Beliefs|
Larkpaw is a firm believer in StarClan, though does not believe they control her fate- or that of any other. She strongly believes destiny is something you grab for yourself, not a path one must follow. She also believes a cat should never linger in the past, but always look brightly to the future- after all, when you die, you go to StarClan, so life never really ends at all.

Appearance |
Her fur is a golden-brown with very thick black tabby stripes, almost looking like her fur is black and the stripes golden. Each leg is mostly gold with a thick black band around the top, and more defined stripes appear on her face. The fur on her muzzle is a bronze colour, but the end of her face is white. She is naturally bushy, long-furred cat, making her average-sized build a little bigger looking. She has pale green eyes, and, aside from her being a little shorter, is the typical stocky build of her family.


Personality |
Larkpaw is very bouncy and bubbly, always full of energy and ready to do whatever she can to be useful. Eternally cheerful, and quite impatient, perhaps a little silly sometimes, she is a ray of sunshine on a cloudy day. She is quite innocent and naive, still, despite nearing thirteen moons, and doesn't quite understand the Warrior Code yet, though still vows to follow it, and be the best warrior she can be. She is a little confusing at times, and unreliable, as she tends to be so hyper she doesn't quite pay attention to other cats. She is also a bit self-centered, not always thinking of others, and sometimes over-confident about herself.

Skills |
Larkpaw has no real strengths, nor any real weaknesses, except for perhaps her headstrong personality and seeming inability to pay attention for long enough. She isn't much of a tracker, but she is a fast learner so can both swim and climb capably. Speed certainly isn't her forte, but she is faster then some, and while she is a little tougher then your average cat, she isn't exactly an incredible hulk either. If you were to really analyze her skills, her fighting would probably come on top, but only because she doesn't have the patience a good hunter needs.

History |
Larkpaw was born at a difficult time, for her mother had recently lost one of her previous kits, and so the reigns of life were placed on more constricting for Larkpaw and her brother then had been for the previous litter. Still, she couldn't say her life had been bad, or that she ever lacked love from family. True sadness first came to her when her mother was killed by rogues, - but she still had her 'own' brother, as she saw him, Smog, and two older siblings, and, of course, her father, so life didn't quite end in shatters. Though distraught and confused over her mothers death, she did not allow herself to be a grieving burden. Then her father did something she'd never have seen coming- he left. He left his own children to fend for themselves. The bitterness of that has never quite left Larkpaw, for all the joy she exudes. She barely noticed when Cinder left, for it felt as if everyone would leave her in the end.

With her older siblings acting as fosters, she allowed herself to be pushed around and ended up, with them, joining MeadowClan. However, after only half a moon she decided she couldn't do it- She simply had to get away from her family, start a new life, become a new cat. Determined, she went to join StreamClan, vowing never to let a cat have so much emotional control over her life. She wiped the slate clean, and came to them as joyful and exuberant as a kit.</sub>
