NAME: Carter

AGE: 78 moons (at death)

AFFILIATION: Outsider, Cinder's Group

BASIC APPEARANCE: Brown and white tabby she-cat with deep green eyes.

DETAILED APPEARANCE: Depending on the lighting, her pelt may appear ashy or deep brown, with dark, almost black tabby stripes criss-crossing them. Her muzzle as well as chest and belly are pure white, set off by deep green eyes. Her whole body is covered in small scars, mostly due to her kithood involving many younger cats who used play-fighting as a pastime.

PERSONALITY & DESCRIPTION: Carter is the type of cat that believes she has her life figured out, and refuses to listen to anyone who tells her otherwise. And truly, she is not wrong in believing so. She has acknowledged her faults and worked towards her strengths, which puts her at peace in most situations. Carter is a scarred she-cat, both figuratively and literally, with her eyes somewhat distant and her pelt dotted with old scars. Not necessarily from honorable battles, with. As a young cat, she was the one to resort to violence to solve her problems—mostly with those her own age or cats who thought of her as weak. Her violence was not from any form of bloodlust, but more to fill a sense of… boredom. At a young age, she learned a hard lesson about relying on others’ opinions and physical protection. More times than not a serious situation would put her in a situation to watch out for other cats who weren’t as well off as she was, showing her just how much of a struggle it was—both physically and mentally—to be the lifeline to another cat. These recurring experiences encouraged Carter to seek out independence, which she readily did once she was old enough to leave her parents and siblings. Getting along with other cats isn’t necessarily hard for her, and it’s not that she cannot work with other cats, but she would rather not be relied on in fear that she might let someone down. She doesn’t have bad intentions, but her insistence that it is easier to get things done by herself reaffirms certain cats’ claims that she is selfish and does not care for any other cat but herself. Partially true, if her track record is anything to go by, but more so false, as her relationship with her mate Forest is based entirely on trust and reliance. It hasn’t taken away any of her independence, but instead strengthened her. A close ally she can be to others who agree to the policy of honesty she has lived her life on, but the one question that will always remain is whether or not her intentions are genuine.
