JOINED: June 21, 2015
Name: Quailkit
Previous names: Arzik - Quailkit - ___ - ____
Gender: Female
Rank: Kit
Mentor/Apprentice: N/A
Appearance: A grey cat with thick, dark, rounded stripes, a reddish-brown face, and dark grey-blue eyes. Fuzzy, soft, short fur. Unknown breed.
Skills: tracking (great sense of smell & good eyesight), climbing trees, squeezing into small spaces (even though she's pudgy, she's also on the smaller size)
Weaknesses: fighting (especially when it comes to brute force - she's not very strong), running (she's pudgy and has a tendency to not pay enough attention to her surroundings to avoid tripping), being awake any time in the afternoon (very much a morning person)
Personality:
- Overdramatic - If she trips over a twig, she will lie on the ground for a solid minute (both dying of embarrassment and focusing on the pain until she's absolutely certain she'll never be able to walk again). She also has a tendency to over-react to what others say; if someone says something vague and negative, she will automatically assume it is about her and never speak to that cat again so she doesn't bother them.
- Empathetic - Whatever your problem is, Quailkit will do her best to sit with you patiently as you complain about things. She will comfort you if you are upset and do her best to make you feel better.
- Observant - Many times, Quailkit will choose to watch, wait, and listen. She likes to get the feel of things before she jumps into them. However, she can be a pretty impatient cat, so the observations will often last for a very short while before she can't help but get involved.
- Expressive - Quailkit is *very* obvious when it comes to facial expression / body language. She also has a tendency to mumble things to herself. Beyond that, if she has a thought, she will often just blurt it out.
- Codependent - (this is probably going to be a trait that forms as she gets older) Definitely the type of cat that will light herself on fire to keep others warm. She doesn't realize that she does this; she just wants to be as helpful as possible to everyone, and doesn't notice the sacrifices she makes to do this. However, she can become resentful of others (without fully realizing that the reason is because she has given up so much for them, and they have offered not enough in return). She just needs to be needed.
- Honest - Quailkit doesn't really have a filter. At the moment (if she decides to talk), she blurts things out, and doesn't stop to think twice about her words until someone starts crying or gives her a weird look.
- Inquisitive - Quailkit wants to know everything about the world around her. She wants to understand how birds fly, she wants to watch trees grow and change the colors of their leaves, she wants to understand the workings of the clan... She will break rules just to see more and learn more, if she has to (and is pretty sure she won't get caught).
- Affectionate - If Quailkit likes or admires you, she will not hesitate to let you know. Mostly, she likes doing this through words. She also enjoys a lot of physical contact (snuggling, napping together, sharing tongues, etc). If you ever receive a gift from her, that means she REALLY likes you. She is generally not a gift-giver.
- Adaptable - Quailkit pretty much bounces back, no matter the new situation she's thrown into. Born into a twolegplace? Sure, she'll roam around with her mother and make nice with the humans. Tossed from a comfortable home into a wilder one? Sure, she'll make friends with those that she can and try to learn how to hunt and fight (even though she's still too young for either). She keeps a positive attitude, always looking forward to the next adventure - no matter what form it takes.
- Confrontational - Quail will not hesitate to fight you if she feels insulted. She absolutely hates it when cats are rude, and won't hesitate to show it. She doesn't like taking the passive-aggressive route; if she can, she will get in your face about what she doesn't like about you.
Fears: abandonment, foxes, disappointing those she admires
Extra: She is very opinionated, but changes them as easily as she forms them. She will take any chance she can get to get her fur dirty / muddy. She can have a somewhat dark sense of humor.

History:
Early Kit-hood
Quail was born in a litter of two underneath the porch of an elderly woman's house. Her mother, Riley, was a stray, the kind that had learned how to get along with the local Twolegs and get food and shelter with only a bit of fuss. It wasn't a hard life, but the mother wanted the absolute best life that she could give to her kits (or at least, that's what she told herself). Her first, Yvonne, she deposited on the front step of the old woman's house as soon as she could manage. The other kit, Arzik, she decided was not fit for being a pet. She constantly wandered off, having an affinity for going too close to Monsters and dogs. Riley decided to take her somewhere dogs and monsters wouldn't be as much of a problem. She set off, following rumors of a group of friendly cats that lived in the forest. She figured that her more adventurous kit would get into less trouble there. Finally, after wandering for many days, she stumbled across the scent of many cats. She dropped her kit in a clearing and darted away, back to her life of semi-leisure.
Thoughts:
- [too young]
Mid Kit-hood
Quail was taken into the clan and shuffled into the nursery (along with the other bajillion kits that were getting dropped off on the territory). It was crowded, and noisy, but Quail didn't mind. As long as she had a home and was well-fed, she was happy. She was grateful to the cats for taking her in, and showed this by getting under the paws of others trying to help. She really looked up to those that were older than her, especially Ashpaw when she first met him. She interacted with a few of the other kits, and generally got into less trouble than she had at the twolegplace. She met Sootpaw, and they unofficially adopted each other as siblings almost immediately. Already the small kit feels very at home, very welcomed, and very comfortable. She is still getting the hang of interacting with cats other than her mother, but the friendliness of most of the other cats has helped her with this.
- Quailkit mostly focused on befriending apprentices, as she wanted to learn new things from them and admired them a lot.
- Quailkit isn't disdainful of the other kits, but mostly doesn't think they're worth her time at the moment. She's got bigger aspirations than batting balls of moss around.
Thoughts:
- [prior to interaction] - "I hope I can talk to some of the others, here!! There are so many cats...I'm sure I'll make friends easily!!"
- [First interactions] - "Well...some of the kits are kinda weird... But some of them are nice! I'm still hoping I can make friends."
- [6/23/15] - "I made a new friend!!! His name is Sootpaw. He's magical and wonderful and so nice. He adopted me as his little sister. I'm really, really happy."
- [6/25/15] - "I think the only cat that likes me is Sooty. Everyone else hates me or doesn't care. Whatever. I don't need them."
- [6/25/15] - "I was over-reacting. Other cats are nice. Even Robinpaw was being kinda nice by the end of the day. I...feel like I should give everyone another chance. It's just hard to talk to others when you're constantly worried about them disliking you. I hope I can make friends still, even after making a butt of myself."
- [6/30/15] - "I've been making more friends!! Right now my best friends are Sooty and Palekit. I really like them. Everyone else is really nice. I'm not so sure about most of the newcomers, though.

Roleplay Example: Russetpaw padded back and forth across the camp, waiting for a warrior, ANY warrior to pop out of the warriors den. She wanted to get out of camp, to look for the dogs, to end the fear and suffering her clan was enduring. The apprentice shook herself. She needed to chill out. She wasn't getting anywhere by pacing. She sat in a patch of sunlight, warming her fur, and glanced around the camp thoughtfully. She could try and patch up the loose twigs in the camp wall over near the elders den...but no one had brought in new plant materials, and she wasn't allowed to go outside on her own to gather more. The apprentice sighed quietly and resigned herself to organizing the fresh-kill pile and dithering around until someone older showed up. She padded over to the pile and started to move the corpses around, checking to make sure that everything was fresh.
