[1/1]

gender || She
'k!

rank || None, as she is a loner
oooh, interesting! i haven't rated a loner before!

clan || None, as she is a loner
same as above!

appearance || Juniper is a normal-sized golden brown tabby she-cat with sleek, short fur, scars running down her flanks, and a slight limp in her back left foot. She has a long scar running down one of her shoulder blades and a small scratch down the bridge of her slightly pinkish nose. Her eye color is forest-green, and her tail is slim and long. Her eyes are playful and energetic, and her body is slender.
she sounds very unique! although i'm sure it's possible to find a cat that looks like her, i think it'll be a little difficult. i believe most brown tabbies have white markings, whether chest or paws! as for the 'golden' part, i have a question; is it golden like the sun or golden like golden-brown marshmallow? other than that, all looks good!

[1.5/2]

personality || Juniper loves to talk a lot. She looks pretty naive, but she's actually pretty smart. She cares about her family and friends a lot, and is fiercely loyal to them. However, she has a dark side, shown in as she wanted to drag out the death of an unnamed cat who had murdered her brother. She tries to act cheerful, and to take her mind off her life, she tries to be sassy and acts like she doesn't care. But most of the time, she's just naturally sassy. She's pretty brave and loyal as well, shown as she recklessly attacks the unnamed tom who killed her brother and was attacking Secret (her later lover), also suggesting the fact of becoming a so-called 'assassin' later on. Juniper could also come off as weird, as she likes to comment and fantasize over flowers and grass. She's also unsure of herself sometimes, though she doesn't show it. She also hates cats who judge her for who she is and doesn't try to hide her feelings about them.
juniper sounds like a pretty nice cat, with a good balance of her traits! my interpretation from this is that she tries covering up her emotions that could be viewed as "weaknesses", like sadness and being unsure, by acting cheerful and sassy.

i'm a little curious, though, what do you mean by "judge her for who she is"? like cats judging her for being a loner?

overall, pretty nice personality! i just have one point; to me, juniper sounds super tough, or is at least trying to be. it's a tad contradicting how she fantasizes over flowers and grass. although i'm sure she has a soft side, i think that it's more realistic for a dreamy-like cat to do that, which isn't the vibe i'm getting from juniper. just a thought i had!

backstory || She was born near a juniper shrub, hence her name. Her older littermate was named Holly since when she opened her eyes and her vision cleared, the first thing she saw was a holly tree. The last of the litter was about to be named when a Twoleg came and stole the kit. Devastated, Juniper grew up with Holly and her mother. Juniper's mother told her about her first litter and mate, who were both taken by Twolegs before since they stayed so close to a Twoleg nest.
interesting so far! a few points: were they staying near the twolegplace as well, or did they move? and it's a little odd how the twoleg stole one kit but then missed the mother, juniper, and holly. i'm also assuming that the stolen kit was very young, considering they weren't named yet. so would juniper even remember the littermate?
