—— tadpolepaw is a high-fashion supermodel of the feline world: to be striking is the goal, not beautiful. on first glance, one would surely hesitate to describe his features as "beautiful". they are at parts too big, at others too small. like his breed standard, they have a thin, tucked body with a whip-like tail and a long nose to squint down. he's still growing into his ears and paws, both slightly too wide for comfort, making passersby faintly wonder if they'd ever fall off. ears hang batlike at the corners of his triangular head, their interiors lined with a countable number of sensitive black hairs.

yet, the more one looks at them, the prettier he gets. his ebony coat is sleek and shiny with little effort, glinting through what mud and leaf litter begin to clutter their coat. caught in sunlight, moonlight, or just a few droplets of rain, the feline appears to be a marvel of shining obsidian stone, though just as brittle. warrior training lays on his gangly limbs streamlined muscle, never enough to be the biggest in the crowd nor even intimidating, but enough to admire beneath their close-cropped coat. tadpolepaw's brilliant eyes are shaded with thick, dark lashes, dyeing them in two-tone lush shadow and warm sunlight. they glint crystalline beneath summer skies and chilled grey beneath others, scattered with pollen-bright yellow in between. they're mesmerizing, twin kailedescopes embedded in his skull, and it's difficult to pinpoint exactly what color they may be between given moments.

—— one will immediately find they're relatively laid-back for a clan cat, harkening to their hidden kittypet background of being content to sleep and stare out his window all day. because they've practically had no responsibilities for the entire first half-year of his life, he's developed various "hobbies," chief of which is puzzling out natural phenomena in his mind. why do trees and flowers both have leaves, but only one has bark? is bark the same thing as a stem, just older and wiser? what makes the sun come up every day? she's content to observe their clanmates in this way as well. having been inadequately socialized early on, he's not quite used to the constant presence of so many other cats, nor is he accustomed to all their various behaviors and quirks. tadpolepaw may come off as a bit nervous or unsure of themself when he speaks, as though hesitantly laying a piece on a chessboard. he can puzzle out the theory to conversation, but actually executing it is a different story, he finds.

even so, tadpolepaw is arguably one of the most "normal" members of shadowclan. she's not intimidating nor overly shy, just strange-looking relative to moggies. they are bewildered by the right things and fish out humor at the right times, making him easy to get along with but not a force of charisma. born an outsider to the clans, tad has a difficult time defining clear-cut boundaries between shadowclan and others. he lacks the protective, black-and-white mentality of some clan cats; some may say he isn't truly devoted to his clan because she strives to see both sides of a conflict. he is never the first to volunteer for the dawn patrol, and sometimes in his apprenticeship a warrior would have to drag them out of bed for it. he savors his creature comforts, such as hogging their favorite kind of prey (toads) or basking in the sunshine on a flat stone. tad has little sense of duty, only tiresome obligation, but he shapes up it all the same because otherwise they'll be kicked out. also, he's grown attached to some shadowclanners, and though he doesn't know if she'll be missed, they'd certainly miss them.

wip. intelligence and impulsiveness, he wants many things and takes what he wants.
important notes: n/a
disorders/mental illnesses: n/a

iv. relationships ↪ ❝ and never sees the other side ❞ :*.+
╰ npc x npc | claimed to be ferndance's son | siblings unknown
.:*・ pansexual / panromantic | single, not particularly looking due to age
.:*・ [0] crushes / [1] "maybe" crushes | ½ ⅓ ¼ ⅕ ⅛
.:*・ no previous relationships | monogamous | 3 on kinsey scale
.:*・ rules of engagement: tba
.:*・ considers no one friends | considers no one enemies

v. interaction ↪ ❝ unsteadiness belies your tender years ❞ :*.+
╰ PHYSICALLY EASY / PSYCHOLOGICALLY EASY
.:*・ will not start fights | will end fights | will not kill
.:*・ mentored by needledrift | mentoring no one
notes: tad is very technical in everything he does. they learn slowly, through a painstaking process, and fumbles out of nervousness just as often as plain fault. her movements, in hunting and in fighting, are precise and quick, but he isn't the quickest, and he definitely isn't the strongest.
STRENGTH: ☆☆☆☆☆ | STAMINA: ☆☆☆☆☆ | AGILITY: ☆☆☆☆☆ | SPEED: ☆☆☆☆☆
HUNTING: ☆☆☆☆☆ | SWIMMING: ★☆☆☆☆ | CLIMBING: ☆☆☆☆☆ | GRACE: ★★★★☆
.:*・ feel free to powerplay peaceful or nonviolent actions | attack in underline or bolded #849c5f

vi. miscellaneous ↪ ❝ with real world problems, and real world fears ❞ :*.+
╰ AU I. HUMAN
.:*・ definitely not named loki because their parents love them, maybe logan or a gender neutral name that starts with "l". lonely little rich kid. indian-norwegian. wip
╰ AU II. POKEMON
.:*・ dark or normal type, preferably both (4x weak to fighting baby) but off the top of my head while writing this i can't think of a dark-normal pokemon. if they're a trainer they definitely concentrate in dark and normal types. wip
—— fun facts: as a purebred oriental shorthair, he cost around 1,000 USD for her owner when he was a kittypet.
