Personality
Overview: Fleet is an anxious, scattered mess of a cat. he overthinks everything, and second guesses himself. including his place in the clan and his right to practically anything. he is always applying pressure to himself to succeed, not because he has the drive to be a warrior in the sense that his denmates do, but more because he feels like he must do whatever he can and then some to repay WindClan for saving him as a kit. as an example, he is naturally skinny, but part of that skinniness is because he makes it a point to only eat the bare minimum he needs to function, ensuring that his clan has whatever they need. he is the first to eat the smallest piece of prey in the pile, and lies that he's completely satisfied by that and just has a small appetite (which honestly, is only half a lie because he truly doesn't feel the remaining hunger anymore). his mind is very talented at finding things to worry about, or creating/spotting potential dangers. whenever he steps out of his den in the morning, he sees potential threats everywhere. this makes him vigilant, but it also drains him. every night when he returns to his nest, he passes out from the exhaustion of being on edge during the day, finding himself lulled into a sense of comfort by the sounds of his denmates sleeping. he loves his clan more than life itself, and would give anything to his clan and clanmates.
Traits: jumpy, anxious, dedicated, loving
Mental Age: he's intelligent, but his anxiety and fear are almost crippling. with confidence, he would be very mature and wise.
Psychiatric Complications: agoraphobia, generalized anxiety disorder, PTSD
Phobias: oh he'll find something to be phobic of lol, make no mistake
Sociability: um...while he likes being around his clanmates (some more than others), he isn't exactly "social". he's more than happy to be an invisible wall decoration that goes unnoticed. although he does find safety in numbers and takes comfort in hearing his denmates sleep at night.
Outlook: Fleetpaw struggles to maintain a hopeful outlook. he really does want to make things work here, but he's constantly waiting for the "hammer to fall" so to speak.
Responsibility: he feels a deep sense of responsibility and loyalty to WindClan, especially the patrol that initially found him and brought him in. he is confident that the clan's willingness to help him saved his life, and that's a debt he knows he could never repay but intends to spend his life trying.
Cleanliness: Fleet's fur is always a mess, but he does his best. he is meticulous about keeping a clean nest and helping to make repairs to the dens.
Generosity: he is very generous and loving. he takes the rule about sharing food with queens, kits, and elders first very seriously. having been a starving kit on his own before, Fleet never wants another cat to experience hunger and loneliness like that if he can prevent it.
Manners: he knows his manners and his anxious nature certainly enforces it. but he is also quite prone to stuttering and fumbling over his words and paws.
Bravery:
More Logical or More Emotional?: he can certainly be logical, to an extent. but given how most anxiety is unfounded or at least a bit of a stretch, he is easily seen as more emotional. despite the fact that he is very intelligent.
Favorite Season: newleaf, he loves all the new growth and soft grass. the flowers blooming and pollinators fluttering and buzzing about.
Favorite Food(s): "favorite"? Fleet would be aghast if someone asked him this. he wouldn't dare dream to have a favorite food, he's just grateful when there is food to share.
Favorite Word:
Favorite Sound: the first sound of birds in early peeps of an otherwise quiet morning.
Greatest Hope: i'm not entirely sure Fleet dares to hope for anything...other than perhaps that he has finally found his forever place
Greatest Strength: his tenacity. he's determined to protect his clanmates, even when he's facing something he's terrified of. he may look threatening, and will probably be shaking, but Fleetpaw will always stand up for his friends and clanmates. he is also very gifted at spotting any kind of potential threat or danger, no matter how small.
Greatest Weakness: his anxiety and lack of confidence. this leads to over-thinking, mistakes that he knows he could have easily avoided if he had trusted himself, and hesitation.
Worst Nightmare: being chased out again. he has nightmares frequently on the subject.
Deepest Darkest Secret: aside from the fact that he's convinced he's worthless? he tries to keep his actions from while he was a loner to himself. he knows how his clanmates feel about thieving loners, and he doesn't want them to hate him anymore than he already thinks they do or exile him.
Most Treasured Memory:
Quirk(s):
Theme Song(s): "Sleepyhead" - Jutes ;; “Monsters” - All Time Low, Demi Lovato, blackbear
Background
Place of Birth: the outskirts
Date of Birth: the early moons of leaf-fall
Former ranks: loner
Beliefs: he's not sure yet, but he does lean towards believing in StarClan. it gives him some comfort.
History: he was found when he was around 5 or 6 moons by a WindClan patrol and brought into the clan. by the time he was found, he had been living on his own for a few moons already. he never knew his father, and his mother died when he was very young. having to fend for himself, young Fleet would try to seek help from the generosity of others. however, other loners and rogues would chase him off, thus earning him the name "Fleet" for his hasty retreats. he survived by teaching himself to hunt and stealing prey from other cats in the outskirts (not something he's proud of). he's also been chased off by other clan patrols, most notably ShadowClan, before WindClan found him. his scars were attained during this time in his life.
Physical Traits
Fur Color: very dark blue-gray
Fur Length: short
Markings: slightly lighter shade tail and spot on his head, black eye dots
Eye Color: dark, rich amber
Body Type/Structure: skinny, even for a WindClan cat. he can't seem to put on weight.
Height: somewhat taller than average
Weight: light, he could probably be scooped up by a Twoleg single-handed
Voice:
Gait: uncertain and timid, almost always on edge
Scent: gorse and grass
Scars / Deformities: his body is covered in scars. his left ear tip is barely hanging on, his right ear also has a good sized nick in it. he has a scratch scar above his nose, claw marks behind his left ear, a big claw-scar on his flank, scars on the inside of his legs from when he was running off and cats tried to catch him, and another on his left shoulder.
Diseases / Conditions: other than psychiatric? none.
Coordination: he's very careful with his movements, every twitch has a purpose when it's not involuntary. that said, he also has a lot of involuntary flinches, and when he loses focus he can trip over his own paws.
Reflexes: Fleet has quick reflexes honed by the constant state of alertness his anxiety forces him into.
Strength: quick a whip! both mentally and physically! but not physically strong at all. he definitely relies on his speed.
