Willowtail

[willowtail]

Role player| Willow
_____

Name| Willowtail

Gender| she-cat

Physical Description| Willowtail is a slender she-cat, with rather long fur. Her simple colors include mostly white, with a couple of large ginger splotches spreading across her back and belly. Her light green eyes twinkle when she laughs, and her ears have a characteristic twitch when she is annoyed. She has an unusual but not extremely short tail, and unlike most, enjoys swimming in the stream nearby when the cool water is high enough. Therefore, she has a very sleek pelt, and constantly keeps it clean.

Views| Though Willowtail has ambition, only a slight part of this is angled towards becoming leader herself. Most of it is directed at being a loyal clan cat that has not intention to do anything but obey her leader. It is rare and hard for to disobey any kind of order from a senior cat, though there have been cases she has. Yet whether by accident or purpose, they have never harmed her clan mates and in one or two situations, might even have helped them along. She has also always believed that the clan together will be much stronger rather than each cat for themselves.

Kin| Is this something required? I can make a couple up, but of course, they won't be real characters? Or would you like me to find a couple roleplayers that have characters able to be kin?

History| Most of this will depend on the kin I have... I'll get back to you on that

Picture|

[Gosh]

The kin can be just made up. And... you realize that there is no Clan, right? The Clan broke up when everyone went into the enclosure.

[Cloud]

Also, willows are gray. Although, I'm not sure if they'd even have willows in the desert.

[Ten]

mm... There are trees called desert willows, I think. Not sure if they're gray like other willows, but they're not orange.


"Willowtail is a slender she-cat, with rather long fur."
--
She's living in a desert, so long fur... it doesn't happen.


"Her simple colors include mostly white, with a couple of large ginger splotches spreading across her back and belly."
--
Her back and her belly? So... the white is on her face and legs?


"unlike most, enjoys swimming in the stream nearby when the cool water is high enough."
--
That's not the sort of thing that fits in this section. Also, I'm not sure the water does get that high enough... except for the floods, but nobody enjoys those.


As Gosh says, there is no actual Clan at the moment. It disbanded long ago; some cats ("Clanners") are trying to get it to reform.


"Though Willowtail has ambition, only a slight part of this is angled towards becoming leader herself."
--
So she does want to become leader?


"Most of it is directed at being a loyal clan cat that" <-- who, not that


"has not intention to do anything but obey her leader."
--
Just checking here -- do you mean she has no intention to ever disobey her future leader? Or do you mean that she doesn't plan to do anything but follow orders?


"It is rare and hard for to disobey any kind of order from a senior cat, though there have been cases she has. Yet whether by accident or purpose, they have never harmed her clan mates and in one or two situations, might even have helped them along."
--
If these vague instances you mention here are important, move them to her History and explain what happened.



"She has also always believed that the clan together will be much stronger rather than each cat for themselves."
--
What do you mean?


"Is this something required? I can make a couple up, but of course, they won't be real characters? Or would you like me to find a couple roleplayers that have characters able to be kin?"

You do have to put something in the Kin section, but it doesn't have to be much -- in fact, a lot of times I have to tell scribes that they've included too much information there. What you need in that section depends on a few things. If you want to use the name of a dead family member in her History (for example, Mudface), then in the Kin section you put how Mudface is related to her, like in Shortwhisker's bio. Also, you should put the names of any of her relatives that you plan to role play too, like in Woodstripe's bio. If all her family is dead, you can say that, like in Grimykit's bio. Her kin doesn't have to be all playable characters. It's okay if you just make up some names and then never mention them again, or even kill them all off.

"The kin can be just made up. And... you realize that there is no Clan, right? The Clan broke up when everyone went into the enclosure. "
Yes I do. Willowtail's pro-clan.

"Her back and her belly? So... the white is on her face and legs?"
Well... no... I mean there's only white on her head and legs, and her back and belly have orange splotches

"So she does want to become leader?"
Not necessarily. She wants to be good and help out her 'clan', and if becoming leader is ever the way, then that's what she wants. Currently, no.

"who, not that"
What do you mean with this? Do you mean that there actually isn't a clan?

"Just checking here -- do you mean she has no intention to ever disobey her future leader? Or do you mean that she doesn't plan to do anything but follow orders?"
I mean she has no intention to ever disobey her future leader.

"If these vague instances you mention here are important, move them to her History and explain what happened."
Well, they're not really anything specific... It's just something I wrote to give her more character. Would you like me to go into detail in History?

"What do you mean?"
Really, just that she's pro-clan.

"You do have to put something in the Kin section, but it doesn't have to be much -- in fact, a lot of times I have to tell scribes that they've included too much information there.

Kay, thanks!

[Gosh]

"What do you mean with this? Do you mean that there actually isn't a clan?"

Yeah, there is no Clan right now. There are groups of cats trying to start a Clan, and there are cats very much against starting a Clan, but there hasn't been a Clan since all the cats were shoved into the enclosure.

If you want further clarification, you can look at the 'plot' page here.

[Cloud]

I suggest Sprinkled, Spangled, Splotch, Spotted, or Dappled as a prefix instead. :3

"I mean there's only white on her head and legs,"
--
mmhm.


"and her back and belly have orange splotches"
--
They're not splotches if they wrap around her whole body, though. So she has white markings on her legs and face.


"Currently, no."
--
Okay. Clarify that in her Views, please.


"What do you mean with this?"
--
You used the word "that" when you should have used "who". Sorry, I use shorthand without thinking about explaining it.


"Do you mean that there actually isn't a clan?"
--
Well, that's true too.


"I mean she has no intention to ever disobey her future leader."
--
mm; see, that's what I thought, but the literal interpretation is different. You can change the wording a little to get rid of that issue.


"Well, they're not really anything specific..."
--
I know they're not. You can make them specific, though.


"Would you like me to go into detail in History?"
--
If you want to give her more character.


"Really, just that she's pro-clan."
--
Why is she pro-Clan? That sentence from the bio says she thinks Clans are stronger than a mass of individuals, but what do you mean by "stronger"? That is, in what way are they stronger?


"I suggest Sprinkled, Spangled, Splotch, Spotted, or Dappled as a prefix instead."
--
It doesn't sound like she has many dots, though. Just a few white markings.

[Cloud]

Maybe just Splotch or Dappled, then. Golden-, too, is a possibility as is Tawny or a size prefix.

[willowtail]

"They're not splotches if they wrap around her whole body, though. So she has white markings on her legs and face."
They don't wrap around her whole body XD. I'm sorry if the picture looks like that, I couldn't find anything better.

"I suggest Sprinkled, Spangled, Splotch, Spotted, or Dappled as a prefix instead. :3"
I'm sorry. They're really nice names, but since this is my first and original character that I've used for years, I'd rather not change her personality, looks, or name.

"You used the word "that" when you should have used "who". Sorry, I use shorthand without thinking about explaining it."
Ohhh! Right

"Why is she pro-Clan? That sentence from the bio says she thinks Clans are stronger than a mass of individuals, but what do you mean by "stronger"? That is, in what way are they stronger?"
Ok, I'll edit all that into her views, when I have time.
