Viperkit

Redwoodclan

long-haired smoky black she-cat with green eyes

Taking her large frame from her father, Viperkit is a stocky, well-built molly, destined to become one of RedwoodClan’s more sizable warriors. Broad of shoulder and long of leg, she carries many of the characteristics of her clan. Her coat is long and thick, much like Mousesong’s, but her pelt is dark in color, borrowing from Ravenfeather’s genetics. Though she is still young, the ends of her fur are tipped with a smoky elder grey, as if painted in a gentle gradient with a skilled brush. Her eyes are a commanding green, light in color and wide with curiosity, but also glinting with pride. They sit confidently in her wide, round face. Between them rests an adorable little button nose. On any other cat, these attributes would seem welcoming and loving, but the tenderness of her features should not be taken at face value. The only warning of her sharp personality comes from her ears, which are pointed and narrow, rearing skyward like inverted serpent fangs. Tufts of haphazard fur jut out from within them, as if in defiance of her otherwise outwardly sweet appearance.

Don’t this molly’s soft pelt fool you! Viperkit is a force of will, confident in her every word and every step. Her dream is to one day become leader of her Clan, using her vocal charm and physical strength to rise to power. Big aspirations for such a tiny kit! Unafraid to take charge, this little molly has a solid rallying call and leads the nursery with immense self-assurance. She has a unique sense of justice and honors the warrior code, despite her young age, and won’t hesitate to point out rulebreakers. Blunt and sassy, she’ll tell it like it is, even if it hurts. Priding herself on her truthfulness, she cannot tell a lie under any circumstance, even a white one, for fear of maring her perfect goodie-two-shoes image.

For all her bravado, though, she is known to be quite selfish, and is not above risking the lives of others for the opportunity to be recognized as a heroine. While her tongue can be quite harsh, she is also protective -- until her friends come between her and her moral compass. An embodiment of the Lawful Good alignment, she has a hard time choosing between her relationships and doing what she thinks is right. It is not uncommon for some of her interactions to end in tears -- from the other party, of course. Viperkit thinks she is too big of a girl to cry in front of others.

Mousesong and Ravenfeather grew up together as friends during their apprenticeship, but upon becoming warriors, their relationship blossomed into something more. Viperkit, along with her brother, Lionkit, and her sister, Waspkit, comprised the pair’s first litter together. Even straight from the womb, Viperkit made her appearance and dominance known, calling out to the world and hissing like a baby adder. Despite her early fierceness, she was not solely named for her personality, and earned her prefix from her grandfather, Vipergaze, who was killed during a LichenClan raid on the RedwoodClan camp. Though still young, she has big ambitions for her future as a warrior -- or some even greater role.
