Name: Bluestorm (Bluekit -> Bluepaw -> Bluestorm)
Name Origin: "Blue" for her fur, "storm" for her dynamic and impatient nature.
Clan/Status: WindClan deputy
Age: 84 moons
Gender:
Female
Sexual/Romantic Orientation: Homosexual homoromantic
Appearance: Bluestorm is small in stature. Her legs are short, and she is stocky. Her body is well-muscled, but she is also fat so she has little muscle definition. Her eyes are round, and dark yellow in color. Her muzzle and other extremities are grey with age. Her tail tip has been white from birth. The rest of her pelt is a dark grey color.
Personality:
Bluestorm is a gruff, motherly sort. With most stuff, she's been there, done that. Except for romantic relationships, she's clueless and slightly disdainful towards those. Unless you're her friend, she tends to treat you slightly condescendingly, as if you were her kit. She does think of the whole clan as her kit, however.
She takes her responsibility very, very seriously. She sometimes forgets herself and slips in micromanaging others lives, but she has enough respect for others boundaries that she can be told to back off. She tries to cram too much work and worry into each day, and is frequently reigned in by those close to her so that she doesn't burn herself out. She knows she must be healthy and well rested as the clan deputy, but her worries about the safety of her clan drive her to excessive work.
She has a strong temper; often reading insults or otherwise rude or malicious intent in innocent things others say or do, and it quick to defend herself or others against perceived social threats. On the flipside of this, she is the cat you want with you on your side. She is adamant about any opinion or cause she defends.
She tries to defend her loved ones so they do not have to defend themselves. She is is very wary of outsiders, and has had few friends from other clans in her lifetime. She doesn't see outsiders as immoral monsters, but with age comes experience, and her experience has taught her that outsiders are nothing but trouble for her clan.
Bluestorm tends to nitpick most of everything, especially when it comes to things that are Clan business, such as how apprentices are trained or the borders are patrolled. She is aware of this and is trying to lighten up and listen to others ideas, but she finds it very hard.
She tries to appear formal at all times, and others may be intimidated by her gruff "all business" persona.
It's very important to her to be just and fair to everyone at all times. She often tries to play peacekeeper, but lacks the charisma to pull it off very often.
It's noteworthy that Bluestorm was assigned male at birth. (She's a trans woman- trans molly?*) She's comfortable with herself, and hopes to have children someday if her mate is cis, but hasn't confided this in anyone but her sister.
History:
Bluestorm was born to Stormleap (nonbinary warrior) and Foxstripe (cis queen). She and her sister, Morningpaw, were always close to each other.
It was a joke between them that one of them would become clan leader, and the other would then be stinky mouse dung. This faded as they grew into their warrior duties, with Morningpelt feeling more focused on her friendships in and out of the clan, and the mates she took. Bluestorm had her eyes fixed on authority. She felt the loyalty to the cats around her grow, and it pained her to see the fighting among the four clans. She wanted the ones close to her to be safe, and the best way for her to accomplish that was to become leader. She came out as female shortly after being given her warrior name.
Her first apprentice, Starlingpaw, was a handful. Even as an inexperienced warrior, Bluestripe had very clear ideas about how things should be done. Starlingpaw was fond of talking back and disobeying orders. Their early days together were mostly power struggles, until they both matured enough to be better teachers and students respectively. Bluestorm helped Starlingclaw realize his own gender.
Morningpelt took to the elders den after a ferocious storm left her front left paw permanently twisted. Their parents had long passed on. Bluestorm tended to Morningpelt with dutiful affection, until she took on deputy duties to her sister's delight. She then insisted Bluestorm let apprentices tend her as the other elders were tended. Bluestorm still visits her sister often.
Relationships:
Morningpelt - sister from the same litter as her. Alive, elder.
Stormleap and Foxstripe - parents, both deceased. Stormleap was drowned in a fight with RiverClan shortly after Bluestorm became a warrior. Foxstripe lived to be very old, and died from illness in the elder's den.
Starlingclaw - First apprentice. Alive, warrior.
Notes:
*Bluestorm won't actually call herself a trans women IC, as "woman" is a human term. If asked, she might say something like "Everyone thought I was a tom, but I knew better."
