Appearance (Detailed)
Mistletoepaw is a marbled gray tabby she-cat with a white undercoat.
Her Norwegian Forest Cat heritage would imply she'd be heftier, but she ended up being runty and twiggy due to other factors.
Her fur is medium-long in length that has more puffy fluff than long silk.
She has toetufts, allowing her to navigate over snow just a little easier.
The gray of her tabby pattern doesn't quite reach the tip of her tail, nor does it overtake her neck. Both of those are white.
She has a gray "cap" on her head with darker marks trailing from her forehead down to her cheeks.
Her eyes are sharp in shape and have an acidic green color.
Currently, most of her fellow six-moon-olds reach the height of her chin; she's an inch or so taller. However, she'll grow to be as tall as most other she-cats.
Her build is stick-thin and looks pretty awkward. She has angles that are there are sharp and she is gangly.
Her skin is a reddish-pink color.
Extras:
Voice: Undecided
Scars: N/A
Accessories: N/A
Phobia: Hydrophobia
Permanent Ailments: N/A
Genetic Notes (Optional Use):
➤ Mistletoepaw is a bicolor with white fur on half of her body, but the gene is heterozygous since Dreamcloud has no white spotting.
➤ She has a heterozygous gene for a marbled tabby pattern, since Rushingflame is a non-tabby and Dreamcloud is a tabby.
➤ Mistletoepaw has heterozygous green eyes, which means if her kits follow real-life genetics, can have blue eyes if the mate has blue eyes.
> Colors like yellow, gold, or copper, however, will overpower the green gene.
➤ Her hair is long, making it recessive. Her offspring in real life would more likely be short-haired.
Health: Fair
Physical: 100%
➤ Mistletoepaw has no sign of illness or injury currently.
Mental: 85%
➤ Mistletoepaw is still heavily shaken by the flash flood that hit SeaClan.
➤ From this, she has a bad case of hydrophobia.
➤ She is also now quite anxious when her Dad heads out on his own, afraid that he might not come back.
Belief in Higher Powers: StarClan, 100%

Summary:
POSITIVE TRAITS: Gregarious, Ardent, Plucky, Demonstrative
Mistletoepaw is a social creature who thrives on attention and interaction with others.
She is enthusiastic and determined and feels her emotions strongly.
Mistletoepaw is daring and often challenges the odds.
She usually acts even more than she speaks and shows how she feels with more than words.NEUTRAL TRAITS: Girly, Mischievous, Sassy
She's childish and feminine who hates getting her paws in the muck.
Mistletoepaw has a penchant for trouble and enjoys passing her time with pranks for mainly her own amusement.
She's peppy, but a little too eager to dish out back-talk.NEGATIVE TRAITS: Rowdy, Caustic, Gossiper, Insecure
Mistletoepaw is rough and wild; she's hard to put down for a nap, and hard to get her to always play nicely.
Her zingers tend to hit cats where it hurts, lacking a good filter due to her age, but also her base personality.
Spreading rumors and talking behind the backs of others are two habitual passtimes of hers.
Mistletoepaw is really self-conscious and unsure about herself and refuses to let people know her flaws without a fight.LOST TRAITS: Touchy
Touchy: when her kithood ended, this transitioned into being insecure.
Learning Type: Kinesthetic
"Kinesthetic learning, or tactile learning, is a learning style in which learning takes place by the students carrying out physical activities, rather than listening to a lecture or watching demonstrations."
Talents
Float Like a Butterfly: Mistletoepaw has unusually good control of her body. Keeping balance and following physical instructions come easily to her. She's quite light on her feet and graceful, even now in a more awkward period of her life.
Habits
Makeup Is My Warpaint: Mistletoepaw spends a good amount of time in the morning grooming her fur until it's spotless and laying perfectly on her body. When left idle, she's usually fiddling with some cowlick or another.
Early Bird: Mistletoepaw has always been an early sleeper and early riser.
Out of My Way, Geekbait!: Mistletoepaw's main mode is being aggressive and unapologetic. Her main defense mechanism is lashing out and trying to hurt others with words.
Picky Eater: Unlike most of her siblings, Mistletoepaw is really particular about the food she eats. She tends to eat food slowly and in bits at a time. There's a lot of prey she doesn't like, and though she'll eat it, she doesn't have the same appreciation for it as her sister and brothers.
Rumor Has It: Mistletoepaw likes making up rumors about others. A little too much.
Blood is Thicker: Despite her spiky exterior, family comes first for Mistletoepaw. She doesn't make up anything about them, and will cut you if she catches you saying anything bad.
Daddy's Girl: Mistletoepaw loves her fathers more than anything and does what she can to make them proud. At the same time, however, she does try her paw at schmoozing them into getting what she wants every now and then.

.: RELATIONSHIPS :.
FamilyRushingflame | Papa | sleepypurr
"My Papa is a really sweet and strong tom. I'm glad that he was in the camp to raise us."
Mistletoepaw knows her papa more than she knows her dad, and sees him as her main caregiver and parental figure. She loves him unconditionally, and feels very comfortable around him. She has a better understanding of why he's an elder, but even she knows not to pry. She respects him more than she does the vast majority of cats, but that doesn't mean that she tries her way at manipulating him a way a daughter does. She really does love him, though. She wouldn't know what to do with herself if he died.
Nicknames: Papa, Pop, Papa Rushing
Pillowfeather | Dad | DrowsyInsomnia
"Dad's living proof that bloodlines don't matter, and that any cat can be a warrior. It's inspiring, really... I just hope I live up to him."
It's hard to name a cat Mistletoepaw admires more than her Dad. She learned of his upbringing growing up, and instead of pitying him, she grew to instead see him as an impossibly strong tom. As an apprentice, Mistletoepaw fears that she'll let him down with how much she's scared of the water. She's very close to him, but keeps her distance for now. She can't hear that he's disappointed with her, even if that obviously isn't true. She secretly takes a lot of pride in the fact she looks so much like him. It would be a shame if that were wasted on the "dud" kit of the litter.
Nicknames: Dad, Daddy, Pillowdad
Partridgepaw | Littermate | jackdawjay
"Partidgepaw's a bit starry-eyed and emotional, but he and I have a lot in common. Even some bad stuff. I think that's part of what makes him my favorite brother."
Mistletoepaw isn't like peas in a pod with Partridgepaw (that role lies with Asterpaw), but she certainly doesn't mind having her brother around that much. She likes that they have similar indulgent traits like disregarding rules or being mischievous. He's grown closer to their Dad, but Mistletoepaw doesn't see this as a bad thing at all. Though their types of pranks have diverged since they've aged (Mistletoepaw favors more mean-spirited tricks), they have still gotten along. It helps that she's noticed that he has a vague aversion to water. It makes her feel less insecure about herself in her own aspect of that.
Prancepaw | Littermate | MapleSyruq
"He's a big ol' softy, but I had him wrong before. He's actually a lot of fun if you get to know him."
Mistletoepaw now sees her brother as an equal instead of a hopeless crybaby case. They aren't the closest of all, but they get along just fine. She doesn't mind playing, eating, or training with him, but would honestly choose to do those things first with Asterpaw or Partridgepaw. Still, she does like knowing more about him. And admittedly, she does keep an eye out for him.
Asterpaw | Littermate | DrowsyInsomnia
"Asterpaw's great. She's the only one of my littermates who I think actually 'gets' me, y'know? Even though we're so different."
Asterpaw has a personality quite contrary to Mistletoepaw's own, but the two have their own way of balancing each other out. They both like to socialize, but Asterpaw's laziness tends to wear on Mistletoepaw. The same goes for Asterpaw and Mistletoepaw's lying streak. Even so, the two don't claim to be superior to the other, and understand that they're different. They have a healthy and happy relationship.
Firpaw | Littermate | sleepypurr
"The 'fir' in his name stands for 'furball'."
Mistletoepaw does not have a friendly relationship with her brother. Just because she loves him does not mean that she actually likes him. She tries to avoid him when she can, but when they interact, it rarely stays civil for long.
Dreamcloud | Honorary Aunt (Biological Mother) | MapleSyruq
"My aunt Dreamcloud is really good at giving advice. I'm glad I have her around."
Dreamcloud is her aunt, and as such, is the cat Mistletoepaw goes to whenever she has a more sensitive problem in her life. She loves her aunt almost as much as her fathers, and often shares meals with her and fills her in on her training. Mistletoepaw wants her to be proud of her, especially since Dreamcloud is her primary female role model.
Nicknames: Auntie Dream
Friends--
Acquaintences--
AuthoritiesEelstar | Leader | MapleSyruq
"I feel like he can get carried away with things. Too often. Still, he's my leader. My respect for him is a Warrior Code given..."
Since the flash flood happened, Mistletoepaw hasn't been a huge fan of Eelstar. She won't straight-up ignore him. In fact, she still follows his orders, but she has lost a little faith in him for letting the camp fall into the situation it did. According to her, the way everyone was caught flat-footed was his fault. Though it may not be true, it'll take a bit before she can regain confidence in him.
Hollowshell | Deputy | Song-Birdie
"Growing up, I wanted to be her apprentice someday. While I'm still happy with Pumpkinpatch, I can't lie. She really works hard being the deputy. Of course she'd be a great mentor."
Mistletoepaw grew up really taken with Hollowshell, even if she never had any meaningful interactions with her. Of the three higher-ranks of SeaClan, Hollowshell is Mistletoepaw's favorite. She trusts her thanks to her intensity and caring nature. Mistletoepaw isn't as nice as she is, but she wouldn't mind growing into a cat like her.
Shallowreef | Medicine Cat | MapleSyruq
"Honestly, his stubby legs used to really freak me out as a kit. But he pays close attention to his work and he does it fast. I'm glad he's SeaClan's medicine cat."
She hasn't had much interaction with Shallowreef, but sees him as an especially competent medicine cat. She's more at ease having a more calm cat in charge of the herbs instead of someone more eccentric. She appreciates his professionalism.
Pumpkinpatch | Mentor | MapleSyruq
"She was the cat who pulled me out of the flood... I won't ever forget that. She saved my life. The least I could do is be a good apprentice."
Mistletoepaw is very excited to have Pumpkinpatch as her mentor, even if she's a bit nervous about it. Pumpkinpatch is her hero, and therefore, she'll be a lot more maleable as an apprentice with her than she would anyone else. Eelstar probably knew that, so she was actually made her apprentice the same day Nightpaw, Pumpkinpatch's old apprentice, was made a warrior. Mistletoepaw worries about impressing her and is a bit of a tryhard in her work. As Pumpkinpatch gets lowered from Mistletoepaw's pedestal into someone as a normal warrior, her nerves will settle. But for now, she's really fired up about it.
Enemies--
.: POP CULTURE COMPARISONS :.
Dungeons and Dragons Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
"A chaotic neutral character follows her whims. She is an individualist first and last. She values her own liberty but doesn't strive to protect others' freedom. She avoids authority, resents restrictions, and challenges traditions. A chaotic neutral character does not intentionally disrupt organizations as part of a campaign of anarchy. To do so, he would have to be motivated either by good (and a desire to liberate others) or evil (and a desire to make those different from herself suffer). A chaotic neutral character may be unpredictable, but her behavior is not totally random. She is not as likely to jump off a bridge as to cross it."
Hogwarts House: Slytherin
"Slytherin produces more than its share of Dark wizards, but also turns out leaders who are proud, ambitious and cunning."
Fruit: Braeburn Apple
Braeburns are a cross between a sweet and sour apple, making it a tart apple best left to bake with. They are used mainly in deserts, since they are best served after being seasoned and baked. Aside from cooking, these apples are actually quite fragile and are susceptible to bruising, disease, and fungi.

Sample - Copied for a Previous RP from Future-of-the-Clans (May 2017):
Daffodilpaw paid her brother a wispy smile for his antics, rambling about Featherpaw's mentor and hunting and how he could beat up any cat who would dare to trespass on SkyClan's land. Even when Thistlepaw was being his rowdy self, the quieter, calmer Daffodilpaw always found at least some comfort in the chaos. His antics had been one of the few things that stayed the same when they had first moved into SkyClan, and though it had all been for the better, Daffodilpaw couldn't help but yearn for the old days sometimes, when it was just the four of them as a family. When the gray tom stopped his blabbering, it was always her cue to daintly prod his shoulder with a white paw and call him cotton-headed. Then he'd stick his tongue out at her like he always did as they tumbled back into their laughter. There was no doubt about it. She loved her brother, and she loved the family she saw as perfect, even if her other brother was a know-it-all.
Their chattering stopped (or, more accurately, Thistlepaw stopped rambling at her) when they both recognized a familiar scent among all in the camp. His ears flickered happily and Daffodilpaw caught his teal eyes with a more vibrant grin than before. She was quick to swivel her head around in the direction of their faint, loved floral scent. One thing that she was sure all three of them could agree on was that the time they were able to spend with their mother alone was cut too short for any of their likings, or at the very least, hers. While she was off training with Frostfire, it always seemed like the opportune time for Palefur to return to camp from her patrol. It was frustrating, but what pieces of prey and quick stories before sundown meant the world to Daffodilpaw, and in a way, it made their time as a family more special for it.
The sparkle in her eyes was sobered at the sight of who she learned was called Badgerfur, or what she liked to call the family tourist. She couldn't help it when her lips faltered slightly into a straight line across her stubby face.
