Personality

--> Cheerful: Floodstem is a bright, sunny personality, for the most part. She often becomes nervous, but is easy to reassure and excite. She takes joy in performing her duties with her clanmates.
--> Friendly: Even with strangers Floodstem is an approachable and polite cat.
--> Fair: Being a member of a relatively large family, Floodstem has become adept at judging the word of others and weighing her options. She’s inclined to fairness in her decision making.
--> Passive: Floodstem could easily be told what to do, or be turned off from an idea if influenced by another cat. She has opinions but hesitates to voice them, especially if she’s in the minority.  
--> Emotional: She’s readily expresses her emotions to her clanmates and is otherwise very obvious about them.
--> Social: Floodstem is rarely ever alone, always choosing to spend time with others rather than take time for herself.
--> Unintelligent: Floodstem isn’t very knowledgeable, and has a poor memory. She knows what she does because she’s practiced it so often, and often asks questions which might have obvious answers.
--> Dishonest: She may not always agree with you, but she will say that she does. She doesn’t want to disappoint anybody or make them upset, and when asked how she feels she will always say that she feels absolutely fine (even when her body language tells another story).
--> Impatient: She can’t stand waiting, not for a second. She tries very hard to mask this, but it’s obvious in the twitch of her whiskers and the restless tapping of her paws.
--> Confident: Since confronting RiverClan during her move into WindClan, Floodstem's realized that she has no reason not to be completely direct and straightforward with her thoughts. It's exhilarating. 


History

Kithood :
   Floodkit and her brother Flickerkit were born to the RiverClan warrior Sootflower during a terrible storm, surrounded by family. While her older siblings, Rabbitears and Softburrow, weren't present, Sootflower's mates Burrchaser and Shineheart were there to offer the medicine cat assistance and to offer Sootflower comfort while she fretted over her pain, her children, and the weather. Once both kits were proclaimed healthy and strong Sootflower finally relaxed, and named her kits after both the flooded banks of the river and the lightning arcing across the sky. 

   Floodkit's older sisters were a big influence on her character in her first moons, visiting when they had the free time and telling their younger siblings about life outside of camp. Floodkit and Flickerkit would parade around camp asking the other warriors for details. Where Floodkit was simply curious, Flickerkit would make mischief with the other kits by pretending to be all manner of territory invader and 'rampaging' around the camp, pulling his littermate into his games. 

Apprenticeship:
   Floodpaw spent much of her apprenticeship setting the rules aside and doing what interested her, though she followed instructions from warriors and her mentor while actively training. She had a penchant for sneaking out of camp without a warrior and exploring the territory, often traveling to the ShadowClan border to speak to her friend Mothpaw.
   On one such excursion Floodpaw chased a squirrel over the WindClan border and killed it for prey, but she was caught by their leader Kestrelstar. Kestrelstar let her off with a warning, and Floodpaw was very effected by his kindness at her young age. 
   The apprentice Squirrelpaw was later torn apart and puppeted by a malicious entity haunting the territories. 
   When Tidestar blamed the apprentice's death on WindClan Floodpaw sought to speak out but was ignored. TideStar only became more erratic afterwards. He refused to listen to the warriors who'd witnessed the event, but Floodpaw--- who had, until this time, not believed in the spirits ---was swayed by their tale, and she was upset by Tidestar's unmoving stance against WindClan, who she believed to be good, upright cats. After Tidestar returned from a border skirmish during which former RiverClan warrior Sandrunner was killed and announced stricter rules against wandering the territory Floodpaw fled and hid beneath a fallen log. She spent two weeks living off of RiverClan's territory, only taking what she thought wouldn't be missed by hunters and barely sleeping to avoid meeting Squirrelpaw's fate.
   After two weeks and riddled with exhaustion Floodpaw came to the WindClan border again and found the warrior Doesong unconscious and in need of assistance. She crossed the border again to help the sick warrior back to her camp, and once they arrived she sought Kestrelstar to ask if she might join his clan. She explained herself, and he offered her a place with them so long as she could tell Tidestar and RiverClan where she was going. She was reluctant, but agreed. 
   Following another gathering where RiverClan did not appear, Floodpaw went back to the RiverClan camp, but she was met by Spitfire rather than Tidestar. Spitfire accepted her admission, but after Floodpaw offered a remark over her shoulder to the nature of Tidestar's health and leadership Spitfire and another warrior chased her from the territory. 

Warriorhood:
   Floodpaw was named Floodstem a moon after she was admitted into WindClan.

NAME | CLAN | [BUBBLES]

______________________

DESC./THOUGHTS

KESTRELSTAR | WINDCLAN | ✎ ✓✓

______________________
WindClan's leader didn't get her in trouble for stealing that squirrel. He didn't seem particularly happy about it, but he didn't even tell her to tell her mentor! What an interesting guy. She's interested in how he operates his clan, and wouldn't mind speaking to him again under different circumstances. 

MOTHPAW | SHADOWCLAN | ★ ✓
______________________
They spent most of their first meeting arguing about whether or not the ghosts exist, but Floodstem is happy to call Mothpaw a friend and an ally. They're both determined to get to the bottom of what's happening in their territories, and a little disagreement as to the cause isn't going to stop them from doing that. 

MIDNIGHTRIPPLE | RIVERCLAN | ✎ 
______________________
Midnightripple seems to be a very kind warrior, and Floodstem appreciated her attempt to track Floodstem down even if it wasn't what she wanted.

TIDESTAR | RIVERCLAN | ✗✗
______________________
At one point Floodstem had idolized Tidestar as her leader, but the more at odds their ideals became the more Floodstem came to dislike him. She doesn't trust him, and she doesn't like him, and she believes that he is leading RiverClan into a difficult position.

DOESONG | WINDCLAN | 
______________________
She hasn't been able to get to know Doesong very well, but Floodstem knows that the molly won't hurt her and wouldn't like to see Doesong hurt in return.

SPOTTEDFIRE | ROGUE | 
______________________
Floodstem doesn't know Spottedfire, but she knows that Spottedfire is threatening and dangerous.
