I'm trying out for DotD's MapleClan division and I need ideas for a character!

I got some choices I want you to vote on, if you can spare a moment?

Okay, so first off is rank. Should I do a very young apprentice or an elder?
I've kinda always wanted an elder character, but an apprentice would be less likely to die immediately.

Secondly, personality. Either a cat who's super opposed to the androids or a friendly cat who just wants everybody to get along. I kinda want a gentle old elder who is kind to everyone, regardless of if they're flesh or metal, because they've seen so much violence/conflict already that they just don't want to pick a side anymore.

Male or female?

Aaand what kind of design? What kind of build, what colors? You can either suggest a color/build/pattern outright, or you can try prompt words/feelings/emojis/etc. if you want to!

I really appreciate you guys helping out with this, if you're willing to!
