Terrapinpaw

Come save me from walking off a windowsill
or I'll sleep in the rain.

she-cat

Don't you remember when I was a bird
and you were a map?

6 moons

Now he drags down miles in America
briefcase in hand.

SerenityClan

The stove is creeping up his spine again,
can't get enough trash.

He took the days for pageant

Look at her waddle around camp! I bet she can't catch one piece of prey with all that extra baggage! Oh my! I can't believe she can move that fast! Haha! It looks like she ate the whole entire pile!

These are the normal rounds of hellos to Terrapinpaw before she leaves for her morning hunt. Her brothers always take part in these taunting but Terrapinpaw has grown to ignore them completely or say something back so incredibly stupid or witty that they can't respond back. Yes. You've guessed it, Terrapinpaw is a little on the overweight side. She was born last of her litter and it seemed she got all the weight. She has small legs and large paw so that she always look extremely clumsy when she waddles around camp. Her neck is thick and short and her head is large and round with two small pointy ears. Only one ear can hear you though. And thats another reason why she's taunted. She's deaf in one ear.

As you can see, Terrapinpaw really doesn't care about her brothers taunting but her pelt is something that they can't make fun of. Its more on the short side and isn't smooth or silky like Eclipsepaw. It's spiky and rough but usually everyone makes room for her when she comes in to their area so they can't actually feel the texture of her pelt, not that Terrapinpaw would like anyone to touch her. Her pelt color is what catches everyone's eye. Her undercoat is a plain light creamy tan color. It flows fluently across her body only interrupted by black stripes that cross most of her back except for two spots that there are patches of a beautiful golden orange. One large patch on her back and the other one is on the top of her head. They are so out of the ordinary and stick out so much against her normal tabby pelt that noticing her large pale yellow eyes would be a delayed reaction and they stick out too.

Became as mad as rabbits

First impressions are not Terrapinpaw's strongest point but its not her fault at all. Its just hard for cats to like her because she is so different. She's all around a really nice cat and really easy to get along with. If you want someone to tell your deepest thoughts to, though, she'll probably forget. Thats a good thing and a bad thing. Thats the thing about Terrapinpaw. There are good things about her and then there are bad things about her. For instance, she is a little overweight and she can't hear and her brothers make fun of her. What does she do? She usually ignores them or sometimes even agrees with them. When she plays along and says "Yes I am fat. Thank you very much." then they really can't respond to that with another stupid immature comment.

The funny thing is, she doesn't even know that she's doing it. Terrapinpaw doesn't even know that she's defending herself and smarting her brothers out of the whole situation. She's totally clueless about how smart and clever she is around because then when they are done making fun of her, she acts like nothing ever happened and she goes back to playing their games or something like that. She doesn't have a close relationship with her brothers as you can see, but she is pretty close to her sister, Eclipsepaw. Eclipsepaw is extremely encouraging to Terrapinpaw. She always says that she should just leave her brothers alone or ignore them. Not only does she help her with that but she encourages Terrapinpaw to do her best in everything. From hunting to fighting, Terrapinpaw isn't the best but she never gives up. She is devoted to her goals no matter what stands in her way.

I bet you if every single cat in the whole entire clan started making fun of her, Terrapinpaw wouldn't care. She would just watch them for a second, look at them funny before shrugging it off. She'd continue stalking a bug or daydreaming about fighting and winning against the leader of rogues. She's a real dreamer and she really doesn't care about what people think of her. She was born chubby and deaf, so there's nothing she can do about it. No laughing or taunting can ever fix that and Terrapinpaw is way past realizing that.

With bushels of bad habits

Taintedlily wasn't born in SerenityClan like Hartflight was. She was a rogue and a deadly powerful one at that. She was an outcast though, to her peers. She wanted peace and freedom. Taintedlily ended up allied with Xander, a powerful rogue leader who had the same desires that Taintedlily did. On the day of their assault through rogue territory to claim all the lands, they ran into a stronger rogue leader named Dragon. Taintedlily had slain so many rogues that Xander's group made it out. After the attack, the group decided to stay hidden for safety reasons.

One day, Xander ordered Taintedlily to kidnap Hartflight. He went with her and didn't fight back. He had seemed to be in good terms with the rogues and when even his Clan caught them, he came with Taintedlily anyway. Everyone, except for Xander, began to like Hartflight, especially Taintedlily and eventually developing a deep relationship that caused Taintedlily to lose sight of the cause she had been fighting for. When Xander realized that Hartflight’s purpose as a hostage had been spent, he ordered Taintedlily to kill him, but she refused. Xander was extremely angry with her and they got into a fight. It was then during that fight that Taintedlily realized she was pregnant with Hartflight's kits. Xander attacked Hartflight then, wounded him badly. He had been in love with Taintedlily as well.

Taintedlily then returned him SerenityClan, where he died at her side after the kits were born. It was a large litter- Elkpaw, Jackalpaw, Iguanapaw, Bearpaw, Eclipsepaw, and Terrapinpaw. Taintedlily gave her kits over to a queen that had lost her kittens from a hawk. The queen's name was Goosewing and she had a mate called Hawkteller. The two raised the kittens like they were their own but Taintedlily was never seem again.

Terrapinkit never had a great relationship with her foster mother. Goosewing was nice, but she spoke too quietly and she didn't like that Terrapinkit was so overweight. She never got to know her foster father that well because he died in a battle when she was only three moons old. She never had a good relationship with her brothers at all either because they are usually not very kind to her. Terrapinkit was very close with her sister Eclipsekit and they are still pretty close as apprentices. She's always open for new friends, if they are willing to put up with her and support her. She's always ready for a challenge.

Who could ask for anymore?

taintedlily//mother
hartflight//father
hawkteller//foster father
goosewing//foster mother
elkpaw//brother
jackalpaw//brother
iguanapaw//brother
bearpaw//brother
eclipsepaw//sister

Yeah who could have more.
