Zinniaspark Zinniakit, Zinniapaw |Name Meaning| Zinnia- For the beautiful flower that her parents loved -spark For her avid and playful personality |Age| 28 Moons |Gender| Female, she/her |Sexuality| Bisexual |Affiliation| Riverclan |Personality| | Relaxed | Peaceful | Curious | Playful | Trusting | Zinnia is a rather easy going cat. She’s rather down-to-earth, and loves anything that has to do with nature. Whether it be digging in mud or picking flowers, she’s open anytime! She adores plants and animals, and would rather watch her prey than kill it. Something fascinated her about them, how catlike squirrels bodies are when broken down into structure, even though they are totally different species with a drastic appearance change. She loves to try and figure the world out, it’s an interesting place and Zinnia doesn’t waste time. Her motto is ‘explore while you can- you’re only one leaf on a giant oak. That leaf is your life. Merely insignificant in the long run, so make the best of it before your season passes and you’re gone.’ She never dawdles on an adventure, although chores are not her forte. She doesn’t like any sort of manual labor like rebuilding nests, fetching moss, or even taking ticks off. She hated them as an apprentice, hates them as a warrior. Some call her lazy, as she rarely deposits into the kill pile and how she wriggles out of her duties, but she is an avid adventurer and has that enduring spirit that most cats find attractive. She’s very playful and loves to entertain lonely kits and join in their games. She’s normally the first to step in and resolve a game related argument, and the kits love her as she’s the one cat who will always be ‘it’ without making a fuss. She wants kits so much, and can’t wait until she settles down with a mate to raise her own little muffins herself. She is also humorous and kind, she cracks jokes and just her presence alone is enough to lighten the mood around her. She has a contagious smile, and always likes to share it. Of course, with that comes a dark side. She’s often too trusting, not caring if a stranger strays over the borders as long as they don’t seem aggressive, which is a common flaw in her. She likes to make friends too easily, and is known to run away from a battle just because one of her cross-clan friends are fighting there. She finds solstice in fighting, but if it’s against someone she considers a companion she won’t dare unsheathe a claw. |Temporary Backstory| She was a kittypet, her parents loved the flowers their Two-Leg had in their garden. |
“I love a lot of things, mainly nature because nature is so beautiful. I don’t have many problems when I’m around nature, I’m just a big fluff in an even bigger world. A lot of cats see me and instantly cower in fear, I mean- I am pretty much two cats in one. Not my fault I’m gigantic. But nature makes me feel small. Towering pines, large boulders, the ocean spread out wide… it’s all bigger than me.”
|Stats| Hunting: 4/10 She could be good if she tried, but she almost never gets a catch because she hates water and refuses to fish, and she also thinks that mice are too cute to kill. Swimming: 3/10 She’s awful in ‘competitive swimming’. Her long fur gets waterlogged easily, and she can never have the good coordination she needs to catch fish with the water reflections messing her up. She does wade in on her own time though, on hot summer days when she wants to cool her paws down or when she wants to be alone in the reeds. Running: 8/10 She is rather speedy, and can sprint for a long time as a distance runner. She does this better than most Riverclan cats, as she prefers land over the river where currents can sweep her off course. Fighting: 9/10 She’s very excellent at fighting and battling, besides the fact that she gives up the second she sees a loved one. Agility: 7/10 She’s okay, not the best but not the worst. Coordination: 5/10 It’s pretty bad. She has large paw pads, so she often finds herself tripping over her own feet and not able to direct her paws in the direction she wants. She’s okay at fighting if she can flail her claws around, but when it’s skillful hunting or fishing everything flies out the window. |Fun Facts| -Zinnia hates water, even as a Riverclan cat -She’s not very good at relationships however much she wants a mate. She has separation anxiety, and will sometimes break down if someone tries to split up. It happens rarely, so it’s not very important. -She is a Norwegian Forest Cat and Maine Coon mix, so she is on the larger side when it comes to height (and she has a bit of chub). Her broad shoulders and tall stature can make her seem daunting at first glance. |
