Lightbird of DappleClan

[Sunny]

Name:

Lightbird

Age:

29 moons

Gender: 

She-cat

Appearance:

Lightbird is a pretty white-and-grey tabby she-cat. Her muzzle is completely white except for a circle of grey on the left side where the whiskers are. Another bit of grey runs down from her left eye about a claw-length from the circle of grey. Underneath Lightbird's left eye is all grey, and a line of grey reaches under her chin. Underneath Lightbird's right eye is a bit of grey that almost reaches the inside corner of the eye. Her back is completely gray, with a white, furry underbelly. Her tail has long white fur, and is spotted with grey. Her neck is almost all white except for a bit of grey on the left side. Her nose is dark pink, almost red, with black lining the edges. Her eyes are a deep green, but not dark; almost shadowy leaf-green. Lightbird's mouth is on the small side, making her look dainty; though that is completely contradicting to her true personality! Her ears are slightly ragged, and have hardly any fur in the inside. The fur that is inside her ears are grey.

Personality:

Lightbird is a tough she-cat, never afraid to challenge an older or more experienced cat. She is very bold; sometimes too bold for her own good. But just because she is proud and courageous on the outside, she can be very loving and caring to other cats, especially kits. She knows that the more she loves, the more she can protect, and the more she can protect, the more the better. Lightbird loves to protect everything and everyone in the Clan, as long as it's worth holding on to. Despite her warm gestures to other cats, she is also strict and stern when teaching or watching over someone. It's most likely that the other cats would think she is too strict, but the real reason for it is so that she can become respected. Lightbird loves her Clan in all ways, and she doesn't want to let them down by being disrespected by other Clans. But sometimes those goals leave her to become ambitious. She doesn't use her ambitions badly, but sometimes she pushes it too hard to gain respect and power. She is even more frustrated because her sister, Dovestar, is leader. Living with that frustration gives of a short temper when she doesn't get what she wants. Though she tries to control it, it's sometimes too hard for her. Lightbird enjoys fishing and running. Though she is not the lazy type, she often relaxes beside the Water Pool, sharing tongues with another cat. She likes to have a break from her duties sometimes, even if it's a short one. Lightbird likes to think she is the best fisher in the Clan; she loves the feel of the water as she dips her paw in to scoop out a fish. Hence, she practices fishing a lot; you will most likely find her pulling out a fish at the Water Pool or the stream source. However, how strange it might sound, Lightbird dislikes swimming. She always feels as though her fur is dragging her down to the bottom of the water, and when she gets out, she can't dry herself off, leaving her to walk back to camp shivering under her own pelt. In that way, she feels excluded, even though it's no other cat's fault. Other than fish, Lightbird loves to eat mice and squirrels; they remind her of the musty smell of trees, which she loves. Though she loves the trees themselves, she doesn't like climbing them; in fact, she hates climbing them, in fear she'd fall off or get stuck. Her legs are strong enough, but as she doesn't practice climbing, her skills are miserable and useless. Other than practicing climbing, she loves to improve her skills in all circumstances; even swimming. Lightbird loves setting goals for herself, such as catching forty-five fish in one day. Every quarter moon she creates a new goal.

History:

When young Lightkit for the first time saw the leader of DappleClan, Aspenstar, call a meeting, she realized with a jolt that she wanted to become one too. All through kit-ship she obeyed her mother; never wandering off alone without Daisyfeather or a warrior. She never left her siblings alone ever, unless they were playing a game of hide-and-seek! Though she loved her sisters equally, Lightkit did not like Mottlekit as much. Her sister was lazy and manipulative, and Lightkit always thought there was something strange about her. Though, as Mottlekit's sister, she still loved her.

When Lightpaw was apprenticed to Talonberry, she noticed that her sister Dovepaw was working hard too. Lightpaw wondered all the time, Does she want to become a leader, too? Nervous, the gray-and-white she-cat worked harder than ever to achieve her goal of leader. She told her mentor what she dreamed of, and Talonberry promised to train her harder than ever. Lightpaw was almost certain she would become leader.

About a moon after Lightbird and her siblings were made warriors, Aspenstar's deputy Pikefern died. Aspenstar named Doveheart, Lightbird's sister, deputy. Jealous, Lightfern turned her back on her sister for a few moons, not having anything to do with her; she avoided going on patrols with her, slept in a nest on the opposite side of the den that Doveheart slept, and never shared a piece of fresh-kill with her.

Until one day, Aspenstar lost her last life due to an unnecessary fight against ShadeClan, leaving Dovestar leader. Lightbird would be expected to become even more jealous; but instead, she grew to respect her new leader, working hard to follow in her sister's pawsteps. She began to love Dovestar again, and promised her she would never leave her side.
