"I feel like humming is her way saying I'm listening instead of speaking because when she speaks her words may twist into the wrong words."

"When you hear the soft humming as she works, The smile she brings just by humming a small tone. You know who the name is. She carries the prefix of petal because they are fragile and easily wither away. However Petal, you won't wither away that easily will you? She's quiet and fragile. Your background character. Yet you can only stab a single petal alone so many times before it is completely torn apart. Petalpaw, oh, Petalpaw, you have a wish you won't reveal. Tell us your tale, your serecets, will you?"

[ Somewhat Background and Plot]

 

Petalpaw was born out of Shadowclan's territory. Despite being born of both two Shadowclan cats. Her parents were stern, yes because they wanted a all mighty perfect kit to bring the clan. However Starclan gifted them with a quiet and fragile kit.

When a moon later she was brought to the clan she was already sick. It was a light one but to the kit, deadly. Her parents were scolded. Petalpaw was the only one being in the litter which was a lie. She did have a brother, he was stronger than her but died out of no where. Their was no hints about him getting sick. Yet no one knew about him. Forgotten in the past while Petalpaw still tries to hold him close. The parents past on a lie that she was the only one and Petalpaw didn't dare deny it, fear of her parents. Even if they were stern and somewhat cold to her they still loved her.

Her past could be labelled `average`. Like most Petalpaw did dream of being a warrior. Yet it wasn't that ambitious. No, not at all. Why? Her reasoning was because `That's my only choice, isn't it?`. It was the most common choice, indeed. While Petalpaw had met Daydream when she was one moon old, due to being sick she never second thought about being a Medince cat.

Petalkit grew up being the small, fragile kit in her kithood. She had friends they were dearly close to her and never had a crush before. At a young age she caught on that she should have at least one. She didn't care, though. Petalkit heard about what was going on, the one thing that distracted her from everything was her brother. She was close to him. Very. Then her father died. Yes, it may be depressing for some but she was happy her brother wouldn't be alone anymore. That is when she came up with a wish. A wish that she would wish every time upon a star.

Petalkit grew to be what we know as Petalpaw. She was 6 moons old and just like she assumed would happen, she was a warrior apprentice. However she disliked it. In a way despised it. She was one of the smallest apprentices there and was struggling to keep up in training. Often having to cut it shorter than indented. Luckily her mentor was a patient one.

Petalpaw went out with a another apprentice but they met a tom . It would be the cliché thing for it to be her brother but it wasn't. Of course Petalpaw didn't know that. The tom looked exactly like him but the only thing he was; much older. She never took that in mind and one of the rare things she did was talk. Talk. Talk. Talk. The tom grew tired of it because he wasn't even here for Petalpaw yet the other apprentice. When he tried to take the apprentice, Petalpaw grew anxious and didn't have time to think so she fled. She had told him to stop but her words failed her. She learn to know that words were would fail her more than half of the time. So, Petalpaw spoke more and more with actions and expressions until humming was more her style. It was a way of listening and speaking. Luckily a week later the apprentice returned to the clan. Petalpaw suffered a bit for fleeing, the apprentice then disliked Petalpaw because she did. However she wouldn't blame her, the apprentice could have died.

After that she learned about the Medince cat rank, Petalpaw was confused why but she grew to love it more than what she was. Herbs didn't bite, taunt you, ask you questions. You didn't have to hurt other cats. She wasn't determined to get the rank, Petalpaw doubted it. She was doubtful. Yet it didn't stop her from picturing it. She didn't have to speak much, actually. She heard about Daydream and Truefully from the tales she was a bit frightened by them but wanted to see why she should. She disliked judging cats before she met them. Petalpaw was still hesitant though.

[ this is more like the plot part now, it's optional. ]

Now that Petalpaw is 7 moons old she started to go around the Medince cat den. Either passing it bye to sneak a peek. Curiosity always kills the cat. Petalpaw built up enough courage to try to speak to Daydream. Which meant sit at the entrance and watch while humming. The Medince cat would most likely start to get annoyed with having a apprentice watching their every move. So, they would speak to her. Petalpaw just stared at Daydream blankly, trying to sink down to the ground to be unnoticeable. The apprentice finally spoke and surprising she actually got to stay as long as she either stayed outside the den and watched or helped out. For once Petalpaw decided to help out. She would hum and put on a bright smile but she didn't speak so much to where Daydream got annoyed, not like Petalpaw wanted to speak anyway. She tone her humming down when Daydream got close because the apprentice was a bit frightened by their grumpiness until that Petalpaw grew closer with them. Training with her real mentor came less and less as she help out more and more in the Medince den. That was until her mother came in. She was pregnant with her second litter but it came too early. Both two kits would die in the birth. Leaving Petalpaw to be extremely horrified of what she witnessed. She was calm kind of. It was kind of hard to not. I mean, seeing her two siblings die. Her mother survived and Petalpaw was greatly thankful to Starclan and more or less Daydream. She trusted her more than anyone. She did save remotely her only parent and close family member. She became more talkative with her and replied to her actually but rarely talked on her own. Sooner or later Petalpaw would become Daydream's apprentice.

or...

Petalpaw did get enough courage to ask to help out. However her wish was never out of her mind. She would become distracted and then close herself off away from everyone. She would stop helping out and train for what she `had` to. Petalpaw became more distant. She would doze off and became a bit more well, empty. Until she was out in the territory and was attacked by a badger. The seven year old apprentice was badly wounded until a warrior out hunting brought her back to Daydream. Petalpaw would have scars but she wasn't permantly damaged. Daydream would confront her and Petalpaw would tell her, stuttering a lot Admitting how she disliked her rank, her lie, her brother. Yet not her wish. Petalpaw would soon bounce back and later become her apprentice.

While her wish is going to be a secret and will continue to be a distraction for her for either plots, if you even want to do one of the plots. Her wish will be reveal either with a plot or just when Petalpaw tells someone.

[ Let's See The Inside ]

The molly is quiet, indeed. It isn't actually shy even if she does prefer to be in the background. She is quiet because she learned that the more you talk the more you can mess up. Petalpaw hums because it is more comforting than words. Sometimes if you are careful to hear the tone you can make out the words. Which is one of the reasons if you are close she doesn't have to actually use words. She will mostly use expressions and actions. Petalpaw is surprisingly calm. She doesn't freak out like most and will put on a blank expression to hide her emotions most of the time. Now the twist is that you would think someone who is fragile wouldn't be able to hold their ground but the twist is she can. One thing about Petalpaw is that words don't affect her. You can call her names and she'll shrug it off. In a way they will soon just back off. She is very aware of everything, she can learn things but she is creative. Petalpaw doesn't tell stories but her movements do. She likes to act out stories. She isn't a mute because she does speak. Just not much. Petalpaw is protective. Even if most will seem that you should protect her instead but she likes being the one to protect. When she cares about someone she will struggle but she'll be right beside you when you need someone. Her flaws is that the molly gives up too easily and can be easily scared. She doubts herself and when she does she mostly will fail. She doesn't have any talents and her humming is only good because she been doing it since anyone can remember. Petalpaw can catch on quick to things. She is your typical clumsy cat due to her large paws. She can be annoying to tell what how she feels and that one thing: Petalpaw doesn't tell. She barely ever talks about her self and if she does it is in little detail. She tends to hide her emotions until they burst. While being calm and all, Petalpaw is lazy sometimes. The she-cat can barely hurt a fly, she despises fighting and is naturally horrible at it. Hunting is meh. Which is one of the reasons why she doesn't want to be a warrior, but also caring for her clan. Since she always thought she was forced to be a warrior, Petalpaw knew it wasn't the right choice and believes being a Medince cat is. The apprentice is rather a introvert, she usually likes close friends instead of lots of friends. She dislikes crowds, naturally. She is one of the cats you could see in the background doing something but the story doesn't focus on her. Petalpaw doesn't need lots of attention. When she cares about someone she will do her best to keep them close, rather clingy sometimes. The she-cat moods vary.

[ The Outside ]

Ref| Ref | Ref

Petalpaw is smaller than average, having a fragile build. Her paws white, while her pads are a pink color. She has a pink nose and bright green eyes. Her face/head is black while her body seems to be a darker brown but blends well. Her back seems to have a black stripe going down it but it seems to fade into the brown the farther it goes down. Petalpaw has a scar just a bit above her nose from the loner when she was 6 moons old. She is a bit fluffier, not being a short-hair. However she isn't a long-hair either.

[ Extra Things And Such ]

What Would Her Releaship with Daydream be?: I can't say how Daydream would like Petalpaw but Petalpaw would most likely see them as a sibling figure. She would consider them fairly close. The apprentice would trust them a lot and would be able to handle their personality well. Petalpaw may disagree a bit with Daydream sometimes, she didn't always say it but her expression would give it away. She may tell Daydream what she thinks if they are in a good mood. Rather than kicking her down if she isn't. Plus Petalpaw would rather keep her ears. She would probably talk with words more often so they could understand her, maybe Daydream could help Petalpaw's disfluency. I think their personalities would go well with each other since Daydream is rather snappy, Petalpaw would be able to handle that and not actually pick much fights with them.
Why should Petalpaw be a Medince cat apprentice?: She is patient and fairly calm, while she has a decent memory. However she could easily get sick in Leaf-Bare. Petalpaw could get creative with the herbs but she probably would be a bit doubtful when she had to treat a patient alone.
Does She Believe in Starclan?: Yes, Petalpaw does. She doesn't worship them or anything. She does knows that dead cats have to go somewhere so they must just go to Starclan. She wishes they didn't speak in riddles all the time, however.
Her Thoughts On Love?: Petalpaw doesn't love anyone romantically. She never has. Yet if you ask her who does she love and she'll reply with, "The Whole Clan, of course. Their like my family!" If she does reply. She means it non-romantically. She does believe that love exist but that she can't love anyone romantically.
Other: Petalpaw has dysfluency but it will get better as she grows older, then start go down hill again [ most likely ]
PDD: 5.96 [ right now, may be different on the choosing date. I am on everyday, though ]

with a soft smile
she begins to fall in despair
when someone was lost dear to her
her fragile heart rides in the storm
the only thing you can hear is her song
wishing for someone to sing with her
someone to share her woes
a dream that has yet to be captured
a fear that has yet to be countered
will you join my journey?
will you sing with me?
