☆☆☆
Gene String: N/A
Appearance:
Shiversong is overall an average sized molly, though she does have longer legs than usual. Her build generally comes off as lean, given that she is more of a runner and agile creature than brute physical strength leaning, and she has a long, fluffy tail. Her pelt is pure black, along with her nose and paw pads which allow her to almost appear out of nowhere in the shadows of MeadowClan camp. This black coat is often well groomed and fluffy, like the molly never lost her kit fur. Pale greens eyes finish off Shiversong’s appearance, the contrast giving her a look of iciness though really she is a often a sweetheart.
Personality
Positive Traits: • Friendly • “Mirroring” • Quick Thinking | Negative Traits: • Proud • “Mirroring” • Stubborn |
Personality:
Shiversong is, at her core, just a young, happy, and friendly molly. She enjoys interacting with other cats and getting to know them, considering her earlier life was more isolated. It isn’t hard for her to make friends with her outgoing nature. Her general high ability in good communication, helped with something she does called “mirroring”, boosts her core nature as well. For Shiversong, mirroring means reflecting the appropriate personality for a specific cat when she is working or speaking to them; in short, she will adjust her interactions to cater to the best outcome in the interaction.
This molly is also very quick thinking in near all situations. She isn’t one to freeze up, and uses her highest abilities to solve problems she is faced with, something that helps make her a good medicine cat. One of her “crutches” is her pride. Shiversong may not necessarily think of herself as above all others, but she is sometimes known to brag and isn’t often humble. This can also lead to issues where perhaps she should have just kept her mouth shut, but didn’t.
Her mirroring tendencies can get her in trouble as well. Sometimes when cats notice and pick up on it, it can be taken in a negative way; others may see it as lying or deceit, or even as Shiversong looking down on them when that isn’t necessarily the case. Her stubbornness often gets her in the same types of trouble. It combined with pride can create disasters for her as a “higher” ranking Clan cat.

Character Background
History:
Shiversong’s family wasn’t the trusting or social type, unlike her. Due to their limited interactions, the four cats (Shiver, her mother, father, and littermate) were very close. Her father, Viper, often told the young black molly stories of other worlds and places, while her mother Olive was more grounded and tried to teach her kits practical survival skills. While Shiver’s littermate Willow was purely like their mother, Shiver was a good mix of the two.
Overall, the younger part of the black molly’s life was peaceful; they lived a good distance from other cats and groups, which allowed them to exist in a relative peace in the meadow. Shiver was a tad lonely, though still content and showing a heavy interest in herbs and healing as she was much less proficient in hunting.
The small family’s peace was shattered when Olive was attacked by a snake. Shiver and Viper heard the shriek and ran to her, but she was already being affected by the poison. The molly tried everything she knew, but she simply didn’t know enough to save her mother.
All three were devastated, and a few moons later Viper and Willow decided to leave. A part of Shiver wanted to follow, but something larger seemed to force her to stay. It was simply a feeling she couldn’t explain. They said their goodbyes, and all three left. Shiver decided to travel closer to the forest, closer to where she had heard stories from her father of cats living on cliffs. She stopped and talked to cats as she went, learning of different herbs if they knew. It wasn’t long before she settled again, in a vacant “room” amongst the meadow ruins. Her first night there, she watched claw marks be carved into the night above; something felt both settled and unsettled that night.
The Clan cats came next, and while the molly welcomed them others didn’t. As she learned of Clan life and StarClan, things - feelings - made sense. It wasn’t long before Shiver became the medicine cat, called Shiversong, with her now relatively extensive knowledge of treatments and herbs in the territory becoming MeadowClan.
Shortly into her new role, Shiversong dreamt of a pool connected to the Clan’s ancestors. Droplets fell from above, glowing mushrooms all around, and a view only possible from the cliffs of the Tribe. A cat stood over the pool, tail beckoning the molly forward. She awoke startled just before dawn, the pull in her chest. No time was wasted as the medicine cat pestered Rowanshade until he agreed to follow as she traveled to the place, using their connection with the newly restored Tribe tom Black of Moonless Night to get access to their StarClan pool. It was deemed the Star Cliffs.
Less than a moon later, Shiversong witnessed Rowanstar receive the nine lives of a leader. It settled awe and respect in her chest, and belief was cemented that night. Twenty five moons of Shiversong’s life had passed, and she now believes she has found her place.
