Gorsepaw

white molly with mackerel torbie markings and green eyes

Gorsepaw was named after her late father, and despite the lack of resemblance between the pair who will never get to meet each other, the name is still quite fitting. Her pelt is mostly comprised of short, white fur that matches that of her siblings. Splotches of orange, black, and brown float all over her pelt like the petals of the flower she was named after. Gorsepaw’s markings are the only thing that make her stand out however. She will grow into an average stature, shorter than most of her gargantuan clan-mates. She has round features, an average sized tail, and green eyes.

Sensitive: The grief in her mother’s eyes, sagging tails, drooped ears. Born into a clan rife with conflict, Gorsepaw can’t help but be drawn to the emotions of those around her. These feelings quickly become her own and she experiences them with the entirety of her being. Of course as a kit, the young molly won’t at all be aware of her innate understanding of others feelings. Instead, Gorsepaw is much like a sponge, subconsciously soaking in others emotions and reflecting them back out. She has potential to be a very nurturing and empathetic feline, but Gorseapw won’t be able to act on her gift until she learns to set emotional boundaries with herself and others.

Emotional: Due to her sensitivity, Gorsekpaw comes off as a turbulent cat. She’s well-meaning, and wants to see others happy, but is immensely impacted by the feelings of those around her. Her mother’s grief will become her own, just as she’ll subconsciously take on a passionate clan-mate's anger as well. A cat is yelling at her for misbehaving? Gorsepaww will feel her own heart rate increase, her blood boil, and won’t know how else to react aside from in a similar manner until she comes to understand that these feelings aren’t her own.

Gregarious: Gorsepaw isn’t only drawn to the emotions of other cats, but cat’s in general. It takes little effort for her to relate to her clan-mates and is quick to make friends when her own emotional struggles don’t get the better of her. She much prefers a group than the company of one cat and is oftentimes seen in a crowd. She’s caring, compassionate, and loves checking in on those she loves. Its her goal to see her comrades happy, as she grows to better understand herself and her clan, she’ll do anything to keep a smile on the face of those around her.

Sanctimonious: As Gorsepaw grows to understand the world and her place in it(she's the deputy's daughter afterall), she’ll quickly develop an intolerance to those who’s morals she deems as inferior. She wants to see others happy, so she can’t stand any cat who messes with the wellbeing of someone she cares about. Gorsepaw won’t hesitate to fight off bullies and makes it known that she will fight. It goes without saying that Gorsepaw's hate for the evil LichenClan is immeasurable, and that hate will shape her as she grows.
