<sub>Name: Sweetpoppy
Past Names: Sweetkit, Sweetpaw
Gender: She-cat
Age: Fifteen moons
Breed: Bengal x Bombay mix
Rank: Apprentice
Clan: IceClan
Personality: [Friendly] [Careful] [Thoughtful] [Loyal] [Weak Skin] [Daydreamer]

Friendly- Sweetpoppy truly lives up to her name. She'd love to get along with everyone and just make friends. She's not one for fighting, and would prefer to talk things out than to unsheathe her claws. She's a social butterfly and is a sweet, gentle cat once you befriend her, which isn't very hard- usually all a cat has to say is "Hello, my name is..." and Sweetpoppy will decide she likes them. However, she has been known to be a bit shy around authorities of other Clans, and her mate, Kovu.

Careful- Sweetpoppy is not one to rush into things blindly, and likes to pause and think things through. She's a nervous cat sometimes when it comes to dangerous situations, and would never be one to lead the battle charge. She is not an ambitious cat, though if ever asked, she would be a cautious and thoughtful sort of leader. She may not be the leader of the battle party, but will certainly be the one to scope and figure one out.

Thoughtful- Besides being social, Sweetpoppy loves to think and puzzle over things. She can constantly be found pausing and mulling things over- you can tell if Sweetpoppy is thinking when her eyes cloud over, and her left ear droops. It literally takes physical contact to jolt Sweetpoppy back into reality. She isn't embarrassed by how she thinks, and is one to think up battle plans even if she doesn't approve of fighting. Whenever it comes to a puzzle or problem, Sweetpoppy's usually the one to hurry and figure it out.

Loyal- Sweetpoppy would do anything for her Clan and friends. Since she never grew up knowing a mother's touch or a father's pride, she counts her friends and Clanmates as her family, and treats them as if they truly were linked to her by blood. She puts her friends and Clan first and would gladly lay her life down for any of them. It's hard to get Sweetpoppy to dislike you, and even if you did, Sweetpoppy would still strive to make sure you weren't hurt. She hates violence but would fight a thousand battles for any cat in her Clan.

Weak Skin- Sweetpoppy, no matter how loyal and kind, is not one to take insults well. She isn't one to leap and attack those who jeer at her, but instead will cringe and hide. Her self-confidence is very shallow, and will drop dangerously lower if a cat decides to tease her. She does not have hard skin when it comes to insults, and will take things literally when they are really just a joke.

Daydreamer- This young apprentice isn't just thoughtful, but she likes to daydream too. Sometimes her curious thoughts give way to daydreams, and you can tell the difference between thinking and daydreaming by her ears: when she is lost in thought, her left ear droops, but when she is daydreaming her right ear constantly twitches. She is constantly hoping to find the one to make her life complete, and will wander the territory in a daze dreaming about it.

History: [Abandoned] [Growing Up] [To Be A Warrior]

Abandoned- Sweetpoppy never knew the love of a mother or the purr of a father, or even the warm bodies of siblings cuddling next to her at birth. She was born a runt, tiny and helpless, and in the middle of a frosty night in newleaf. Her parents obviously didn't think it was worth keeping the tiny kit around, for they left the little she-kit on the border of IceClan territory, just hours of birth. They abandoned her to die.

However, an IceClan patrol was just out by midnight to check the borders, and stumbled across the kit lying helplessly in the snow. by some miracle, Sweetpoppy was saved. They brought her to camp, warmed her feeble, miniature body, and had a queen take care of her alongside her own kits. They named her Sweetkit, for even though she had been abandoned by her parents, she was one of the sweetest kits in the nursery. Just touching a nose to her would make the little kit purr.

Growing Up- Sweetkit was always going to be small, but she didn't let that bother her. It hurt when other kits made fun of her puny size, but they quickly stopped when they realized how much it injured Sweetkit's feelings. It was too late, though- Sweetkit would always grow up self-conscious of her size, knowing it was the reason her own mother had left her to die.

She grew swiftly in comparison for her size and was named an apprentice at six moons old. Most of the Clan accepted her as a practically Clanborn cat, for she had been raised in IceClan since birth. Sweetpoppy, however, will always be self-conscious about the fact that her blood is not a Clan cat's, and knowing that her mother never wanted her.

As the shy apprentice grew, she began to fit into Clan life- however, Sweetpaw was not a swift learner as her mentor, Pebblefrost, had hoped. Her clumsy paws tripped her up in battle and her short legs kept her from jumping very high. Her low self-confidence ruined even her hunting skills, which were quite fine considering she failed at everything else. For a while, Sweetpaw tried her best, but then began to avoid camp- and with it, her disappointed Clanmates. The bashful apprentice didn't have that many friends, but that would change one fateful day.

While watching the river, a HeatherClan tom stumbled through the ice. Without second thoughts, Sweetpaw threw herself into the frigid water and saved the orange tabby's life. Lying panting and soaked on the bank together, a spark of friendship blazed into existence that would change Sweetpaw's life and attitude. Quailfeather was the tom's name, and he and Sweetpaw began to meet each other secretly. Both had been small kits, made fun of and not very popular, and treasured each other's company. At Sweetpaw's insistence, Quailfeather taught her to climb, fight, and squash her terror of everything.

Sweetpaw began to excel in training at last. Though she was never going to be an excellent fighter, Quailfeather's advice helped her to clear her mind and focus. She finally realized she could be a warrior someday, and would pass her training. It was during her early days with Quailfeather that she met Kovu, a shy, new IceClan warrior. Together they began to hunt and talk, and Sweetpaw swiftly developed a crush, the kind she knew she never could feel for Quailfeather. She cared for them both the same, even if her love for each was much different- one, like an older brother, the one she'd never had, and the other one who made her heart light.

To Be A Warrior- Sweetpoppy earned her warrior name under the new IceClan leader, Nimblestar, after nearly eight moons of training. It had taken her longer than most to get so far, but at last, she was a warrior. She reveled in the new respects and rights of her rank alongside Kovu, who was a dear and close friend- and maybe something more. But Sweetpoppy had yet to recognize her feelings as beginning love...

As leafbare fell into newleaf, Sweetpoppy began to realize how she truly felt about the shy warrior. After moons of a steady friendship, the two fell quietly into a stronger relationship. No one was really surprised. It was clear that Kovu was the closest to the young warrior, and Sweetpoppy felt more love for him than for all the other cats she'd befriended before combined. Now she lives happily and comfortably in her warrior status...always by Kovu's side. She hopes for kits someday, but in her strokes of rare shyness, she is too shy to bring it up around her mate...

IceClan

<sub>Kovu- "My mate is the sweetest, kindest, and gentlest cat you could ever ask for. He's beyond my wildest dreams when it comes to love, and I don't think I could ever love somebody as much as I do him...whenever I'm around him, my heart pounds so hard I'm sure he can hear it. I don't seem to know what to say, yet...sometimes I don't really need to say anything. I know someday he'll be the perfect father...I just don't know how to say so..."

Nimblestar- "His leadership was far too short. I know that every cat is saying he's alive, he'll come back...but I just get this feeling. I feel so terrible for poor Bumblecloud, having all of this shoved onto him, but especially for Nimblestar. He seemed kind and thoughtful, the kind of leader I wish every cat could be...I'll miss him."

Pebblefrost- "My old mentor. Pebblefrost is excellent, and though I know I wasn't an easy apprentice, she was always patient and kind. She's really pretty and quick, and someday I hope to be as good as she is. It gives me a goal to work for...and I was proud to be her apprentice."

Airfall- "Airfall helped me work out a few of my battle moves when I was having trouble one day in the woods. At first I was kind of upset that he'd seen me, and afraid he'd start to make fun of me like the others do, but then he tried to help me out. It was really kind of him, and I hope I can get the chance to know him better."</sub>

StreamClan

_{Rabbitpaw- "I met Rabbitpaw on the border once, after she'd tripped and stumbled over. She seems really nice, and not that much different from me...but that was moons and moons ago. I wonder how she's doing now...she was certainly friendly, for a cat from another Clan. I hope for her sake that StreamClan hasn't suffered too much from the old sickness. May StarClan light her path, wherever she is."}

_{Quailfeather- "I can't...I just can't believe he's really gone...how could this happen? I don't even know how he died, only that one of his Clanmates told me a few Gatherings ago...it's been moons, but I still miss him so terribly. He taught me most of what I know. I'll always respect and care for Pebblefrost, but I fell more like Quailfeather was my mentor....I remember that day I saved him from the river. I always felt like he was lonely. I hope he's feeling better in StarClan..."}

I took the sorrel away from her muzzle- it was driving me crazy XD I don't have enough time to change her coloring, but also, since she's so dark, if you wish to draw her, she's a lighter color. Not so much so that she isn't dark anymore, but just enough so that lineart is easier to see. <3
