NAME: Ivyclaw
AGE: 32 moons
RANK: deputy
GENDER: she-cat
CLAN: thunderclan
Ivyclaw is current deputy of ThunderClan. Her tabby fur is well-suited for the forest she calls home, and her amber eyes blend well with the undergrowth. She is a typical tabby; she has light brown fur with black lashes, a cream-colored chest, and white fore-paws. Her short fur provides little warmth in leaf-bare, but with the warm dens of ThunderClan's camp, she has little need for such a thick pelt.
As deputy, Ivyclaw is the perfect counterpart to Smokestar's harsh, sometimes unforgiving nature. Where he is strict, she is calm. Where he is rude, she is patient. Where he is unwise, she advises him to think before he acts. Where he is weak, she is strong. She has earned her position rightfully; her lean frame enables her to maneuver swiftly and easily through her Clan's dense forest, allowing her to catch her target -- fresh-kill or trespasser -- off guard. She earned her name from her quick instincts in battle; her fierce loyalty to her Clan leaves room for no weaknesses; no second-thoughts. She reacts on impulse in battle, which can often be her downfall. However, outside of battle, when she has time to think and process, she is very wise. She thinks before she acts and calculates the outcome of each action before she makes a final decision, sometimes spending more time than she should on the subject at hand - er, paw.
She seeks peace whenever possible, yet she knows this is not always a viable solution. She is fiercely dedicated to the well-being of her Clan, and any cat knows she would always put the safety of anyone before her own. While she is kind and generous beyond the capabilities of Smokestar, she knows the limits of those attributes. She can be strict when the time calls for it; she gives second chances only once. Traitors will see no mercy in her eyes, only anger. If there is anything Ivyclaw cannot bear, it is a traitor who seeks her forgiveness. She values loyalty and honesty above all else, and she believes all those of ThunderClan should do the same.
Ivyclaw was born in the middle of winter into a litter of three kits: Ivykit, Bramblekit, and Brackenkit. Of the three kits, she was the only survivor. Her two brothers never made it past a quarter-moon. From the beginning, they knew she would go on to do great things for her Clan. She rose to become an apprentice and mentored under Smokestar himself. When time came for her to become a warrior, she took the name Ivyclaw in recognition of her sharp instincts. Smokestar's former deputy came to pass, and Ivyclaw soon took the deceased she-cat's place. She knows Smokestar is growing old in age, and she secretly fears the day when she will have to rise as the Clan's leader.
