Genetically speaking, she is a longhaired black and white molly with vitiligo. This is her after just becoming a full-fledged shaman. As she ages, more of her will be white until she is mostly white with black speckles on her back. She’ll then decide to take on the name Specklepad, which is the name she has when the events of CSP happen. I didn’t feel comfortable enough making both of her eyes blue, so I made one blue and the other orange. In MVAU, Riverclan cats are more likely to have heterochromia.
Patchpad is named in reference to her patched pelt and her gentle personality. She can be quite sharp though, in speech and intellect. Soft like petals and sharp like blades. She doesn’t often wear the traditional shaman garb, only in important circumstances like communing with the gods or Crookedpath’s leadership ceremony. She wears everyday clothing otherwise.
She often enjoyed the company of the healer Mudfur. He passed on his worry for his daughter to Specklepad and the old shaman did what she could to prevent the path Leopardheart was headed for. Unfortunately, that plan failed.
Specklepad also enjoyed the company of the Thunderclan shaman Goosemaw, if only their relationship amounted to her teasing him for being very serious. She just wants to see others have joy in their lives.
She also had a close mentor-like relationship with Crookedpath as he grew up. He was undoubtedly distraught when she passed as she sort of became his godmother. In addition to giving her a ceremonial harpoon for Riverclan shamans to be burned with, Crookedpath gave an offering to the Lord of the River to ensure her spirit a safe passage into Starclan, the hide of a marshstalker monster.
She died at a ripe old age, but unfortunately wasn’t able to pass on her knowledge to an apprentice. Leopardpath took advantage of this in the War of Bloody Skies. Her body and important worldly possessions were placed on a small aquatic vessel and sent down the Swallowsun River before archers set the vessel on fire. She is now among Starclan, but is also one with the Lord of the River.
