LARGE, FLUFFY WHITE TOM WITH BLACK PAWS, GREY EYES AND HALF A TAIL / TOYHOUSE
— mallowlark's appearance is that of a rather atypical cat; his fur is purely ivory, save for black paws which appear as if he is wearing ink-dipped mittens, and stray ebony hairs. it is rare not to find a saccharine and almost empty smile comfortably set upon his lips, and his bouncy walk and general demeanour suggest a staunch optimist. his grin is decorated with teeth as sharp as dogs', both threatening and bright- the ultimate oxymoron. silver eyes occupy his features- though they do not crease with his smile, remaining owlishly wide, and seldom show life behind them. it is rare that he breaks eye-contact, and his attention moves unnervingly quickly. he is bulky and muscular, and often makes motions with his half-tail, forgetting it is not the length it once was.
↳ suffers with psuedobulbar affect, commonly resulting in bouts of inappropriate hysterical laughter.↳ his smile never, ever flinches- and his eyes are almost always perfectly round and unblinking. -

BEFORE THE CLANS
mallow and his sister echo were born to sunshine on the moorland. their father was a fickle kittypet who refused to be a part of their life, and thus mallow and echo were raised by sunshine, her three sisters and her friend heavy snow. learning the moorland like the back of his paw, mallow formed a heavy attachment to his home and could not imagine leaving it, even when he lost half his tail to a fox attack. living far from the conflict between the marsh and pine groups, though unaware of the clans forming right under their noses, it was quite a surprise when the family heard of a group named 'windclan' taking permanent residence in their home.
in order to avoid conflict and (perceptively) keep control of their home, mallow voted in favour to join windclan, believing there were plenty of new friends in the midst.

► SUNSHINE, LOLLIPOPS AND RAINBOWS lenka
this is basically how he sees the world- just brilliant all the time no matter what happens.
► POLLYANNA earthbound ;
mallow is shockingly naive to negative emotions. but he doesn't care. he loves being an optimist- revels in it.
► I'M A PRINCESS bill wurtz ;
the moors are his ancestral home, and are poisoned. he believes that one day, windclan will destroy itself. it made leaving a little bit easier- he'd already come to terms with everyone there dying anyway. karma will come.
► RULER OF EVERYTHING tally hall ;
mallow believes that time and death are to be revered- he respects them greatly. adores them, even. maybe a bit too much.
► BLACK MIRROR arcade fire ;
it’s no secret mallow has some gory interests. bones are fascinating, remains are to be creatively used and imagining extreme and almost cartoonish violence is funny.
► WELL RESTED kero kero bonito ;
from dawnglare's wisdom, his beliefs in the natural order have been bolstered- nature personified is to be cared for as the ruler of all.
► MARZ john grant ;
a dreamy song about something very normal. mallowlark and dawnglare's meetings beneath the moon were sacred, his head full of a million metaphor- and now he gets to live a dream every day.
► SMILE nat king cole ;
mallowlark always smiles because of his mother. everyone likes her- she's friendly and kind and sweet, so if he mimics her expression tenfold, people will like him, right? he is genuinely happy most of the time, but even when he isn't he smiles anyway, because he knows he'll always be happy again.
