Default Re: Criticism on my cats?

Here we go!
Desertmoon
She seems like a nice cat, and I can tell the gist of her personality. The problem is that she had no personality flaws. There's got to be something that she wished wasn't in her personality. Physical flaws are one thing, but every character needs emotional/mental/personality flaws. Another thing is that her physical characteristics (Coordination, strength, reflexes) don't quite match up with her personality. It's fine if you don't want to change this, but it seems that Desertmoon would be a stronger and more coordinated cat. Even if she wasn't born this way, it seems like her personality would make her train until she was where she wanted to be.

It would be nice if you would explain the quirks a little. How did she come to speak another language and hate rabbits? A backstory or something to explain this would be nice. That way it doesn't seem like you just threw it in there because it sounded cool. Maybe do a little story on how she traveled from France to here and what that was like for her. Did it affect her personality or give her any quirks etc? And why does she like things that come from the desert? Has she been there, has a cat told her about it? What makes her this way?

Welp. Sorry if that sounded harsh, I didn't mean for it to... but here you go!
