Small . Thin . Grey . White Chest & Paws . Medium-Length Fur . Golden Eyes

Much like her mother, Adderkit is a small, grey she-cat with sharp golden eyes. Her fur is caught somewhere between long and short, just long enough to be fluffy but not so much that it's shaggy or easily-tangled. Unlike Helen's fur, Adderkit's is soft and well-groomed, though that is at least partly because it's yet to grow long enough to become too messy. Snaketail's genes make themselves obvious in her long, snake-like tail (which, in combination with her dark grey pelt, was responsible for her name) and her white chin, chest, and paws. Adderkit's paw pads are all soft and pink, but her soft little paws hide thorn-sharp claws. Slightly thin thanks to being weaned early, she's a delicate-looking thing, but she'll grow yet. All she needs is food and time.

Fierce . Ambitious . Proud . Quiet . Urbane

With the fierceness and quick reflexes of a poisonous snake, Adderkit lives up to her name... Well, that's how she likes to see it. She is extremely fierce when it comes to play fighting, but she tries to go easy on any other kits. And although she's not exactly the biggest or the strongest, she's got a killer pounce. She always insists that her mother named her for her amazing skills, though in fact she was named for her appearance, just like any other kit. She hopes to be as strong and powerful, deadly and mysterious, as her namesake—which isn't going to be happening any time soon. As she's just a kit, the big world is quite overwhelming, and at times, she is at a loss for words. With her wild spirit, you would think she would just talk away, all day and night. However, Adderkit is usually quite and respectful to those higher up in the Clan rank than she is. But she shows no mercy to her sister, or any other kits in the nursery.

h i s t o r y .

Once upon a time there was a girl cat named Helen and boy cat called Snaketail, and they liked each other very much. In fact, they liked each other so much that they were willing to see each other secretly, for Snaketail's Clan would not approve if they found out about the she-cat whom he had taken as his mate. Eventually, Helen discovered that she was carrying kits, and after about a moon, she gave birth in the barn where she lived. However, something went wrong; Helen's nephews went to find Snaketail and tell him, but by the time the toms all returned, Helen was near death from blood loss. She succeeded in birthing two daughters, and died telling Snaketail about another kit she had once had. So with no mother to care for his children, the warrior made the decision to take the kits back to his Clan. There, they were adopted by a young mother who recently gave birth to her first litter.

A moon and a half after they were adopted into ShadowClan, Adderkit's adopted siblings, Frostkit and Spiderkit, ventured out of camp to hunt in secret. They succeeded in capturing a rat from carrionplace, but Spiderkit was bitten, and succumbed to disease within days. Of the five kits that Poppyfrost birthed, one had been stillborn, one had died early in kithood, and a third was now dead of rat-borne illness. But it would matter little to her, for Poppyfrost died of the same illness soon after, sickened by cleaning plagued blood from her unruly kittens' fur. Once again Adderkit and Ivykit were left motherless, although this time with two adopted sisters left in the same state. It was slightly early for the younger kits to be weaned, but they had little choice, and went solely onto solid prey about a quarter-moon early. Although Adderkit is a bit thin at the moment, both kits have managed to pull through without wasting away or catching sick.
