Description:
Rosepetal is a pure bred European Burmese. While she may not look like a rose, she asked for the name so she'd never forget her original kittypet name, Rose. Her fur is a creamy color that is marked here and there. Along her back it tans out to a sandy hue while her face looks covered in ash. Even her ears are ringed in gray. Her paws are small and her tail is short. The tan color contineus down her tail and her paws grow slightly gray at the tips.
Her chest seems almost white though the yellowish shade still shows through. Her nose is completely gray, a hint of pink lingering beneath it. Her whiskers are a light gray color which seem to blend well with her. Rosepetal's body is small though she uses it well. Her muzzle is stout but it is not dwarfed looking to the rest of her. Her rear is larger than her front. Her powerful backlegs meaning a strong attack.
Her ears stretch outward rather than up. Pink on the inside, they seemed ringed in ash while the outside is a cooling cream. Her brow is small, little room between her eyes and ears. Her eyes, the final part, are a shocking orange that show something. A hidden past, maybe as you'd call it. But maybe it's just moons of pain boiling beneath her pelt.
Personality:
Rosepetal tries to keep up her old act. She was once a beautiful character and, for a while, she believed nothing could take her down. How wrong that turned out to be.
Now, Rosepetal is a gentlehearted cat. Any kit will melt her to the core and she can hardy bring herself to scold harshly. Nobody knows why it's so hard on her to do such things. Rosepetal just thinks that youth should be exciting, not down and heartbreaking.
Second, she is emotional. Overly sometimes, to be hoenst. If she sees a kit, her eyes will water without control. Nobody knows why, except a few of the closest cats to her, why exactly she can't stand looking at kits and yet still have a heart yearning for them once more.
Lastly, she is shy. Rosepetal prefers the company of one cat and not talking much rather than the whole Clan at once. Her loyalties are strong since she fears her former life but at the same time, she does not wish to ever truly stand up. It's better to blend with the crowd, or so she believes.
History:
A pure breed cat does not come from a normal family. No, her parents were born to show their pelts in contests. The shows were what gave her the name North-home's "Athena." A truly foolish name which was shorted to Athena. All her siblings were named such things. North-home's "Aurora Sky" or just Aurora as her sister was dubbed, and then North-home's "Dragonfly" or just Dragon for her brother. Her mother seemed uncaring of her kits. No, that isn't true. Caring in a way that must be done to ensure survival. But not caring in a way that shows true love. It was neither her first litter nor her last. They were just part of a group to her.
Athena and her siblings lived it up until adoption came. Not all could be kept. Dragon was said to be kept because of his father's looks. Athena found it impossible to see why he would be chosen but it was useless to ponder it. She was chosen first of the two kits left. Aurora said her good-byes quietly and without sorrow to her tone. Athena wasn't afraid to cry a bit since she did love her sister. Aurora wasn't going to cry one bit though. Taken away from her family, her life began.
Her name immediatley was changed to Rose which she adored greatly. The woman had another cat, a tom just like her. For a while, things were fine in the house. The tom, a cat named Southpoint's "Goldstar" which was given the name Yeller. Apparently, as Yeller said, it came from a book. If Rose knew what it was, she'd answer that fact. Both got along fine until Rose hit her twelth moon. Her first year in life and suddenly Yeller became cruel. He demanded things of her like moving from her favorite sunspot or giving up her toys. He was just in general the opposite of what she knew. Unable to take it for long, Rose finally attacked. This only landed her in great trouble. Her owner saw something vicious in Rose and took her away to a different place. A place filled with cats.
In and out she would be. She'd be in a house for a short while but her temperment got the best of her for a while. She never did understand Yeller and so she gave her new owners trouble every time. She was unhappy there and made it clear. At the age of seventeen moons, she was settled in her cage with little to do but stare out. Her cage was opened for food and then there was a shriek across the room. A tom had left his cage. New courage built up in her as she followed suit.
Her first time being free in ages, she realized she was a loner now. For a while, she traveled with this tom. Long-limbed and colored black-and-white, he said his name was Spider. The nature to him attracted her instantly. Rose found that he was easy to love. It was well for ten moons. She was going to tell him the news until he announced he was returning to his Nofurs. Rose pleaded that he stayed. But it was in vain since she knew deep down he was a real kittypet.
Off she went with the news on her shoulders. How could he have forgotten he had made her his mate? That was the question rumbling in her head. It was only a couple moons before she traveled a far distance away from the place Spider went too. It was also the place her kits were born. She was twenty-nine moons then. There were two of them. She named them Darkness and Leaf. Darkness looked like his father. Leaf looked like her. Rose settled in a life of a loner well and knew how to hunt with ease. She worked on her talents in her free time but her talents were put on hold slightly with kits.
Darkness was old enough to wander one day. Rose had not been close enough to see him walk off. All she heard was a terrified wail from a short distance off. Her paws threw her forward in a dash. But before her was a golden tabby tom with his fangs locked around Darkness' throat. Rose watched in horror as the tom merely dropped the kit like bad-tasting prey and walked off.
Rose was shrouded in sorrow then. Leaf was all she had left. She took the kit with her as she traveled onward. How long they traveled was not nearly as close to how it felt like. They finally came across a Clan that was named SkyClan. It was here that Rose pleaded that they be accepted. Leaf was too young to continue this life and she just wanted a place to be. Unwillingly accepted, Rose was called Rosepetal and Leaf was called Leafkit.
While on a patrol, away from Leafkit for only a short time, she came across a dusty colored loner. She knew who it was and she also knew she'd have to find Spider. So she bounded off despite her kit in the camp. All the way to the old Nofur's home she ran with no show of stopping. In a sunrise of nonstop running, she found him. Spider was older now but he showed no sign of knowing what had happened between them. Rosepetal merely told the tale and never corrected him when he called her 'Rose.' She wasn't going to tell him she was involved in a Clan. He seemed to realize that she had a deep hurt in her but he did not ask. Away she went again, back to her Clan.
Scolded heavily, she simply returned to her kit. Time flew by after that. Leafkit became Leafpaw and grew to be a fine cat. Her hurt slowly melded together into everyday life and she settled with the unhappiness. She tried to keep stepping forward but it was with her daughter's help that she managed to keep going. Leafpaw earned her warrior name of Leafstorm for her personality. She took it after neither parent but that makes her quite the individual. For Rosepetal, looking towards the new day, to watch her daughter live her own life, is enough to keep her paws going on. But her love for Spider died along with the cat she was. Rose.
