long-haired, lilac rosetted tabby with pale green eyes / reference
dustpaw has a soft look to her, with feathery fur rounding her edges and a lithe frame beneath it — although she's more scraggly at the moment due to severe under-eating, her cheeks sunken and her pale, mossy green eyes hollow. her coat is particularly pale for a shadowclanner: a lilac hue that lightens on her muzzle and underside, dappled with thick rosettes that are distinct but don't contrast too much with the base shade. her grooming is often haphazard at best, so her fur tends to look fairly ruffled; between that and her jutting bones, she's certainly not at her most presentable these days. in fact, she appears to be a bit of a mess.
↳ though she smiles frequently while talking, she tends to have a resting sad face. -

(+) affectionate, optimistic, genial, supportive (/) hedonistic, self-sacrificing, anxious (-) impulsive, clingy, avoidant. for all she's suffered, dustpaw refuses to let herself grow embittered; she's an optimist to an almost stubborn degree, desperately looking for any silver lining or some guiding light lest she spiral and sink into despair. rarely is she found inactive, quiet, or alone in an effort to stave off this unfavorable end, always preferring to chase away her anxieties and stressful memories with any distraction she can manage — so long as it's entertaining, preferably. she's something of a hedonist at heart, often torn between shirking her duties in favor of more pleasurable activities as a means of self-care and guiltily wanting to work hard for the sake of her struggling clan — especially pitchstar and starlingheart, who she feels deeply sorry for on account of their demanding positions. though (and because) she doesn't envy them, she often winds up comparing herself to them and berating herself for her self-indulgent impulses; how dare she even think about cutting corners and dishonoring the burden her siblings carry, disrespecting the clan they (and her mother) put so much effort into fostering? how dare she regard her own struggles with any weight when her siblings bear so many more? she's always been naturally affectionate, but this guilt combined with lingering grief over her mother's passing and shadowclan's current, desolate state has morphed affection into borderline clinginess; she loves her family deeply and never shies away from making it known, frequently shadowing them and checking in to make sure they're doing alright and feeling absolutely terrible when they aren't. it's become her mission of sorts to keep them all happy, and she bends over backwards in her efforts to do so, eagerly stretching herself thin for the sake of their well-being and ignoring her own all the while. this emotional devotion freely extends to shadowclan as a whole, albeit to a lesser degree; dustpaw's happy to take on the task of lightening everyone's moods as best as she can, always doing her best to avoid tension and ensure that everyone's having at least a decent time, both for the sake of her own ease as well as everyone's happiness. she has a lot of love to give to everyone around her if they're willing to receive it (or not, if they're her family; she'll aggressively give regardless), and can only hope that the more she does for them, the closer she'll come to deserving some herself.
