Mistypetal

[attr="class","arrgenMAINTEXT"]Soft, sweet, hopeful, and wishful, Mistypetal seems to have her head in the clouds. Her view of the world may come across as naive, though she believes that there in goodness in the world, even if she can't see it. No matter how tightly the darkness consumes her, Mistypetal refuses to let it change who she is and the things she believes inside her heart.

Hopeful ~ Hope is precious to Mistypetal and a concrete aspect of her personality. Even if she can't see the light, she refuses to stop believing in it. Sometimes she can get stuck in helplessness, but she knows it won't last forever and she holds that close to her heart.

Helpful ~ Mistypetal puts the needs of others above her own. She will always try to find a way to help, even if it is simply being supportive. This can cause her to sometimes neglect her own needs and pretend she doesn't have needs, but her heart is in the right place.

Amiable ~ An aura of safeness seems to surround Mistypetal. She's friendly and easy to approach. As a social butterfly, she naturally inclined towards being around others. Despite her self-consciousness Mistypetal can't help being attracted to those in need or are kind. She appreciates positivity and tries to surround herself with it, seeing the beauty in the small things.

Self-conscious ~ Mistypetal's view of herself is incredibly negative. She feels a lot of shame for who she is and worries that others don't like her. She's scared that she is toxic and instead of giving hope to the world she gives off sadness and despair. As she has grown she has learned who she is, but Mistypetal is still learning that it's okay for her to be who she is. Finding her voice is an everyday struggle for her. Sometimes she needs reassurance and is dependent on others for affirmation.

Scatterbrained ~ It is hard for Mistypetal to control her focus. She has a tendency to pay attention to everything which makes it hard for her to retain information. Listening to very important to the young she-cat, and it is something she wishes she could improve. It isn't uncommon for her to get distracted by flowers and butterflies and pretty things. A piece of something she finds beauty inside can pull her in fairly easily.

Indecisive ~ Making decisions is a struggle for the young Medicine Cat. Sometimes she has a difficult time listening to her inner voice. And even when she does hear that small voice, she questions it. Mistypetal doesn't always know the right answer. A lot of times it can be hard for her to see outside her situation and know what is the best choice. Oftentimes she worries about this, and it makes it even more difficult for her to choose. But when she listens to her heart, she tends to make good choices.

Insecure ~ Sometimes it feels like everything she tries to do in a positive way ends up hurting others and being toxic. This is something she focuses on a lot and struggles to come to terms with.

Envious ~ Mistypetal has a hard time realizing that she has all she needs. She tends to be incredibly envious and compare herself to others. Part of this might be her fear of being selfish. Focusing on others keeps her from being selfish - or so she thinks. But she tends to neglect herself and then wish she had the affection that others have learned to give themselves.

Naive ~ Mistypetal sees the good in everyone and everything to a fault. Sometimes this causes her to ignore danger and be a bit reckless. She will let herself get hurt over and over and still focus on the good in the world rather than accept that she can't heal the bad. Part of this is her choice but, part of it is her confusion on how anyone could possibly want to hurt others. She simply can't understand why anyone would be that way.

Sensitive ~ The world can seem a bit overwhelming for her. Her feelings are easily hurt, and she takes things personally. When Mistypetal sees something sad and feels helpless it touches her heart. Like a sponge, she will soak up the problems of others and try to take their pain away by giving it to herself. This method isn't effective but, it helps her find peace in how unfair the world is. Boundaries are something she is still learning how to develop and implement.

Mistykit was born to a kind and caring mother and a stubborn and absent father. Her father had ambitious plans. He wanted to be the best Warrior he could be. It didn't seem to matter to him if this meant spending less time with his family. Perhaps he didn't see it that way. But Mistykit could sense her mother felt that way. Her mother loved her so incredibly much and did everything she could to care for Mistykit and her siblings. But oftentimes, the she-cat was surrounded by a cloud of sadness. As much as she pretended to hide it from her kittens, Mistykit could see it. Mistykit could hear her mother's wails when she thought she was sleeping. She could sense the sadness and yearn for affection clinging to her mother. Mistykit tried her best to make her mother happy, but she could never heal her from the pain. And soon, she began to carry that pain too.

Mistykit couldn't help but giggle as she bumped her nose into delicate flower petals, twirling in delight as she was graced with the sweet scent hidden inside the gentle being's blossoms. Even as a kitten, she was a social butterfly. She was happiest when her nose kissed flowers. It became obvious to those around her that Mistykit had an odd interest in plants. At this age she stood out for her kindness towards nature. As she grew she would use flower petals and small pieces of leaves to flavor her water. Sometimes her creations tasted fairly gross, but sometimes she would make something delicious.

Her creativity blossomed when she became Willowleaf's apprentice. As Medicine Cat Apprentice, each day was precious and wonderful. She found hope in the small things. Some days were harder than others, and sometimes she couldn't help as much as she wished to. But she adored helping her Clan. Mistypaw focused on the good things in her life. Soon though, she learned that there were cats who weren't like her - cats that didn't adore kindness and compassion. She learned about some of the darkness in the world, and it was astonishing. The small she-cat would curl up in her nest and pray to StarClan, wishing away all the evil that crept around her. But no matter how much she wished, Mistypaw soon learned that the darkness wasn't going away. In part, Mistypaw blamed herself for the despair. It was somehow her fault that all the bad things in the world happened. If only she were kinder. If only she were sweeter. Maybe she could change the world.

Much to her dismay, when ShadowClan was in need, Cherrystar would not offer ThunderClan's help. A sickness had consumed the Clan, and they were desperate for help. Mistypaw knew their herb supply was low, but she was sure there was a way for them to help somehow. During this time, her insecurity had become a core part of her personality, and she was afraid to speak up. Maybe helping ShadowClan wasn't the best option for ThunderClan. She trusted Cherrystar and Willowleaf.
