Appearance
Description sentence:
A large, golden-brown tabby she-cat with white markings.
☆☆☆
Gene String: Entirely Optional.
Appearance:
Spark is a tall and broad-shouldered she-cat. Her pelt is a warm golden-brown, getting darker around her spine and at the tip of her tail. Her forelegs are more of a cream color, giving way to pure white that runs along her underside, chest, and neck, ultimately ending in a blaze on her snout. She has dark mackerel tabby stripes that zip around her body like lightning. She has a lean build that makes her look intimidating from a distance. Her right ear has a nick in it from a fight with a fox a long time ago. Her yellow-green eyes are slightly squinted from smile lines and they gleam with kindness.

Personality:
Spark is a laid-back cat who is known to reach out a paw to others. She's not much of a talkative cat, preferring short sentences or single-word responses like "Hey, what's up?" or "You feelin' alright?" It's not that she needs to use words, anyhow. She much prefers to communicate through little gestures and actions, offering her fellow tribe members a place to sit and chat while she tends to the clumps of mushrooms scattered around the cavern. She's very sisterly - she loves to give gifts to others, be it the best piece of prey she could find or a pretty rock she found by the water, because seeing them happy makes her happy.
Spark is a hard worker with an eye for detail. She prides herself on being--in her words--the best caretaker of the glowing mushrooms in the Tribe. She loves teaching the to-bes and assisting the elders when she can. As a range-guard, she knows she's supposed to protect the whole territory, but she much prefers to stay close to the camp.
Although Spark will gladly listen to others vent or rant about whatever is troubling them and offer advice, she doesn't seem to feel the same way about herself. She doesn't have... too much to worry about, she doesn't think, so it doesn't make sense to talk to other cats about how she's feeling. It feels selfish to her. She tends to beat around the bush and change subjects quickly. Spark can also get a little defensive, whether its her work, or the cats she hangs out with, or the fact that she won't talk about herself.
Skills & Combat
Strengths: • Tracking • Deft paws • Attention to detail | Weaknesses: • Fishing • Sprinting • Battle strategy |
Character Background
History:
Spark of Fire in Night was born in a litter of two to her mother, Cricket, and her father, Bear. They were your average loving family, and she was close with her sister, Dappled Fur of Fawn. After a brief scare as a young kit, Spark avoided water when she could. She will tell you that she's hardly afraid of getting wet and that she's a grown cat, but over the moons one could see her cast a wary glance at the lake as she walked along the shoreline.
When she was assigned a mentor as a to-be, it seemed at first that she didn't particularly excel at anything. Fighting? She was strong, and she could win a fight, but she wasn't too great at making decisions in the moment. Hunting, she was good enough at, but she wasn't invested. But she shone when given a chance to use her paws for anything other than fighting--tending to mushrooms, reinforcing barriers, and the gathering of materials--all physical work that required deft paws and attention to detail.
Spark was named a full-fledged range-guard at 12 moons, like most Tribe cats. She hopes that the Tribe can maintain good relations with the newly-arrived clans; with the deal they made for the clans' passage to the Star Cliffs, she can see smooth waters from here on out.
