Description:

Body Structure

The grayish silver she-cat is smaller in appearance than most cats, even when compared to her fellow clan mates. Her structure is long and lithe and she possesses a rounded wedge-shaped head, a graceful curved neck and a slim body that tapers off to a long tail, held erect in the air. She has a good posture and holds herself with the air of one who is sure of their self and does not wish for it to be question. Her pride can be noted simply in her stance.

Coat

Hollybite's fur is a soft shimmering gray-silver that catches the moonlight and reflects it very well.Her fur is short and smoothly follows the lines of her body, always well in place thanks to daily groomings.

Face

Hollybite's eyes are a sharp piercing blue that darkens to navy when she is furious or throwing a fit and can appear turquoise at times, namely when she is excited, pleasantly surprised, or in the best of moods. Her nose is small and pink, dainty and feminine and well suited to her self.

Hollybite is a master of controlling her emotions, of acting a certain way to achieve what she wants and she uses this skill to her advantage. A quick, flashy smile is a well-used and important tool and Hollybite uses it and other expressions to convey emotions so widely that her face seems open and innocent with every surprised air.

Personality:

Unappreciative

Hollybite is hardly the type of she-cat to feel grateful for everything she receives or even use the words 'thank you' often. She was her mother's only kit and therefore spoiled and praised her whole life and acts as if any good turn done for her is something that she deserved and not something that she should be thankful for.

This side of her angers some and has been a source of trouble in the past. Of course, Hollybite knows how to act and maneuver her way around others with a simpering smile and a gushed 'thank you', surprising everyone into thinking that she is truly changing.

Vain

Everyone should worship the ground she walks upon. That is the basic thought of her own existence. With her charming looks and obvious value, Hollybite "deserves" and expects nothing less than the best. From everyone. She takes pride in her appearance and can often appear haughty, though truthfully it is not an appearance but her self shining through. As pretty as she is on the outside, it would be a lie to pretend she is just as beautiful on the inside.

Skilled

As an apprentice, Hollybite was always determined to be the best - to shine with the mentors. She pushed herself hard to perfection and was the first of her bunch to be promoted to the status of a warrior, something she still lords over them when it pleases her.

Hollybite fights hard for her clan but it is more for the sake of proving herself, earning respect and a reputation, and showing off her skills than due to any clan loyalty she may or may not feel.

Outgoing

She is an extremely lively and outgoing cat and Hollybite enjoys being playful and teasing and having a good time. She is flirty with the males in her clan but more for the sake of fun and wanting admiration then for any desire to have a family of her own.

Leadership

Leadership is something that Hollybite covets. That's not to say that she spends every second trying to ensure that she can become the next deputy, and then the leader of the clan. Her mind is not as specific as that. Rather, she enjoys taking charge of situations and knowing that she is the one that others have to listen to.

With that comes a love of being the center of attention, of having all eyes on her. It gives her energy and adrenaline to do her best and, as always, impress.

Socially Intelligent

When it comes to knowing what others want to see, Hollybite is a master of manipulating and deceiving. She keeps many parts of her nature hidden, playing on the facade that she is merely a hardworking, skilled young she-cat with good promise and potential. She does a good job hiding the uglier side of her, and when it does come out she is apt at finding the perfect excuse so the matter can vanish from the Clan's mind as quickly as it appeared.

She has good survival skills which easily translate into enabling her to survive in the Clan environment she was thrust into. Hollybite is intelligent when it comes to keeping her reputation and status upheld and not letting those below her in skill ever rise above her. Though she wouldn't mind rising above some of the older and more experienced cats herself as she is also highly ambitious.

History:

Birth

Hollybite was born in a litter of five kits but in the middle of winter, when harsh temperatures and a lack of food threatened the clan. She was the only kit to survive past three days, labeled early in life as a survivor.

Her mother poured all her energy into making sure that the last surviving kit of her first litter would make it through her kithood. She gave all of her love to little Hollykit, praising her daughter for how beautiful and talented she was and what a great warrior and huntress she would make when she was older. This was the foundation for Hollybite to have started thinking so highly of herself.

Training

Hollypaw was an eager apprentice, always ready to begin the day's lesson and impress her mentor. It was around this time that she began to work hard to ensure that she would be noticed for she so desperately wanted to stand out from the crowd of apprentices - to be more than the others. She trained hard and long and was quickly recognized for having admirable skills at such a young age. Such praise drove Hollypaw to work harder for it was that exactly that she relished and craved.

Hollypaw fought in a border skirmish that occured unexpectedly when she was out on patrol. She was nearing the age when apprentices become warriors at the time and after fighting hard against the other clan and helping her clan mates regain the border, she was promoted to the status of warrior - the first of her crowd of apprentices to earn the status.

Warrior

Hollybite has not been a warrior for long but she still works hard when she is doing something for the clan, intent on receiving admiration at a whole new level now. She cares little for clan loyalty and bonding together - the cats she lives with are just that: the cats she lives with, and she feels no strong clan bonds towards any of them, though she does have good friendships with some and can be found playing away and laughing in the woods with them.

Role Playing Example:

((I gave an example of Hollybite in Minnowpaw's bio so it only seems fit to use an example of Minnowpaw in Hollybite's bio - I'll just use a post I made yesterday))

I used to rule the world
Seas would rise when I gave the word

The tiny she-cat giggled quietly to herself as she ran up the bluff. Marigold, marigold, she reminded herself.They were running low on the pretty herb and she'd been sent out to fetch some to replenish their stocks. She loved being out like this, just herself and the open sky. She wasn't exactly introverted but she knew how to appreciate time alone. Lowering her head, Minnowpaw sniffed at the earth in front of her feet and then at the fresh air, hoping to be able to trace the smell of marigold. She was lucky. Following the scent up the bluff, she came to a small patch and bent down, placing her jaw gently around the roots of the plants and extracting it from the earth. She was supposed to bring back two so she repeated the action on the plant beside it and then rose, unable to mask her excitement.

She'd done it, she'd accomplished her task and now she could head back to camp. Or... she could just wander on a bit? Minnowpaw pursed her lips. She wasn't the type to deliberately break rules but nor was she such a goody-goody that she was afraid of doing it. Besides, she'd be only a few minutes. It was such a pretty day... Surely the clan could spare her for a few minutes. She'd catch some prey on the way back to make up for it and appease her conscience. Feeling less guilty now, she snatched up the marigold and ran ahead. It felt so wonderful and free to just run like this was nothing around her but wide open space and a clear blue sky.

The marigold was place gently on the earth as Minnowpaw realized how close she was to the edge of the towering cliff. The anxious, guilty feelings returned. Apprentices weren't really supposed to be up here alone. It was dangerous. But she was being careful. Besides, it wasn't so much of a rule as a general precaution. She could deal with that. If anyone found her here... I'll be fine, she assured herself with a quick roll of the eyes for being so worrisome. She'd flash a smile and apologize and say she'd wanted to enjoy the view. It was pretty up here after all and as long as she was pleasant about it and acted like it wasn't a big deal, it wouldn't be. So she allowed herself to relax, her fur laying flat against back as she settled into a seated position, eyes scanning the landscape below her with an undisguised awe.

Now in the morning I sweep alone
Sweep the streets I used to own

((Kinda short, sorry))

Hollybite was a character that I made on another site but never role-played but I really like her so I'm excited to try her out here.
