appearance - click - milkweed is a lilac solid she-cat with white van markings. she has a white tailtip, along with various lilac spots around her face and legs. she is somewhat short, and has diluted hazel eyes.
personality - milkweed is a reserved she-cat, having a tendency to not speak her mind. she will allow herself to be pushed around by others, feeling uncomfortable being in control. a natural follower, she will follow those higher than her. she is extremely protective of her kits, and values their lives higher than her own. she feels that she didn't do enough with her life while she was younger, and feels that she's missed her last opportunity to mean something.

history - milk-kit was born to two skyclan warriors: petalflight and dustyheart. she had two siblings, goldenkit and cedarkit. her kithood was relatively bland. she spent her life watching as her denmate playfought, tending to stick close to her mother at all times. her siblings would often tease her for never wanting to play, and she tried her best to not let it get to her.

come her apprenticeship, milkpaw stayed relatively the same. she was a wallflower, and was not particularly talented in any field. she was okay at hunting, okay at fighting, and okay at climbing. she was very afraid of being bad at these things, and instead aimed to be so average that she wouldn't stand out. she found herself crushing very easily on other toms, but her feelings were never replicated. this caused her to have serious self-image problems, believing that she would never be pretty enough, and that she would die alone.

when she became a warrior, she finally found the one. a tom, named emberclaw, was everything she wanted. handsome - but not too handsome - kind, loving. he was perfect. early into their relation, milkweed became pregnant, being a queen at only thirteen moons. emberclaw was not ready for the responsibilites of being a father, and denied that they were his kits. he left milkweed soon before she gave birth, chosing to never tell her kits who their father was. these kits were cloudkit and briarkit.

one day, duststorm brought kits with him to the clan, saying that their mother had left them. milkweed chose to step in and care for them, knowing that she needed to make some sort of difference. one of these kits, lemonkit, would later become the deputy, and then leader, of skyclan.

milkweed's life as a warrior was bland, and really nothing to talk about. she fell into a routine of patrol, eat, sleep, patrol, eat, sleep, and felt disconnected with her life. after her first litter became apprentices, she had two more kits: eveningkit and daykit. she never took any chances, and lived as nothing more than a background character. she meant very little to the clan, and felt purposeless. that brings us to now, where milkweed has little to set her apart from the cat she was moons ago. quiet, uninteresting, and worthless.
