think it's time to put myself away
seek out a little silence
close the door and sit a while
and walk a little
as I put my words away
the flow slows
see this penny in a stream
picking it up is easy
follow the shape of it
jump in
swallow it whole
jump in
even though I know my way around
possibly there's something new I've found
holding on for finding solid ground
someday soon
I'm gonna turn myself into grass
and I'll grow
take this space above my head
and live in it a little
wear my feather headdress
like an Indian cheif
gonna stretch out both my arms
I'm gonna test the temperature
follow the taste of it
jump in
swallow it whole
jump in
even though I know my way around
possibly there's something new I've found

Periwinklekit is the perfect model for a sweet, innocent kit. Her features make her look much younger than she actually is and she looks the most childish out of all her siblings, sometimes even seeming to be a few moons younger than Mayakit or Bramblekit, for instance. Here's why.
First off, she's small. Not small as in skinny but she just has a small build, with almost stubby little kitten legs that her family hopes she'll grow out of (and, more importantly, grow out of the clumsy walk that they cause her to have). She's kind of cubby but like a lot of things about herself Periwinklekit doesn't really notice that her paws are a bit plump or whatnot. Her tail is a small little one that sticks straight up in the air like a little brown and white flag.
Secondly, her eyes are wonderfully innocent. Both are a baby blue color, matching her name, and are wide and always curious. Confusion seems to flash across them often, and whenever she thinks too hard they tend to go cross-eyed. They seem almost too big, too wide, for her slender face.
Periwinklekit looks a lot like her mother when it comes to their pelts. Both are a creamy beige color with uneven tawny brown markings spotting their faces and legs and tails. The colors blend like coffee and cream - very well. The fur itself is one-hundred percent kitten fur, soft and long and whispy.

Periwinkekit isn't the sharpest tool in the shed. She's a few froot loops short of a full bowl; a few fries short of a Happy Meal. You get what I mean: she's not all that bright. In fact, some (rather mean) individuals might say she's downright dumb. She's not, really, but she does have one heck of a time understanding even simple concepts. She often jumps to impossible conclusions or has trouble keeping up with what her siblings are saying. It takes patiance to deal with this kit, that's for sure, but in the end she's a good friend to have around.
This little fuzzball stutters occasionally, as her brain works slower than her mouth does. She often leaps before she even realizes that she should be looking. She's an eager soul but is also sweet and caring - she loves her family (she has a particular attatchment to her mother) and always wants to know every little detail about where they are and what their doing.
Often, if Periwinklekit doesn't understand something - and by now you should know that that happens a lot - she makes up something to explain why that thing is like that. Of course, she only makes up something if she realizes that it shouldn't make sense. For example, she's noticed that all the other kits in the nurseries have mummies and daddies, why doesn't she? Well, her explaination is that she just doesn't have one. They have daddies, but she didn't need one. She had just her mummy, and poof, out came her and her siblings. Of course this makes no sense but it's crystal-clear to Periwinklekit.
Periwinklekit isn't one to notice small details. Despite being curious to no end she can't remember things for very long and is often the one asking "What's this? Who's that? Umm, what's this, again? What's that thing called? Why?" She also plays the role of that annoying friend who always tells you the same story seventy times before you finally tell her that you've heard that story before... seventy. different. times.

Tawnykit and Dewkit were the only two kits born in the litter of Cormorantstar and Lemonzest. Now, any kit who's payed attention to the queen's nursery stories will know that Cormorantstar was the great leader of CloudClan many, many moons ago. But, like many other great leaders like Wrenstar and Jasminestar, he simply went missing. Perhaps he was the first to actually come back.
You see, Tawnypaw and Dewpaw grew up very close. The sisters cared for eachother deeply and Dewpaw was Tawnypaw's best friend for a long time. Then they became warriors - Tawnysky and Dewstep - and two things happened.
First, Dewstep fell in love with another CloudClan tom named Oleadergaze. He was kind and strong and poetic and soon she was bearing his kits.
Second, Cormorantstar - now Cormorantfeather, to signify that the position he had left behind as leader would never be his again - came back. Tawnysky was angered and confused by all of this, and soon turned to someone outside the Clan to be her friend: a MoonClan tom called Eaglecry.
They met by chance while Tawnysky was out in the CloudClan territory. After that, they just couldn't help themselves - they kept meeting eachother until one day they confessed their love. Tawnysky got pregnant with his kits and they realized that the kits would have to be with one or the other.
Periwinklekit and her siblings were born during their latest meeting. Tawnysky and Eaglecry had been quarreling over what would happen to the kits when Tawnysky suddenly went into labour. Eaglecry turned and helped her, but the CloudClan deputy Fadedmemory was the real savior for the kits as he Tawnysky kitting and came to help.
First came Bearkit and Bramblekit, feternal twins. Then was Crisiskit, a silver male who looked a lot like Cormorantfeather, then our Periwinklekit, then a she-kit named Mayakit, Periwinklekit's polar opposite. The kits were brought back to CloudClan with the promise that they'd meet their father someday, then would be free to choose between CloudClan and MoonClan.
