Shrimp is a pudgy orange tom with green eyes and burnt orange tabby markings.​

Shrimp packs more bounce to the ounce than a mossball could ever aspire to. Underneath all that marmalade fur is a well-fed tom whose cheeks could give the most supine kittypet some stiff competition. There's a noticeable roundness to his face, and it carries a childlike innocence about it; and those green eyes of his tend to glisten with excitement at the smallest of things. Shrimp is chummy and gentle, and his gait reflects that. Slow-going until he absolutely has to pick up the pace, his motions are typically laden with a relaxed and leisurely cadence.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Shrimp is best known for being approachable and genuine to an absolute fault. If the opportunity to offer reassurance is within paw's reach, to settle the mind or comfort the heart, then he's likely to seize that moment. Not to say that he's particularly thoughtful, howeverβ€”he's a fairly simple cat, but sometimes simplicity is enough to set one at ease. He's not overly opinionated, and is easily impressed. As long as his and his group's heads are kept above the water, then the journey's all the merrier.

However, he is often unassertive, and has a tendency to lose focus on a task that doesn't immediately stimulate his attention span. As a result, there can be times where his sincerity is obscured by a lapse in focus, or the lack of will to stand up for his beliefs. This is to say nothing of his general awkwardness; which, despite how often the tom tries to push through and get past it, almost always tends to manifest itself physically. From misjudged landings after climbing a tree to forgetting that thorn bushes sting, it's a small wonder he's come as far as he has.

Shrimp's most scathing critics would label him as both lazy and cowardly, and unfortunately that is not an unfounded conclusion to reach. When faced with hardship, or anything that would deter his humble way of living, the tabby will inevitably freeze up. There are instances where he is able to power through the crippling fear of change or discomfort, but on the whole he would much rather have others deal with his problems in his stead. He's of the mind that any amount of hardship, worry, or violence ought to be circumvented whenever possible. After all, it is a simple life when your thoughts and ambitions remain small.

Shrimp was born to NPCs and will be a FIRST generation RiverClanner. He is brother to NPCs[/abbr]. He hasn't had contact with his family for many seasons now, and he does not expect to ever again. Last he heard, they'd all gone to different twoleg nests.

Shrimp is SINGLE and is BISEXUAL. While not a romantic at heart, he's not averse to the idea of finding a partner some day down the road. What's important is that the potential suitor be a good match to his personality, and is capable of dealing with him at his highs and lows.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Shrimp will not start fights BUT will end fights. He will flee and will show mercy.

In battles, Shrimp excels at DEFENDING HIMSELF AND OTHERS, but is poor at GENERALLY EVERYTHING ELSE. The longer a battle goes on, the less of an impact the tabby will make, due to how fast he burns through his stamina reserves. Shorter skirmishes fare better in his favour, but he has virtually no real expertise to employ. At the first sign of danger or an aggressor, Shrimp is likely to either freeze in place or book it entirely.

Shrimp often smells like algae.
