Ambersmudge

A long tailed, cinnamon colored she-cat with copper eyes

Ambersmudge has a short-haired, cinnamon colored coat with a dense texture. She barely needs to clean their fur because of how short it is, yet will do so if any sight of mud or sticky material gets stuck onto it.
Her eyes are wide, her eye-color is purely copper, and her nose color is dark-ish brown. She is average height and size combared to other warriors. Her tail is pretty long and thick, matching the full coat texture she carries.

Ambersmudge is a vocally social and pleasant feline. Her way of communication is settled with a gentle tone, approaching anyone with a joyous vibe. A sense of curiosity could give Ambersmudge in a trance and feel the need to know. She carries less anxiety when it comes to interactions, and is willing to share her daily experience or opinion first. She can become a good listener if there’s a conversation she doesn’t want to miss out on.

She scans for any sight of prey that’ll show up in the typical spot around the Upper West Bank. It’s a good use to know whoever she would unexpectedly meet.

Doubts…it occurs whenever she is alone. It is usually difficult to stray away from it, especially whenever she observes carefully on her clan member’s expressions and hopes she hadn’t taken much of their time or day.

• Born around the Moon of Running Prey(2019), was given a name as Amberkit.
• Apprenticed around the Moon of Leapord’s Rest(2019) as Amberpaw.
• Earned her warrior name as Ambersmudge, around Moon of First Green(2020)

Kithood || 1-5 moons

When she was able to open her eyes, everything in the nursery seemed interesting and new, but she wasn’t so mobile on her paws yet to stand up properly. Every wobbly step takes a while for Ambersmudge to discover any other kits she would’ve liked to meet. Eventually she does improve well around 2 moons, which gives her a chance to go up to anyone in the nursery den. Yet usually Amber’s dam wouldn’t want her wandering too long and would be brought back to their bedding.

Apprentice || 6-12 moons

There was some excitement and nervousness in the moment she had the leader grant her apprentice name. But the nerves had gone away as Ambersmudge was also introduced to her own mentor. A chance of learning more outside of camp, is an experience she’s been waiting to see for herself. For now though, it was best she has some mannerism and take on hunting or patrolling seriously with her mentor.

At least she takes those typical tasks seriously until she gets distracted with other apprentices she is interested in socializing with, being really playful and openly social with anyone around her. Approaching them with curious questions about everything Ambersmudge had seen outside of camp. Sometimes even encourage further exploration around the clan territories. This would get her in trouble for lacking the focus on her training and skill improvement in hunting.

Her hunting experience is growing slowly, often capable of catching 2 fishes in a day, and getting out of the cold river. It didn’t scare her when she thought about swimming in the river, but she did not expect it to be so cold. Ambersmudge during Moon of Tiger’s Wrath(2019), tried hunting some rodents her mentor discusses that were difficult to hunt. The water-vole was scented at the stream-side area. She began positioning into a crouch, taking careful steps forward with patience, and her eyes stayed wide with focus. In all those steps she provided, the apprentice-self was able to bring back a vole-prey. The environment that rodent was in sure was difficult yet Ambersmudge had succeeded.

Warrior || 13 –  moons

The day after the warrior ceremony, Ambersmudge thought hard about being more mature than how she’s been since the time as an apprentice. She might as well give it a try all while still keeping the pleasant and playful demeanor and using a friendly, welcoming tone. Improvement on her hunting skills on the other hand will take a longer process, and volunteers scheduled hunting patrols that limits her time in camp.
