Death: Rippletide was sitting near a swamp crying on a rainy day, she was grieving for her mother's murder.

Long thick claws has pierced her through, digging into her skin. Rippletide fell backwards into the mucky, thick swamp, her pelt clinging to the mud at the bottom. The cat lashed his claws at her underbelly, the swamp turning red. Moments later, Rippletide drowned.

Personality:
Kind: Rippletide will be kind to those who be kind to her as well. She is mostly nice to her good friends, but she has a mild attitude towards friends she is distance in relationships of since having more of a stubborn personality with a pretty high temper.

Stubborn: She is very stubborn, she will not listen or take commands to cats whom are not a respected alley cat, or an elder. If a warrior bosses her around, she won't be too fond of them unless they make it up to her by apologizing to her or saying she's the best fighter ever. She'll ignore a cat if it teases her or becomes plain rude, or even scratch them if she gets annoyed by them enough, which usually happens.

Protective: Rippletide is very protective of her friends, and loves every one of them. If they get hurt or hated on, she instantly helps. She is mostly protective of her very close friends, and friends that aren't very close to her she wont care too much about. If her crush was ever in trouble, she would do anything to help him. If they got ambushed by horrid alley cats, she's help them in away way she can.

Cocky: Rippletide always accepts a challenge, even if she knows she can't beat it. She always is willing to show of her skills to the other cats, just to be a big show of and brag about herself. If someone thinks they're the best, she's up for the challenge! She'll do a fighting challenge, jumping challenge, hunting challenge, or the best burping challenge! :"D

Caring: If Rippletide finds a lost kit or an injured warrior, or an elder that needs help with something, she help them even if they are from a different Clan. She is very motherly and just loves the little kits that crawl around everywhere, she thinks their small sizes are simply adorable. If a kitten annoys her, she will not hurt it at all, but merely move somewhere else or ignore it.

Fearless: Rippletide fears nothing! Most of it is because of being cocky and protective. She wants to prove that she's the best and no one can outrank her in that! She believes she is the best, and her hopes are so high she thinks, and attempts, to beat everything that tries to become better.

Temper: Rippletide has a high temper, if someone flirts with her crush, she will instantly dislike or even hate them. If it was her best friend, she's be okay with it but highly jealous if her crush like them for than her. Rippletide, being stubborn with a high temper, is a hard cat to deal with. If someone messed with Rippletide when she's mad, she'll freak out on them. She'll yell and spit on their path, or even shred their ears if they really get her mad!



Brief Backstory:
::Kit::
A small calico she-cat, named Marble, purred as she curled herself around a small scrap of a kit. Her voice was as soft as a feather as she hummed a low melody while licking the kitten's head, her rough tongue smoothing its fur. The rain batted at the roof of the den Marble managed to find, small puddles were forming around her paws as rain dripped from the ceiling. Fierce winds blew into the den, chilling Marble to the bone as it splattered her with the large drops of rain. She purred and looked down at the kit's light cyan hued eyes, "What a beautiful kitten. The rain and wind must be a sign for your name..." Marble paused and thought, her green gaze staring as the kit, "I'll name you Riptide, for the ripping winds and the water." She spoke in a calm soothing voice, but inside she was much afraid. The prey was seemingly scarce in the territory she was in, and she could be an easy meal for a bigger animal that lurked in these dark woods. Marble curled her long fluffy tail around her newly named kitten, Riptide, closing her eyes to be greeted by the wave of sleep. She soon woke up to find herself with a bruise on her head, "What in the world?" Marble mewed to herself, bewildered and worried. She frantically looked around, her ears perked in alarm, "Oh my kit! My kit!" She wailed and searched everywhere on the ground, she couldn't pick up a trace of were her little lost Riptide could be. She opened her maw to scent anything that could be her kit, but everything was too near and she could not find her little kitten anywhere in this area. But suddenly she heard mewling from above her cranium, so she looked up and her gaze turned into absolute horror as she witnessed her kit dangling from a tree branch. She instantly unsheathed her claws and leaped at the tree branch, her claws hooking into the bark. She pulled herself up until she got to the tree branches, there she started to hop from branch to branch. Finally, as she panted, she got to the tree her kit was on. She slowly and carefully padded towards Riptide on the scrawny tree branch, hoping she would not fall. But her hopes were soon smashed as she saw her hit now hanging from the tree, the only support she had was her paws clinging for dear life. Marble jumped from the tree as soon as Riptide fell, and ran to were she would hit the ground. There was so squeal of pain, or a thud on the ground, Marble had successfully caught her little kit by the scruff. Surprisingly, her kit was unharmed. She worriedly licked her kit frantically around her body to warm her up and to make her calm again. What dreadful thing would do this? Marble thought it might have been some evil forest cat that had taken her precious away from her. As Marble licked her kit, she thought long and hard about something she didn't wan to do, but thinking it was for the best of her kitten's life.

::Apprentice::
Riptide sprang around, her paws sinking deep into the damp terrain of the bank of the lake, she loved splashing through the water and getting her mother wet. Riptide perked her ears as she soaked her mother and she groaned. Marble mewed to Riptide with annoyance, "Can't you go and find a better game to play? I'd like to take a nap without drowning, please." She said with a short smile, then closed her eyes again. Riptide laid down by her and pouted, sand sticking in clumps in her damp pelt, "Oh but mama! There's nothing to do here besides splash around, what else can I do? I could show you my skills, but you'd be jealous." Riptide mewed to her mother teasingly. Marble peered at her with her gaze opened in slits, "Just enjoy yourself, Riptide, you're almost an adult cat, so start behaving like a proper lady!" She mewed at Riptide, frustrated with her daughter. Riptide sighed and faceplanted into the sand, "Mama..." She grounds and padded away, dragging her face in the sand. Stubbornly, she gazed across the water. Riptide became shocked, her eyes squinted into small slits, she could have swore she saw movement across the lake! She turned and pranced back to her mother, "Mama!! Mama!" She yowled, and Marble sprang to her paws, fur bristling, "What??? What is it, Riptide?" She ran into her daughter. Riptide's gaze was full of wonder and interest, "I saw movement across the lake! It looked like other cats!" She squealed and rolled on the ground. Marble licked her fur, smoothing it down, "Are you sure?" She said, a worried look in her gaze. Riptide sat up and looked at her mother, "What's wrong, mama?". Marble sighed, "Oh...that's RiverClan, but I'll tell you about it when you get older. Now lets get back to the den, it's getting late!" Riptide let out a long obnoxious sigh and followed her mother with her tail drooping.
When they finally arrived at their home, Marble laid down on her moss bed and fell into a deep sleep, but Riptide peered outside. Her gaze was full of wonder about the cats across the lake. She though about what her mother said, there was a Clan called RiverClan on the other side of the lake. She wondered what the Clan was like, and if they were really how the rouges and kittypets say they are like. Riptide doubted it, the Clans seem nice and powerful, full of many cats. She wondered if there were more cats like RiverClan, and if there were, where could she find them? Her claws sunk into the moss of her bedding, making small holes in it. She felt a chill down her spine, what if she joined a Clan? Riptide thought for a moment, and was sure her mother would refuse to let her meet a Clan.

Roleplay Sample:

Rippletide silently stared down at the river's edge, her muscles tense and paws itching to swipe at something in the water. Her face was close to the river as she stared, her cyan hued gaze unblinking as she peered into the clear liquid. She looked downstream, and saw a quick flash of silver. Instantly, as if on cue, she unsheathed her claws swiped a forepaw deep into the water, but perhaps a little too deep. The force of her swiping made her go forward and splash into the cold water. She kicked and paddled her powerful slender legs to stay afloat and keep her head above the current, her large paws giving her an advantage. Rippletide rapidly kicked her legs under the water, heading for the bank to get to the land. Finally, after what seemed like two moons, she finally sunk her claws into the damp ground at the edge of the river, and pulled herself onto the dry terrain, plopping her soaked body into the grass.
