First of all, you must have signed up for RP classes before you do this excercise!
The basis to being a good RPer is having a good idea of who your character is, how they act, and what makes them that way. For example, everybody seems to want to make their cat an orphan, or the like. That is not a smart idea, in fact probobaly the most marty stue/mary suish thing I can think of!
Believe me, it doesn't work that way! An interesting character doesn't have to be weird, either. They don't need a disability or something. You will look like a fool, trust me.
Use correct spelling and grammar! It will not only make you look smart, but makes it so much easier for the other people to understand.
No cat is perfect! Your charrie (Character) must have some types of faults, right? Maybe they are cowards, foolish, can't hunt, or weak, or ugly, or braggarts, or attention hogs, or know-it-alls. The faults are what make your character really interesting. No cat is perfect.
Here you will learn how to make your character a good history and personality. Just write one or both of them, and I'll help you! Your character doesn't need to be an orphan or disfigured to be interesting!

Name:Notail Personality:Nice but cranky, especially if he doesn't get enough sleep! History:Notail had a great clanlife. He started off as Brownkit. He was apprenticed to his father, Quailfeather. Brownpaw became Browntail at 11 moons. His parents went to live with the elders when Browntail was 40 moons. His parents died 12 moons later. When Browntail was 42 moons, he was in a grave battle. His tail was cut off. He became Notail and lived with the other elders. He still lives and is happy.

Hmmm, very good, I like it!
Some pointers-
-How did Notail's parents die? Why? Where?
-Did Brownpaw make any good friends? What did he like about clan life?
-More details, please, about the battle in which Browntail lost his tail. How does living without a tail affect him? Is he a respected elder?
-Did Browntail have any adventures or ambitions?

Name:Mistpaw Personality:Sweet, shy and kind to the kits and elders History: Mist has no idea who her parents were. She was only 2 moons old when her mother was killed by a rouge. She was to young to remember anything, but sometimes has flashes of remembrance, being picked up and carried away by a fellow loner who was good friends with her mom. The loner she lived with was named Jocob, and he was a magnificent Russian Blue. He was later hit by a monster, leaving the kit, which he had named Mist, his cave. At the age of 5 moons, Mist found herself utterly alone in the world. She made friends with a clan cat named Runningwind, who taught her how to fight and hunt. They became fast friends, but Runningwind died of greencough before he had the chance to invite her to the clan. Again, Mist found herself alone. She closed herself up to the world, receiving dreams from her ancestors (Shimmer Warriors, she called them) that prophecized of danger. She told the clans her dreams, and gradually opened back up when they accepted her into it, because they were short on warriors.She had no siblings, and her mentor is Morningheart.

That's a great history! I can't think of anything to improve at the moment, so I'll let Fox or the Claw review...because they're good at that!

Name: Darkfur Personality: She is a calm but cranky cat. She does know how to control her temper but she also gets angry at apprentices if they do the wrong thing. History: When Darkfur was an apprentice, she followed her best friend out of camp. She realized her best friend was heading to where The Claw's rogue group made their camp. She wanted to shout out to her but her terror kept her quiet. She hid behind a bush and watched. She saw her best friend meow something to a cat and the cat pounced on her. All of Darkpaw's instincts told her to jump, but terror didn't let her move. She watched her best friend get killed by that rogue. She let out a little squeal and raced home, panting hard. When she got back, she ran immediately to Foxstar and told her everything. Ever since then, her dreams have been haunted by that same moment playing over and over in her head.

Mistpaw- Does she have any siblings? Who is she apprenticed to? Otherwise, good history. Darkfur- I like the personality, and the history is neat because it's like an adventure!
