GENERAL
Name: Wind
Gender: she-cat
Age: 38 moons
Clan: loner
Rank: loner
APPEARANCE
Body Type: Wiry, skinny
Fur: dark brown
Eyes: yellow
Markings: barely visible black stripes
Overall: Long, wiry, and very, very skinny, Wind does not come off as a particularly threatening cat when seen from afar. Though long legs carry her above the heads of most other cats, her lightweight form and lack of bulky muscles makes her less-than-intimidating. However, a cat would be ridiculous to not count her as a threat. Wind's body is designed for fast running, her long brown tail acting as a rudder to guide her as she sprints across open land. Her muscles are long and lean, lacking bulk but operating effectively to make her faster than any other cat in the forest.
Barely visible most of the time, dark black stripes run across her body and down her shoulders. Her pelt is short and thin, perfect for minimizing drag while she runs, but does not provide much protection from cold leafbare chill. Pale yellow eyes gaze from her face, and her gaze is commonly sharp and bold.

HISTORY
Family: Sparrow (mother), Spruce (father)
History: A freezing leaffall wind shook the trees around the den Sparrow gave birth in, and therefore Spruce dubbed the single, tiny kit Wind. The kit was not supposed to live past her first leafbare. Sparrow was very weak after giving birth to her, but she managed to survive until Wind had finished nursing and begun to eat real meat. When her mother passed away, Wind was left to be raised by her father, Spruce.
Spruce taught Wind everything she knows. He is as tall and skinny as she, and the moment Wind was old enough to move long distances, they traveled to the open Moorlands, where they made a more permanent home in an abadoned badger sett. Hours upon hours of nearly every day were spent running across the open land, strengthening Wind's long muscles and, eventually, forming her into the fastest cat to walk the moors so far. Spruce taught her how to hunt and how to use her speed to fight, but few opportunities to test her skills came along up in the moorlands--few cats are fast enough to hunt the elusive rabbits.
At thirty moons old, Wind lives almost exclusively in the moorlands, although she occasionally wanders into the Woodlands. She and her father remain close, and often go on long runs together (although she is now faster than he).
