Name: Zinniapaw

Desired Name: Zinniabloom
Age: 17 moons
Birth Moon: River Moon 2019
Sex: Female (she/her)
Allegiance: RiverClan
Rank: Apprentice
Physical Appearance
General: A young black she-cat with long, slender legs. Her fur only has the odd white hair every so often, as is common with black cats, but she does not have any spots that have more than a single white hair. This dark fur accents her yellow eye well, almost seeming to give them an eerie appearance in dim rooms. Much like her legs, her tail is thin and lengthy, giving her a good sense of balance. Any scars she may have are still only from tumbling in weeds and accidentally getting whacked with bush branches but depending on where her life leads her, that may change. If she were a little bit thicker, she would be the exact image of her father.
Images: One
Eyes: Yellow
Coloration: Solid black
Scars: None
Personality
General: Much like her dark coat and gleaming eyes, Zinnia got most of her personality from her father. She doesn’t have the same big dreams of being a warrior cat as her sister Lily does, far more interested in being carefree and chasing butterflies and taking cat naps on the back of the couch in the afternoon sunshine. She’ll still go along for the ride, though, just to see where it might end up. A little bit of adventure every now and then definitely causes her tail to curl in anticipation. Though not very old yet, she tends to be very mellow, her voice soft and smooth as well as her temper. Certainly, she’s more down to earth with her decisions—though her siblings often push her to do some very silly and dangerous things. Thankfully she is incredibly observant and can usually keep them out of trouble, especially when Basil happens to be along too and both of them can keep an eye on their more rambunctious sisters. Though sometimes these misadventures lead to plenty of puns, which Zinnia, at the very least, finds amusing to say even if no one else does. It’s a bad habit she picked up from her cat neighbor, Ralph.

History
Zinnia was born to Dahlia, a Siamese house cat, and Noctus, a pure black stray. She was one of four kittens, and was born alongside her sisters, Lily and Bluebell, and her brother, Basil. They were born within Dahlia’s twoleg home, enjoying the comforts of living life as indoor kittens. They got to see Noctus fairly often after they were allowed to go into the garden, and Zinnia found herself trying to get his attention most of all, especially as one by one her siblings went to live with other housefolk and she was left behind. She didn’t quite understand why she was the last to the picked, but she was happy with the couple that ended up taking her.
Once she moved into her new home, she didn’t see her father quite as often. He had to split his time between each child now, so she understood. At least once a week all of the kits would get together and play still, and sometimes they’d go visit their mother. But as time went on, and the old stories that Noctus had told them of the wild buried deeper into their minds, many of the kits wanted to explore what there was out in the world. Certainly there were other cats with other stories to tell out there, too. Her neighbor Ralph had stories! Just… of stealing turkey and getting in trouble with his humans. Zinnia wants to meet cats like her dad—cats that live on the outside and have stories of danger to tell.
