putting this out here, but I have yet to get the okay on this design on whether or not the color scheme does indeed fit a black tabby. I haven't decided on the stripe pattern yet so I am open to suggestions in order to add to her current design mock up. I am leaning towards ticked tabby, but again not too sure. otherwise the general idea of how she would appear has been included.

Mudcatcher is a gloomy, passive, and soft-spoken molly who believes herself to be a coward. Mudcatcher speaks very little and it is not done out of malice. Her lack of words are an act of distancing herself from her emotions and an attempt to distance herself from others as well. This is due to her turmotulous past. Despite not being a very talkative sort, she tends to speak only when necessary. Puzzling perhaps to others as she has no qualms following her duties as a tunneler which is constant communication within pairs to ensure survival, one would think she was a friendly sort. A molly who would be fairly easy to become friends with, and yet she scarcely opens her heart to others. When the topic is anything non work related, it's as if she is a frightened bunny, seconds away from running.

Her thoughts are often a mystery to others as a result. Even simple things of such as what prey she enjoys to eat are unknown. It does not help that she tends to try and find a lonely corner when eating. It can be mistaken as

Despite her quiet demeanor, she is exceptionally loyal, caring, good natured, and kind. It is most difficult for moor runners to see, as she doesn't interact with them all to often. They can not see how, even though she fears becoming close to another, within the darkness she will never abandon her partner. She will try everything in her power to bring her partner back to camp, even if it means sustaining some injuries herself. At the moment her greatest terrors of becoming close to another vanish, her concern is solely of her partner. She has no qualms with comforting them and becoming a little open, however after the moment has passed she will carry on about life as if it hasn't happened. Unless... She is confronted about it.

Even if a cat she is paired with is a bit of a bully, she bears no ill will. It certainly effects her, as she puts on a more emotionally repressed and mature front in order to combat her fears. She refuses to stoop to the level of her tormentors, even if it means she will have to endure in silence. There is a reason why she does not speak for herself and that is because she is aware of her position as a former barn cat. It wasn't too long ago that she joined Windclan. She is still very much the "new molly" within the tunnelers and understands that she must be careful. She doesn't have the same standing as the others who were born within Windclan, or those who have been within the clans for many moons. It is best to not stand up for herself. She will not retaliate.

Those who watch with careful eyes will see that her character shines in subtleties. While she may not be the most talkative, she will bring those she cares for their favorite prey from the freshkill pile if available. She will also help with fixing nests with softer bedding if her friends and even those who don't like her have mentioned it. She will fulfill their orders and demands, however it may do her some good to reject them in order to care for herself every once and awhile.
