elders den and the nursery, and I went hunting and...."
They're very hyper and is often hopping around trying to accomplish many tasks(often at the same time). This ball of energy can't sit still for a minute unless they're sleeping, and even then they are a restless sleeper.
Socialable
"Hi! I'm Specklepetal, what's your name?"
Specklepetal enjoys meeting new cats, they love talking to others and listening to stories. They're an extrovert, so they enjoy the company of others and enjoy their clan mates."
Playful
"Oh! Can we go play with the moss outside?"
Specklepetal loves having fun, they often use their spare time to play with other apprentices.
Neutral
Absentminded
"Oh, that? I, un, forgot about it, sorry..."
Specklepetal is often forgetful of what they need to do. They have a hard time retaining information, such as fighting moves because they were too excited, while other times they were trying to accomplish too many things at once.
Parental
"It's okay, everything will be alright"
Specklepetal is drawn to their instincts, they care for others and look out for them. They are protective of those they care about, and are gentle to those who need it. Though Specklepetal may take a little too far, getting into "parent" mode when someone their own age does something that Specklepetal feels like they need to lecture.
Unaggressive
"We don't need to fight! Let's just talk about it!"
Even though their training under the job that requires them to be aggressive, they're not really a fighter. While they can throw down if needed, they choose to solve things with their words instead of violence. Though this usually leads to them being unprepared when violence is the only answer.
Negative
Anxious
"They were an adult an now, and that idea kinda made them... sad? Worried? Specklepaw didn't know what they felt."
Specklepetal had become anxious about many things: their placement in the clan, if what they do is right or wrong, and where they stood in terms of their clanmates. Specklepetal usually holds in these worries, and only a few selected cats get to hear their worries.
Clumsy
"Ah, watch out!"
Specklepaw gets cuts and bruises, but often not from training. They're careless, so they bump into others a lot, but they also fall a lot, bump into trees and bushes, and get stuck in various places.
Inappropriate
"Whatever! I got stuff to do anyway!"
Sometimes they can't read a situation. They'll either continue to act happy in critical times or ask questions that others aren't comfortable with. They don't do it to be mean, but they don't know when to stop until someone says so.
Repressed
"I'm doing fine..."
Specklepetal, as much as they would love to let it all out, bottle up their opinions and thoughts. They didn't want to burden anyone with their feelings, and be shunned from their clan because of their thoughts. Specklepetal will gladly listen to others, and will act as a martyr of sorts, sacrifice their feelings in order to comfort others.
History
Specklepaw was born to a queen named Dapplestripe. The queen would often go hunting and exploring by herself. She was fascinated by nature and the tranquil parts of the territory. Once, she met a tom, a rouge. She was fascinated by the tom, and loved hearing the stories he had to tell her about the places he saw. He was fascinated, and unique, and several moons later after he was long gone, she was heavy with a kit.
Dapplestripe was ill, and unable to birth her kits successfully. She died giving birth to her kit, and it was up to the care takers to bring the lone kit up. They put them with the other kits without parents, and the kit brought into the world under sad circumstances didn't seem so sad anymore.
The kit stuck with a care taker at all times. They noticed how gentle they would speak to them and how they would tell stories to the kits. Some would even play along with the kits. They felt the love from the care takers, and knew they would risked their lives for all of the kits. Specklekit didn't care for hunting and fighting, they figured that if they became a care taker, they could play with kits and stay in the nursery! So, they excitedly applied to become a care taker.
Specklepaw's apprenticeship wasn't what they imagined though. In the beginning, it was often quiet and peaceful, only wanting to please her clan and leader. However, war broke out and Specklepaw had been left alone. The warriors had their own battle, while Specklepaw wanted it to end. They were alone, having to deal with the information that Monarchstar was their kin alone, and transitioning from genderfluid to non-binary. They didn't want to burden their clan with their problems, and soon they learned to bottle up their feelings.
Specklepaw quickly became Specklepetal, and they promise to be a good caretaker to the clan.
Eventually, Specklepetal came to the slow realization that they didn't need the approval of Monarch, who was kicked down from her position by Silverstar. Specklepetal for awhile felt anger and didn't want Monarchflame to live in Marshclan, voting to cast her out. However, they realized that it would only do nothing, seeing as how Monarchflame was dying. That's when they felt pity for their half-sister. Today, they search for herbs to help ease Monarchflame's suffering, while managing their apprentice Stoatpaw. Specklepetal tries everyday to be a good warrior.

ROLEPLAY EXAMPLE
Hawkpath said it sounded like an interesting game, and Fawnheart gave a chuckle, "Yeah, but now that I'm older it was really dangerous for kits playing it. Our mom would get pretty mad about it. She would always scold us if she caught us playing it, and after Sapphire fell in the rubbish she scolded us for days." As Hawkpath continued on, he heard her purr, and started to wonder if she felt comfortable with him telling her about his family. Especially since she lost her family so young, something he couldn't possibly relate to, among many other things.
She was born in a harsh environment where only her clan were her protection against nature. The clans had to hunt for food, go days without it, and fend off not only a clan but diseases as well. Meanwhile, Fawnheart and his family were basically fed by the twolegs, guaranteed the food from the Sun-drown-place no matter what season, and the abandon buildings provided shelter for them. If cats got seriously sick they would just go to a twoleg and wait for it to take pity on them and take them to make them better. Twolegs loved the cats in the west, therefore they would do anything for the cats. Here the cats needed to depend on each other and that was something he always admired. He realized that was probably why he faced the prejudice he did, and really he couldn't complain, because the problems that he had before paled in comparison in what they had to deal with since birth. He was lucky that they took him in at all.
