Written Physical Description: Sootpaw has one unique detail that sets her apart from most of the cats in her Kingdom is her short tail, however this tail is also studded by a large crystal, the same kind that has made their mark on her forelegs and neck. This short apprentice has a mostly silver-gray coat, however she has dark-gray stripes marking her body and black ears and toes. Along with this, this long-furred feline has much lighter silver backpaws, the same color of her chin and chest. Dark gray tufts show the ends of her ears, the same gray making a stripe across her face. Pale silver tufts pop out of her ears. All these colors help to compliment her purplish eyes.
Personality Info
+Independent – Sootpaw very much likes to do things on her own. She follows her own heart and is resourceful enough to get things done on her own.
+Creative – Despite liking to be on her own, Sootpaw has a very active mind. She can come up with wild ideas on the spot and generally executes them well.
+Tactful – Sootpaw is very good at making plans. She always plans ahead and gets things done in a timely manner.
+Charismatic – Sootpaw, like most of the Listener category, is very good at using her tongue. She finds it easy to talk cats in and out of things and may even be a good mediator if she wasn't so selfish.
=Realist – Not seeing this positively nor negatively, Sootpaw makes it a point for others to know that she sees things how they really are. She is quick to shoot down those who put every little thing on a high pedestal, however is equally as eager to tell others off for being pessimistic about things.
=Stubborn – Sootpaw is a cat who is very set in her ways, often choosing her own path instead of sticking to one everyone else is on. This is good, as she has her own opinion, but also pretty bad considering she finds it hard to see things in a different light.
=Restless – Sootpaw is always on the move. She always wants to be doing something and hates when others tell her 'no'. This does mean that she gets things done in a considerable amount of time, however.
-Prankster – Sootpaw, while having all the makings of a good contributor, tends to spend her time playing jokes on the younger members of the clan and even some of the older ones, as she has issues focusing on needed tasks and would rather do something she wants to do, such as putting ants in the other apprentices' nests.
-Reckless – Sootpaw seems to work on an impulse, doing dangerous things simply for the thrill of it. Her tactful trait, however, helps to assist in keeping her out of trouble when she is on her own.
-Selfish – Everything Sootpaw does is for herself. She only gets food for herself, does things for own pleasure, etc. A good way to make a deal with her is to promise she will get something that she wants out of it.
-Manipulative – Sootpaw, as a result of her selfish trait, tends to use other cats around her to get what she wants, often using her knowledge of their ties to the other cats around her or their truths and lies in order to get things done. She also tends to make even a temporary bond with a cat she has no interest in knowing about simply to see their connections and learn their secrets.
Side Information - Sootpaw suffers from the occasional depressed episode, usually waking up with nightmares of the pain Owlslate must have gone through during his death simply because of her overactive imagination. This is partially what causes her distaste of sleeping. Along with this, Sootpaw is still in a bad relationship with her mother.

History
Now we get to the biggest part of this application, but it also tends to be the easiest for some. I would recommend writing your history first and getting the idea of your cat before clarifying what traits they have above! It has always helped me write quicker and more accurate bios! You don't have to write your history as though you were answering these questions, but they do help to expand more upon your character.
Kit –
Sootkit had a very rocky childhood. Her mother was quick to dismiss her existence, as Willowpebble had not wanted the litter to begin with, and instead accidentally got pregnant during a fling with a warrior named Owlslate. While her mother didn't want her, Owlslate was quick to step up and parent the young, lonely kitten with no siblings. Appreciative of the company, Sootkit was basically a duckling that followed Owlslate, constantly interested in what he was up to. Of course, she got answers from the caring tom, even being taught the basics of charm making from Owlslate--not that she was ever any good at it considering her age. Even so, his encouragement and positivity was contagious and she would always have a good time when around him, no matter the activity. Life was wonderful up until Sootkit was around three moons of age. Like an average day, Sootkit was hanging around camp, waiting for Owlslate to come back from whatever he was up to, when news came that a far away sector of the cavern had collapse, killing two cats, one being Owlslate. Sootkit was devastated, especially when they were able to dig out the body of the fallen cats two or three days later. Sootkit was alarmed at the broken state of Owlslate's body, her grief twisting her personality and attitude, especially due to her lack of any other close friends. She began to act out, playing cruel jokes on those around her mostly in the hope others' suffering, though temporary, may help her get over her own. She became extremely hard to deal with when suddenly Willowpebble came to her for comfort as well, suddenly caring about the death of her former mate. Sootkit, around five moons at this time, had thought that their relationship was firmly established and quickly dismissed Willowpebble's efforts, fed up with cats that had shown no interest in her trying to make her feel better and growing more independent. She became more manipulative and determined to make a good life for herself without the help from cats around her.
