deeper
She has a round face, unusually large for a she-cat, with wide green eyes. Her parents' eye color- it's hard to tell which one she inherited the color from, really. Her short fur, however, is from her father- as is her short stature. She does look quite like her father- save the white patterns.
Her fur color, however, and patterns come from both her parents. Her base is white, akin to her mother's, and she has a long patch of gray across her back, shoulders, neck, and head- akin to a cloak you would see on a two leg. Her hind legs are stark white, as are the rest of her legs, and her tail is pale gray with some lighter coloring towards the underside. The gray part of her fur, as well, is covered in darker stripes- making her a tabby in the end.
Her whiskers are white and long- and her nose and paw pads are deceptively pink.

Juniperpaw has taken a role upon herself since she was just a kit. She's the happy one. The optimistic one. She forces whatever bad feelings she has back behind a smile and continually stays upbeat. In a world where StarClan has forgotten them and her family is falling apart- you need some optimism, you know? At some point in her kithood Juniperpaw decided she would be that optimism.
It's cheesy, at times, and sickeningly sweet- but she keeps going on. She's always been idealistic, naive even, and continues to believe that if she acts nice enough- keeps everyones' heads up- that things will change soon. Mama- Hazelstorm will like Shrikestar again. They can move back into ShadowClan- everything will be alright again. Not that she really remembers a time when her mother acted like she loved her father- not that she can remember a time when StarClan was around- before the rift tore ShadowClan apart-
But she's a dreamer. And she wants to believe these things she never saw can happen again. It's endearing, at least, and sometimes annoying how she rarely adds any opinions to a conversation- less they be a good one.
She does have other opinions, however, and can be emotional- if you catch her alone you might find her sulking about the camp. Everything that has happened has had an affect on her- but she'll never let you know it.
» background : For a cat who thinks the world of her parents Juniperpaw didn't really see them much growing up. Her mother stayed in the nursery at least until Juniperpaw and her siblings were able to eat solid food- but after that Hazelstorm returned to her warrior duties. In her stead, Kestrelflower, Juniperpaw's grandmother, took her in. They were raised alongside their aunts and uncles who were only two moons older than them. Lark-kit and Finchkit were friendly buggers- they always allowed Juniperpaw, then kit, and her siblings to play with them. Even now Juniperpaw considers Larkpaw and Finchpaw part of the family. It was like they were all littermates.
Of course, even though Hazelstorm did not stay in the nursery, she did visit quite often. Duskfang, their aunt, would visit as well. It was not as if Juniperkit wanted for attention- but- well-
When her father visited, Shrikestar, as little as he did, Tawnykit would keep all of his attention. When Hazelstorm came Hawk-kit would monopolize her attention. And it was clear Tawnykit was Duskfang's favorite niece, as well. She didn't blame her siblings- they were wonderful cats- but- sometimes she felt left behind, that's all.
Her kithood was relatively normal, however, save the fact her parents never visited together and would often shoot each other harsh words when they would accidentally show up at the same time. There was unrest in the clan- and Juniperkit saw this very easily- but she was determined to make the best of it. Make her siblings and parents happy.
Her apprentice ceremony was normal. Her mentor was a cat unrelated to her mother's side of the family, careful picking on her father's half, and the first moon of her apprenticeship was easy enough. It was the second moon, however, when things took a turn for the worst. The rift and unrest that had been growing within the Clan came to head when two cats began to duke it out. It turned into an all-out Clan battle- siblings fighting siblings- and Juniperpaw ran to hide when the fighting initially began.
She was later found by her aunt, Duskfang, who took her away from the fighting. Hazelstorm had decided enough was enough- she and her followers were leaving- and her kits were coming with.
Looking back Juniperpaw is glad her mother made the choice for her- otherwise she's certain she wouldn't have been able to choose at all.
Life in the new camp has been- well alright. It's strange but- she supposes she will get use to it.[/ul]
