Amphibiuary Day 29: Leap
Tumblr media
A day late because I was both stuck for ideas and unwell yesterday. This morning, my mum told me she dreamt that I had drawn a frog doing a high jump, so thanks to her dreamscape for this one! (it's a pumpkin toadlet because they have a habit of flipping over backwards when they jump because their tiny ear canals mess with their balance!)

-flight, -step, -fall, and -leap
SWANFLIGHT
Prerequisite Traits
Appearance: White fur, and large in stature.
Personality and/or Behavior: Graceful, aggressive, and loyal.
Additional Traits
Like their namesake, a cat that qualifies for Swanflight is massive. (Quite literally, although exceptions are sometimes made for Swan- cats with average sizes and large personalities.) With that size comes an aggressive nature, which manifests as either territoriality, suspicion of outsiders, or protectiveness of their kits. These cats are generally regarded as fearless in the face of arguments or combat, and they have a tendency to attack first, ask questions later. It takes considerable effort from their mentors to train this behavior out of them (or at the least, teach them how to rein it in). Cats with this name are usually the first to take the initiative on tasks, like volunteering for patrols. They also have a steadfast, unwavering devotion to their mates. While this isn’t unusual in a society that’s primarily monogamous, Swanflight cats are the most demonstrative of their relationship. A Swan- cat that qualifies for -flight tends to overlap with -claw and -flower. In ThunderClan especially, Swanflight can be interchangeable with -face, since combat prowess and large statures are the ideal beauty standard. Conversely, Swanflight is virtually nonexistent in ShadowClan, since white fur and tallness are rare in this territory. It’s nearly a guarantee that a ShadowClan cat with that name is either an outsider, or of mixed heritage.

MOUSESTEP
Prerequisite Traits
Appearance: Brown fur, and small in stature.
Personality and/or Behavior: Inquisitive, cautious, and easily startled.
Additional Traits
Mousestep cats have a curious nature that’s at odds with their flightiness. It has little to do with cowardice—rather, they possess an innate sense of danger, and excellent self-preservation instincts. Coupled with their above average speed and reflexes, they demonstrate an aptitude for scouting, and will sometimes qualify for -leg or -shade. They’re highly flexible cats, comfortable in a wide range of habitats which they can acclimate to with little hassle. Their dietary choices are often a reflection of their adaptability—they’re not, as a rule, picky eaters, and they have adventurous appetites. Although all of the Clans have a preference for nocturnal activity, a Mousestep cat epitomizes this. Their eyes are somewhat photosensitive, and they’re averse to bright lights. A high-pitched voice can sometimes be enough to override one of the other prerequisite -step traits, due to its heavy association with mice in folklore.
-
SHEEPSTEP
Prerequisite Traits
Appearance: [1] Pure white fur, [2] pitch-black fur, or [3] patched black-and-white fur.
Personality and/or Behavior: Polite, obedient, and quick to flee.
Additional Traits
Generally speaking, these cats are very in tune with their Clans, and have a great awareness of internal schisms. That perception, however, seldom translates to an ability to soothe them over. Sheepstep cats are actually conflict-avoidant, and their sensitivity to in-group tension makes them nervous. These cats are most at ease in groups that are stable or tightly-knit (like WindClan). They have a strong inclination to follow authority figures, particularly those that are stalwart or charismatic. It’s been said that when a leader is having a hard time choosing a deputy, a Sheepstep cat is consulted for their input, since they can reliably vet candidates. If a situation becomes extremely dangerous, these cats will typically be the first to either flee or call for a retreat. Although it’s not a requirement for this suffix, a Sheepstep cat is likely to have thick or dense fur that can handle being wet. Statistically, RiverClan is the most likely to produce a Sheepstep, for several reasons: of all the Clans, they tend to have the most white in their fur, with white patching being highly prevalent; their proximity to the pasture makes sheep a common sight, and thus a recurring prefix for kittens; and lastly, their waterproof double-coat is extremely similar to a sheep’s wool.
-
LIGHTNINGFALL
Prerequisite Traits
Appearance: [1] Pure white fur, or [2] yellow fur.
Personality and/or Behavior: Impulsive, intense, and fast.
Additional Traits
It’s a common stereotype that Lightningfall cats are dramatic, although it would be more accurate to say that they stand out in some manner. It’s their sudden tendency to go from unnoticed, to the center of attention, that is their hallmark. Like the abruptness of a lightning strike, which arrives without ceremony, and illuminates everything in its fleeting presence. Their actions are largely unpredictable, save to those who know how to read and recognize them. That being said, they’re not capricious or fickle cats, although to an observer it might seem that way. There’s a recurring misconception that Lightningfall cats qualify for -storm, even though they lack the characteristic turbulence and emotional mood swings. What defines them is their ability to command the undivided attention of a crowd, using a single action or a mere word, without any warning.
-
MINNOWLEAP
Prerequisite Traits
Appearance: Short and slender, with one of the following pelt colors: [1] light gray tabby, [2] silver tabby, or [3] light brown tabby.
Personality and/or Behavior: Cooperative, sociable, and intuitive.
Additional Traits
Their stature compliments their reflexes and speed (the latter of which is better suited to sprinting or short bursts, rather than endurance running). Much like a Starlingflight cat, a Minnowleap excels in synchronizing their movements with those of the cats around them, making them highly effective at teamwork. They also enjoy being immersed in busy or large crowds, and thrive on the liveliness that they so easily navigate. Minnowleap cats are nearly always part of their Clan’s Gathering party, since their presence helps reduce tension on waking nights. (And because they’re good at picking up on subtle cues, and accurately gauging the other Clans’ overall mood—be it amiable or aggressive.) They tend to have excellent recognition skills—whether olfactory or visual—which makes them useful diplomats and liaisons. (Or spies, once they’ve familiarized themselves with an enemy’s territory, and learn how to get around it undetected.) It’s best not to underestimate these cats, or be fooled by their size.
