{~Apprentice: Snowpaw - a white she-cat with green eyes;; NPC

{~Appearance:

--A lean, muscular brown tabby she-cat with white paws and black stripes, golden eyes.

Briarheart’s dark brown tabby striped pelt covers the semi-muscular build of the RiverClan warrior. Although her body is a small kind of muscular her build is actually very lean, and with her short fur it makes good for getting her pelt wet. Her fur isn’t all that fluffy and neither is her tail, which makes sprinting through the water easier as the water slides off.

With the black tabby stripes creasing through the dark brown pelt helps her to blend in when she stalks prey and catches fish. Her paws are actually white, which some say clashes against her black and brown pelt. The black stripes layer over the white of her paws which is strange for most.

It is hard for Briarheart to hide her emotions of anger, but when she is happy or content, she tends to keep her straight face unless it gets too much for her. Most cats seem to be intimidated by her golden-colored eyes, as it sometimes is seen with anger or just plainly no emotion.

Briarheart’s pelt does reside quite a few battle scars from fights with the other Clans. When an owl attacked her in her apprenticeship, its talons left marks on her shoulders and a few knicks in the ears from its beak. A set of bite-mark scars rest on her front left leg, where another cat had bitten her.

{~Personality:

The first glance at Briarheart and you can tell has the ambition to do what she thinks is right for her Clan. Although her ambition to do what is right for her Clan is amplified by what happened in her past. When she was a fun-loving apprentice, she loved to hear the stories told by the elders which caused her to be a softy. Yet when Feathernose told her a little secret, is what caused her kindness to drift away into her heart.

Briarheart loves to go on the raids that help her Clan, but when it is just a dispute about which Clan is the best just makes her disgusted. The only time she doesn't like a raid is when it is against WindClan as is because of what happened to her brother. Briarheart shows her ambitious and non-emotional side because she just doesn’t want her clan-mate to know about her push-over side, so she covers it up.

Briarheart can actually get very aggressive when her buttons have been pushed. She just hates to talk about how her mother died, as it brings back how she couldn't say she was sorry. Cats might constantly hear her say things about her mother and how she wishes she could speak to her one last time. Although, now, all she wants is for her Clan to be happy and strong, to be lead by a cat that would do whatever it takes to keep it safe. She really wishes to be that leader.

{~History:

Briarheart was the first-born kit of her two parents Feathernose and Dustfur, also the sibling of Ravenpaw and Silverpaw.

Briarheart grew up knowing Ravenpaw and Silverpaw as her brothers, as well as Feathernose and Dustfur as her parents. The days she played with her brothers, she always wondered why she was so much smaller than they were, and why they became apprentices before she did. All she knew then was that she was loved by her parents even if her brothers had left the nursery.

When Briarheart became an apprentice, and got her mentor Stoneclaw, Briarheart wanted to train to be the best warrior she could. She always had trouble with her hunting practice and couldn’t catch as much prey as the rest of the apprentices. Briarheart did, however, become a very good fighter as of what her mentor said. Her world did fall apart when her father and brothers passed and her mother told her a secret she had kept so long.

Feathernose had told Briarheart that she wasn’t her real daughter, that Briarheart’s mother resides in StarClan and her father left the Clan to become a rogue. After the secret was reviled, Briarheart shut her ‘family’ out of her life. Never talking again to Ravenpaw or Silverpaw, leaving Dustfur confused as to why his daughter wouldn’t speak to her. Briarheart especially despised her false mother as to why she hid the fact that she didn’t have a family.

Three moons later, Briarheart was finally starting to let Dustfur, Ravenpaw, and Silverpaw back into her life. That is until Dustfur died of Greencough during that leaf-bare, and Silverpaw was killed by a badger in the territory. That just devastated Briarheart that she was losing more and more of the family she actually had.

When the past RiverClan leader led a raid into WindClan for more territory, Briarheart and Ravenpaw went along and helped fight for their Clan. Her life flashed before her eyes when Ravenpaw was slain by a WindClan warrior. Briarheart became so angered that she let her anger get the better of her and she had slain a WindClan apprentice herself. After her victory against her opponent, and RiverClan went back to their camp, she received her warrior name for the bravery she showed in the battle.

The day after her vigil, Feathernose had asked for Briarheart’s forgiveness. Telling her that her real mother Lilyfoot was Feathernose’s best friend and was asked to take Briarheart as a kit as she was sick and knew she was going to die. All this made Briarheart feel really guilty for being rude like she was, and when she went to go tell Feathernose that she will always know her as her mother, and she was sorry for the way she acted, she saw Feathernose chase a squirrel across the Thunderpath and hit by one of the monsters.

All she wishes now is to see Feathernose once again to finally tell her she was sorry for what she had done, and how it was affecting her in her life to this day about what happened.

{~Mentor: Blackfang - black tom with green eyes;; NPC
{~Apprentice(s): Toadpaw - brown-and-white tom with amber eyes;; NPC

{~Appearance:

--lean brown tabby she-cat with three white paws and black stripes, ice-blue eyes

Dawntail's dark brown tabby striped pelt covers the semi-muscular build of the ShadowClan warrior. Although her body is small, she has the strength and build of a very powerful cat, and with her short fur it makes good for her to get around quickly. Her fur isn’t all that fluffy--but fluffy it can be when she's angry--and neither is her tail, which makes sprinting through the marshes easier for her than some of the others.

Strangly her pelt isn't all that dark compaired to her sister, as the fur is just a tad bit lighter; she thinks its because she stayed in the dark during her younger days. The black stripes flowing down her back and tail blend in with the dark forest making it near impossible for other clans to spot her. Although the worst part is if someone sees her paws when she hides; as her paws are white, they tend to get her in sticky situations.

Dawntail can hide her emotions very well as opposed to her sister, but when her anger is released, she tends not to stop until she falls asleep. Yet those who know her well enough know how to keep her calm, and know how much of a loving cat she is to her clan-mates. With ice-blue eyes, no one can truely match the true hatred she can show when she starts a fight.

{~Personality:

The first glance at Dawntail and you can tell she has no respect for the other Clans. Although her ambition to do what she thinks is right, is proclaimed by the knowledge she knows alone. When she was a one-friend-only apprentice, she hated to see how her friend could just leave her, turning her heart a little harder each day. Yet when she found out about having a sister in another Clan, it just tore her heart in two. Only one other cat knew about the raid that took her from RiverClan, and she doesn't even know who it is.

Dawntail hates to go on the raids that won't help her Clan, but when it is just a dispute about which Clan is the best just makes her laugh at how ignorant. The only time she likes a raid is when it is against RiverClan as is because of how no cat noticed she was gone, and no cat came to get her back. Dawntail shows her ambitious and non-emotional side because she just doesn’t want her clan-mate to know about her push-over side, so she covers it up.

Dawntail can actually get very aggressive when her buttons have been pushed. She just hates to talk about RiverClan as it reminds her that she isn't a pure ShadowClan warrior. Cats might constantly hear her say things about her sister and how she wishes she could speak to her alone, and begin to think her crazy as she doesn't 'have' a sister. She knows that she does this and just lets cats believe what they want, it doesn't bother her, but it does bother her that her sister is a leader, and she can't even say "Congratulations."

{~History:

In the beginning, Dawntail was born to RiverClan, and is true to that blood by nature, even know due to what happened.

When she and her sister, Briarkit, were born, RiverClan was proud because another she-cat, Feathernose was about to have kits. Dawnkit and Briarkit's parents, Lilyfoot and Duskclaw, left to help in the raid against WindClan; and WindClan wanted to take something they loved most--kits.

A lone ShadowClan warrior, unknowingly slipped past the rageing battle that was taking place, slipping silently into an enemy nursery and took one kit he could carry--which happened to be Dawnkit--and took her back to ShadowClan.

RiverClan was devistated at not only the loss of two great warriors, but also the loss of a kit. The leader at the time decided not to go after, afraid of losing more warriors. But the grudge wasn't over against WindClan, whom RiverClan believed to have taken the kit.

ShadowClan had known about the raid against WindClan, for a couple warriors heard about it while on border patrol. One of ShadowClan's queens had just given birth and it would be one more warrior to train.

Dawnkit grew to become Dawnpaw, and trained under Blackfang, a soon-to-be-elder warrior with a great mind and a soft soul due to his age. Dawnpaw had it easier than the other apprentices, for Blackfang was said to be as soft as ThunderClan.

When Dawnpaw and another apprentice, Shadepaw, went out for a hunting assessment, when they met up by accident, they didn't realize they were near a badger nest, until the mother badger came out and attacked.

Shadepaw was killed, and Dawnpaw--with the help of the leader and a few warriors--were able to drive the badger away, and due to her skills in fighting, Dawnpaw was given her warrior name, Dawntail.

To this day, she is wavering in her loyal to ShadowClan, knows about her sister being Briarheart, because Blackfang was the one who told her he was the one who took her before he died. Now resenting RiverClan for never trying to find her, and debates against herself wither she should be loyal to her home Clan, or the one she grew up in.

Later on after Blackfang's death, Dawntail fell in love with a ShadowClan warrior, Nightstorm, whom then fathered her two kits, Leafkit and Darkkit, but unfortunetly, Leafkit died at birth.

Darkkit has the pelt of his mother, the dark brown pelt and the black stripes, but he takes his eyes after his aunt being amber, and only one of his paws are white. Leafkit was pure black with a few different colors on her back and tail, her face was black.

Dawntail was devistated when she lost Leafkit and Nightstorm, but vows to protect Darkkit the best way she can, and wonders if it would be best to keep him in his birth Clan or to take him to hers.

{~Leopardkit; Leopardpaw
{~ShadowClan Apprentice
{~Male
{~Eight Inches
{~Seven Moons

{~Mentor: Russetfur - dark ginger she-cat;; Played by Fernpaw

{~Appearance:

--black-spotted golden tom with white paws and green eyes

Named for the large spotted wildcats, his black-spotted golden pelt makes him look so close to the real thing, just smaller. Green eyes with a gold color around the pupil show all emotions as Leopardpaw feels them. The only thing that makes a difference in him is the two white paws that reside on his front paws. These white paws have three small black stripes making it very unusual. His teeth and claws are a nice ivory-white color to them; as well as his tongue is nearly as sharp as his claws when in a bad mood.

His left ear also has a large v-shaped cut toward the top and two small knicks on the bottom of his right, due to the fox attack when he was young. The spotted tail he has is actually quite long for a cat his size. The length of the tail helps keep his balance when he runs through marshlands in the territory. His tail is actually nearly as furry as his scruff with one small white stripe across the black tip. His belly is also a pale gold, nearly white color, which stretches from the bottom of his jaw to the base of his tail.

{~Personality:

To make things easy, Leopardpaw is a cat that obeys all the rules and does as he is told. He tends to keep quite and calm, listening when someone is talking, and barely talks himself. Leopardpaw doesn’t ever like to get into debated arguments when he knows there is no point and it will only result in needless violence. Although he does have a knack for getting into quarrels when he knows he is right; which if he is opposed will raise his temper. His mother once told Leopardpaw that he had her quite personality and his father’s quick anger. Currently the one thing that makes him mad is that no one will tell him about his father.

He does love to visit the elders and hear their stories of the old times, when danger was closely around every corner and they had to struggle against the fierce enemies that tried to destroy all the Clans and gain complete control. Leopardpaw also cares deeply about his friends and his Clan, and truly wishes that one day he could lead and help his Clan to be the best it can be by following the warrior code yet still hold the ShadowClan pride.

{~History:

Leopardpaw only really remembers what happened to his younger brother and his mother. Due to the fact that he never knew his father, name or anything, sort of makes him upset when he sees some of the other kits and apprentices who know their fathers. He remembered his mother scolding him about how he was so adventurous and that he was the reason his brother is with StarClan.

Leopardpaw had convinced his brother, Owlkit, when they were only a few moons old, to go exploring the territory. We traveled not to far away from the Twoleg Place near the camp, and they caught the scent of a fox. Knowing kits, they didn’t know if it was friendly or not, so they investigated. When Leopardpaw and Owlkit had seen the she-fox and her pups, they knew from stories that these weren’t animals to mess with. Leopardpaw had whispered to Owlkit to be quite so they could get back to camp, when they turned around Owlkit stepped on a twig that snapped.

Unknowingly to them the she-fox heard and leaped at the kits as they were leaving. One of her claws had caught Leopardpaw’s ear, leaving a knick. Leopardpaw had gotten to one of the bushes but Owlkit couldn’t, and the she-fox had grabbed Owlkit by the neck fiercely, breaking it.

When Leopardpaw got back to camp, his mother Spottedtail was so devastated and angry when he told her about what happened, and how Owlkit was gone. Over the next few sunrises, Spottedtail went into a sort of depression. Leopardpaw knew that Spottedtail liked Owlkit more then she ever would have him. One morning, an apprentice brought Spottedtail a piece of prey while Leopardpaw was sleeping. His clan-mates had told him that that is the reason his mother is gone.

{~Hawkkit; Hawkpaw
{~ThunderClan Apprentice
{~Tom
{~Eight Inches
{~Seven Moons

{~Mentor: Wildheart - brown tabby tom with amber eyes;; Played by Twitty

{~Appearance:

--muscular reddish-brown tom with ice-blue eyes and a white underbelly

Hawkpaw is said to be the spitting image of his mother, but the eyes of his loner father.

His fur is a deep, reddish-brown color in his fur. Reddish-black stripes cover his pelt, muscles rippling through his pelt. His stomach fur is a pure white reaching from the bottom of his jaw to the base of his tail. Yet, strangly, a solid, lonly white spot resides on the tail-tip and spots of white on his paws.

His claws are like every other apprentice's, ivory white and small due to his age; his teeth are the same way. Although his facial features are that of any other cat, his eyes are a strage color. Them being the same as his fathers, his eyes during the day and night are that of ice. As they are a very light blue color, yet when the full moon's light hits them the turn into a deep, dark blue.

His voice is rather strange, as he hasn't talked since the death of his parents, his voice is rather deep and rough when he does speak. He rarely speaks unless it's to his closest of friends, which at the moment he thinks he has none.

{~Personality:

Although he is shy and laid-back, Hawkpaw is very determined when he sets he mind on a goal, and is usually the one who reminds his friends of important tasks to be done. His hobbies include talking or sharing tongues with his friends, listening to his mentor, hunting, and even patrols. Hawkpaw was very close to his family, which consisted of his mother and Honeypaw, his younger sister, who is very nice to him before she died. Though he is very sensitive, Hawkpaw gets annoyed when cats hurt his feelings and could become dangerous when that happens.

Hawkpaw is known to have a fiery and unstable temper but has the personality of a great leader. He is a bit sensitive towards other cat's feelings and also his own. Hawkpaw has some issues with trusting cats because he is scared of being let down. At first he didn't trust the ThunderClan warriors either, as he believes they talk negatively about him behind his back, but he still has to come to understand that they are really his friends.

Hawkpaw becomes sort of a loner when someone talks about his mother or his sister, as he doesn't wish to dwell in the moments of his doubt about his Clanmates.

{~History:

His story begins as he was a newborn, as Hawkpaw knew himself that he was very sick. Russetflower had told him so many times that he should thank StarClan he was alive. Since the day he was born, Hawkpaw had gone back and forth to and from the Medicine Den to see the healer, as he would easily get greencough or sick with the littlest things and his body would make them fatal.

Then one sunset, a WindClan patrol got caught on ThunderClan territory, trying to steal prey. His mother had gotten caught in the fight before someone could leave for help, and Russetflower died at the paws of a cat named Weaselfoot. Yet everyone in the Clan knew he was half loner and half ThunderClan, yet he still felt like the didn't trust him, even as a kit; and every cat knew his father, the loner that kept coming into the territory to take him.

Yet when Russetflower died in the battle, Leok was there to jump for vengience. He single-handedly killed both Weaselfoot and a WindClan she-cat before both Clans took him out. The last words he had said was to a ThunderClan cat, "Look after my kits, he should be happy in your Clan, don't let him lose faith."

And when the patrol came back, bringing Russetflower's body, the told their leader what had happened before they buried Leok since they knew the queen wouldn't have wanted her son's father to be left for badgers and foxes. Hawkpaw was devistated when he found out about his mother, but gained faith at what the warrior had told him that his father had said.

Now that it is time for him to become an apprentice, he hopes that he can become the best that he can be, to prove himself to the Clan that he won't quite and run like a loner would, but stand and fight for his Clan and home.

{~Featherkit; Featherpaw
{~WindClan Apprentice
{~Female
{~Ten Inches
{~Seven Moons

{~Mentor: Duskfeather - bengal tom with golden eyes;; Played by Cedar

{~Appearance:

--short-haired silver she-cat with green eyes and slightly darker gray stripes

Featherpaw is a beautiful, lean, short-haired silver she-cat with semi-darker stripes covering her pelt. Her slender figure gives her the advantage of speed over strength; although she does have some muscle or she wouldn't be a good warrior.
Her emerald eyes give no source of her emotions within her gaze; specks of gold merges with the green to give a beautiful color.

Her claws are a pure ivory color while her paws are the average size of an apprentice, which help when running on the open moorlands. Featherpaw's tail is as average as any other apprentices' although it comes to a point with her fur getting long at the base and shorter towards the tip.

Featherpaw's chest fur is actually longer than the rest of her fur, like her tail, getting shorter towards her belly and tail. Her muzzle has a square shape to it, while her lip can curl over her teeth very easily, making her teeth somewhat easy to use. Featherpaw's left ear has a couple v-shape marks near the tip because of a fox attack when she wandered from camp with another apprentice, one whom had died because of the fox.

{~Personality:

The role Featherpaw playes she thinks is a small one. She believes herself to be to emotionless and calm to everyone she comes in contact with. Many warriors, even those from other Clans, have told her that she should have chosen to be a Medicine Cat; trained to be one, as they are healers.

Featherpaw always believed them to be wrong; she wanted to make her father proud, even with him in starClan. She knows her right and wrong, the risk that comes with being a warrior.

The emerald eyes that she posesses cover up all traces of her emotion unless she wills it to be let out. She gained this by practicing with others. Featherpaw could see that the other kits had tried to make her laugh, and each time she kept training herself to not let it out.

Although the only emotion that seems to escape her grasp, is that of her anger. Her sad or upset nature, won't show. The joy she can feel when being praised, out of the question. The anger she will feel when someone discriminates her, thats when the claws will slide.

The thought of her anger coming out is horrible to her; thats why she's ready to become a full aprentice with a mentor so she can learn to not let it come out all in one bag, but to possibly releave herself of it. Although secretly, she hopes someone can help her to let the other emotions out; and soon.

{~History:

Featherpaw was born as the only kit of her parents litter; and sadly enough, her mother died from loss of blood while giving birth to her. So it always made her father, Silverfang, very protective of his only kit with his mate.

As a kit, Featherpaw had left camp unnoticed with another kit, one named Rainkit. They had told themselves that they would find and catch a rabbit for the Clan. Yet instead of a rabbit, the two young kits found a mother fox, whom was out hunting for her pups. When the fox caught scent of the two kits; Featherpaw had yelled to Rainkit to start running. But instead of running in the direction they came from, Rainkit ran towards a different part of WindClan's territory, thats when the fox got to him.

Afterwards, the mother fox started after Featherpaw herself, that was until she ran into an oncoming patrol and they scared the fox away. Sadly, not before Featherpaw got her two v-shaped scars in her ear, then scolded by her father. Suddenly her world turned upside down just soon before she became an apprentice, Featherpaw lost her father, one a respected warriors in the Clan as he tried to protect it from a raid.

Now Featherpaw always thinks that she sees her father somewhere; watching her. Seeming like he's ready to give the advice he can to his only daughter; and sometimes, when someone mentions him, she will find a quite, lonely place, and just let it all out.
