Pelt
When Snowflower was born, she, unlike her brother Mudkit, was born as a starch white kit. It was thought that she would pass on, for she was a terribly sick kit, her eyes didn't even open until she was nearly two moons old. Luckily, her eyes did open and her fur began to color out, dark chocolate streaks began to show up on her fur as she grew. Now, fully grown, the she-cat's once pure white ears have turned a chocolate brown color as has her long, fluffy tail. As she grew, her fur did too and a brown mask-marking has appeared on her fur. Her paws are brown as well and she has a brown "shell" marking on her back.
Her brother says her strange fur color is like someone with muddy paws stepping into pure, white snow.

Eyes
Unlike most kits, Snowflower's eyes did not change from the vibrant blue eyes she was born with, instead they merely darkened. She now has dark blue eyes, eyes that her mate once said reminded him like a lake at night. Like most queens, Snowflower's eyes give away everything she is thinking and feeling. Since her mate passed on, her eyes have been downcast and rather sad looking.
Personality
Ask anyone in Timberclan and they'll tell you "Snowflower's a sweet cat, the ideal queen." The ideal queen, perhaps the only thing that makes the she-cat stand out in Timberclan. To her fellow clanmates she's merely a kind and gentle she-cat, who tends to the nursery far too much. Too her fellow clan-cats there is nothing more and nothing less or, perhaps they don't want there to be anymore to the blue-eyed she-cat.
But there is, there very much is.
Snowflower is a timid she-cat, her voice often lowered not from the gentle, motherly instincts she possess but instead from fear that if she speaks to loud she'll be scolded or yelled at. From constantly living in Mudwhiskers's shadow and being constantly compared to her older brother, the queen has developed a self confidence issues, often setting up standards for herself that she will never be able to uphold, nor would any other cat. She often puts herself down and worries about how she will take care of her kits by herself.
Snowflower has also become a depressed she-cat since the death of her mate, often hiding away in the nursery for days at a time.
History
Once upon a time in Timberclan there were two warriors, Tigerfang and Snowflower and, they were madly in love.
But, I'm getting ahead of myself. Snowflower's story does begin when she fell in love with her now dead mate, no, her story begins at the time of her birth, like all other cats.
Treepelt and Whitefur were two of the best warriors in Timberclan and said two were ecstatic when Whitefut found out she was with kits. Their joy however, turned to anguish when the two's four kits were born during a harsh leafbare. The first born was a healthy tom but, the other three were all starch white kits. Stillkit was dead from birth and Cloudkit and Snowkit were nearly dead, barely surviving three sunrises. Unfortunately, Cloudkit died when she was barely seven sunrises old, the toll of whatever sickness that she was born with taking her life. Snowkit and Mudkit were the only kits of Treepelt and Whitefur's to live, Mudkit being healthy from birth.
As Snowkit grew, she could always tell she wasn't like by her parents, forever reminding them of the two kits they lost during the leafbare. She could also see how much her clan liked her older brother over her, always complimenting the tom and giving the smaller she-cat off hand stares, as if she would die at any moment. Tigerpaw, an older kit who was recently apprenticed, was the only cat who really talked to Snowkit normally and enjoyed her company. As Snowkit went through her apprentice ceremony, the two became even closer. Tigerpaw was the one to comfort her when the burden of living under her brother's shadow became too much and when her parents began to ignore her completely.
When Tigerpaw (alongside Snowpaw's brother Mudpaw) had his warrior ceremony both of Snowpaw's parents passed on, leaving Snowpaw nearly alone. Tigerfang however consoled the she-cat and when Snowpaw was granted her warrior name, Snowflower, it was no surprise that the two became mates.
It was also no surprise that the she-cat found out that she was with kits nearly seven weeks ago. Unfortunately, Snowflower's beloved mate, Tigerfang died the day before the she-cat's brother was declared deputy.
Because of this, Snowflower has become a hollow shell of her former self.
Other
Snowflower will give birth in about fourteen sunrises.
She also has one kit that's still up for grabs, Thrushkit, who is a she-kit.
