KOIPAW
T H E B A S I C S
☆ Name:: ☆ Clan:: WindClan
☆ Rank:: Apprentice
☆ Age:: 7 moons (just over half a year old)
☆ Gender:: Female
☆ Reason For Name:: Her ‘Koi-‘ prefix was given because her colouration resembles that of a koi fish. When she receives her full name, her ‘-dapple’ suffix will be chosen to once again reflect her pelt pattern.

☆ Description:: A little calico she-cat with light golden eyes.☆ Detailed Description:: Her most notable attribute is her kit-like face. She looks younger than she really is and it is doubtful she will ever appear her age (if it weren’t for the negative connotations, her full name would’ve probably been Koiface). Koipaw is smaller than the average cat. She has a very delicate and feminine appearance with her kit-face, slim body, slender legs and small paws. Like most WindClanners, her lithe frame allows for greater speed and agility than more heavily built cats, but also means that she is lacking in the strength department.
Like the fish she was named after, Koipaw is mostly an off-white hue with splashes of black and orange across her back and head. Her tail does not have any white colouration; it is a mesh of black and ginger. She has light golden eyes, which (when she's not in her usual nervous mood) are full of warmth.
☆ Breed:: Mix - most prominently American Wirehair and Turkish Van

☆ Personality:: First and foremost, Koipaw is skittish. She tends to have a very nervous disposition with a constantly twitching tail and eyes that dart around the area, making sure she knows where everyone is before she situates herself in a position she can’t be snuck up on.She despises confrontation. Simply having someone raise their voice at her will damage her self-esteem enough for her to not want to talk to the aggressor for days, and if she is put under extreme stress for a sustained period of time she becomes prone to emotional outbursts, which of course include a lot of crying and cursing - a stark contrast to her usual polite exterior.
If someone were to take the time to look past her skittishness, they would find that Koipaw has a gentle nature. She’s as sweet as they come and simply wishes to be kind. She’s seemingly incapable of being mean or harsh and tends to sugar coat things, worried she may hurt someone, but this can sometimes lead to bigger problems when others begin to suspect they can’t trust her to be honest.
Koipaw enjoys giving compliments and helping others to see positive qualities in themselves that they may have not previously recognised. As someone who has a quite low self-esteem, she knows how uplifting it can be to be praised. She's a bit of a people-pleaser. She wants everyone to like her and respect her, so she is generous with her smiles and quick to offer her assistance whenever possible. However, her 'always here to help' attitude, though endearing to some, can be very annoying to others. It also makes her very easy to manipulate into doing things that other cats want to avoid, because if doing something will make them like her more, she'll do it.
The little she-cat has always been clingy. She has a constant fear of losing those she is attached to (which is pretty much anyone who smiles at her) and she'd rather keep them all safe. The same thing goes with her favourite things. She has a bad habit of taking objects like soft feathers or nice smelling flowers and keeping them to herself, getting extremely upset when she either loses them or someone takes them.

☆ History:: Many cats raised their eyebrows when Yewshine named her single kit Koikit. It was traditionally a RiverClan name, for cats who belonged in the water; not the moorlands. It wasn't long before rumours began to circulate about Koikit's heritage and it didn't help that Yewshine refused to name the father, but she insisted that Koikit was wholly WindClan, and with no proof to suggest otherwise, the clan was forced to accept it.Koikit was nervous. A twitchy, small she-cat who quickly begun to shy away from warriors when she was old enough to notice the curious and/or judging looks they sent in her direction. She didn't play as much as the other kits her age, and instead she spent a lot of time hiding in the corners of the medicine den where not many would look for her. Her fearful nature made it clear that she would not do well as a warrior apprentice, but as Sunnystep already had an apprentice, Koikit was too shy to ask Flashstar if she could train to be a medicine cat as well; she didn't want to cause problems and put Sunnystep under more stress by giving her another apprentice. Therefore, when she reached six moons, she became a warrior apprentice like most clan cats do.
☆ Trivia::
• She's actually not too bad in a fight - not because she can fight, but because she's strangely good at dodging attacks.
