BASIC APPEARANCE: Clay-and-white tom with moss-green eyes.

DETAILED APPEARANCE: Muddy Patch is a confident clay-brown-and-white tom with subtle moss-green eyes. Fluffy fur with a permanent, mirthful expression give the tom a friendly air, one that isn't misleading in the slightest.

PERSONALITY & DESCRIPTION: He is endlessly amused by the small things in life and very much focuses on the present. Naturally following this is the fact that he is almost never buried in negative thoughts, being one of those lucky few to be truly and effortlessly positive. Even ideologies that should make him sad do not, as he is surprisingly accepting of nearly all circumstances and occurrences. In this way he cannot be shocked or let down which may work in the favor of some, but others might sense a disconnect from him. Regardless of how he presents himself, Patches is considerably mature for his age group, likely due to his perceptive understanding of group dynamics. The clay-brown tom is fascinated by the functioning of Zephyr and groups in general, bestowing him an assertive and competitive nature that juxtaposes his friendly one. These traits clash frequently, and in this way he constantly feels like he needs to achieve more, strive for more than he already he has in an effort to be the best. He can never sit still, he can never be idle, he can never relax. These possibly self-imagined expectations put a weight on his shoulders that rarely ever ceases, and he is left feeling exhausted at the end of each day. He believes all the cats around him expect a high level of achievement from him, and he unknowingly expects that from himself too. How Patches will manage this exhausting cycle is not yet known, and the effects from overburdening himself are not certain either. He doesn't know his limits as well as he should, and this unfortunately doesn't point in the right direction of him learning self-control. Only when his productivity turns into failure will he likely realize his mistake and shape up, and he almost certainly has the difficult task of learning from hardship and mistakes ahead of him.
