appearance,

Unlike most full grown cats Rainpatch is small. It works to her advantage though. It means those short legs of her have to carry less weight which makes it better for her to fight. Her teeth are terribly sharp though and her claws aren't the best things in the world but can deal some damage. At times, she seems like a cheetah cub.

Her eyes are amber and seem to have no emotions contained in them but if you look hard enough you can see them. The nose on Rainpatch's face is dainty and black. It seems to be one of the few feminine things about her. Their is a white streak on the left of her nose that goes to her belly. It somewhat curls around to get there, covering some parts of her legs.

Her pelt is dark gray, almost black. She seems flawless but she has two scars to show she isn't. They are located on her left hind leg and you can see it at any time. It's one of the many battle scars she has but the others are not as well seen.

personality,

Opinionated and strong-willed, Rainpatch can sometimes be difficult to get along with. She's very passionate about the things she does and if you argue with her you best be ready for a good debate. She doesn't take them that seriously but if she has to she will.With a blunt attitude, Rainpatch will not take anything from anyone, and expects respect for her to give respect. She’s an honest cat and can be counted on when needed,

Though if you can get past that stuff and befriend her,she can be a very loyal cat. She’s a very sarcastic cat which does get on some cat’s nerves. If you were to hurt a friend of her or her clan you should watch your back though. Keeping calm in a situation is a specialty of Rainpatch’s. It’s rather hard for her to lighten up though, since she feels she has to be doing something at all times.

To other cats outside of her clan she can act a little mean but it's only because she doesn't want them to think of her clan as inferior. To her clan mates she is like a queen caring for her kits. She doesn't baby them. Far from that she puts 'Tough Love' into a new perspective. Rainpatch doesn't treat them that harshly but if they do something she thinks wrong/unneeded/or puts everyone in danger she isn't afraid to give out her worst. That large brain of hers doesn't hold just wisdom, but a clever persona as well.

history,

Kithood
Rainkit was born to Arrowtail and Shootingblaze. They both grew up in Shadeclan as the best of friends and simply became mates. Many of the cats weren’t truly surprised when Shootingblaze announced that she was pregnant. Now this is where Rainkit’s story starts. When she was born she came as a bit of a surprise. She had her fathers dark gray fur, but also a white patch from her mother. Graykit was a mix of the two while Whitekit looked exactly like their mother. Many cats were slightly surprised when she earned her mothers amber eyes instead of the icy blue eyes of her father. They loved her none the less, more so her father, for he finally had someone who looked a bit like him. Most of his family had already left to join starclan. The group of kits were fairly interesting though. There was loud and rambunctious Graykit who could be counted on for a good time. Whitekit was a bit on the mean side, but he was also the most daring of them all. Then there was quiet and calculating Rainkit. They had their share of troubles, although they never left the den. Their mother was no joke and commanded respect from them.

Apprenticeship
When six moons came along, Rainkit finally became Rainpaw. Her mentor was Frostedleaf, who she got along with rather well. After a while, her mentor started to notice how incredibley talented she was at fighting, although her hunting skills were mediocre at best. Rainpaw looked to her father for most of her advice as she grew. They were fairly close. Her brothers were closer to her mother which is why it hurt them the most when she died. For a while, Graykit was in a bit of a depression. He was the closest to Shootingblaze. They continued on with their training, but her death still weighed down on them.

Warrior times
After many moons spent practicing, Rainpaw earned the name of Rainpatch, for her beautiful pelt. One day when Rainpatch was only 27 moons old She was hunting with her father, a normal thing actually. Another cat came along as well. They were just strolling and enjoying the scenery, in a way having a silent talk about nature. Then they smelled the faint scent of a fox.

It wasn't really new but it was new enough for the fox to be in the area. The other cat ran back for help while she and her father scouted ahead. They soon came upon it's make-shift den and realized they were in over there heads. There was a pregnant female and male. Her father signaled to walk silently away but ended up making just enough noise for the male to wake up. It spotted them and attacked Rainpatch who was the closest. Her father jumped on the fox, but not before the vile creature gave Rainpatch the visible scar she has now.The female woke up and started to attack as well. Luckily some warriors burst through the undergrowth and attacked. They soon drove away the foxes and got her father back to the medicine cat.

That was the day her father died and she thought she caused it. The only reason she got through it all was because Grayclaw was there for her. He was the cat who helped her get back up on her feet. A few moons later she got an apprentice by the name of Dawnpaw. In a way this helped her cope with her loss. Rainpatch taught Dawnpaw everything she knew and was lucky enough to see her apprentice be given her warrior name, Dawncloud. That was when she was 37 moons.

The transition from Warrior to Deputy
Well it turns out that fate hadn't doomed her to a rather bad destiny. As Rainpatch aged she learned many things about life. During a battle a few months ago, the old deputy was killed. Out of all the cats that could have been chosen, Rainpatch was the lucky one. She hasn‘t been met with much oposition about her new job as deputy, but nothing has truly happened to test her skills in leading the clan just yet.
