----------------------

(Name) Ashstep

(Past Names) Ashkit, Ashpaw 

Rank) Warrior/MaybeDeputyDependingOnHowThisWorksOut

(Clan) Heatherclan

--

(Breed) 50% Manx Cat, 50% Turkish Angora

(Gender) Female

(Age) 65 Moons (5+ years old) 

(Personality) 
[Insecure] [Patient] [Charismatic] [Obedient] [Skeptical] [Phlegmatic]

[Insecure (-)] Ashstep doesn't believe that she's a good leader... or, to be honest, a good cat. She thinks she's inexperienced despite her age, stupid, ugly, and a failure. Of course, she's not any of these things, but it doesn't stop her from thinking that way. Ashstep also finds it hard to take praise or compliments from other cats because of this.

[Phlegmatic (-)] Despite her insecurity, Ashstep finds it hard to display most of her emotions. She keeps her thoughts behind a steel wall, something her mother inadvertently trained her to do. She could be the happiest or the saddest cat in the clans, and she wouldn't show it. 

[Obedient (-/+)] No matter if she agrees to the order or not, Ashstep will carry it out in stride. Though if it goes against the warrior code, she will rebel, as she sees those rules to be higher than her betters' word, no matter how good-intentioned they are. Because of her obedience, many other cats believe her to be loyal to a fault. 

[Skeptical (-/+)] This she-cat has a lot of reservations, though she doesn't always share them. If someone asks for her opinion, she will express these doubts, but she often seems a little anxious or critical when she speaks out. 

[Patient (+)] Ashstep is a very patient she-cat. She is capable of waiting for a few hours in the same spot, only moving to stretch or tend to bodily needs. She likes to think that this is the only good trait she has.

[Charismatic (+)] Ashstep has a way with words, that's true. She tries to be empathetic and understand where everyone is coming from, so that she can come to a peaceful solution to most situations. It doesn't always work out, and when it doesn't she often becomes anti-social for a few days as self-punishment, but at least she tries to make things better.

(Background)

Ashkits life had started as fairly uninteresting. She and her sister, Mothkit, were born to a young warrior named Willowpelt. Though there was no father in sight, the kits didn't seem to care, though Ashkit always wondered why their mother snuck off at night. One day, when they were only a few months old, the sisters decided that they would follow their mother, and find out why she was always sneaking off... what they saw surprised them. Their mother was arguing with a tom, and he definately wasn't from their clan! Their mother was yelling something about how 'he hadn't even seen the kits yet', and that she loved him, and that he couldn't leave her. A half hour later, though, the tom told her he'd never loved her, and ran off. Willowpelt stood there for a long time, eyes wide with shock, before breaking down and practically sobbing. The kits reluctantly made themselves known, comforting their mother. When they went back to camp, Willowpelt was different. She was no longer the happy, good-humored she-cat that the sisters knew as their mother. She was now cold, distant, and angry. Willowpelt also told her kits the truth of their parentage, that their father was from Iceclan. It shocked them, but their mother hardly seemed to care. She only became more distant when they became apprentices. 

As an apprentice, Ashpaw began following in her mothers footsteps. She stopped showing emotions that, as a kit, she had shown, causing many of her old friends to leave her. Mothpaw stayed with her through it all, though, and was the only cat that Ashpaw talked to openly besides her mentor, a dashing young tom named Adderstrike. The sisters didn't see much of their mother anymore, but during their first gathering they finally met their father... and his new mate. Ashpaw hated him instantly, despite her broken relationship with her mother, but Mothpaw tried to be friendly... they were both sent away before they could say much of anything... which was probably for the best. A month before they became warriors, though, Mothpaw and Ashpaw decided that they would go hunting alone. Almost ironically, Mothpaw was killed during that outing by a badger, which her mentor had been named after. Ashpaw had ran the moment she smelled the creature coming, but Mothpaw had gotten stuck in the bracken... when Ashpaw came back with warriors, the only thing that they could find was blood. Her mother spoke to her the next day, taking her out into the territory and yelling at her, berating her and saying over and over again that she could have saved her sister... it was only her mentor coming by that saved her from her emotional torment... but the damage was done. Even to this day Ashstep believes it was her fault Mothpaw died. 

Being a warrior made her life a little easier, though. She still was scarred physically, but her mental health slowly began to rise again. She gained an apprentice by the time she was two season-cycles old, and his name had been Shrubpaw. A few moons into training, he died of illness, which caused her a lot of shock and anguish, as she had come to see the little tom as a brother. A year later, she met her half-brother, and the two became quick enemies. During a battle after their meeting, Otterpelt took off most of her right ear, and she took out one of his eyes. Luckily, they both know to stay away from each other in polite company... but they still butt heads. Her mother also died during the recent flood. 

Recently, Ashstep has begun to get some more self-confidence, though the going is slow.
