Lilackit - Lilacpaw - Lilacfall Clan: ShadowClan Rank: Young Warrior Gender: She-cat Parents: Rowantalon Siblings:Oakpaw, Wildpaw, Daypaw, Spottedpaw, Snowpaw, Leafpaw, Tuftpaw, Crowfur, Owlgaze, Scorchstar, Wildstrike Mentor:Cobrafang Friends: Curlyfeather, Willowheart Enemies: Acquaintances: Apprentices:Nightpaw Adopted Children:Stoatpaw, Nightpaw, Newtpaw, Mothkit Biological Children: Personality: Lilacfall was easily startled and disliked being the center of attention when she was younger. However, after growing older she is often willing to put this aside and be brave for the sake of others, especially those she cares about. She's gentle and caring towards others, but also protective and easily worried. She's also something of a dreamer, when there's nothing to panic about. Dislikes being woken up. In battle she prefers strategy to all-out force. Most Likely To: Panic. Best Quality: Her kindness. Worst Quality: Prone to panic. Worst Fear: Witnessing a leader go mad with power. Requirements: Patrol (0/2), Gathering, Battle Theme:Nocturne by Secret Garden Playlist:
Kithood Lilackit was gentle, friendly and caring towards her family if a little shy to others. She was particularly close to Oakkit and her other littermates, but looked up to her older siblings as well - Leafpaw especially, though Crowpaw was a close second. However, Daykit and Wildkit's feuds often upset her.
Apprenticeship Not long into Lilacpaw's apprenticeship, her mentor, Cobrafang, died, and she was left without a mentor - the majority of her training being done by observation. She took to watching her Clanmates to learn all she could from them, and grew more and more easily panicked and shaken when several of her siblings either disappeared or died. As a result, she ended up bonding more with her brother Crowpaw (who soon became Crowfur). She did befriend Willowpaw (later Willowheart) and Curlypaw (Curlyfeather), but even those friendships didn't do very much for her anxiety and fear of losing even more of the cats she cared for. Her moonstone journey marked a change in her life - the advice she received helped to change her outlook. She could still serve her Clan despite her anxiety, and the fact that she started working to move past it was a step in the right direction.
Warriorhood Not too long after her journey to the moonstone and subsequent realizations, her warrior ceremony was held and she was dubbed Lilacfall. A while passed, mostly uneventful, until she decided to adopt three of ShadowClan's motherless kits - Nightkit, Stoatkit and Newtkit. She hadn't really considered becoming a parent before, but she wouldn't trade any of her kits for the world. When Nightkit became an apprentice, Lilacfall was chosen as the mentor of the newly-named Nightpaw, much to her surprise.
However, while assisting her Clanmate Lizardtail in bringing his kits to the Clan, she threw herself in front of a monster trying to protect one of the kits.
And that is where the story of her life comes to an end.

Raven - Raven the Wise Clan: DawnClan/Rogue Rank: Rogue Mother: Belladonna [NPC Rogue, deceased] Father: Unknown Siblings: Hawk, Falcon, Robin [NPC Rogues, deceased] Mentor: N/A Friends: Enemies: Acquaintances: Mate:Lizardtail Personality: Raven is a gentle, wise cat who tries to help the helpless, such as young kits. She knows she's not the best fighter, and she makes up for it by being a strategist and knowing how to hide - a necessary ability to learn all she needs to know undetected. She isn't especially unfriendly, though she prioritizes herself and who she perceives as her charges above anything else. Most Likely To: Spy on someone. Best Quality: Her resourcefulness. Worst Quality: She can be cold and rather distant, though it's not her intention. Worst Fear: Leaving those she cares about behind.

Raven's History:
The sole surviving kit of her mother's only litter, Raven was on her own from a young age. She did stop to help those she felt needed it, but for the most part she disappeared as quickly as she had come to their aid. Her life continued like this for some time, until she stumbled upon the beginnings of DawnClan.
She met a Clan cat, Lizardtail, and fell in love with him - having two kits, and leaving them with their father. Unbeknownst to her, one of the kits went to ThunderClan and didn't live long at all, and her daughter, Rook, was taken in by WindClan due to their father's tragic death. Neither went to ShadowClan as intended.
She only learned these things in death, however, once she was finally reunited with her love.
And that is where the story ends.

She's trying to get better at making friends and socializing with other cats, though. When on her own, she's a dreamer, often losing herself in idle thoughts. Most Likely To: Help someone.

Featherlight's History:
Featherkit, daughter of Brindlewhisker and Dewtuft, wasn't unfriendly as a kit - just painfully shy. Like many kits, however, she was curious and believed her parents knew all there was in the world to know.
Sageleaf received a sign from StarClan declaring Featherkit was to be her apprentice, and thus she became Featherpaw, the medicine cat apprentice to WindClan. However, her training had only just begun when Sageleaf disappeared, leaving her untrained apprentice to tend to the Clan on her own. As a result, Raccoonfang had died from a most likely treatable illness, and Featherpaw was wracked with guilt for her inability to care for her Clanmates. The news that Sageleaf had run to ThunderClan and died after killing her brother and delivering a false sign from StarClan hit her hard, leaving the young she-cat feeling betrayed by someone she had thought she could trust - someone she had looked up to, been meant to learn from.
Time passed, and Mottleheart was called upon by StarClan to take up the role of Featherpaw's mentor. She tried to avoid him for some time, afraid that if she tried to rely on him at all he would leave her like her former mentor had. Eventually, however, Sageleaf came to her in a dream and revealed the truth, sharing her own memory of what happened with Featherpaw. The medicine cat apprentice found a peace within herself after that, no longer feeling like a failure, and able to feel like she wasn't just a burden on her Clan.
Not too long after that, her naming ceremony came, and Mottleheart gave her the name Featherlight.
Though it seemed things were looking up, it wasn't meant to last. RiverClan invaded WindClan and took all they had, all their herbs and prey, and Featherlight and Mottleheart were left to build back up from nothing at all.
Eventually, Mottleheart stepped down as medicine cat, leaving Featherlight sole medicine cat of WindClan once more - though not for long, as a dream gave her a sign as to who her apprentice would be.
Unfortunately, her tragic death struck not long after, and she sadly joined the legacy of medicine cats who left their apprentices behind.
And that is where the story ends.

Swanpetal's History:
Kithood Swankit, daughter of Flowerpetal and Dewstorm, wasn't very social outside of her family, though she loved her brothers and her parents with all her heart.
Apprenticeship Not long after her apprentice ceremony, and receiving the rather lazy Snailbelly as her mentor, her mother was killed by a mysterious mist - revealed later to be a Dark Forest cat. As she lost her siblings and her family was torn apart, Swanpaw became determined to honor their legacy by becoming the best, strongest warrior the Clans had ever seen, and trained to this end - to the exclusion of most other things. Though she was loyal to her Clan, and to the Warrior Code, she wasn't particularly friendly or social to her denmates, rather becoming arrogant and standoffish. Her devotion to the Warrior Code, however, was short-lived as while exploring the territory she came across a WindClan cat, Cloverpaw. Unwilling to fight, she talked with him and struggled with her desire to befriend him - he didn't seem like a threat at all, but she was a RiverClan cat. They talked, and by the end of their conversation Swanpaw had decided to teach him to swim, cementing her decision to betray the Code. After the first lesson, though, she didn't see him again, and growing lonely, began trying to befriend her fellow apprentices once again. Being unapproachable and arrogant hadn't gotten her anywhere, after all.
However, it wasn't quite that simple. For one, her attitude was already something she was so used to that changing it was proving harder than she had expected, and that led her to a nighttime stroll. That stroll, in turn, led her to Fourtrees, and that was where things went south. She had been captured by Twolegs, and when she managed to escape she was far enough away that she had no idea which way was home.
She wandered for moons, believing the stars themselves had cursed her to laugh at her suffering, losing track of time and losing track of herself. She was a shell of the formerly energetic, if arrogant and irritable, RiverClan apprentice she had been.
Through some miracle, she made her way back to RiverClan's territory after so long she didn't recognize it for what it was at first. Running into her mentor, there was a joyous greeting, but learning the things she had missed - a war fought, a murder congratulated, a medicine cat taken hostage - led her to lash out and run off once again, headed for Sunningrocks, where she met a rogue that carried ThunderClan's scent and learned more of the details of the war.
Unwilling to journey far, she settled in the Twolegplace Farm until Lilytail knocked some sense into her and, after some thinking and reflection, drove her to return with an apology and faded confidence.
Swanpaw threw herself into her training, desperate to become a warrior, until she reached the last step - her journey to the Moonstone, to speak with StarClan. She worried that they wouldn't speak to her, that she would never become a warrior because of that, but what happened was almost worse. She found herself face to face with her mother, Flowerpetal. After a conversation that involved more shouting than was likely necessary, Swanpaw returned to RiverClan with a newfound sense of hope.
Not too long after, her warrior ceremony was held and she became Swanpetal, warrior of RiverClan.
Some time after, she had five kits: Streamkit, Icekit, Nightkit, Stonekit, Bluekit and Hillkit. She fell ill for an extended period of time not long after their birth, and by the time she had fully recovered, none of them were left alive.
Though still struggling to move on completely from her grief and her worst fears of StarClan abandoning the Clans coming true, she had five more kits: Waspkit, Firkit, Amberkit, Milkkit and Ripplekit. A short while later, she also had Brookkit.
Ruby - Emberpaw - Emberheart of ThunderClan "I don't want to fight today, with claws or with words. But at the same time... I don't think you understand the point of this at all."
The Determinator - ThunderClan Elder x smile, the worst is yet to come; we'll be lucky if we ever see the sun
Personality: Courage and Determination Emberheart is typically a pleasant and social individual. However, she does have a fairly short temper, and certain topics are almost certain to make her furious: not the least of which is insinuating that cats who aren't Clanborn are somehow lesser. Her loyalty lies with ThunderClan and her Clanmates, and she would gladly lay down her life for any one of them should the need arise. Her defining traits are courage, determination and honor. She refuses to give up on her goals, whatever they may be, and is typically unwilling to use dirty tricks. However, she can be reckless and fail to think things through at times, particularly when her temper gets the best of her or she feels the need to prove herself somehow. Once she's started something, she always intends to see it through to the end: for better or for worse. Despite all of that, though, she can be very awkward, especially in unfamiliar social situations.
Quirks: Virtues: honor, determination, courage Vices: pride, wrath Likes trees, and sometimes prefers hunting in them Favorite prey is birds and mice voice claim: Veronica Sawyer [Heathers: The Musical, Original Cast]
Appearance: Emberheart is fairly average in size: not much larger or smaller than any other average warrior. A purebred Somali, her long and thick fur is primarily red, with darker red tabby stripes and a white muzzle, chest and belly, and her eyes are yellow. Part of one of her ears is missing, torn off in a battle with Shade. She has other scars from various battles, but most are hidden under her thick fur. Despite often seeming out of her element, she carries herself with pride, particularly when outside of ThunderClan territory.
Mothkit - (The Magnificent) Mothpaw - The Magnificent Mothglowof ShadowClan "Someone has to help! If we don't, who will?"

family:
Scorchstar [Father] Though she still loves her father, and looked up to him for a long time, in the aftermath of everything involving StagClan... She's found a lot of things she disagrees with and disapproves of.
Minnowcall [Mother] She loved her mother, but they weren't exactly close.
Silent Snows [Sister] She loves her sister unconditionally, despite all the issues they've dealt with. Mothglow still wishes to repair their relationship somehow. Poppyheart [Half-Brother, Mentor] Her first mentor and elder brother, she looked up to him.
Asterspark [Half-Brother] Her elder brother, she looks up to him.
Mentors and Apprentices:
mentors and apprentices:
Poppyheart [First Mentor] [see Family]
Thornstar [Second Mentor] She's intimidated by Thornstar at times, but still looks up to and respects her. Considers her a mother figure after their time together on the West Shore after the flood.
Appearance: Large molly with vibrant orange eyes and black tabby fur. Long, fluffy fur hides a multitude of scars from a lifetime of battles and mishaps. Rarely able to keep still for more than a moment, she's almost always seen smiling.
Personality: "StarClan honors your inner light and seemingly endless supply of love." - Thornstar Mothglow is idealistic and enthusiastic in all that she does, though she sometimes comes on a little too strong to those unfamiliar with her. She believes in showing compassion to others regardless of who they are or where they come from. Time has tempered her aggressive nature into something kinder; and where she once responded to any hint of danger with outright aggression she now does her best to see the best in everyone and everything (though occasionally her pacifistic nature and refusal to hurt others gets her into trouble or makes things difficult).
(Even the darkest nights will end with the rising sun, though another night is sure to follow.)
She is naturally curious and enjoys exploring and playing games, however childish she may seem, though she's smarter than she sometimes lets on. Friendly and outgoing, she is protective of those close to her, attempting to defend them from harm. She tries to believe the best in everyone, and thinks that in an ideal world everyone could be friends - to that effect, she also believes that they can make this world ideal. Extroverted and incredibly outgoing, when left alone she falls into a panic and is unable to act. Because of this, she's terrified of being left alone. In addition, she has an unfortunate tendency to ignore her own problems until she breaks down.

Friends and Enemies:
friends:
Silent Snows [ShadowClan] One of the cats who was also kidnapped by Twolegs. Fellow small friend. Mothglow's sister.
Mothglow [ShadowClan Medicine Cat] One of the cats who was also kidnapped by Twolegs. Silent Snows' sister.
Aspenheart [WindClan Medicine Cat] One of the cats who was also kidnapped by Twolegs.
Eaglepaw [SkyClan] One of the cats who was also kidnapped by Twolegs. Fondly remembered.
Waspburn (Wasp) [RiverClan] Batbite defended Wasppaw against a SkyClan apprentice at a Gathering, and has since decided that Wasppaw is a close friend of hers. Thinks of her like a sister, and has a lot of respect for her after what happened in the mountains.
Sharptooth [ThunderClan Exile] She protected the kidnapped Clan cats and helped them find their way home. Fondly remembered.
Ferretnose (Ferret) [ThunderClan] Apprentices at the same time. Started to truly consider her a friend while in the mountains after the flood.
Mossbloom (Moss) [ThunderClan Medicine Cat Apprentice] Considers her to be pleasant company and a decent friend. Also, less intimidating than Pricklebush.
Appearance: Batbite is noticeably smaller than the average Clan cat, due in part to being abandoned along with her siblings as a kit. Her fur is long and thick, and a pitch-black color, hiding the scars she's gained throughout her life. Her eyes are a bright green, typically seen sparkling with mischief. Despite her size and her origins, she looks much like any other Clan cat and keeps her head held high, carrying herself with pride - unless, of course, she's currently sneaking up on an unsuspecting victim.
Personality: "StarClan honors your humor and dedication." - Leopardstar A chaotic combination of playful and dramatic, it often seems that Batbite takes almost nothing seriously. She's always got an idea or two to try, even if they're not the most well thought out. Eager to make friends, she's not particularly aggressive, though she's prone to playing tricks on even those she counts among her closest friends. Despite her naturally impulsive nature, she possesses a surprising amount of patience and respect for planning ahead - and occasionally shows a drier sense of humor than one might expect. Though she doesn't always act like it, she's very capable of taking things seriously if someone or something she cares for is threatened.
Though she remains mostly within its boundaries, she believes the warrior code is inherently flawed and should be remade from the ground up; and that the clans as a whole learned nothing from the all trouble they went through with the Righteous Few. In addition, she has little issue with breaking most other rules; especially if they somehow interfere with her understanding of right and wrong. Having seen a great deal of what lies beyond the borders of the clans, she longs to see more, but by now has more or less resigned herself to Clan life. Not that the average observer would know she's anything less than happy to be here.

{"You've scarred an apprentice for life tonight, I'm sure. Congratulations."} - January Gathering 2019
{"Don't you understand?" she asked, and despite her small frame she made sure her voice carried over the crowd. "They don't care about any of that. This StarClan, these Righteous Few... They have a single goal, and they've already made it clear, haven't they? It doesn't matter how much blood is shed, or how many lives are lost - so long as they achieve their goal. Righteousness and purity, at any cost."} - April Gathering 2020
{"They think themselves above the very same pointless laws they wish to force upon us all," she muttered with distaste.
She thought about stopping there, but Morningpaw's words of cooperation struck her, reminding her of the flood once again. There was something left to add.
We band together in times of crisis.
"I was there for the Great Flood, when the clans were swept away. Cats of every clan aided one another then, just as we must now. It's not without precedent - we band together in times of crisis, time and again. Which part of the forest you call home doesn't matter when everything is at risk, and which cats you call Clanmates matters little when they turn against you. We must place our trust in one another, and we must band together if we wish to survive. We are different clans, and we are not the same - but we are warriors, bound by honor, and that is what defines us. They can strike down our leaders and our friends, but they can't take away everything we are.
I, for one, will not allow myself to be some dead cat's mossball - my choices and mistakes alike are mine alone to make, with or without a list of rules to follow. These Righteous Few, this mockery of stars, struck down a perfectly honorable warrior for nothing more than being born outside the clan she called her home. My own paws have strayed beyond this forest in the past, and while I do not know where their journey began, I do know that in the end they brought me home. That this is where I belong, whatever the stars might have to say. For the freedom to choose, I will stand with you."
Satisfied, she curled her tail around her side once more. She had said her piece, added her voice to the chorus of rebellion - she would sleep peacefully knowing her truth had been spoken. Whether the other cats would judge her for her past wanderings mattered little to her, so long as they fought by her side.} - If You Want Peace Chapter 1
{"None of you know when to quit, do you?" Batbite asked, rolling off of her opponent at last now that they had company. "Even dying can't keep you down. It's actually kind of impressive - but while I do admire your tenacity, it's not going to save you now." She reared up on her hind legs, rising to her full - still rather short - height, and slashing wildly at the starlit stranger. Every frustrated thought, every idle wonder of whether their ancestors cared at all - she gave it her all, now, finally releasing a lifetime of tension built. "Welcome to the show, folks. Care to share your names?"
She grinned wickedly, caught up in the adrenaline of the fight enough that little concerned her now. "Mine's Batbite." She turned back to the so-called Righteous One, fixing him with a chilling stare. "You think yourself a judge and an executioner. Seems like fun, really! So why don't we switch up the roles? Really, I think it's about time someone passed judgment on you."
She glanced back at her current teammates once again, that wicked grin still in place. "It's showtime. Let's give 'em one they'll never forget, yeah?"} - May Gathering 2020

To have known him at all is an honor in itself, and to have lost him a tragedy... But we have not lost the love in which he placed his faith. It lives on in all of us, that love which endures eternally."
Departure: Feeling she had done all she could as a warrior of WindClan, she left to return to her homeland of the Garden.

Relationships
family:
Dianella [Mother, NPC] A clever hunter and talented fighter, Dianella taught her daughters many things: how to hunt, how to fight, and - perhaps most importantly - how to avoid conflict. She often shared tales of their ancestors, as well - the same ancestors that walked where the stars shone, and followed them throughout their lives; wherever their paths would lead. It is this particular wisdom that gives Zinnia peace on lonely nights.
Chrysanthemum [Father, NPC] Chrysanthemum taught his kits the value of kindness; in a way their mother couldn't match. Each day he went out of his way to offer assistance to all who asked (and many who didn't), and at the beginning of each day he'd present his mate with treasures he'd found on his little adventures; often bringing flowers back for his daughters as well. It was from him that Zinnia learned to never turn away from those in need - a philosophy she holds close to her heart even now, so far from home.
Lunaria [Sister, NPC] Lunaria is Zinnia's older sister, and one of the handful of healers in the Garden. Mostly, she deals with the plants; tending to the ones that grow within the garden and - more rarely - venturing into the outskirts of their territory to find the few things that don't grow there. Calm and gentle, she values peace and quiet; but rarely refuses the company of her family. It's thanks to her that Zinnia can name a handful of plants, though their uses have long since escaped her.
Primrose [Sister, NPC] Primrose is Zinnia's youngest sister, and unlike her kin she hasn't decided what she wants to do with her life - or, at least, she hadn't decided the last time Zinnia saw her. Socializing, playing games and trying a little bit of everything is how she spends her time; with plenty of catnaps. Some days she'll spend by the shallows of the water, keeping an eye on adventurous kits; others she tags along with the daily hunting patrol, and still others she doesn't do much of anything. Still, despite her lack of ambition (and the fact that she's often somewhat unreliable), she's always supported the choices of those around her, even if she doesn't understand them - in particular those her sisters have made.
Appearance Somewhat taller and more lithe than the average forest-dwelling cat, Zinnia's medium-length fur is a very pale gray with hints of white and tabby stripes that, though they are a slightly darker gray, sometimes seem to shift into hints of golden. Her brilliant green eyes are often found turned upward, looking to the sky on sunny days and starry nights alike. She carries herself always with grace and dignity.
Personality While Zinnia is overall perfectly capable of caring for herself, and certainly not a child, she's often lost in a world of her own - one that makes little sense to Clan cats. How much of her oddness is part of the distant culture she hails from and how much is entirely unrelated remains unclear. Her attention is easy to catch and hard to keep, though she doesn't mean anything by it - she always seems genuinely apologetic whenever she catches herself zoning out of a conversation, eager to learn all she can about the Clans and their way of life. However, if one were to try and settle on a single word to describe her, they may decide on 'peaceful'. A relaxed individual who tends to go with the flow, she dislikes and actively avoids conflict.
Despite her fleeting attention span she's quite well-spoken, with plenty of wisdom to share - whether that wisdom is useful is another story entirely, but it's there all the same. What she truly enjoys, however, is the pursuit of happiness: left to her own devices, she does the things that bring her joy, which are often simple and even strange to those unfamiliar. That pursuit has led her to WindClan, where she has decided to stay and lend her skills. One might assume her to be gullible or easily tricked, and this is true to an extent - she offers her kindness and assistance to any who request it. Should she realize she has been tricked or betrayed, she will not take it well.

quirks:
Born in a distant place known as the Garden Carries the culture from her birthplace with her even in these distant Clan territories A strict - albeit conditional - pacifist, she fights other cats only when attacked, though predator and prey receive no such mercy voice claim Often talks to the breeze or the night sky

{"You," she said, voice dangerously soft. "You call yourself righteous... But I am here to avenge my leader, whose life you stole. Who among us deserves that title more, would you say?"} - to Galestar, May Gathering 2020
{"Tell me, Theron, Captain of the Nightstrikers, bringer of Asylum's Mercy... Will your blood look any different than mine when it's spilled across the ground? Or is it only the illusion of being something more than you are?"
With a single slash across the Nightstriker captain's throat, she ensured that she would soon have her answer.
"Every tale has its end. I can only hope you believe yours was worthwhile, if not worthy."
(This was not kindness, and it was not mercy. She would not pretend it was.)} - to Theron, The Head Of The Snake

sunset; moonrise Unwilling to let innocents suffer, Zinnia seeks out Finchstar to offer herself to their cause. He accepts, and while she keeps her name, Zinnia becomes a warrior of WindClan.

As It Was A hunting patrol with Olivestone, Zinnia and Maplewhisker.
The Moor-Call Zinnia begins training her second apprentice, Sweetpaw.
Appearance As swift and strikingly eye-catching as the lightning from which she takes her name, Flashlight is an average-sized striking calico she-cat with green/blue heterochromia: her left eye is green, the right one blue. She values her appearance highly, so her fur almost always looks well-kept, with the only exceptions being if she’s just been in a battle or in the water. She always walks with her head held high, showcasing both her confidence and her self-important attitude.
Personality "RiverClan honors your passion and loyalty." - Ivystar Endlessly striving for success, Flashlight is undeniably passionate about everything she does. She's dedicated to her family, caring and protective toward the few she considers close enough to call friends, and has something of a soft spot for kits. She's hard-working and driven; chasing her ambitions with everything she has - she thinks she's better than everyone around her, and won't rest until she proves it to be true.
Self-important, arrogant and vain, she is at the center of her own world. If she feels she (or someone she’s close to) has been wronged somehow, she doesn’t just hold grudges: she actively seeks revenge. For all her faults, though, it's not hard to see her dedication to her family, her clan, and what she feels is her legacy.

Cause of Death: She offered her life as a sacrifice to bring back the stars, allowing StarClan to help drive away the Dark Forest cats.
Appearance A small tabby with blue eyes and short gray fur that’s speckled with white markings and a white tail-tip.
Personality Excitable, sweet, and naive; Flurrypaw believes there's never a dull moment and does her best to find a bright side in every possible situation. A hopeless romantic who tends to take things at face value and tries to believe the best in everyone, she's easily influenced by those around her. The world and everything in it is beautiful to her, with something new to love around every corner. She keeps a collection of pretty things to decorate her nest with, and has a preference for shiny trinkets in particular.

iconic moments:
{She looked to Shellpuddle with a soft expression and a purr in her throat. "I'm sorry," she said, though she didn't sound all that apologetic. "After tonight, I hope everyone gets to live happily..." Her mother would know just what she was sorry for before too long, and she couldn't just say nothing- that was her only regret, she supposed. That the rest of the Clan would be left to grieve. But they would live, and they would be free, and the stars would shine in the night sky, and she would be content in that knowledge.} - Faded Hope [RiverClan Finale]
Laurelkit - Thaliaof ShadowClan (formerly of Asylum)
“I loved everything I thought we were, everything I thought we stood for... And I still do. I love the dream. But I've finally woken up from it! I still love the cats that have given me so much, but... This war was never going to bring peace."
Reason for Departure: Decided to leave ShadowClan after great tragedy to live at the rebuilt Oasis.
The Wolf - ShadowClan Nightstriker - Rank One x we are lightning, straying from the thunder
Appearance A larger than average dilute calico with long fur and amber eyes. Beyond her pale coloring, the most striking thing about her is the fox pelt most often seen draped over her shoulders. She sees no need to hide her face, and while she detests what they stand for, she wears her scars with pride - a first-rank Nightstriker scar on one side of her face, and a few much fainter scars on the other that she views as a constant reminder of her past mistakes.
Personality Despite her life experience, Thalia is often unsure of herself. She's doing her best to find her place among the cats of ShadowClan, hoping to follow in the pawsteps of the cat she respects the most - to reclaim the legacy of Asylum and Oasis (or at least what they were always supposed to stand for) and keep it alive in the forest. She believes in fairness and justice, in addition to showing kindness and offering second chances.
Optimistic, enthusiastic, and passionate - sometimes a little too much - she seeks to learn new things and make new friends at every opportunity, and almost always jumps at the chance to lend a helping paw. Though she's far from unintelligent, she can sometimes be kind of oblivious. Idealistic, in that she wants to believe the world is a better place than it often is, and strives to make it so. Driven by emotion, she's more likely to follow her heart than her head.

quirks:
voiceclaim Raised as an Asylum cat, she keeps a fox pelt Often drapes her fox pelt over her shoulders Loves flowers Part of her heart will always remain with the cats she was raised with, long after most of them have parted ways Knowing her lack of control and restraint, she's afraid to fight
iconic moments:
{“Listen, friends - no, family. The life we wanted, the life we were promised? We’ll never have that. All we’ve ever known was built on lies and half-truths. This isn’t a sanctuary, it’s a prison - and don’t you see, we were just as trapped as they are, so much so that we didn’t even know it! But we don’t have to be.” Here she paused for a split second, just long enough to catch her breath. There wasn't time to waste, she only had one chance to speak; she knew she had to make every word count. “I loved everything I thought we were, everything I thought we stood for... And I still do. I love the dream. But I've finally woken up from it! I still love the cats that have given me so much, but... This war was never going to bring peace. I’ve made my choice, I know what I’m willing to stand for. Do you?”} - to the other stolen kits, The Head of the Snake
