Purebreds - Mothwing

Finally we've arrived at the finish line of this round of requested purebred kitties!! It's been too long, partly because duty called and school's a bitch, but I hope to launch a new warrior request journal in a few days, if only to prepare myself for the next cats~ Stay tuned, and watch out for my journal updates so you get a chance at getting a cat you want, drawn.

Now, onto the character design this time around. Mothwing was... tricky, to say the least. "Triangle-faced, sleek, dappled, dark golden blah blah blah" - what does that mean, Erins? A golden shaded? An amber tabby? No?
In the end, I researched black tabbies, until I found one which had a... lighter undercoat, which a few areas tinted almost orange. It might not follow canon, but it makes Mothwing solidly genetically possible. As the daughter of a black tabby tom and a black colourpoint female, this works seamlessly~ (And she still looks moth-like to me xD) This I did partly because making her amber would be... a bit 'too' farfetched, if Sasha did turn out a purebred cat of Oriental lineage (where none should by default carry amber, since it's restricted to the Norwegian forest cat alone)

If anything, what I tried to keep, was her "striking tabby stripes" by giving her thinner striping than the average longhaired kitty - and her breed should be obvious enough; she takes after her daddy, and is a Norwegian Forest Cat herself~ And finally amber eyes stay amber eyes. 

(Currently she might actually be the cat most similar to Tigerstar, omg haha xD)

As for her character... I LOVE HER. LOTS! Mothwing is awesome - that she's an atheist inhabiting the one position in a clan where faith ought to be most important, was a stroke of genius. We need more non-believing cats, really~ Starclan is so boring, ugh. (This coming from a non-believer herself, I'm kinda biased, but meh~)

I'll admit, in the beginning she annoyed me. But in retrospect, I think that came from the fact that Mothwing was most often a theme in Leafpool's POV - and she naturally annoyed me, so I'm inclined to say that my initial dislike of Mothy was Leafy's fault. xD
