Cat Name: Dandelionbloom ( will be adding her to joining thread as well <3 just love this character and had planned on adding her months ago before I got busy at the end of last semester!)

Personality: When I think of Dandelionbloom I think of a Ravenclaw smashed together with a Hufflepuff. She is scholarly type of cat. Always wanting to learn something new. Curious about her surroundings and always seems to be fascinated by new pieces of information, different ways of life. Which would be her Ravenclaw side of thing, but she is also very much of a hufflepuff. The Friend of everyone tries to befriend even the grumpiest of cats. Has the patience to handle working with a team. She is a loyal friend and would stand up for her friends even if that goes against what is right. Dandelionbloom is also a honest cat even if the honest truth hurts. She won't sugar coat things because she hates lying. She also believes in fairness and likes to see the two sides of every story. Dandelionbloom also has a problem where she tries to take everything on at once not realizing she is biting off more than she can handle. Is could be her trying to solve all of the worlds problems, but not have answers for them. She also has a pretty steamy rivalry/rocky relationship with her sister Stormyshore. One that has steamed from their childhood, but its more along the lines of them always wanting to out compete each other. Like who caught the most prey. Who can swim the furthest. Also a fun fact about Dandelionbloom while she will call her sister's bluff when it comes to dares. She is terrified of swimming/water which is fact she likes to try keep to herself even if she isn't very good at hiding it.

What's the best thing your cat would bring to the table as deputy?:
Since Dandelionbloom lived with just her traveling family group. She is used to this style of nomadic life. Her grandfather was a former clan cat so he raised his children and grandchildren with stories about Brookclan and Starclan. So she has a sort of grasp on the customs. Because her grandfather was trying to avoid Brookclan Dandelionbloom has traveled to many places. While her family group is smaller she has learned to work within a group. And also how to care for others by considering the health and safety of others in her group. She has seen many places on these family travels. From these places she has learned knowledge about various places to find prey, how to avoid predators or even how to deal with them. She was also not born in Swiftclan so she would have an outsiders perspective. Which means she could connect to all of the newer rogues/loners/kittypets that join Swiftclan while they are on their travels to new places. But because she only knows brief information about Brookclan she would be fascinated to learn from all of the older members of the Clan. What life was like in Earthclan or even Waterclan. She would learn to respect their ways of life and consider how they must be feeling living in this nomadic style of life.

Why might Beestar not want to promote your cat?: She is a newer cat to Swiftclan, so Beestar might not see her as trust worthy if he cares about that sort of thing. She was raised on some brief ideas of what clan life was from stories past down from her grandparents and her parents. She is trying to adapt to Swiftclan's life style which wasn't very different from the way she was living previously, but it is on a much larger scale which she isn't use is and is trying to adapt to. So she might not be adapted to Swiftclan entirely at this point.

Why do YOU want this position?: I've always adored the Survival Clans something about them interested me. Which is why I probably became deputy and than later leader of Brookclan and than Earthclan. I feel that same connection with Swiftclan. It is almost that little bit of nostalgia feeling with a new experience twisted in. I was very excited when this clan was created it became a place where I could put my former Survival Clan characters. Other clans on the site didn't feel right for them and this one became home. I do love the opportunities Swiftclan offers when it comes to roleplay. While I was unable to part take in the cross server plot that Swiftclan is apart, because of end of the semester finals. I really wish I had been able to partake in it, because it looked really interesting from the replies I saw! Speaking of which another reason why I love Swiftclan is this clan is nomadic which means they move a lot. I find that aspect the fact they have scouts and their warning system to be very unique! I believe that allows this clan such a wide range of opportunities for plots. And a wide range of plots that involve them interacting with all of the other clans and groups on Classic, because they are not really tied to any certain territory. Not to mention Swiftclan is where one of my favorite Classic families is located. I have a lot of memories surrounding the Swiftriver family and it's become one of my favorite families to be apart.
