MEDICINE CAT ◉ shadowclan ◉ he/him ◉ homosexual ◉ chaotic neutral

dappledkit - dappledpaw - dappledghost

Dappledghost has his prefix for a reason, his coat looks like a bunch of dappled fallen leaves. eh is a dilute calico, his pelt a mix of light oranges, greys, and creams. his fur is thin and he is in no way muscular like a shadowclanner should be, having a thin and lean body like a cat of windclans instead. he's not small but he sure is skinny, looking fit when he really..isn't. he has dainty paws and you could probably blow him over with a gentle breeze. he's fast and quick on his paws though, zipping around cats easily, even if he doesn't like running. he has a long tail and long whiskers, with clear claws that could cut anyone's throat.

they are in no ways really a joy to be around. it's hard to get past their grumpy exterior. his words can be snappy and more often than not he goes just a bit too far. his moods are unpredictable, as sometimes he can be more quiet and gentle, and other times more rude and arrogant. he does this because he feels a need to constantly have a wall up against other cats, not letting them see his "weak side" because he is a medicine cat, and he should be the one healing others, not the other way around. so he has a habit of pushing cats away with his words, and only the true ones stay beyond that. don't get him wrong, he isn't angry all of the time, but when he isn't he can seem..emotionless, or neutral. it wouldn't be so concerning if he didn't lack emotion in dire situations. but that's just ghost for you. he has some good traits though, he works well under pressure which makes him a good medicine cat. he can work in any situation cats give him, no matter what day or time. hes intelligent with everything he says and does, thinking it over because he knows his actions are dire, and that most of the clans are watching. even if he knows that he's pretty stubborn, and its hard to change his mind when he thinks he's right and gets prideful. sometimes he's too prideful for his own good, though, and causes him to be stubborn to ask for help when he needs it most. he tried to be every barring on his shoulders with no help, and that could be his downfall.

dappledghost comes from windclan parents, he honestly doesn't know how he became a shadowclan medicine cat. he grew up in windclan, but after his mother found out his father was cheating on her with another shecat, she had fled to shadowclan in retaliation. so most of dapples memories are him in shadowclan, and it wasn't until he was an apprentice that she finally told him, and he was angry. he was angry that she made him believe that this was their birthplace. so, he ran away from shadowclan for awhile in search of his father, only to find out that he was dead, been killed in a border patrol fight. he was devastated, and when he returned to shadowclan he was informed that his mother had "went missing" from their territory when he really knows she ran away so she didn't have to face him. so dappled grew up angry and rebellious, but nothing to be rebellious of. he was very violent and would constantly push himself to battle train to get his aggression out. but he realizes..he needed some softness in his life. he wanted to give others the nurturing he was never given as a kit. so, he became a medicine cat. his rank soothes him the same way watercolor or any other form of art does.
