Description: Periwinkle is a big, black cat. Her fur is short and soft. She has large ears and a long tail. Her paws are monstrous. There are black pads underneath them. She has yellow-green eyes that are always wide open and wild-looking. She has long legs and is really tall. Her pelt has no other markings other than being solid black, except for a very small patch of very dark brown on her side, almost on her belly, that she makes sure everyone notices. Her nose and whiskers are all black as well. She still has her bright blue Twoleg collar on from her kittypet days. She isn't slender, she's just very scrawny from not eating much.
Residence She lives on the outskirts of Twolegplace, not quite in ThunderClan territory, but not technically in Twolegplace, on an abandoned old shack.
Personality: A word the first comes to mind when Periwinkle is brought up might be strange. She is very possibly one of the strangest cats in all of Twolegplace and the forest combined. She is a good follower but a horrible leader. She gets the oddest ideas (most of them stupid or pointless). She's very superstitious (one of them is touching the ground as little as possible). She does as she's told, but tries to give advice. Most of her advice includes killing a certain type of animal, such as a mouse, or climbing a certain type of tree. She's very random, too, and has a very short attention span, unless she's really concentrating. Simple things, such as butterflies or the sun, intrigues her, and she can be spotted staring at something for hours. If you interrupt her so-called "staring time", she's very likely to lash out at you with her claws. She hates being touched (don't even try it, you might lose your tail!). She tends to talk very fast and a lot at time, but she is also wary and cautious of any new cats she meets. But she has to admit that she's getting lonely from moons of solitude.
History: As a kit, Periwinkle seemed normal enough. She lived with her housefolk and older sister, Polkadot. At about the age of six moons, though, she started doing strange things. She started to go outside less often, and when she went outside, she made a point of not touching the ground. After a moon or so of this, Polkadot became worried about her.
"What's wrong with you?" she asked one day, when Periwinkle was seemingly not doing anything except staring at a beetle. It was the short period of the day when the young she-cat went outside.
"Nothing!" Periwinkle very nearly yowled, and flung herself at her sister. "Leavemealone!" she said, talking quickly.
After that, Polkadot minded her own business. Her housefolk wondered where she'd gotten the stratches from, of course, but how could Twolegs understand?
One day, the oldest female Twolegs was feeding Periwinkle and Polkadot, and Periwinkle randomly, out of nowhere, attacked her sister, even leaving the safety of the couch to jump on her. The Twoleg immediately threw Periwinkle outside, and wouldn't let her back in.
So, the housefolk had already been packing up their Twolegs objects in big, brown hollow things and one day a huge monster came, even bigger than the usual ones. They put all the hollow brown things in it, then climbed in their own monster, Polkadot smirking at Periwinkle through the bars of her carrier which the female Twoleg held. "Good bye, sister!" she called out, and then they were all gone.
Periwinkle waited a few days for them to come back, but they never did. She went off on her own, mumbling to herself the whole time and never, ever touching the ground with more than one paw. Her collar annoyed her, of course, and eventually the got the tags that included her housefolk's names and old phone number to fall off. She left the collar on, though.
She looked for new housefolk for a short while, but soon grew bored of that. Eventually all there was for her to do was wander and stare at things and not touch the ground. She became very closed off and cautious and refused to let anyone find out anything about her. She found the old abandoned Twoleg shack when she was about 25 moons old and made her home on top of it, not even going inside when it rained. She gets her food from stealing from kittypets and the occasional bird or squirrel that can't get away from the tree fast enough, and makes her living just sitting there or wandering most of the time.
Roleplay example: London bridge is falling down, falling down, falling down! London Bridge is falling down, my fair lady!
Other: Her housefolk had a young kit that watched Blue's Clues all the time, so she named Periwinkle Periwinkle, even though she's black and not blue/purple/gray.
