RUFOUSPAW
Welcome to the celebration, baby!
As Rufouspaw bit into the mouse's neck, she spotted a glint in the undergrowth from the corner of her eye. Strange. She set down her lunch for a moment (not before making sure the unfortunate critter was indeed dead) and approached it... soon seeing that the situation was a lot more puzzling than she'd bargained for. In front of her was some kind of water—more than she'd ever seen lumped together, actually—and inside of it? A cat, staring at her!
And their paw looked a lot like hers. So did their long-and-short fur... their scars...
Rufouspaw's eyes widened at the realization.
"Uh, hello?"
She meowed. "How'd you do that?"
Was this what her clanmates meant by "swimming"? This, and countless other questions, raced across her head, but she soon realized the other wasn't answering her. She frowned, and—hey! "Why are you looking at me like that?!"
What did she do?! The more the silent stare-down went on, the more queasy she felt... this punk needed a lesson, she thought. And so, she raised her paw (a gesture they copied, much to her chagrin) and struck. Except... instead of striking them, she struck the water. Worse, her paw went inside! Ew! Rufouspaw was quick to lift it and draw it to her chest—but the stranger did the same thing, which was weird, because their paw never breached the surface...And their paw looked a lot like hers. So did their long-and-short fur... their scars...
Rufouspaw's eyes widened at the realization.

Rufouspaw is a small ginger bicolor tabby with tortie point patches and odd blue-green eyes. A former loner, she faces the world with her head held high and her claws at the ready—for she believes danger is lurking at every corner. It remains to be seen whether her foolhardy yet distrusting disposition is justified...
9 moons, ages every 6th.
Genderqueer (she/he/it); any gendered terms OK!
