☀ Nightfire ☀
NAME: Nightkit - Nightpaw - Nightfire
GENDER: female
AGE: 36 moons
CLAN: Shadowclan
POSITION: Warrior
SHORT DESCRIPTION: Black and orange she-cat with strange orange amber eyes.
APPEARANCE:
Nightfire is a not a short she-cat but she is also not a large one either. She has muscle from all her hard work for the clan along with a few scars from past battles and kicking intruders out with her clan mates, perhaps a few from her own clan mates too. Her most noticeable scar is a slight tear in her left ear from a clan mate, otherwise her scars are hidden with her fur. She is a mostly black she-cat with some orange on her chest and neck, a few small strands on the right side of her face. She also has orange strands along her back, blending in with the black, though her tail has more orange at the tip and her back left paw. Her eyes are a strange orange, amber color.
PERSONALITY:
Nightfire isn’t the most friendly of cats when you try to get to know her. She’s distant and silent, not one to make friends easily or at all, but don't be fooled if you talk to her and she knows something she probably shouldn't, having been watching and listening everything she can. She does have respect for her clan leaders, but others have to earn it and its not an easy thing to do. She is a bit cold too, being one to tell you how it is straight up or to tell half-truths, or maybe just be sarcastic to get others to leave, you wont know how she will react until you talk to her. If one is able to penetrate the cold exterior that she shows and gives others and is able to get through the wall she has, they will see that she can actually be caring and perhaps even nice. Even though she is how she is, she is still very loyal to her clan, never once would she think of helping another cat over her own clan mates. Nightfire is a cat who is quick to fight back if she is pushed to it, not having a great hold on her temper either. She feels like she has to prove herself even though she is Shadowclan born, it is from being picked on as a kit and apprentice from being smaller than the others. Nightfire is one who isn't big on taking risks unless she knows the outcome would be in her favor. It is fairly easy for Nightfire to control the emotions on her face until her temper is snapped, otherwise its hard to know what she is thinking.
HISTORY:
Nightfire, Nightkit at the time was born with her sister Skykit. Since it was leaf-bare their mother didn’t have a much to give them as she might have in green-leaf so they were both a little smaller than normal, but it wasn’t by much. Nightkit and Skykit stuck together and were always going to the elders to stories and trying to bug warriors or apprentices to show them some hunting and fighting moves. Sometimes it worked, sometimes they were told no and made to leave to the nursery.
When they were made into apprentices, Nightpaw and Skypaw never really wanted to train together, having wanted to see who was better at the end of everything. Skypaw grew to be a normal apprentice size while Nightpaw never really grew as big as her sister or the others, being only slightly smaller than the others. When the apprentices were alone with no warriors around or elders or leaders, they would exclude Nightpaw in activities and sometimes call names, mostly about her size. Nightpaw put all her energy into training, though mostly it was her fighting. It was on one of those lone hunts where her mentor put her to a challenge against another apprentice and it was during this hunt that the apprentice she was hunting against decided that it would be a good time to sneak up on her and surprise attack her, show her that she was too small to do anything but be a kit. Before Nightpaw could catch her second prey, a squirrel she was after, the apprentice jumped out at her from a bush and slashed her ear which resulted from her scar now. Nightpaw actually won this battle but there would be more to come.
By the time she was made into a warrior, Nightfire had made sure that she wasn’t picked on again and that they knew the consequences of doing so. This is what caused her to be closed off, silent and distant, cold to others. She is close to her sister Skywater, their mother dead and father an elder now, though she isn’t close to anyone else. A few months after she was made into a warrior, her and her sister went out hunt together, but came across a fresh yet empty den from a fox. They decided to go and check it out, scout the fox to see if it was small or full grown or if it had pups then one of them would run back to tell their leader. It turned out it was just a lone young fox who was in the process of tearing into a rabbit when the wind must have changed and it blew their sent towards the fox. Now they could have ran, but it would have led the fox towards camp, so they fought knowing a patrol was coming their way soon. They were able to dive the fox off in the end without the help of the patrol with no major injuries that would hinder them from being a warrior still. The cats that used to pick on her as an apprentice now don't, having proved herself over and over again, but with how she will retaliate, they learned better.
