Brief Description: 
Cuckoostride is a bit smaller than average, but most of the time they try to make up for it with a loud voice and a straight spine. They have long wavy fur around their haunches and belly, and their tail is long and fluffy. They are ever so slightly underweight, though it's hidden under mounds of fluff. Their fur is smooth and soft and they shed a whole bunch. During the winter and windy evenings on the moor, they are thankful for their thick, supple fur. Oftentimes, their denmates used them as a heater as they were hardly ever cold. Unfortunately, their fur also requires quite a bit of grooming to keep decently clean. Sometimes, they will even skip nap time in order to keep their pelt spotless, cleanliness being rather important to them in the long run. Their light colored pelt helps them in the winter as well as on the moor-like land of their territory. 

Body Type: 
Slightly underweight, Cuckoostride is just under normal for nearly everything. They are slightly shorter and slightly lighter than most other female apprentices. They have long legs comparatively to their body, and though their fur is heavy and thick, they are rather fast. Through rigorous training, they have been able to increase their endurance to the point of it being one of their strongest points. They can run quickly for a long period of time, and though they lack brute strength, they are quick and flexible as a viper. They make use of their speed and ability to tactically analyze the situation in order to hunt better considering that they aren't very strong. Their eyesight isn't the best, and oftentimes they rely more on hearing and scent to catch prey. Unfortunately, this results in accuracy mistakes. 

-Scars: Small scars on their shoulders from running into a bramble bush when they were young. Not visible through their fur. 

Voice: High, clear

Other:
-Cuckoopaw is the first cat I've ever made that's named after a bird other than Raven
-They are also the first agender cat Ive made, but not the first agender character
-They were a total impulse character, but I have good luck with those it seems, so...
-They were going to be based off of Killua from HunterXHunter, but TBH that did not happen. Oh well. 


|| Personality ||

[ :bulletgreen: Confident|:bulletgreen: Intelligent|:bulletgreen: Adventurous|:bulletyellow: Curious|:bulletyellow: Extroverted|:bulletred: Cocky|:bulletred: Self-righteous|:bulletred: Coercive]

[Confident]
Cuckoo is, by virtue of the fact that they are smart, confident that their way is best and that they ought to be the one doing the leading. Even though this sometimes causes fighting or misdirection, they know how to take control of a situation that's hectic and make it feel, at the very least, like they know what they're doing. They don't panic easily and tend to feel prepared in any situation no matter how prepared they really are. They try and make it so that others do not panic in tight situations and is certainly one to say things like, 'Ive got this, darling. No worries, just relax. Everything will be fine'. 

[Intelligent]
Cuckoo is intelligent, knowing how to plan and use tactical advantages like higher ground and underbrush to their advantage. They can read people reasonably well and tend to use that to make friends. They love to be challenged mentally, taking mind games and riddles to heart. They do showboat their intelligence, though their ability to puzzle things out has little to do with their knowledge of things. Straight facts tend to bore them, so they aren't very knowledgeable. They like the abstract. Puzzling about what they cannot see and what the world means- things of that nature. 

[Adventurous]
The world, as Cuckoo sees it, is something to be explored. Oftentimes they will sneak out of camp and go sniffing about, enjoying the wind and absorbing the nature around them. The love seeing new things and are incredibly excited for Leaf-fall to roll around so that they can see all the colors. Cuckoo adores seeing new things and sharing that experience with others. After all, it's not an adventure without all your friends at your back!

[Curious]
Weather it's what Starclan means or what's the color of that bug, Cuckoo wants to know. They love seeing new things and learning about their surroundings, though they prefer to look for themselves rather than be taught. They feel as though they are competent enough to learn on their own even though they enjoy the company of a party. Indeed, in their ideal situation, they would be leading a group about and teaching them about all the things that they learned when they came there beforehand. They love teaching and learning. 

[Extroverted]
Cuckoo adores spending time with other people and sharing their experiences. They tend to speak loudly, their voice getting high whenever they're trying to intentionally speak over others. They love being the center of attention and entertaining others as well as being admired, either for their appearances or their accomplishments. They love making new friends and talking about thoughts with others. If the other cat is interesting enough, they may even shut their mouth long enough to hear the other cat talk. 

[Cocky]
It's not exactly a secret that Cuckoo thinks highly of themself. They consider their accomplishments in leu of their amazing talent and tend to chalk up other's accomplishments to good luck or chance, and can be found grumbling bad-naturedly whenever anyone is publicly recognized for something that they 'could have done so much better.' They love getting attention and being praised for their accomplishments, no matter how small. They tend to take on challenges too big for them in an attempt to look good for others.

[Self-righteous]
Cuckoo has the mentality that, if they think it's a good idea, then it's a good idea. They think very highly of their own actions and often end up being hypocritical, telling others that they cannot do something before turning around and doing it themselves. Cuckoo hates being told that they're wrong and often fails to accept criticisms, no matter how nicely delivered. They only accept criticism from those they deem better than themself, like Reedstar and occasionally Brazenspirit, and even then they strive wholeheartedly to achieve anything they perceive themselves as lacking. 

[Coercive]
Being the loud and oftentimes intimidating cat that Cuckoo is, they have a way of making others do what they want, usually through threats. Especially if caught doing something against the rules, Cuckoo will often bully the other cat into doing what they want, whether it's sneaking out at night and going on an adventure or lying about breaking the rules. Cuckoo loves being the 'big boss' and having others listen to them,especially when they're smaller than the other. It makes them feel as though they could do anything with the right words.

|| Biography ||

|Prior to Birth|
Cobrastrike was a good warrior, one his mate Cherrypit loved very much. He was a massive cat, Maine Coon almost through and through, and was strong as the rocks in the ground. When he and Cherrypit decided to have their first litter, it was with hesitance. Cherrypit's mother had died in kitting, after all, and small sickly litters ran in her family. Still, they hoped for the best. The pregnancy was hard on both of them seeing as Cobrastrike had been injured by a raven a little after Cherrypit got the confirmation that she was with kits. He spent a good deal of her pregnancy fighting an infection in the medicine cat den, and recovered just in time for his kits to be born. The litter was, as predicted, small and sickly. Three little female kits, two with short fur and one with long. They were named Berrykit, Frostkit and Cuckookit. 

|Kitten|
It was pretty clear that, from an early age, Cuckookit was the healthiest in her litter. Her sisters hardly ever got up and played with her like she wanted to, and oftentimes found herself playing alone. From an early age, Cuckoo discovered that she was not a girl and then went about telling everyone just that. Their kit-ship was more or less un-eventful, though a month after they were born, their sisters were killed by a sweep through of greencough. They were fragile and the medicine cat had predicted that they wouldn't make it far anyways, and Cuckookit will say to this day that she didn't like them much anyways. Too boring. Still, the death of their sisters devastated them and they decided never to let another one of their loved ones die again if they could help it. Unfortunately, a month before Cuckoo was given their apprentice name, their father was killed, ironically, by a snake bite. He had been bitten on a boarder patrol and had been unable to get back in time to receive any kind of treatment. Cuckoo hates snakes. 

|Apprentice|
Being an apprentice, of course, was one of the most liberating things that they had ever experienced. Quickly, they adapted to the amazing freedom, stretching the rules to go out at night and simply run free along the plains as if they could grow wings and soar if they tried hard enough. They butted head with brazenpaw, made friends with Desertpaw and, overall, had a blast. They trained day and night, wearing out their frail body until they couldn't move anymore. They worked what they had been given so hard that thin, weak muscle turned into lean, hard strength. They found their their lungs no longer burned when they ran, and that they could go about the whole territory before they got tired. They finally felt what it was like to be strong- to win- and it fueled them. Not only did they want to be a good warrior- the best warrior, but Cuckoopaw was determined to make it big. They were determined to make their old mentor proud and to, someday, succeed him. Though the thought of leading a clan was daunting, they were sure that they would do a good job- after all, some were just meant for greatness!!

Of course, with every golden trail there's a pebble in the paw. Not only did they make their fair share of enemies, but Cuckoopaw's relationship with their mother crumpled the day for their naming ceremony. Feeling more alone than ever, Cuckoopaw stuck closer to Brazenpaw that he was probably comfortable with, feeling as though the whole time they sat there, Cuckoopaw would be consumed by flames or something like that. In any case, it wasn't a fun time. However, after so much long, hard work, Cuckoopaw was gifted with a new name- Cuckoostride.

|Adult Warrior|
(updated May 29th 2016)
At first, Cuckoostride lived the life of a warrior that they had always dreamed of. And, indeed, not much changed from their apprentice days. They still competed endlessly with Brazenspirit to see who was better, and their opposing personalities and abilities making the competition somewhat perilous. Cuckoostride's speed was the only thing that kept them from Brazenspirit's immense strength, and so they seemingly danced in an endless circle around one another. But then, though Brazenspirit's efforts to surpass them certainly did not cease, he seemed... distracted. They were young adults now, after all, and on the mind of many was romance. Deadclaw, an apprentice that had been a little younger than Brazenspirit and Cuckoostride, entered the picture then, and it was just about as clear as day that Brazenspirit was interested in her. Regardless of how they deny it, Cuckoostride was incredibly jealous of this change of direction. 

And then, just as they were starting to become frustrated with their own relationships, the attacks on their boarder started to become more and more disturbing. Cats were being found dead on the Shadowclan boarder without any explanation, and it was driving Cuckoostride up the wall- especially when Croockedstar, the leader of Shadowclan, refused to speak of it during the gatherings. They had had it with all these politics and ignorance. With a conviction that only grew stronger day by day, Cuckoostride started to think.

RP Example:

From Pocket-Felines 

Bart peered over the edge of the crater, looking at Daedalus as he stared at the shard of... whatever it was. He seemed to be looking very hard at it, though Bart couldn't see anything besides the light emanating from it. The steam had stopped rising from it, so ze could assume that it had cooled enough to transport. Though it seemed to have a power to it, the stone itself was almost... alluring. Ze watched it closely, and soon after found hirself unable to look away. There was something undoubtably magical about the rock, shining and bright. ze really wanted to touch it- to feel the power that spread through the air so willingly, available to anyone if they just had the chance...

But Daedalus' words brought hir mind back to where it ought to be. 'That was... strange.' ze thought to hirself, nodding and sitting to pull the other sock off of hir leg. The chill air touched hir bare skin and cause hir fur to fluff out a bit, a shiver traveling up hir spine from the sensory input all around her. But what he said made sense- Dae could see energy- he had presented that idea to hir when they had first met and when he had been checking out hir newly crippled leg- and so therefore he must know what sort of something was making the air feel so dense around the rock. 

"alright, but I think that you'll have to help me. It looks like it's heavy. We can probably sling it between us." ze said, sliding down the side of the small crater and bestowing hir sock unto the other. It was going to get so stretched out carrying this thing- it had to be heavy if it's maximum velocity was enough to make this massive of a crater- but that was really the least of hir worries. besides, ze had so many socks already that the loss wouldn't be too drastic. 

Setting the sock on top of the rock, ze puzzled over how they could move it all without touching the actual rock itself. Ze needed more socks. 

"I can go get more socks... or maybe a stretcher would be better because of how heavy it is." ze suggested. Not to mention easier to carry. They really could just prop the stretcher on their backs and carry it that way. Or... they could get another cat to help them! Really there were quite a few options
