SkunkyArt | Roespls — TGL: Ivystep

[Honest] " You don't have to keep up with the lies if you're honest about everything. " There is nothing Ivystep hates more than a liar. Though she can slip up and do wrong there is not a single time she had possibly lied to save herself. She isn't afraid to speak her mind on how she feels about a topic whether it be good or bad.
" Your conscience is the measure of the honesty of your selfishness. Listen to it carefully. "

[Couragous] " I will die for this clan whether it be by you in this moment or moons after I end this " Scared or not, Ivystep will take a stand if needed. She is not afraid to speak her piece or leave an uncertain path untreaded simple because of fear.
" He who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life. "

[Loyal] " Even if we're the only ones left standing I'd still be by your side. " Ivypaw has a strong and unwavering loyalty to true friends and those who she respects. For her leaders, if they asked her to do something she asks no questions and gets to it. Though depending on situations there may be confusion she will not speak it. There is very little she wouldn't do to stand up for those she loves and the only way to end her loyalty is to break her trust.
" Confidentiality is a virtue of the loyal, as loyalty is the virtue of faithfulness. "

[Faithful] " Though I am unsure of what they're planning that doesn't mean I don't have faith in the ability of my comrades; I will heed their orders. " This trait comes hand in hand with her loyalty. Her faith in those she trusts is something unwavering and beautiful. Though her downfall is how stubborn she is with how intensely faithful she is. Because she holds all of her standards of honesty and loyalty high with her friends and loved ones, if betrayed she would fight for their innocence blindy until they or another friend enlightened her.
" Faith is taking the first step even when you don't see the whole staircase. "

[Proud] " One must hold themselves higher than they truly are, weakness should not be shown in the public eye unless you are submitting to them. " Her pride is something that keeps her head on her shoulders. If she herself were not proud of the feline she'd come to be everything else would fall apart. Her pride is what keeps her in check, it reminds her of the standards she has set for herself and molds her to be everything she ever wanted to be.
" Discipline is based on pride, on meticulous attention to details, and on mutual respect and confidence. Discipline must be a habit so ingrained that it is stronger than the excitement of the goal or the fear of failure. "

[Grudging] " I will remember this, keep a watchful eye behind your back because I'll be their waiting to enjoy the moment I get to make you feel this much pain and humiliation. " The worst thing anything can do is get on Ivystep's bad side. She never forgets a lie, an i'll doing and if worse enough she will drop them quicker than you can say "Oh shit." Pleading and begging for forgiveness will not mend what was done and her standards of friendship towards them will never be the same. She can forgive and put the past behind, but she will never forget. Once her trust is gone you might as well forget about everything else. The loyalty she'd once had would be the size of a pebble in comparison to what once had been a boulder.
" I never forget. I never forgive. I can wait. I find it very easy to harbor a grudge. I have scores to settle. "

[Concealing] " I would rather not talk about these kind of things " Although she is outspoken and honest there are things she will keep her mouth shut about. If she is told a secret, it stays a secret. Aside from these things she tries to keep internal emotions that are affiliated with what she views as "weak" away from public eye. If she is scared, uncertain, unstable, doubtful or hurt she will not speak a word of it. There are few times when she will open up about these things and those are very rare occasions. She views these feelings as her weaknesses, and to let someone burden them with her would do nothing.
" We reveal our joys and successes, we conceal our pain. "

[Gullible] " So you really chased off a bear and didn't get a scratch on you? Amazing! " Because she's so trusting and narrow sighted with those around her she finds it difficult to understand a stretch of reality in someone's story. She's easily swept off into believing even the most far fetched of things simply because she can't separate her trust and common sense.
" And that's the thing about people who mean everything they say. They think everyone else does too. ”

[Stubborn] " I've made up my mind already, now get out of my way and let me go through with it! " Once Ivystep has made up her mind about something there is very little that one can do to stop her from doing it. From this to obeying orders, she is stubborn to budge from what she is told to do and what she believes she should do.
" I have never had to face anything that could overwhelm the native optimism and stubborn perseverance I was blessed with. "
