Short Description: A she-cat warrior with a dark brown pelt and green eyes.
Appearance:
Nettleleaf's pelt, as her name suggests, is a glossy dark brown. It is so dark in fact, to be confused for black in shadow and shade, and at night. Through out her training as an apprentice and experience as a warrior she has learned to use that color as camouflage. She is larger than the average cats in her clan, as well as her brother, but not so much as to be considered huge. Because of this size her frame holds more muscle than someone smaller, but this makes her slower and clumsy. Her size has also rendered her slightly stocky. Nettleleaf's eyes are green, just as her brothers are, but hers are a less muted color. All in all she's pretty enough, just not that graceful about it.Personality:
((Sorry about the yellow eyes in the picture, I couldn't find one with green.))
Nettleleaf has, in the past, been known to put things up on a pedestal. She is not naive in the sense that she does not realize that those things she admires cannot possibly be quite as good as she expects them to be, though she does believe the best of things. Nettleleaf, by admiring those around her, seems to think less of herself. She compares her own abilities, to those better than her, and those not as good. Consequently, when she is surrounded by people better than herself, whom she holds in some respect, she thinks less of her own abilities, but when with those she is superior in rank or age to, she is more confident.History:
Though Nettleleaf's self-esteem is rather in flux, she has learned, in her own time, that she can always change, if she finds something 'wrong' about her self she can always 'fix' it. Doing this has proven to be a bit harder for her than she thought.
She is far more naive than most cats her age, though she is also far more hopeful. She automatically believes the best in people, and because of that she easily helps to keep morale up in trying times. Her heart is good.
Nettleleaf and her brother Larchthorn have always been close since they were kits, and Nettleleaf looks up to him even though she was born first. The closeness between the two siblings has effected both of them, but Larchthorn's stubborn personality rubbed off more on Nettleleaf than he hope rubbed off on him. Because of this relationship she does hold the tendency to criticize cats more than she should.
All in all, Nettleleaf's hope for the future, and willingness to try and do something better make her a good person, her fluctuating self-esteem and criticism of others can seem a little harsh. She is a good cat, she just needs to learn that.
Nettleleaf had by far, the least eventful kithood and apprenticeship of her siblings. With Seedkit's death from sickness and Larchthorn's eventual apprenticeship to the medicine cat as a result, her life seems simpler. Nettleleaf was born as Nettlekit, the oldest of the three siblings, to two Thicketclan warriors. In her youth she was quieter than her more vocal brother, but they were very friendly just the same. She grew up very loyal to the clan, and wished to be a warrior from the beginning, with little or no wish to be a queen. She was apprenticed as is everyone and made a warrior without anything big happening. And she took the warrior name Nettleleaf becuase of her green eyes.IC:

I wish I'd been this detailed with Larchthorn's personality.
