Beliefs| Spottedstream is an extremely deep believer in StarClan, even though she can be rather philosophical. It's not uncommon to see her wandering about, just staring wordlessly at the sky, murmuring things to herself, but really she's speaking with StarClan, asking for advice on situations from the very trivial to the heavy, extremely difficult stuff.

Appearance | Overall, Spottedpelt cuts an obvious figure among many Clans for her many stand-out physical features all combined in one cat.
She has an extremely thin, lithe, and light frame. She looks like she could be broken just by giving her a hard enough stare. It's because of this that she isn't intimidating, at all, and definitely isn't built for combat. She is more built for speed, with her long legs. Distances are a piece of cake for her also, with a slightly deep chest with a large heart and lungs. She has a rather long body in every direction, complimented by soft curves and lean muscles. She has no unsightly fat hanging off of her anywhere and her pelt is held in place with no loose skin except where her neck meets her shoulders, as all cats do, the rest is attached pretty firmly to muscles with only a slight give.
Spottedstream's pelt may be her most outstanding feature. The base coat is a pale sandy color, rather boring, though it's the rich chestnut spots and stripes that cover her entire body that are extremely eye-catching. Only her front legs have extremely dark brown speckles across them, that appear almost black. Both of her eyes are lined with oddly-shaped stripes that twist and curl around them, though there is also the signature "tabby-M" right in the middle of her forehead, followed by quick tick-marks of stripes dotting the area between her wide ears. Part of her muzzle, her chin, and part of her throat are all white, which fade to the same sandy color as her base-coat, though her belly is rather pale compared to the rest of her fur.
Her eyes are also stunning, especially against the color of her fur. Somewhat slanted, they hold a deep intelligence and curiosity, though the color alone is something to catch your attention. They're a dark blue-gray color that capture light, though don't brighten, only seem to darken when the sun shines into them.
Personality | Spottedstream is a deep thinker with many questions and hardly any answers. She is constantly distracted by things that other cats don't even notice, such as a leaf disturbed by wind or a pebble that was overturned by a passing cat's paw. She is continuously trapped in her own mind, thinking about things and conversing with herself over points she doesn't quite understand. There's so much in life that she will admit she has no clue what's going on or doesn't understand, but there is always one thing she will cling to for dear life. That is her faith in StarClan. They are her crutch in life and she constantly looks for signs from them, such as if she's unsure if she wants to hunt or go on a patrol, she'll pray to them from a sign and go from there. If no sign comes, she'll do neither and instead help out around camp.
Overall, Spottedstream is extremely passive and won't get into any disaggreements unless she is personally attacked. She isn't a violent cat or even aggressive, whether physically or mentally. If a disaggreement breaks out involving her, she'll always be the first one to back down and walk away, preferring to gather as much information she can about the world rather than waste breath and time arguing over something that doesn't even matter. Even if someone should begin making comments about how heavily she relies on StarClan she won't fight back.
Because of her lack of body mass, Spottedstream is never expected to go out on the battlefield. Instead she is left to defend the Clan, should anything go wrong. Defending herself and her Clan is about the only thing she can be relied on to do well, or delivering messages between Clans for her speed and endurance, though she doesn't mind. So long as she has food and shelter she's content, though she does try her best at everything she does, it doesn't always play out the way others expect it to. And she finds this to be StarClan's way.
Skills | Her speed and tracking are rather commendable traits, though she isn't the cat that supports her Clan with her hunting skills. Her fighting skills are adequate, enough to defend herself and those under her care, but it's only when she's in immediate danger that she'll react, and for the most part it's only defensive battling, she would rather not hurt another cat unless it was a complete, black and white, life and death situation.
History | Spottedstream was raised as a loner, then named Penny, by her parents. They travelled about together, just the three of them, Penny's older brothers having went off on their own before Penny was born. Her parents taught her to accept any cat no matter what they said, did, or believed because opinions are the only thing anyone really owned, along with basic hunting and fighting skills. They also taught her many interesting facts about life, which made her curious and have a thirst of more. The group got by with just enough food to survive and were sometimes able to eat food the upwalkers left out for any strays that needed a bit extra. Penny was just under thirteen moons when they stumbled upon a large group of cats trying to set up a new life.
The cats offered the group a home for them, though Buck and Poppy refused, having lived their entire lives as loners. The idea of being stuck in one place was too irksome. Penny, however, was enthralled by the idea and accepted their offer. She took the name Spottedpaw, though she was already older than all of the apprentices. She went through a crash course, learning the basics of life in the Clans and giving what she already knew about fighting and hunting some fine tuning.
After four moons she took her Warrior name of Spottedstream.
