[ at least 6 traits, no less than 5 lines desc for each, positive, neutral, and negative required ]
positive trait | negative trait
[ Leaderly] Deepshade can take control when it’s needed. She doesn’t need to be the boss all the time, but she doesn’t want anyone to feel lost. If you’re looking for direction, she can help you out.
[ Alert] With a clan to help watch out for, Deepshade always tries to have her eyes open and ears pricked for anything out of the ordinary. This trait can tire her out but she stays vigilant for the sake of her clan.
[ Contemplative ] Deepshade is one who tries to think things out completely. She won’t act without thinking, unless it can’t be avoided. Jumping to conclusions has never made sense to her.
[ Self-critical] Unfortunately, Deepshade finds it easier to see the mistakes she’s made over the good decisions. She didn’t tell anyone she was expecting kits because she was devastated at the loss of her mate. Her kits were revived (both their lungs were clogged and two loners came along and revived them). She feels guilty that her kits grew up without her, and her daughter’s bitter feelings don’t help.
[ Guilty] Deepshade feels like she has a lot to be guilty about, what with her kits growing up without her and has always thought that if she had been beside Goldrush in battle she could have saved him. She’s not guilty all the time, but if left on her own too long she might start to brood.
[ Envious] This trait doesn’t surface often, but it’s hard not to feel envious of other families and cats with mates, when your mate has died and your kits didn’t grow up with you. Thankfully she’s able to focus on the positive things in her life most of the time.
Talents: Will push her feelings aside for the sake of others. Will take charge if needed. Keeps a cool head.
Flaws: Somewhat neglects her own needs.
Likes: a nice swim in warm weather. Considerate cats. humor
Dislikes: hot weather
History

WIP
[kithood] Deepkit had a fairly uneventful kithood. She was born to Darkstorm and Bronzetail. Her mother was a fierce warrior and was only in the nursery when absolutely necessary, not to say that she was an uncaring mother. Bronzetail was a gentle tom who spent a lot of time with his kits.
[apprenticeship] Deep-paw was made an apprenitce and trained under Finchwing, a newly made warrior. He was a fair mentor and she had fun as his apprentice, along with learning a lot. Finchwing’s brother, Goldrush, would often come along to train with them. Deep-paw just assumed he was bored and wanted to know what it was like to have an apprentice, when in reality Goldrush developed strong feelings for her. Two moons before she was made a warrior, her mother died of injuries in battle. The death struck her hard, and to her surprise, Goldrush tried to console her more than anyone. She was slowly able to heal with his help. When she was made a warrior he cheered the loudest. For more background on Deepshade and Goldrush read this: fav.me/d58dq6r
[warrior] Deepshade and Goldrush had not declared themselves officially as mates to the clan, but Goldrush had told her how she felt. It would be obvious to everyone soon. Not long after she was made warrior, a battle broke out between Rockyclan and Tideclan. Deepshade was separated from Goldrush during the battle. Rockyclan finally had to retreat and she went looking for Goldrush, only to find him slumped on the ground, bleeding from the throat. The tom gave her one last loving look, then perished. Needless to say, Deepshade was devastated, so much so that when she found out she was expecting kits she didn’t tell anyone and birthed them in secret outside the clan. For more about that read: fav.me/d5an56e
After the loss of her mate and kits, Deepshade didn’t think she’d ever truly be happy again, but the pain slowly ebbed to a dull ache. She was given a young cat, Frigidpaw, as an apprentice. Frigidpaw was able to draw her out of her shell and Deepshade experienced happiness once more. They trained together and told each other stories, and Frigidpaw was learned of her sad past. After Frigidnight was made a warrior, she became mates with Fishbone and had her own kits, much to Deepshade’s own happiness.
Not long after that, Branchpaw, the Tideclan healer apprentice came across a loner names Flicker. Flicker had a brother names Rush, and it turned out they were the kits that Deepshade had thought dead. The two were accepted into Tideclan and Deepsahde now spends her time getting to know them.

RP SAMPLE
Deepshade passed through the cats at the Gathering, intent on finding only one cat: Tarpit. The Rockyclan elder reminded her of the snakes that slithered in their territory. Her muzzle wrinked in distaste just thinking about him. She imagined how sweet it would feel to sink her claws into the old tom's fur, how justified it would be to clench her teeth in his throat. She blinked in the midst of the gathering clans. What dark thoughts; their intensity frightened her, but what scared her more, was how much she wished to act on those wishes.
