nightingalepaw

[attr="class","arrgenMAINTEXT"]Though Nightingalepaw has a big heart, she's also extremely timid. As a kit she bared played with the other kits-- she refused to leave her mother's, or her sisters', sides unless forced. She's very shy around cats she doesn't know well and tends to be very distant or guarded around them. On the other paw, she holds those she loves very close to her, and can even be a bit overprotective. She's a very emotional cat and tends to get depressed easily, and is even a bit of a crybaby. It doesn't take much at all to dampen her spirits and make her cry, but it also doesn't take much to cheer her up, either. But repeated offenses result in her shying away from the cat causing her pain and avoiding them at all costs. But she warms up quickly to those that show her the love and compassion she so dearly craves and quickly becomes dependent on them.

She's very easy to scare, as skittish as she is, and tends to be very easy to sneak up on. Whether intentionally or not, she tries her best to avoid cats who often approach from behind. Her nerves are already shot, she doesn't need anyone trying to give her a heart attack. Nightingalepaw isn't a cat that tends to get angry-- she might get annoyed or irritated in very rare cases, but more often than not she's the one apologizing for any wrongdoings she may have done. She's quite a pushover, and doesn't really know how to stand up for herself. The apprentice tends to get embarrassed rather easily, and it's not hard at all to get under her skin. She tends to try and hide when she gets embarrassed, and doesn't know how to handle compliments or flirting.

Despite her rather prominent skittishness, she really is quite a warm and friendly presence. She's very gentle, and loves to take walks alone in the territory if given the chance. She loves to observe and just listen to the sounds of nature, and has a great fondness for pretty flowers. She cares deeply for her loved ones, even if she's too embarrassed to show it much, but tries her best to please the cats around her. It's not unlike her to do little things to cheer up her family or friends, just to see them smile. Nothing matter more to her than the well-being of her loved ones, and she wants to be able to protect them when she grows up. Even though she's very nervous around strangers, she'll still try and offer assistance if she sees a cat in need, as her guilt wouldn't allow her to just ignore them.

Incredibly selfless and compassionate, she would be willing to do anything for her friends and family. She'd even be willing to throw herself into danger if she saw someone she cared about in trouble, and is willing to go to great lengths to ensure Windclan's well-being. She's also very eager to learn, and is looking forward to her time as an apprentice. She wants nothing more than to learn how to be a good warrior so she can protect those she loves. She's very attentive and obedient, and is willing to do anything her mentor says. She's so eager to please, she'll even attempt to practice what she's learned on her off days so that she can show her progress to her mentor.

Nightingalekit, Mothkit, and Butterflykit are born to Wrenwhisper and Firecall. She would only be a moon old when Emberstar came into power, and even older when she is informed of her large family. She would quickly make a reputation for herself as one of the shyest kits, preferring to snuggle into her mother's fur or hide behind her sister Mothkit rather than play with the other kits.

She was still a kit when the battle went down and Emberstar died, along with her father. She doesn't feel anything when Firecall dies-- he terrified her, more than anything. She and her siblings were made into apprentices by the newly named Viperstar, and though she's incredibly anxious about leaving the nursery, she has gained a bit of hope that maybe she can learn to be less timid and easily frightened. She wants to become someone her mother could be proud of, even if she doesn't quite know how to go about doing that yet.
