Pigeonstep | ShadowClan Warrior

❀ Name:: Pigeonkit → Pigeonpaw → Pigeonstep
❀ Age:: 16 moons
❀ Gender:: Female
❀ Clan:: ShadowClan
❀ Rank:: Warrior
❀ Name Analysis:: Her ‘Pigeon-‘ prefix denotes her colouration and her ‘-step’ suffix was given to signify her great stealth as well as to honour her father.

❀ Summary description:: A pretty dilute calico she-cat with chartreuse eyes.
❀ Detailed Description:: Pigeonstep is a dilute calico, meaning her pelt is predominantly a soft grey hue with patches of cream tabby, and white on her throat, legs, and tail tip. She’s arguably pretty, with large chartreuse eyes and a few tiny freckles on the right side of her nose. Pigeonstep is neither particularly tall or short in comparison to her clanmates; she is a rather average ShadowClan cat. She has medium length silky fur.
❀ Breed:: Mix - though traces of Russian Blue and Turkish Angora can be seen in her appearance.

❀ Personality:: Due to only recently being made a warrior, Pigeonstep’s sunny disposition is often mistaken for immaturity. She is rather mischievous and competitive with a love for races and pranks, and her talent for stealth allows her to carry out one of her favourite pastimes; sneaking up on friends and strangers alike and spooking them. Although she means no harm, this tends to earn her the ire of her clanmates and sometimes leads to fights with less friendly outsiders.

Apart from the select few, Pigeonstep doesn’t care what anyone else thinks about her. But (contrary to what her brother thinks) excluding her pranking habit she won’t do anything impulsive or crazy; she’s quite level-headed and usually thinks her actions through.

Pigeonstep is a peacemaker, focused first and foremost on the least violent solution. Her friendly nature towards cats of other clans, loners, and kittypets can often make her come across as naïve; she’s very lax about clan rules and won’t even be hostile to trespassing felines. She is full of compassion, unable to stand seeing others endangered unreasonably, and is deceptively perceptive and empathetic. Overall a good cat Pigeonstep means little harm towards most, though, true to loyalty, puts her clan and loved ones first.

❀ History::
When Pebblefur discovered she was pregnant, her reaction was vastly different from her mate’s. The queen was overjoyed at the prospect of having children and hurried to announce her news to anyone and everyone who would listen. Badgerstep (Pebblefur’s mate) was terrified and quickly begun to distance himself from the queen, effectively turning Pebblefur’s delight into despair as she begun to realise she may have to raise the kits on her own.

When the time came for Pebblefur to give birth there were complications… She did not survive. But she managed to name her two healthy kits before she passed: Pigeonkit and Slatekit. The siblings were nursed by another ShadowClan queen and, feeling immensely guilty for pushing Pebblefur away before her untimely death, Badgerstep vowed to be the best father he could and spent all his spare time visiting the nursery.

Like all clanborn cats Pigeonkit and Slatekit became apprentices at six moons old and earned their apprentice names: Pigeonpaw and Slatepaw. It became apparent to the clan very quickly that although they were siblings, they were very different cats. Slatepaw was a skilled fighter yet Pigeonpaw had a penchant for hunting. Pigeonpaw had a very laidback outlook on life whereas Slatepaw was stoic and dutiful. Pigeonpaw was funloving while Slatepaw was distant.

Moons passed, and one leafbare Pigeonpaw and Badgerstep caught greencough. Sadly Badgerstep passed away from the illness, and it was due to his death that Slatepaw realised the importance of family and became a lot more protective of his sister. Pigeonpaw recovered and Slatepaw began to pay more attention to her – both a blessing and a curse to the she-cat.

The siblings earned their warrior names: Pigeonstep (in honour of her stealth and her father) and Slatefur (in honour of his pelt and his mother).
❀ Trivia::
• Pigeonstep fears that if she ever has kits she might die giving birth like her mother did.
• She is a terrible fighter. Her true talent is sneaking around and hunting.
