Description Summary: A average built she-cat with white, medium-length fur, gray markings, and soft blue eyes.

Full Description:
Shimmerfern is an adorable floof of a beast, but don’t tell her that. She is built fairly normal for a cat her size and could hold her own in a one on one spat with a similarly built feline; anything more, she’d probably be outmatched, but she’d still put her heart into the fight. Be it blessed or cursed, the she-cat’s coat is almost entirely a pale, snowy white, with slivery soot marking on her tail and head. Her tail is all a soft, silver-tone, right to her rump, and a bit too poofy for her liking.

Her face is wrapped in a silver-grey mask almost like a raccoon’s black one; her head is crowned with dark, cocoa soot ears. She has a thicker, fluffy ruff around her throat just under her jaw, giving her an almost puffy cheek look to her face. With all her pale colors, her blue eyes seem to stand out almost striking, if not unnaturally, against her grey masked features.

Personality:
Shimmerfern doesn’t see herself as anything stellar or exciting, at least not as she did as a kit. She’s grown a bit wiser with her moons, but that doesn’t mean she doesn’t still see herself as a foolish kitten sometimes. After the Snake, Shimmerfern became very, almost hyper-aware, of her actions and how they affected those around her. She is cautious and often dodges risks in favor of a safer and less disruptive path of action. She will always be her biggest critic and will scold herself long after others will have forgotten her missteps.

And those missteps are normally due to her own flutter-minded natures. Maybe not as much as she was as a kit, Shimmerfern is still a regular victim of wanderlust. She loved to explore the world around her, to find things possibly no other cat has yet found. Even though trouble will keep her closer to home as of recent events, her heart still yearns to wander

To her, Clan is family. And be them related by blood or not, Shimmerfern will fight tooth and claw to protect that. She’s wary of strangers, dislikes rogues, and fails to trust without proof that the newcomer doesn’t mean harm. She’ll trust very, very slowly, and even then that trust is fragile at best. Betray her or hurt those important to her, and she won’t give you a chance to earn back into her good graces.

All in all, Shimmerfern wants to help, wants to play a part in her Clan in all aspects. While never aiming to be something as high as Deputy or Leader, she still will do whatever she can to make her family as strong as it can possibly be, even if it means shorting herself in one way or another. She’ll push herself to hunt more if needed, take extra patrols, even kit-sit if she must. All in all, she’s a good sort, with not star-high aspirations other than to literally be the best cat she can be for those around her.

History: (Needs Editing)
Shimmerfern has always been Stoneclan, right down to her blood, like her parents before her. They bore many litters to the clan; Shimmerfern’s simply being the last batch from a plentiful relationship. As Shimmerkit, she was as most would expect; a pawful of trouble and then some. She and her siblings were no end of trouble, often luring in kits from other litters into their antics – both to share the fun, and the later blame. She was the first out of her nest, the first out of the den, and the first to fall headfirst into trouble. Maybe her mother should have named her better?

Her streak of mischief didn’t seem to dull as she aged, and her mentor sadly had their patience tested over and over by the exuberate apprentice. Shimmerpaw wanted to see it all, smell it all, everything in the world that she could touch and see she wanted. It ended up in one or two ‘unplanned’ swims, the discovery of at least a few unmarked burrows (which her mentor had the regular unfortunate pleasure of helping her dig out of) and one very close encounter with a very large snake.

The snake was not at all pleased with the Apprentice’s sudden appearance, and the whole encounter left her soaked and shaken... and her mentor with a very nasty bite. Thankfully, the serpent had not been venomous, but it left the once spirited kit a little crushed. For the very first time, she blamed herself for something, rather than shifting it off to her siblings or just ‘things happening.’ It had been her fault, and thought her mentor let it go, Shimmerpaw couldn’t.

She (and her Mentor) managed to survive her training, and the pale she-cat became Shimmerfern just out of her 18th moon. While she still carries some of her the self-guilt from her kittenhood, she has become a capable fighter and a hunter. She has the freedom to explore the Stoneclan’s lands like she always wanted, but not she’s more draw to stay closer to home. Recent events, including the deaths of Hawkstar and Frozenrain, have drawn her to want to remain closer to home more than ever.
