DETAILED APPEARANCE: Marshflower's pelt is a beautiful fawny lilac colour, dappled with faint beige stripes on her face and a slightly darker stripe along her spine and tail. Her murky golden eyes are both mysterious and very unique. She's very tall and lithe, with long legs and a long tail, but her delicate features hide the wiry strength in her limbs.

PERSONALITY & DESCRIPTION:
It would never be expected that Marshflower, with all her cheerful comments and endless laughter, could be one of AspenClan’s senior warriors. Most cats will only ever see that side of her, but this amiable she-cat can switch to serious and focused with the twitch of a tail. She is incredibly devoted to both her Clan and the code that they live by, always looking to the code for guidance in times of trouble. This attribute has made her the advice point for Raggedstar on multiple occasions, and she is truly proud of her brother and his achievements. One factor that she shares with him is her tendency to trust too much, and although this has not landed her in trouble yet it is almost certain to do so at some point in the future. But it would be a mistake to interpret Marshflower’s believing and friendly nature for naivety; her life’s experiences have left their mark on her even though she conceals it almost perfectly. She has twice come incredibly close to losing her life; the first as an apprentice when her curiosity almost lead her straight into a snare, and the second when she almost succumbed to the same illness that cost Raggedstar one of his lives. The first incident in particular has given her a healthy wariness about the unknown, which has kept her safe since then. Her sickness though has instilled a real fear of disease, and during leaf-bare in particular it is not uncommon to find her in the medicine den for either herself or with another Clanmate after the slightest ache or sniffle. Marshflower's beautiful lilac coat and tall, elegant stance make her quite an attractive she-cat, and her murky golden gaze is both mysterious and very unique. Teaching is her true passion, and even when not mentoring she will take out the apprentices to test their skills. She is incredibly mothering, and though she's decided against taking a mate since her former love died, she is satisfied by being a substitute aunt to any cat in the Clan who needs a helping paw.
