Breezepaw

Breezepaw is a solid white, semi-longhair cat with blue eyes; she looks very similar to a Turkish Angora, but with different ears.

Personality
Breezepaw is very determined, energetic, and ambitious. She is prideful and doesn't care what others think, though that is, in part, a façade to hide some of her more negative feelings. She wants to prove to others that she is capable, even if they don't believe her.

She is jealous of her clanmates, who can easily hear and communicate with each other while she struggles to learn even the basics of living in the only place she has ever known. Sometimes she comes across as resentful or aggressive because of bullies and because of those cats who seem to look down on her.

Breezepaw is incredibly observant, which she has to be to keep up with other apprentices. She is also very witty and creative, and passionate in her beliefs, though she has limited experience with the world or others.

Breezepaw never gives up with anything she starts, and always tries to find ways around her disability even when few others are willing to learn how to read or communicate with her.

History
Breezekit was born in Treeclan, the only survivor in a litter of four. Her mother died giving birth, so Breezekit was nursed by another queen.

When her ears and eyes opened, the cats around her quickly realized that she was born deaf. A lot of cats looked down on her, and she noticed very early on how others seemed to communicate with each other much differently than she did.

Breezekit was always left out from the other kittens, though a few, of course, were exceptions. She always found herself trying to keep up with them, but only felt herself falling behind. She knew she lived with lots of other cats, but she didn't know any of their names or the rank they held in the clan. She knew she couldn't go in most other dens, but she didn't know why. She learned that cats left at dawn and dusk, and sometimes the clan left to some strange place where they picked up foreign cat scents. She didn't know why they did most of what they did, she didn't know how the clan operated, and she didn't know how to communicate like they could with each other.

Sign language did exist in the clans, but she never learned it. When Breezepaw was around three moons old, having only been observing others for about a moon, a harsh winter preoccupied the cats around her, keeping them out of camp and preventing those who could teach her useful information busy with other tasks. By the time she became an apprentice, those who knew the language had died, so she taught herself almost all the words she knew. Most she only taught herself after becoming an apprentice, by pointing to a noun and showing anyone who would listen a sign she came up with for said object. Not nearly enough language to hold an actual conversation. Some actions also have words, though most she communicates through simply doing said action.

One day, perhaps she will meet someone from another clan who remembers Clan Sign Language and is willing to teach her. Until then, she thankfully has her best friend Lamepaw and her mentor Darkpool to support and listen to her.
