☀ Zinnianose ☀
name: zinniakit > zinniapaw > zinnianose
gender: female
age: thirty-three moons
clan: riverclan
position: deputy
short description: medium length, somewhat puffy furred, faded ginger and white tabby she-cat with pale golden eyes
appearance:
zinnianose has soft, fluffy fur that sticks most notably around her chest, neck, and cheeks, almost similar to a lion's mane, but not quite so. it is silky and does not mat often, but when it does, it is extremely difficult to groom out, so she spends a majority of her time in camp grooming herself in order to prevent knots that she would otherwise have to bite to get out. her coloring is about half-and-half with the white, her underside staying mostly white and top side staying mostly ginger. her colored fur is a somewhat faded rusty ginger, almost pinkish in some lightings. her tail is long and wispy. in the hotter seasons, she sheds greatly.
she has a well constructed face. her eyes are wide and spaced apart evenly, with a bright pink nose to show. the fur around her face gives it a round, somewhat ovoid appearance. the pattern on her face is rather symmetrical in terms of distribution of ginger and white. she has long, darker, flame colored stripes streaming off from the outside corners of her round, eyes. they are pale gold in color, gleaming brightly in the sunlight, appearing a more amber color in light. she has long whiskers that are good at detecting movement.
zinnianose is not very lithe and lean. she has dainty paws to go along with her smaller ears, but her hips are broad, and her hind legs are thick. she has strong muscles in all of her legs, that would ripple under her pelt if not for its length. she is a very strong swimmer, but she can't swim against the strongest of currents. her eyes are sharp and excellent at picking out the shadows of fish in the deepest of shallows. her claws are long and well prepared for dragging fish out of the water, and her pads are tough to deal with the more rocky bottoms of streams.
personality:
strategic. zinnianose is known for having well-thought out plans when it comes to battles. she is not a mind-reader, but she knows the other clans enough to know their strengths and weaknesses and be able to use them to her advantage during battle. she often gets stressed when things are happening spur of the moment, or if there is an argument where she does not have enough time to think things through. she would not do well with impulsive cats. she enjoys practicing mock-battles with her clanmates and teaching them her own strategies so that more of her clanmates can apply her knowledge to battles.
organized. to go side by side with her strategic trait, zinnianose is organized. everything needs to be thought out, and though she is a warrior, even seeing a sloppy medicine cat den upsets her. she is constantly cleaning out her nest and making sure that everything is in order. she thinks out patrols to the micrometer, determining who would be best suited to hunt with who, who would work out with who, and who shouldn't even go near who.
outgoing. she likes to make friends and get to know everyone. while she may have more unfriendly motivations for getting to know someone (like knowing their strengths and weaknesses), she is, generally, a friendly cat. though she is hostile at borders, she is open to making friends at gatherings. she is always eager to get out of camp and hunt with her clanmates, or do anything, generally. one of her favorite pastimes is swimming, and in her opinion, it is a great way to bond with someone by swimming together.
judgmental. despite being so open, zinnianose is also quick to judge. she does not trust those with half-clan or outsider familial relations, or those who have previously broken the code. she has a tendency to doubt others abilities when they are not doing their best or pushing themselves to do the best she can. she also thinks very little of the other clans simply for being in another clan - riverclan is the best, obviously! who wouldn't want to be in riverclan?
independent. zinnianose does not like having to rely on others, which can be tricky, especially when it comes to health. she hesitates to see the medicine cat when she feels herself getting sick, and only goes when it starts to really get bad - even then, she may need a little push. she would like a mate someday, but every time she catches herself longing for one, she scolds herself, telling herself that she doesn't need anyone else to be happy, and that she's fine on her own. she also has trouble talking out her troubles with others for this reason.
stubborn. she has strong beliefs, and is not very fond of changing them. this can make it difficult to get into arguments with her, as even when she knows she's wrong, she gets upset and isolates herself for a brief period (her outgoing personality, though, makes her quickly want to retreat to interacting with others). she is not entirely hardheaded though, and can be turned in the right direction with enough persuasion.
history:
born to scarletdrop (a dark ginger tabbu she-cat with bright green eyes) and privetwing (a solid white tom with fluffy fur), alongside her sister, tawnykit (a russet tabby with yellow eyes), zinniakit was off to a rocky start. they were born during a harsh leaf-bare, and their father was very sick. to make matters worse, her and tawnykit's parents were fighting very much due to scarletdrop's accusations of him leaving her for another she-cat while she was pregnant. he had been spending time with another she-cat in the clan, and was demanded by scarletdrop to at least hold off until their kits were old enough to understand why they were fighting.
unfortunately, it never got to that point. privetwing died due to greencough, and zinniakit was left fatherless, with only her mother and sister to accompany her. tawnykit was a good sister - she was competitive, and made things in the lonely nursery fun. they were constantly play-fighting and mock-hunting, always trying to outdo each other. while zinniakit was never as competitive as her sister, she enjoyed the fun her sister provided.
scarletdrop raised them, but she was distant to her kits. she made sure that they were safe and didn't get into too much trouble, but otherwise, there was not a strong bond with her and her kits. she let them play in camp for however long they liked, as long as they came back by sunfall/moonrise, and did not venture out of camp. of course, zinniakit and tawnykit listened - despite their dreams, they would never go out of camp and break the code like bad little kits. zinniakit was harshly dedicated to the code - tawnykit tried persuading her a few times, but zinniakit was not convinced.
then came apprenticeship. there were still no other kits in the nursery, none to look forward to training alongside. things with tawnypaw were okay at the beginning, but as they progressed through their training, it got more difficult. tawnypaw felt as though zinniapaw didn't need her anymore - which was true, considering zinniapaw didn't like to rely on anyone for her happiness - and began to distance herself, growing closer to their mother instead. it was newleaf, with new prey and lots to go around. zinniapaw was spending more time out of camp and acquainting herself with the older warriors. she was fond of the trips she spent outside by the river with her mentor, and adored swimming. she didn't realize that she was no longer as close with her sister as she was when they were kits until late in their apprenticeship, until around the time they became warriors.
she made up with her sister, and when they graduated, she was known as zinnianose, awarded her name for her excellent hunting skills. tawnypaw became tawnyfoot, for her dashing speed. the sisters were close again, and their heads were pressed together as they mourned the death of their mother one night in the warriors den. all tension between them was gone.
soon enough, zinnianose was given an apprentice. there had been a litter of kits born shortly after they became warriors, and the leader had decided she was old enough to receive one. she had a more calm personality than her sister, and she was less overwhelming. zinnianose trained her apprentice, mistpaw, a light gray tom, to the best of her ability. she occasionally butted heads with him, frustrated by his very much more relaxed, uncaring personality. he was sloppy, and that clashed with her need to organize - but it still worked out. she was proud of herself at his warrior ceremony, thankful that starclan had given her the patience she needed to train such a foil for her.
it was worrying for zinnianose when tawnyfoot fell ill. she had gotten greencough, just like her father, and was on the verge of her deathnest. zinnianose sent prayers for her to starclan every night, desperate for her survival. a moon passed, and tawnyfoot was still sick - but she seemed to be starting to recover. zinnianose was relieved when, another half-moon later, she was told by the medicine cat that she had made a full recovery. it was a little traumatizing to think that she could lose her last family member so soon, and she didn't leave her side for a quarter-moon. she hated that she was being so reliant on her sister, but she knew that she needed her deep inside.
zinnianose continues to live in riverclan alongside her sister happily. (i'll be making a character adoption soon for tawnyfoot c:)
