Personality (Overall): Minnowcreek is a charismatic she-cat that loves socializing and befriending those around her. Her lively personality compliments her outgoing behavior wonderfully. The unpredictability of her actions as well as her amusing behavior often draws others to her quickly. Minnowcreek prides herself on being able to lighten the mood, as well as being a proud molly of where she comes from and her clan itself. However, Minnowcreek can often be a little too assertive in situations where she is trying to get what she wants, or she thinks she can benefit the clan by doing so. Implusive decisions lead to reckless behavior and if she does not receive or achieve the results she wants, her impatience gets the better of her and she grows bitter over it.

The bitterness doesn't stay around long, forgotten in a moments notice when something else attracts her attention and causes her impulsivity to strike once more. She oftentimes does not linger and can quite forgetful of those around her. Her way of coping with many situations is to simply forget them, to think they never existed in the beginning. Truly, this molly could forget you wronged her for the sake of keeping the peace in the clan. But don't mistake this for forgiveness, she simply just does not want to deal with the situation and her form of escapism is simply to forget and move forward.

Born to Spottedice and Paintedmask, Minnowkit was not what her parents were expecting when they birthed three kits. Being the youngest of the three by mere minutes, she was by far the smallest kit of the litter. Heronkit dwarfed her in size immediately, while Newtkit was inbetween the both of them in size. She was named Minnowkit for her small size, although her size seemed to displease her parents. They wanted strong and large kits that were healthy. By all means, Minnowkit was healthy from birth onward, but her size did not match what her parents had wanted.

Although her size had displeased them at first, Minnowkit had a relatively normal kithood. She became close with both of her brothers, going on walks with her parents to know all about the territory and StellarClan. She was a rambuctious young kit, always making sure to play roughly with each of her siblings. Due to her small size, she was not much of a contender for either of her larger brothers, but they would still entertain the small she-kit with play. They were her best friends, and she loved each of them dearly.

They soon became apprentices, being named Heronpaw, Newtpaw and Minnowpaw respectively. She was given Ripplingtide as her mentor. The tom was small much like she was, and had the same set of skills that Minnowpaw had in order to train. Her brothers had seemed excited, but she could barely contain her excitement as she vibrated in place at the idea of being able to finally train to become a warrior. Ripplingtide would be welcoming to the young molly, the older warrior giving the molly a run for her prey as he made training hard and practiced endurance and agility with Minnowpaw. He had always told her that she needed to use her smaller size to her advantage because if she did not, she would be immediately overpowered by anyone larger than her.

Ripplingtide was hard on his apprentice, giving Minnowpaw many tasks to complete whenever they went out training and hunting. He stated that this would help her become a better warrior, especially with how small she was. She grew a fondness for her mentor, seeing as he seemed to understand her struggle unlike others. Ripplingtide became someone she looked up to and held dearly.

When she was ten moons old, a harsh leaf bare swept through the territory, scarcity of prey led to sickness but that is not what caused Newtpaw's sickness. Her brother always had a rather hard time breathing after training sessions and when the cold hit, he fell extremely ill and was kept in the medicine cat's den for six days. But, that would be the last time that Minnowpaw would see her brother alive on the fifth night. She had come to visit him, bringing his favorite prey. Heronpaw had been there when Newtpaw had passed, but she had not.

She guilted herself, saying that she hadn't been there with her brother. Ripplingtide would do regular routine practice for her training but she would push herself harder, aggressively training and wearing herself out. While Ripplingtide initially took this as her wanting to become better, he became concerned as she started to exhaust herself from being far too aggressive in her training. Her recklessness only made things harder for her as she kept injuring herself. During one hunting sessions she chose to partake by herself without anyone knowing, she had a snake bite her on the paw. She had gone running to the medicine cat, dripping blood. But thankfully, it was not venomous and she was fine after having it patched up.

Soon, they became warriors. Minnowpaw becoming Minnowcreek and Heronpaw becoming Heronreed. The emptiness where Newtpaw should have been was loud. But they would move on, as was needed of them. Their first encounter in warriorhood was on an outing with family and friends. They were all enjoying themselves, hunting and talking with laughter in the air as they spoke. Ripplingtide had not been able to make it as he had gotten sick but Breezeflight - Heronreeds' mentor - was able to come along with them.

They had all separated, all going hunting in different directions when there was a loud cry. And then the calling for family from a sickeningly familiar voice. Minnowcreek got there in time to see her brother fatally wounded and Breezeflight was already on the ground, having been in the fox's jaws. As Heronreed fell, she was the first to charge in recklessly, screeching as she dug her claws into the fox and her family was able to come help her. That was enough to chase the fox away. They were able to bet Heronreed home alive, but Breezeflight would pass away quickly from her wounds. If only she had been there quicker is what she kept telling herself. She seemed to never show up at the right place in the right time.

Heronreed was in the medicine den for moons. Minnowcreek would go and visit him but she was given an apprentice only a couple moons after the incident. Albatrosspaw was a young fully deaf white cat. While he could not hear, he had still survived to apprenticeship and although their leader was against the idea, went with their wishes in becoming an apprentice. It was a challenge in the very least for Minnowcreek, but she realized that Albatrosspaw could still feel vibrations and could still scent and track with their eyes. It would just simply be a little more challenging for them to be more aware of their surroundings.

Minnowcreek would work to provide every single way that Albatrosspaw could keep vigilant while still focusing on other things. She taught them how to differentiate the running of cats feet on the ground, and how to keep aware of their surroundings even when consumed by battle. They were still at a slight disadvantage if another were to understand that they were deaf and use that against them, but they had a fast reaction time and their mentor had made sure of it. Albatrosspaw soon became Albatrossflight after ten moons of training - taking longer to become a warrior due to the apprentice's disability.

Heronreed had fully recovered at this time, gaining his own apprentice by the name of Ospreypaw. Minnowcreek would work relentlessly, training herself and always helping Albatrossflight if they ever needed anything. She would still work with them on their skills, learning in every way to help them improve even further and become a better warrior. The tenacity between the two of them fueled the need to do better and Albatrossflight was happy to say the least.

Minnowcreek would take on yet another apprentice a few moons later. It was the granddaughter of her mentor, Ripplingtide. Gladioluspaw was a little ray of sunshine. She was not as hard working Ripplingtide, so when Gladioluspaw complained that Minnowcreek was working her too hard, Minnowcreek realized she didn't need to push so hard, and learned how to balance work with play. While teaching Gladioluspaw how to be a warrior, Gladioluspaw showed Minnowcreek that there was more outside of life than working for the clan. There was fun to be had. Minnowcreek would start opening up to her clanmates, learning how to talk and mingle with them and greatly enjoying it. Gladioluspaw would become Gladioluslight, earning her name for being a wonderful ray of sunshine within the clan that was always welcomed - and sometimes needed.
