Willowcloud [complete]

On the outside, Willowcloud tends to look unapproachable, even cold at times, due in part to her wariness of strangers, but once cats get to know her, she's quite friendly. She's a sensible cat, curious when it comes to exploring and learning new things, and very blunt about her opinion. She can be headstrong at times, and is prone to getting annoyed or even agitated when things do not go her way, but that doesn't mean she can't acknowledge when someone else is right.

She is a Darkclan cat, through thick and thin; she is loyal to her Clan first and foremost and would risk her life for anyone of her clanmates. She is one of the most hardworking and devoted cats you can come by, always ready to help others when they need and will try to do what's right for her Clan. She wants nothing more than to prove herself to her clanmates, and she hopes to one day accomplish that.

Willowkit was born in Darkclan to Palewing and Falconear, along with her brother Patchkit. Back then, her days consisted of playing chase with her sibling, exploring every inch and cranny of her Clan's camp grounds, and visiting the elders to hear about the Clans history; from Fearclan's rise and the twoleg's invasion, to the most recent departure of the newly founded Skyclan that happened a few moons after her birth. She'd loved hearing those stories, and they soon become a big part of her motivation to become a great warrior that could one day go on special missions of her own and fight for her Clan in the same way others had done in the past.

When she became an apprentice, she vowed to learn all she could and aimed to make her mentor Spiderstep proud, but she found herself having difficulty when it came to hunting, as her mainly white pelt stood out in the shadowy grounds of Darkclan's territory. Due to this, she worked harder than ever to adapt to her surroundings, honing her skills so that even if she could not blend into the territory, no possible prey would ever hear her coming. This helped her became a sly and cunning cat, that transferred exceedingly well in her fighting abilities, as she made her sneak attack her main technique against intruders. 

At her warrior ceremony, she was given the name Willowcloud, in honor of her nature to be both silent but fearsome, alongside her brother Patchfire. She was proud to be recognized for her skills and knew one day, she would do whatever it took to make sure her Clan would thrive. And so, she did what she could for here Clan, all while hoping for her time to come where she could truly prove herself.

However, when a fire broke out in the forest and started blazing through her Clan's camp, she found herself utterly helpless to do anything. Everything happened so fast and yet it had felt like she was too slow to do anything. Cats had been running in every direction, trying to flee from the scorching flames, the shouts and cries of her Clanmates deafening to her ears, and Willowcloud had been helpless to help, the commotion of it all too much to bear. In the end, she too had fled when the smoke had become too much for her lungs to handle.

Once she'd gotten far enough away, she'd watched what was left of her Clan from afar; a burning wasteland that had once been her home; gone forever in an instant. And yet, she could not watch her once mighty Clan die off just like that. She would do whatever it took to find her Clanmates that had survived and do whatever it took to restore it to its former glory. And so she set out with this promise in mind, knowing she could not fail, like she had before.

Her Clan needed her more than ever, and she would not rest until her mission was complete.
