Puddle 

of shifting skies

Tribe of Floating Stones

a lanky and slim gray tom

Long, tall and lanky, Puddle strides about the moors with longs and winding strides. His silhouette is imposing from some angles, but in reality, he's slim and fit. He stands about 1 foot and 7 inches from the tips of his head to the pads of his paws. His legs are quite long, and stand him up like stilts on top of his median paws and bony knees. They shoot into into angled shoulders. He has an extremely long neck that extends down into a square chest and a slender back, slimming into his haunches. His tail is of median length, and has a rounded tip.

His fur is short, and sticks close to his body as it protects him from the elements as he moves. Like his true father, he is gray mixed with a tiny bit of silver sheen. His whole pelt is this way, the only change in color being subtle changes the intensity of the brightness in some areas, like his ears and his underside. His head is triangular, with a wide base at the neck that slims down to a point at his mouth. he has several short an black whiskers protruding from his small cheeks, and above them, his cheekbones sink into his head until just under his eyes. His nose is a solid black, with a brown ring, and eyes are amber with a small diamond slits. He has large triangular ears that cast a shadow over his face, with flat tops

Puddle is an empathetic character who is highly sensitive to the emotions and situations of those around him. He's not one to mirror them directly, however he forms deep connections with his tribe mates and gains a strong understanding of their individual quirks, predilections, and possible reasoning for their mode of being. Where someone is sad, interacting with them can make him moody, while their joy can energize him. Puddle's empathy breeds compassion, and it drives him to help others in distress, often finding fulfillment in offering support. However, this can occasionally give way to a sense of self-superiority, making him seem like he believes he is the only one capable of healing another's emotional wounds. This attitude may manifest in his demeanor and interactions, potentially alienating some individuals during casual encounters rather than in deep, personal connections. Such day to day interactions are hard for him to fit into his model of interaction, and inappropriate (if not hilarious) things could emanate from his slightly pompous mouth. In darker moments however, he can be blind to another's true experience, imposing his own assessment even at the expense of their own.

Puddle is also known for being quite fussy about most things. Strong in his preferences for that of the erudite, he values order, politeness, and decorum. Dirtyness and the athletic pursuits of the tribe do not interest him, and he prefers pursuits of the clean mind like talk and grooming. Puddle's perception is heavily filtered, causing him to be particular about small details such as his food presentation, where he steps, and his cleanliness. His appreciation for the finer things in life and his high-mindedness can sometimes come across as haughtiness, which can be a source of irritation for others who may not share his refined sensibilities, especially among others who lived during times of crisis.

Puddle was thrust into the world at large during one of it's most tumultuous periods. In the wake of the flood, he is attempting to navigate the treacherous waters and the even more treacherous secrets of his legacy. However uncertain, the future awaits him.
