Clan | StreamClan
Beliefs| Dappleheart is a strong believer in StarClan. When her parents departed this world, she was sad and angry, but she knew that they had been taken because it was their time. Dappleheart believes in StarClan as she does the different seasons. You can't see why they change, but they still do miraculously. Unlike her sister, Gingerstripe, after her parents vigil, she didn't hold a grudge against her ancestors. Dappleheart did feel angry at the vigil, but she felt so many other feelings as well. It was her mentor that brought sense back to her after the vigil. He had simply said, "It was their time to join the ranks of StarClan.". That left her thinking, and soon she summarized that her parents were still with her: in the stars.

Appearance | Dappleheart is dainty and petite. Her fur is sleek and oily, perfect for swimming. She looks thin, but the fish keep her well fed. Her legs are mostly lean muscle, from swimming the streams in her territory for fish and other things. Her fur loses some of its sleekness, since her Clanmate's and her didn't swim in the streams as often as they would in the warm moons of Leaf-Green. Her size makes her seem harmless when in battle, but her claws and teeth do the talking for her. The other Clan's sometimes think she isn't as much of a threat as her sister, Gingerstripe is, but once they face her in battle, they stop their snide comments. But, as always when they were in the same clan, Gingerstripe wouldn't let them say one sour thing about her sister.
Dappleheart is a brown tabby with stripes of black, her stripes in a sort of zebra formation. The brown on her sort of changes from light ish orange to a darker shade across her frame, giving her her name. Dappleheart's underbelly is pure white, as are her paws. In the summer, it is short and sleek from the her diet of fish. But, in the frost bitten winter, it is thicker and more full.
Dappleheart's ear's are pointed, but then curve down. Her ear tufts are pure white. Her face is covered in an obscure pattern of black, brown, orange and white. Dappleheart's nose is dark pink with a black smudge on the left side of her nose. She has heartish shaped head, making her seem nicer than she might be if you didn't know her. Her paws are normal size for a cat, while her claws are a bit above normal. They are slightly longer than some cats' claws are.
Personality | To sort of signal to her name, Dappleheart wears her 'heart on her sleeve' as the saying goes. Her feelings are shown through her eyes and the way she holds herself up. Unlike her sister, Dappleheart is quieter and more mature. Out of the two, she was the resolution when they got themselves into trouble as kits. She isn't very annoying or loud, as her sister might be to others. Dappleheart is more of a girl who just melting into the surroundings around others she doesn't know.
By now you may think she isn't much of a friendly sort, but she is actually very friendly and kind to others, she just tends to shy away from them, and mumble around new cats. But, if you give her the chance she can be quite a charmer. She'd give her fish to another if they were worse of than her in the winter, but she'd always be rewarded for her act. To her Clanmates, she isn't shy around them, as she's had a proper time around them to get to know the from the head to their tails.
But, though she goes to Gatherings, she still only knows 5 or 10 cats there really well, and only works up the nerve to talk to a few cats she doesn't know well, say two or three. She'd rather listen to other cats conversations, and maybe add something of her own, every other conversation or two. She normally sits with Gingerstripe, even when they chose different clans, they were still close. Many cats may think of her as fragile, and are mistaken, but all the Clan's know that Dappleheart has a heart of gold.
Skills | As an apprentice, it was at first unclear what Dappleheart's true skill was. Sure, she was good at collecting moss and hunting, and everything else an apprentice did, but those things came naturally to most cats. But when she was turning her eighth moon, she discovered her skill was fighting. Dappleheart was very fast, and even today she can't be caught as fast as another cat would be into a battle. She can find a loophole in her opponents defences, and then she finds a way to their underbelly, and their squealing for their mothers.
