Strike
Loner (atm) ∙ Nomad ∙ Female ∙ 28 moons
Appearance
Description sentence:
Long and sleek furred molly with brown fur, a darker brown stripe down her back, and hazel eyes.
☆☆☆
Appearance:
Strike is a large molly with muscles hidden underneath brown fur. Her body is more suited for harsh ocean waters and fast moving current, hence her body type and sleek fur. Her ears are just a little bit smaller than the average cat’s as well. Her paws are large and webbed to aid in swimming. However since she is near Meadowclan territory, she finds burrs getting caught in her fur or small twigs that snapped off of shrubs. She tends to get more mats in her fur as well, causing her to take longer grooming than short-haired cats. When she’s looked at her reflection, she’s seen she has hazel eyes. If Strike remembers correctly, her mother once had the same color eyes. During warmer seasons she sheds in huge clumps of fur that sometimes makes it hard for her to hunt in thick forest territory, but she manages.
Personality
Please list at least three positive and three negative traits for your character below.
Positive Traits: • Smart • Resilient • Loyal | Negative Traits: • Self-sacrificing • Dwells on guilt • Difficult to compromise with those she dislikes |
Personality:
Strike is a smart cat and able to adapt to any living situation given adequate time. She’s incredibly loyal to those she considers friends or loved ones, and will fight to the death to protect them. This does lead to her trying to take the fall for them sometimes or dwelling on guilt and feeling like she could’ve done something different. When it comes to those she doesn’t trust or does not like, Strike will often ignore them, be reluctant to talk to them, or argue when disagreeing on a topic. She tries her best to work on these flaws, but it’s going to take time. It takes awhile for Strike to warm up to others, but once she does the cat will have a friend for life. Strike grows to respect cats in authority if she gets to know them and their beliefs. If the cat in power has good intentions and seems to lead well, she is a strong supporter and will offer suggestions when needed.
Currently Strike is uncomfortable and more short tempered than usual because of the heat and humidity in the forest. She tries her best to be polite if meeting a new cat, but her discomfort bleeds into her voice.

Character Background
History:
Strike met White Frost, Frost at the time, on the border of their colonies territories. Frost was a light gray she-cat with white speckles, and cold blue eyes. The two got a long well in the beginning of their relationship, but then Frost was given a higher ranking position and their relationship became very strained. Frost turned into White Frost and her ambition cause Strike to become wary. At the same time tension between their colonies had picked up, so it was a matter of time.
They broke up before the battle, where White Frost deals a death blow to Strike’s mentor, Salmon Scale. Strike vows to avenge her mentor while trying to assist her colony to regroup and strengthen their numbers. Eventually she becomes mates with childhood friend turned leader, Crow Eyes. The two mollies get each other through the grief of losing loved ones in the battle, but buttheads when trying to regroup the colony. Other cats in high ranks within the colony also disagree with them, causing even more strife.
Strike eventually ends things with Crow Eyes because the stress and hardships of the crumbling colony were just too much. Strike was there when cats began to leave and give up on each other, and was one of the last to leave the disbanded colony. She does not know if any old friends or former mates are still alive.

Other Notes
☆☆☆
Other:
This character is an alternate version of an oc I have with the same name and similar backstory, but outcomes and universe are different. Strike in this universe is from an outcome where her colony is broken apart after a huge battle with a rival colony following the betrayal of her former mate, attempts to restore her colony fell through multiple times, and then the complete disbandment of her colony. It’s basically a Bad End version of her colony.
