I. appearance
build » Apart from his constant emotional shivering and cowering and his fear-stricken eyes, Littlemouse is a cat with a build to match, a short step away from being lanky if it weren't for his shrunken size. In general he is a lithe and agile cat even though he may not harness his own alacrity. The layout of his head is a simple map: small like that of an orange with a long, roman nose. His muzzle is reminiscent of a mouse with it's thin look and long whiskers sprouting from them. The bridge of his nose is slightly inflated but as it reaches the area between his eyes it flattens. Littlemouse's ears curve at the inner edge closest to the tip of his head in an odd manner. Much like an elf's in one way or another. The tom's ears are nearly twice the size of his own head, emphasizing how small cranium and enlarging the two ovals on his face. His eyes are wide and look almost as if he lacks eyelids to begin with, never blinking and seemingly always watching. This trait gives him his trademark look of always looking fearful and afraid, though that doesn't stray far from the truth. The tom can hardly look a sparrow in the eye without freezing up. Littlemouse wasn't given his name to poke fun at him, it truly suits his skittish personality and rodent-like looks.
Littlemouse's neck is a field of curly fur that seem to appear in neat rows along his entire body. Soft and a random, patchy field of marking. The base structure of his neck, like the rest of his body, is thin but still twice the size of his sticks for legs. The tom may look like a cat without much muscle and that is the near truth, though as a warrior living in a warrior, he has surely conjured up some sort of able body. He is most definitely not the strongest cat in the clan but his imaginative mind makes up for that. Littlemouse's shoulders are long and narrow, connecting thinner legs. He is shorter than most with tiny paws and petite legs. His body is covered in a thin layer of curled coverage which serves him poorly as he is almost never warm when a breeze is present and thus, Littlemouse is a cat that is always shivering and shaking though whether from fear or the weather, no cat is ever really able to decipher. Littlemouse's chest is bony in appearance and blends smoothly along with the rest of his structure. The long and rat-like tail sits at the base of his behind and always appears low, giving him an even greater look of fright.
pelt » The main coverage of Littlemouse's distasteful body is a soft white with patches of black covering a great length of his head and back. It makes appear to look no more than a kitty-pet which he may as well be. His ears are a dark with a pale, very diluted red in the inside. Littlemouse's face is a cover of mostly black though white does creep up from the undersides of him. Littlemouse's back is like a shadow, stretching down to his tail and up to his shoulders.
Littlemouse's bright and seemingly curious deep yellow eyes are always wide. It seems there is never a time when this cat is calm.
ii. personality skittish » It is not often that you see this cat on the battle field and with good reason, too. Easily scared and not at all as ambitious to fight with tooth and claw as others are, Littlemouse prefers to take the defensive end of things if having to fight at all. Really, he would much rather resort to peaceful words without face-to-face conflict though even that is a bit too much for his fragile little heart. Many are surprised he chose to continue down the path of a warrior rather than take up the duties of a medicine cat where fighting is nearly obsolete however Littlemouse's problem with that is the constant sight of blood and other sensitive matters. To him, it seems as if he doesn't fit really anywhere but he really does do his best to live up to his clanmates' standards of living. Because of his lack of self-confidence, there are many times that Littlemouse is teased, mocked, and made fun of as even the littlest of things are a fright fest to him. Mouse, beetle, a falling leaf, you name it, Littlemouse will find the worst in it to be afraid of.
friendly » Though nervous and skittish alike, that doesn't mean Littlemouse is a hermit that never leaves his nest... for the most part. Putting aside the fearful beings that lurk in the midst of the treeline, Littlemouse does enjoy interacting with his fellow clanmates when he can muster up the courage to. Perhaps not the most eloquent in speech, conversation can still be enjoyable with this little fellow if you have the time to spare for his constant speech impediment involving a plentiful amount of stuttering between words. While he's not the strongest not the fastest cat in the forest, his company can be uplifting as he does try to see the brighter side of things when the moment calls for it.
clumsy » Not only is he skittish in the battle field (as well as in camp) but he is undoubtedly one of the clumsiest cats around. Its not so much that he is completely unobservant of his surroundings, it seems that bad luck has claimed his life to play with. Littlemouse suffers more often than not from the embarrassment of tripping over twigs or even his own paws which aren't even that big to begin with. Fortunately for the small cat, though, not many cats have their eyes on the below average cat half the time so his own misfortunes go unnoticed as is. Still, Littlemouse does value himself as a cat so who wouldn't turn red in the face if you catch yourself literally falling head over heels from tripping over your own steps? Perhaps in some ways Littlemouse considers this a blessing from Starclan because he is usually kept in camp from border skirmishes and battles due to his ability to twist himself in a knot. Not many have seen the tom try to fight but its a spectacle when he tries. Half the time he ends up fighting himself in a spur of the moment.
