| Optimistic | Dependent | Delicate | Clumsy | Friendly | Passionate | Well-mannered | Forgetful | Selfless
Optimistic
Most would never see looking at the bright side a bad thing, but she manages it. Swanfeather tries so hard to be the glass half full type that she can come off as extremely annoying to other cats. She tries he hardest to see small things as important, and has a good sense of humor as well. If it was storming, she could just bask in the beauty of the weather. It doesn't have to be something big for her to notice it and connect to it. It's rare to see this cat upset, her patience is very high.
Dependent
She loves other cats! Swanfeather can almost always be seen with at least one other RiverClanner. This means she is pretty easy to find most of the time, and is a contributing member to her clan. However, sometimes it can be seen as clinging, and she's had cats yell at her to stop following them before. Although it is rare for Swanfeather to be angry or sad, the most likely time for this to happen is when she is left by herself. She'd be completely lost as a loner, and can even have panic attacks if by herself too long.
Delicate
This she-cat is soft both in mind and body. She was trained to fight of course, but could never really bring herself to actually fight unless it were to keep herself or a loved on alive. If the Clan was battling others, she would be one of the first to offer staying back at camp, just to avoid a fight, if she can. Her feelings can be hurt easily, even if she won't show it and keeps her strong smile plastered on her face.
Clumsy
No matter the task, Swanfeather will probably mess it up. Even walking with her own paws seems to be a hard task for this she-cat. She the most graceful in the water, but she'll fall into it like a moron. She doesn't mean to do this, she even tries to be well balanced, but it never works out for her. She knocks into cats all the time, and being made fun of it isn't uncommon. Swanfeather is used to pain, stubbing toes and catching her tail on things. The warrior has gotten to know the medicine cat pretty well.
Friendly
Swanfeather is a social butterfly, loving to talk with other cats. She's extremely kind and will go out of her way to go greet another cat. This feline often manages to remain happy and welcoming to other cats even if they snap at her or are rude. The only down side to this means that Swanfeather can't easily see the lines that separate herself and cats from other clans. The white feline's favorite thing in the world is going to gatherings and meeting as many new cats in that night as she can.
Passionate
When she's confident about something, this cat won't be stopped. She loves giving her all to making a friend, or perfecting a battle move. Even if she'll never use that move. Swanfeather can be stubborn when it comes to quitting on something, which means most of the time she won't. She's dedicated to her clan, but even despite her abilities she is humble and isn't the type to show off.
Well-mannered
She was raised to always use her please and thank yous. Swanfeather sometimes will even softly and kindly try to remind other cats, who don't use them as much. She never inturpts anyone! The warrior always tries to keep eye-contact, and since she isn't very nervous she normally is able to. This trait is pretty easy to uphold when you are not a rule breaker like her. Although sometimes she can be seen as silly by other cats, considering she will act submissive near any high-rank, lowering her body even.
Forgetful
Don't trust her with any important task. Despite being devoted and loyal, this she-cat really just can't remember things. She'll leave and attend a clan meeting or gathering with dirty messy fur, because she didn't remember to groom it that morning. If left in charge of patrols, its a good beat Swanfeather will be seen later sunning herself in some warm area of the camp. She's horrible with remembering conversations she has had, and is known to sometimes even forget cat names, especially if they are not from her clan.
Selfless
It's shocking this cat can even manage to keep her moving. She'd literally drop everything to help someone. Need a cat who doesn't even know what a scar feels like to die for you? She's your gal! Need a cat to find you love, even if it means giving up her own? She's your gal! Swanfeather strives to make other cat's happy, and giving up her own happiness isn't even something she thinks about. Or not until it is too late and then she would never try to fix it, because it would upset the other parties envolved. She just accepts and moves on!

Background
History:
|Pre-existence|
Minnowdance and Patchpelt had grown up their entire lives as best friends, so when the warriors found out they were expecting kits at the same time, they were completely and utterly thrilled. The new queens promised to make sure the children they would have became best friends, just like them. That's how Tigershade and Snowleap met. Patchpelt gave birth to her litter only a week before her friend. The two kits were friends, but never all that close, not like their parents had wished, although Snowkit had become tied to the hip of one of Tigerkit's sisters.
As apprentices, the two cats seemed to hate each other, always trying to challenge each other. It drove their parents up the wall, although the apprentices hardly seemed to notice. It wasn't until they became warriors that anything else happened between the cats. Tigershade's sister and Snowleap were as close as ever, and then tragedy struck, the she-cat catching green-cough and dying. Snowleap and Tigershade both went into depression, and put aside their need to compete with one another. Through the weeks of being depressed the two warriors grew close, almost to the extent of blocking out others. It wasn't a surprise when moons later the two became mates. Despite the tragedy which put them together, it was hard for their mother's not to admit they were completely and utterly thrilled by the fact.
And then of course, Snowleap was bearing kits, the joy of both families was quite apperant.
|Kit-hood|
From the love of those two warriors came four little balls of fur. It happened while Snowleap was finishing a swim, since it made her weightless and relieved the pain on her ankles from being heavy with four kits. Ravenkit was first to be born, followed by the toms of the litter; Wiperkit and Frostkit. Lastly was Snowkit, named for the white bird that swam by just as the last kitten was pushed into the bright world. The siblings were not even able to be very active until leaf-bare came. One day, when the kits were playing out in the camp, a desperately hungry hawk came. A senior warrior had spotted it, raising the alarm to the queens. Tigershade was quick to jump over his sons, and Swankit felt her body go limp as her mother picked her up by the scruff. Ravenkit had been chasing snow flakes, thrilled by the first snow fall they had ever encounter. She had barely noticed the screams of her parents, and one she had, it was too late. Talons wrapped around the black kit who stood out so well in the white wonderland. The senior warrior tried to save the kitten, but received horrible face wounds from the bird and was forced to let go of it's legs, condemning the kit to its fate. Snowleap put on a false face of happiness, never showing the pain of loosing a daughter. This time was what started to form Swanfeather into the cat she would eventually grow up to be, always smiling even in the darkest of times.
|Apprentice-ship|
Swanfeather was excited like any other kit when she became a 'paw'. She and her brothers were close, despite their new duties often seperating them. The three always meet up at the end of the day to form a furry pile of bodies and limbs. During this time, it became apparent that despite her form growing into better proportions she still stumbled and fell often like a kit. Swanpaw was a strong swimmer, although she never figured out battle moves. In all honesty, the she-cat hardly made it through her assessments, almost entirely because of her fight training. No matter what cat you put her up against, Swanpaw would loose. At first she was held back, but even after moons more of training, she still refused to attack other cats, and was made a warrior despite her seemingly lacking ability to defend herself. Her mentor, Frogsplash was always kind to her, but she could see his disappointment when she wasn't made a warrior along side her brother, and worse yet never mastered fighting. Luckily, neither of her parents seemed disappointed, and the apprentice kept her optimistic personality.
|Warrior-ship|
Swanfeather was thrilled to be with her siblings again, and now she was with her parents again too. The family was relatively close, although eventually there was something that pulled the white feline away. She started to spend a lot of time with a dark gray tom named Coalspill. The warrior went on patrol of the time with him, and they quickly became best friends. Her brothers teased her all the time about the two cats becoming mates, and eventually most of the Clan was under the impression they would. Swanfeather really was taken by the tom, and had fallen some time-ago for him, but was unable to admit it to the warrior. Her father died during this time and the two cats grew apart simply because of how much time the white feline needed to spend with her mother and brothers. After a while they started to talk again, and Swanfeather was also to the point of telling him how she had felt. In effort to do this she took him to the river one night, ready to confess, but Coalspill insisted on going first. He wanted her help, to get another she-cat to fall in love with him! He had fallen so hard and so quickly for a calico RiverClanner named Leafhail during the time he spent away from Swanfeather as she mourned her father's death. The she-cat took it all in stride, agreeing to hep him, constantly just picturing her mother, who despite losing a daughter and mother was strong and, seemingly happy. So after moons of work she convinced Leafhail to return affections to Coalspill, despite the fact that she loved him too. Since then, her feelings have faded though, and she moved forward, eager to make new friends and to find the next big step in her life.

Roleplay Sample:
From Their-Dark-Eden
Perpetual followed the shepherd mix diligently through the streets of Eden. She giggled as Reid shoved her a little, she had done this the last time they had met, but she had almost toppled him over. Since that happened she had been planning to avoid those sort of interactions, but this playful manner pleased the female greatly. When the giggle that sounded like bells on the air ceased, she was left with a wide smile on her maw. It felt weird to smile some much with out a pup in sight, but she enjoying it deeply. She got self conscious that she looked goofy and she lessened, but her joy was still apparent. As they reached their destination Perpetual smiled and followed him obediently into the shack. She was in awe as she looked around the very dim room. There was no electric lights in here, and the source of light was by coals, which made it pretty warm in the restaurant, but it wasn't uncomfortable, and very nice in truth, it left a calming effect. Perpetual looked up at him, her floppy ears tipping back as she listened to him speak. "Yes, this is very suitable." She said softly. She had been in the rough part of town, but, never for long, and she never stopped for anything. There were too many stories of females being abused there, pretty or not. Perpetual of course didn't feel attractive, so she got a warm tingling feeling getting the impression Reid thought she was.The border collie followed them to their place in the room. She tentatively got onto one of the larger "seats". It was a red velvet pillow, although a lot of the velvet had worn off, and the square threading below were visible, the dirty flatten cotton inside could be seen. She didn't give it much thought though, everything in Eden was worn. Even things in the nursery, although it was clear Eden tried to do best by their pups, not much could be done in the world they lived in. Perpetual's soft sky blue eyes stared into the center piece, the light source for them tonight. Their was a pyramid of coal burning in a crafted "cage" type structure of black metal. The coals were so hot they burned red, with flickering vines of color, it danced in her eyes as she peered at it, she was lost in the beauty it held.
