Login Name: Cloudleap Desired Clan: FieldClan Desired Ranking: Warrior Desired Character Age: 14 moons Preferred Warrior Name: Cloudleap Cloud originates from her fluffy white fur, and leap describes her exceptional jumping skill. Gender: She-cat Reference Photo: http://www.flickr.com/photos/t-y-k/2595567369/in/set-72157609234143999/ Physical Description: She has a dainty build, most of her bulk resides in her hind legs. Her fur tufts out in cloud-like tufts, all of the fluff gives her the appearance of being much larger. She has a long bushy tail, and it sways about swiftly and noisily, just for fun. Her eyes are a rare, ice blue. They flicker with a wintry liveliness, anything but cold. A round, not too long muzzle sticks out from her feminine, pretty, circular face. Tufts of extra fluff stick out off from her cheeks. Her ears are medium in size, not too large nor too small. Despite the lack of build to her forelimbs, they're not stubby, and lean more towards being lengthy than not. Her hind limbs are just as long, however they look filled out, and less lanky. Furcadia Description: (I'm still working on my description. I promise I'll have it finished soon.) Summarized Description: A fluffy white she-cat with icy blue eyes. History: Cloudleap was born to a mother she cannot remember. The clan was too devastated to even relay her mother's name to her. When she was in labor with Cloudleap, she had lost too much blood. Surprisingly, Cloudleap was born healthy, although the combined colors of her fur and eyes worried the clan. She was suspected to be deaf, but she soon showed signs that she was hearing the words spoken to her. Another queen nursed Cloudleap, although the queen had three other kits to feed, being the only kit of her litter, she was taken in. Besides that the LilyClan she-kit had been quite normal, she play-fought with the other kits, and especially loved hunting bugs. From the moment she was able to walk she was leaping and soaring through the air was far and high as she could. One of the ultimate challenges a kit could face, catching a butterfly, was a simple task to her. She could jump like no other cat in the clan. Soon she was given her mentor, and completed training without too many problems. She was a very attentive and enthusiastic student, however her dainty build prevented her from dealing out maximum damage. Her hunting was exceptional, drawing from her special skill in jumping. When Cloudpaw was named a warrior, she was named for this skill. She had been renowned through her whole clan for this ability, as it was a wonderful gift. She was named Cloudleap, for she could leap so high it looked as if she touched the clouds she was named for. Personality: Cloudleap is kit-like in her enthusiasm, with sparkle of wonder shining through her wintry gaze. She is dreamy, and sometimes completely clueless of situations through her daydreaming. She is very active, loving to run and jump through LilyClan territory. Cloudleap doesn't ever think to look for a mate, or even about having one. She's not against the idea, it just never occurs to her. She's independent, but not very optimistic. However, she will still do her best in a bad situation, just expecting the worst. This could put her as brave, but its really a sense of loyalty. Website (if applicable): N/A Sample Roleplay Post(s): Cloudleap trotted out of the warrior's den, stretching her long limbs out in front of her, while her back arched up. Sandpaper tongue would push back in a yawn, a splash of pink through her glistening pearly whites. Dawn rays were emerging on the horizon, illuminating the sky to a lighter blue. Her wintry eyes would gaze out at the camp, it seemed no cat was awake. She turned towards the sky, oh how she longed to soar through the clouds! She was an exceptional jumper, but Cloudleap had always wanted to fly through the air, maybe have wings like the birds. Her legs began to carry her body out of the camp, paws pressing against the icy ground. The snow sent chills down her spine, the freezing blanket of snow was a sharp texture against her soft pink pads. Her tail waved behind her, the tip turned brown with all of the dust brushing against it. Her jaws parted, the frigid air filling her lungs burned intensely. Along with that came the strong smell of prey. Her ears flicked, and eyes darted to focus on a plump mouse scuttling along the roots of a tree. She instinctively crouched, her paws pressed evenly with the weight placed in her flank. Her tail stuck out straight, to avoid making noise or being visible. She stalked around until she was completely downwind of the rodent. Whiskers twitched, getting the final bearings of her prey. Paws loped forward, her eyes then glowed and her rump wiggled; in preparation to pouncing. She leaped fast, clearing the extensive gap she allowed between her and the mouse. Hardly a noise erupted from her paws, and she landed her left paws squarely upon the mouse's round body. The squirming below her pads tickled, so she would lunge her jaws down to grasp around the rodent's neck. A silent gasp ran from the prey's tiny maw, its eyes forever bugged open. Frozen in time. She licked the blood clean off of the mouse's neck, and raised herself onto all fours once more. She trotted back to the camp, content with the morning's kill. She placed the plump body upon the pile, then found a comfortable spot to rest. Do you have any other characters in the dream? If so, who? Nope, no one. Edited by Cloudleap, Jan 8 2010, 04:36 PM.

Apprentices become warriors at at least 14 moons, if you could bump the age up one that'd be great. |

I personally don’t think Cloudleap really makes a whole lot of sense. The reasoning for it has some merit and prefix and the suffix on their own are fine, but together they just sound awkward. If you want to use the –leap suffix, some good names could be Quickleap, Tall-leap or Swiftleap.
Honestly I kind of feel like that gives her a mary-sue vibe. Some cats can be great at jumping and whatnot, but I don’t think all of the clans are going to automatically stop and say to themselves ‘She’s an exceptionally good jumper!’. Most cats outside of LilyClan probably wouldn’t pay much attention to it.
From the Rules page. Did you talk with Eye before applying? Because Fresh told me that you didn’t contact to her in any way asking to apply for a blue eyed white cat. Staff agreed to occasionally let one blue eyed white cat in now and then, but it would be appreciated if you told us that you have at least been given permission from at least one of the two staff members mentioned above. |

I already went over how I felt about the name in the OOC, and I still stand beside the feeling that alone the prefix/suffix are alright on their own, but together feel misplaced. Swift named some good alternatives that fit the suffix better if you're attached to it. :3 I also agree with Swift's point on the 'renowned through the clans' thing. Sandstar, for example, would care about as much as she cares for StreamClan. That's not a lot. And, also agree with the point made about contacting me or Eyebright. I don't know if you talked to her directly and got direct permission, but I would have liked a heads up as well if she did give permission. I'm just letting you know it would have been preferred more, but seeing as how I am Freshkill, I'm placing an official allowance here to allow this cat be white with blue eyes and have no auditory defects. I don't see much else wrong with it.

I edited the one part, but I'd really wish to keep her name. I understand Swiftleap and such similar names may make more sense, but I fail to understand who would name their kit Swiftkit? Kits are named for their appearance, and she had white fluffy fur. She couldn't be named for being swift, because how can a kit be swift when it's born?

Swift- could be used for a kit who, even when born, shows an amount of eagerness for the amount of stimuli they receive. Some kits are more active than others, and even when newly born. I've seen kits that are content with just laying around, and I've seen squirmers who were full of energy and voice who were very eager and fast about getting on their paws and running once they got old enough. Besides, if she's well known for the ability in the clan, it's not unusual for a leader to rename a cat for their skills. She could have been Cloudfur and renamed Swift/Tall/Quick -leap for her physical attribute. |

Yes, but Cloudleap makes more sense than you can see. She can leap high, as if she's soaring into the clouds. It would be the equivalent to naming her Highleap or Tall-leap. |

Seeing as how Lily lives in a tree-dense area (intended to be much denser than the appearance in the dream allows, as too much tree cover wouldn't let you see any cats at all) they wouldn't see the clouds much anyway. If she were a FieldClan cat, it would make more sense. As a LilyClan cat, seeing as how their region is not very open, she wouldn't leap high enough to soar to the clouds, as the tree cover gets in the way. I still stand firm in my opinion that, as a Lily cat, Cloudleap does not make any sense. In an open region, yea, then I'd understand more. ( I've been doing this long enough, I think I know how to see sense in a name. )

So if I made her a FieldClan cat and made another character/alt for a LilyClan cat, the name would be accepted? |

Most likely, as it would have full sense in the reasoning behind it. :3 |

Cloud did discuss the eye color with me and a few patrons before attempting an application, though she did not obtain permission at that time. There is a note in the staff forums no one seems to be responding to yet, so I'm not sure you lot have seen it. I usually deal with FieldClan's applications. This application has my approval if there are no further complaints from the other staff. As the FieldClan applications are kept on a seperate forum and have no filing area on the main dream forums, this will be moved to the main "approved applications" section upon consent from either Sandstar/Freshkill or at least two General Staff members, and a copy will be made for FieldClan's records. I appologize for the miscommunication. If there are any further troubles, feel free to contact me via Email (listed on the dream website), as I am more easily able to check it at frequent intervals. |

As there has been no contest to this application in the past 4 days, I am calling it approved. |
