In-Depth:
Personality: Contrary to her name, Glacierpaw is a warm, cheerful young wolf. She does not pay much mind to the downs in her life and is easily excited by the ups. Happy go lucky would be a good term, though Glacierpaw thinks that leaping without first pausing to think is rather mouse-brained. The exuberent front hides a sharp, strategic mind that occasionally shows itself in her words and actions. Glacierpaw generally uses somewhat formal speech, only slipping into a more casual diction around her fellow apprentices and the pups. For a while as a pup, she wanted to be a healer due to her desire to help others. But, the young she-wolf was too attached to the rough playfights with other ArborClan pups to give it up for healing.
Appearance: Pitch. Ink. Colorless. Void of light. All are rather fancy names for the color of Glacierpaw's fur. The long, shaggy pelt is black, dotted with the occasional strand of white. Her muscles are wiry as opposed to bulky like her parents' were. Standing at a measly twenty-four inches, she's on the lowest end of the size scale, and the weight scale as well when it comes to the Clan's wolves. Her eyes are a deep navy color that almost appears black. They've been mistaken for black more than once, but once identified as blue Glacierpaw's eyes tend to haunt one's mind as filled with secrets and hidden depths. Due to her weight and height, the she-wolf is more of a lithe figure than a stocky canine, with long legs and a bushy tail.
History: Glacierpaw was born to Timber and the mate she kept secret until the last possible second, Bearclaw. The rogue had no time for a pregnant she-wolf, much less one or more helpless newborn pups. He left the area near the she-wolf's den, vanishing from Timber's life as easily as he'd entered it. Timber was cast into shame due to the questionable nature of her litter. When the time came to birth her pups, the healer coaxed the first pup, Glacier, out without undue complications. However, the second pup arrived in the world with its umbilical cord wrapped tightly around its neck and the stench of death already clinging to it. Silent was stillborn.
In her first moon, Glacier tried to cheer her mother up by attempting to take Silent's place as well; she gave up when it only caused Timber pain. Since her mother only saw her brother's still corpse- fur the same color, the same size, but without the slightest movement; without even learning the color of his eyes- she turned to the most enthusiastic parts of her personality and teased them out into the open.
Timber died in Glacier's third moon in a battle against a bear. When informed of her mother's death (and having only learned her father's name a quarter moon ago) the young she-wolf snorted and mentally shook her head at the irony. Felled in heart by Bearclaw, felled in body by the bear's claws. Glacier left the place of her birth and sought out a place whispered of in rumors, the home of the newfounded ArborClan.
Three moons later, Glacier became Glacierpaw and devoted herself to learing the ways of the warrior.
Other: As she gets older, Glacierpaw will become a bit of a flirt, both within and without ArborClan.
