Difference between revisions of "Heronflight"

:Heronkit is a she-cat with a thick pelt. Her fur is mostly brown, complimented by cascading strokes of ginger and grey, which give her a darker appearance. The tortoiseshell also bears dark tabby markings that slash down her body. They are easiest to see in the lighter parts of Heronkit's fur. Heronkit's ears are a little large, with light, rather noticable fur emerging from them. Although they were some shade of blue for the first moons of her life, Heronkit's eyes are changing to a yellow-amber color with hints of pale green.

:Heronkit's personality is pretty much formed. She is quite a vain, selfish cat, hating when things are not how she wants them, and streaks of manipulation and cunning are a part of her like the stripes that cover her pelt. Heronkit can also be unsympathetic and she can become violent when angry. On a lighter note, she is curious and enjoys seeing new places, but Heronkit is content to simply observe cats when she's in the right mood.

Heronkit has inherited her mother's bigoted attitude when it comes to blood purity. She currently views cats with little or no Clan blood in great disdain, believing them to be disgraceful. She also loathes the fact that she carries rogue blood in her veins, through her father. Heronkit continues to be fascinated by the memory of Ashstar and StarClan itself, and she has a growing interest in the details of the Great War and the other Clans in general. She would prefer to know as much about her enemies as possible, before she even meets them.

:Along with her siblings, Heronkit was born in the Moon of Long Nights, during the cold of leaf-bare, to the RiverClan she-cat Foxpoppy and a tom that Heronkit would not get the chance to meet. Her father, the RiverClan leader Ashstar, was brutally murdered by a horrible beast with no name, almost a moon prior to his kits' birth.

Heronkit was given her first real taste of displeasure when she was just seven-days-old. One evening, she was suddenly awakened by her mother. Foxpoppy was in a frenzy, yowling and running around in panic. Unbeknownst to Heronkit, the fuss had been caused by her brother, Smallkit, who was not breathing at the time. Startled an unaware of what was going on, Heronkit's only focus was on why her mother was no longer curled around Heronkit and her siblings. In an attempt to fix that, Heronkit cried at the top of her lungs. Her brother Needlekit joined in after Heronkit crawled into him during an attempt to reach their mother. Soon after, Foxpoppy returned to the nest, but Heronkit still felt ill at ease, not to mention unhappy, and continued to whine.

In her second moon, during the twelfth day of the Moon of Melting Waters, Heronkit's views on blood purity took shape. After witnessing a lengthy argument between her mother and Newheart, Heronkit began to view cats carrying dirty blood, as Heronkit calls it, with much dislike. However, Heronkit decided to keep her opinion to herself for the most part, so as to keep in good relations with Newheart's family.

When Heronkit was four-moons-old, she became even more adamant about such cats, after the abandoned Walnutkit came to RiverClan and Foxpoppy was made his care-taker. Heronkit was angry that she had to share her den with Walnutkit. She dislikes the kit greatly, sees him as even worse for the Clan than Newheart and her family, and considers him no part of her family. On another note, Foxpoppy's sickness and death from Killingcough seemed to have garnered little sympathy from Heronkit, who appeared merely annoyed by her mother's demise and the fact that she'd have to spend the rest of her fifth moon under Newheart's watch.
