Personality

[Loyal] [Protective] [Bright] [Quick] [Stubborn] [Judgmental]

Happy, pleasant, and extremely loyal to anyone in her clan. To those outside, beware. This warrior is one she-cat that shouldn't be toyed with. A strong tactile fighter and powerful protector. However, to those that she is comfortable with, she is warm and trusting.

Loyal Quicksilver is very loyal to her clan, and anyone not part of it is considered an outsider. She cares for her clanmates and will do what she can to make her clan a better place. Unfortunately, because she grew up on the streets, she is very wary of outsiders, and normally doesn’t like them. She believes that anything that goes against the warrior code is wrong. Her loyalties also make her a firm believer in the warrior code, and she holds a deep dislike, almost a hate, for those that shun it.

Protective Because she is so loyal, she will go to great lengths to protect someone or something that she loves. She is quick, and will fight and kill if need be. She had never killed another cat, but she has come close before.

Persistent When there is a problem, you know that Quicksilver will be there to solve it. She won’t necessarily be right the first time, but she is persistent and will come up with some good ideas. She is very creative, and will find interesting new ways to solve problems when they come up.

Stubborn She has problems with being wrong. When she is wrong, she doesn’t like to admit it. She sticks with her ideas to the bloody end, and sometimes they drag her down. When she holds a particular feeling towards something or someone, it is very difficult to get her to change her mind.

Judgmental Due to her stubbornness, she tends to hold some stereotypes, and is quick to judge someone based on their past. This is why she holds a deep dislike for kittypets. She believes they are stupid for staying with two legs, when two legs are so stupid anyway.

History

Kithood

Being the only kit of her two young parents, she was spoiled to death. Her parents were rogues who had a small territory of their own. They named her Swift, after the bird, because they hoped that her name would lend her speed to outmaneuver any adversary. Her mother Chickadee was demanding when it came to manners though, so she learned how to act and speak politely. Whenever he had time, her father Otter came and played with her, since she had no siblings to play with. Her parents loved each other very much, and they would often sit together and watch their only daughter play. Swift was a rambunctious when playing, but when her mother set her down for lessons such as counting and grooming, she was very studious. She loved to learn. Then tragedy struck.

Apprenticeship

Two days before he had promised to take her out to show her their small territory, her father started acting oddly. He was weaker than normal, and didn’t want to eat. Swift wasn’t too worried, because she believed that her father was invincible. Unfortunately, she was wrong. He died of greencough the night before she was supposed to go out with him. She was curled in her nest, too excited to sleep, when she heard her mother’s wail from their den announcing his death. There was nothing that she could do.

The death stung her deeply. She loved her father very much, and for nearly a cycle afterwards, she became deeply depressed. Her mother had a hard time as well, and they grieved together. Living by themselves was difficult, because Otter had done much of the hunting. Prey was scarce that cycle as well. They became thin and were nearly starving. Then one day, she came across another rogue in their territory. At first, she was ready to chase him off, but he told her of a gathering that was going to happen. In a half of a moon, all of the cats of the forest and the surrounding twoleg place were going to meet at the four ancient oaks. Swift knew of the place because of what her father had told her. The invading cat was on his way there. She decided to go with him. It was a change that she desperately needed. She told the cat to wait, that she would go get her mother, and they went on her way. They would not have been able to survive on their own otherwise.

Warrior

In the ensuing battle at the ancient oaks, Swift fought beside her mother bravely. The cat who had lead them there died in the battle. When it came time to choose who to follow, Swift went with Thunder. He seemed strong, and like a good protector, which was something that she sorely missed from her father not being around anymore. Chickadee went with Swift as well, and they supported each other while the clans formed. Swift took the name Quicksilver, so she could fit herself to her new lifestyle better and start entirely fresh.

She became a respected warrior, regarded as clever and sophisticated, although sometimes a bit too stubborn. Her loyalty and general good disposition made her well liked. Recently, tragedy has struck her again though. Her mother was killed last leafbare while fighting a fox. She was bitten in the shoulder, and died of infection to the injury. Quicksilver is still grieving for her, but doesn’t show it much because of her stubbornness.

Roleplay Sample

Quicksilver slid out of the warriors den. The mornings were still crisp and chilly, and frost crackled on the leaves of the bushes around the camp. Her nose twitched, and she sneezed at the cold air. Spring might be here during the day, but at night was another thing. She had been grateful for her bushy tail last night, when she had been able to wrap it around her nose and warm herself. She reveled in the refreshing feeling of it though. Heat made her feel like she couldn’t function. Long fur was a bad thing sometimes. She now stretched, arching her back toward the ground with her feet behind her. Ahhh, it was good to be a Thunderclan cat. She wouldn’t have it any other way.
