One Sentence Description: black she-cat with deep hazel eyes.
Appearance: ravenclaw's coat is pure black from the tips of her ears to the very tip of her tail. her paws are thin, light, and pure black like the rest of her. her nose is a dark pink color and almost always moist. her eyes are a deep hazel. when you look into them you don't see anything, just hazel. she never let's her eyes betray her, always guarded off with a three inch shield almost impossible to break unless you're darn special. the inside of ravenclaw's ears are pink like her tongue, her teeth are sharp and as close to white as they can get with a diet of dead animals and no tooth brush. her claws are sharp and menacing, her favorite part of her. she's not the best looking cat in the forest but she's not the ugliest either. her legs are a little to lean, her body a little too slim from lack of food, her eye color just a little too dull, her fur just a little to bland. she likes her bland look though, she would probably hate her look if she looked like a peathingy. although, she doesn't mind peathingy looking toms.

Personality: ravenclaw can be described in many ways with many words. stubborn, hard headed, controlling, perfectionist, loyal, strong-willed, selfless, strong, ect. at first glance, you would think she was bitchy, selfish, demanding and stubborn. some aspects make her a great warrior and a amazing contributor to riverclan. others make her a pain in the butt. let's get into depth. . .
stubborn / hardheaded - ravenclaw likes to stick to her ideas and opinions. she will always respect and follow the warrior code no matter what. she refuses to be anything like her father. once ravenclaw makes up her mind there's no changing it. she usually thinks about her choices for a long time before she fully makes up her mind. ravenclaw likes to make wise decisions that somehow help riverclan. her mind isn't easy to change unless there's a really good reason for change. the one thing you can't change are her beliefs.
loyal - ravenclaw is a very loyal feline. she's loyal to her leader and to her deputy. she respects riverclan's medicine cat and has high hopes for riverclan's apprentices and MCA. she sticks to riverclan's rules and would never dare disobey a rule given to her by a higher up rank. or even from a more experienced warrior. she can be demanding to some but, if you tell her to jump, she'll jump.
perfectionist - ravenclaw wants everything to be perfect. everything. if she walks by a apprentice training without it's mentor and it's position is just a little bit off she would correct it. if her bed is just a little messing, she will fix it until he believes it's perfect. ravenclaw like to keep her fur neat and clean. her motto is "you have to look your best to be your best". she isn't a complete freak about her looks. if she's fighting she wont forget about her enemy and start fixing herself.
selfless - ravenclaw always puts her clan before herself. she eats last, she helps others. anything to improve the clan in anyway. she isn't the biggest fan of kittens and probably will only have kittens to increase the size of the clan like her mother. ravenclaw can be selfish sometimes. just not that often.
overall - when ravenclaw fails at something or looses a battle between clans she instantly blames herself. she tears herself up about it, taunting herself about all the little things she did wrong. ravenclaw is also very guarded, she never let's anyone in. maybe her leader if she gets a strong bound with her/him but, really, she has no more family, just herself. you could say she's lonely, sad, angry, you could guess her mood, but you would have to be pretty darn special if she tells you how she feels or if you can see past that rock hard shield she wears. ravenclaw also has a sharp tongue and attitude. she's blunt with her words. she tries to watch what she says but it doesn't work too well. she usually talks before she thinks and usually ends up saying something she shouldn't. toward other clans she doesn't even try to watch her tongue.
Likes: hunting, water, running, laying in the sun, adrenaline rushes, riverclan, fish, warm days, mice, pleasing people.
Dislikes: ignorance, arrogant cats, other clans, snow, twolegs, rain, being called 'selfish', losing a fight (being hurt during a attack), rabbits, kittypets.

History: ravenclaw's life started like most kit's lives. a she-cat and a tom feel in love, the she-cat got pregnant, kits were born, yadada. the only difference was ravenclaw's mom didn't want kittens. ravenclaw's mother was a hardcore warrior, everything she did had to help the clan in some way. from eating last to spending hours upon hours hunting even when it wasn't her turn to hunt. having kittens was another thing embertail, ravenclaw's mother, did to help the clan. in embertail's mind having kittens meant more apprentices, which meant more warriors, which meant stronger chances against the other clans. embertail and bearclaw -ravenclaw's dad- didn't exactly 'love' each other, they just both thought riverclan needed more warriors.
the three kits - ravenkit, ginerkit, and featherkit - weren't neglected, just they didn't give them much attention. ravenkit (ravenclaw) was the only one who just barely got a good grasp on embertail and managed to get a strong relationship with her. from young age ravenkit learned that the clan came first. when ravenkit became ravenpaw and a apprentice she was always the first to wake up and be ready for training. she took everything seriously, never letting her guard down. she trained hard and urged her siblings to take things seriously and that risking their life in order to safe the pack was the best thing to do. the other two siblings died from greencough at a very young age. ravenpaw was sad, yes, but kept going on as usual. things only went down hill from there though.
a couple weeks before ravenpaw was to be made warrior her mother was out by the twoleg's area. she knew she should be there, but she had been chasing a large rabbit and was determined to get it. an elderly couple saw the large she-cat in their backyard with no collar or tags and suspected she was homeless and was in need of a place like their house to live. they took her in and turned her into a kittypet, a house kittypet. when the couple dided shortly after their daughter took embertail and renamed her 'nala', moving to california with nala. ravenpaw was outraged when she heard. her mother turned into a kittypet. ravenpaw believed her mother was the best warrior in the forest - of course that was far from true - and having her turned into a kittypet was the worst thing imaginable.
well, when her father turned rogue was pretty close. ravenpaw, turned into ravenclaw and into a warrior. was loyal to her pack and believed the warrior code was to be followed at all times. she was 20 moons when her father thought differently for the first time. something changed in him. ravenclaw couldn't pinpoint the change but it was strong. he broke every possible part of the warrior code, becoming rogue. ravenclaw was known as 'the poor kit from the kittypet mom and rogue dad' from mostly everybody, and from those you didn't like her they would use that as ways to pick or tease her. ravenclaw had a strong shell on her and could block it out, but inside, she was hurting. she just had a good way of hiding it. all she wants is to be a good warrior and to forget about the past.
IC Example:
it was just past sunhigh, about 2:46 pm in twoleg time. the sun beat down giving it's warmth to the clans of the forest. the weather was okay for leaf-fall. the clouds gave no sign of rain fall anytime soon, but the clouds were unpredictable as was life and the way it ran. young ravenpaw knew this very well. who would have thought the young she-cat apprentice's mother would be taken by the twolegs? certainly not her that's for sure. who would have thought ravenclaw's father would go rouge? certainly not her. who would have thought ravenclaw would be the last of her family by the time she was 20 moons? certainly not her. if life could be that unpredictable, the weather certainly be.
yup, unpredictable. ravenclaw thought with a low hiss in the back of her throat as rain started to fall from the clouds and onto the ground. ravenclaw flicked her tail and shook the droplets of water off her black coat. the young black she-cat hated the rain. it made her fur fluff up and her tail incredibly .. big. ravenclaw wasn't one to care too much about her appearance, but, you gotta look your best to be your best right? that's how ravenclaw thought anyway. groaning, raveclaw licked at her shoulder to calm her fur. a squeak interrupted her grooming, ravenclaw whipped her head toward the sound, her ears perked and her blood started to swish in her veins. a mouse. it wasn't her time to hunt but, food was low and when you saw prey.. you pounced.
ravenclaw crouched down to the ground, stomach brushing the forest ground as she padded across the forest toward the mouse, ignoring the falling rain. the mouse was nibbling on a leaf absently. ravenclaw's eyes were locked on the mouse, the forest was silent. the she-cat was ever so careful of stepping on a twig or leaf. ravenclaw's tail flicked a little, she was ready. ravenclaw took a step, and ruined her hunt. a twig snapped under ravenclaw's paw. the mouse looked up, finally acknowledging the she-cat and started to run. the black she-cat took of in a run chasing the mouse, refusing to give up her hunt. her lean legs pumped, kicking leave ups behind her.
ravenclaw hissed and pounced. her paws just touched the mouse's back. it slipped from ravenclaw's weak grasp. "dammit!" ravenclaw hissed, standing up and shaking the leaves, mud, and water from her coat. ravenclaw felt disappointed, anger and walked back to camp. she lost her prey. she could just hope that the other warriors caught something.
