Cindermist

Cindermist is a dark gray she-cat with patches and spots of dark gray, almost black. Her eyes are a bright, sky blue, with thick lashes. Her fur is thick and curled, and seems especially thick around her cheeks, haunches, chest, neck, and tail. A swirl of fur is placed atop her head, and even her whiskers curl slightly. On the tips of her ear are small tufts of dark fur. She is solidly built, but still lithe, and often has an air of judgment to her.

+Clever+
Cindermist is a quick thinker; it's rare for her to be stumped by something.

+Protective+
Especially of her sister, Featherfern. There's little she won't do for someone she loves.

+Reserved+
She tends to keep to herself, only approaching someone if she has a reason to, or if she's close to them.

-Smart-Mouthed-
She has a hard time holding her tongue, and it's gotten her into her fair share of trouble in the past.

-Nosy-
Whenever there's drama, you can bet Cindermist is the first cat on the scene.

-Bitter-
Mostly towards her brother. She sees what Tigerstorm is trying to do, and is bitter towards him for ever leaning into his manipulation in the first place.

{Kithood}
Cinderkit was born alongside Featherkit and Tigerkit to two parents: Lionclaw and Rosesong. Before Cinder even has full memory of it, her parents also decide to adopt a lone kit by the name of Rabbitkit. The four of them grow up alongside each other; though they squabble, Cinder gets along with most of her family, but is especially close with Featherkit, a sister of hers who looks the most similar to her out of all the other kits.

When the kits are five moons, their father dies from his wounds after defending his Clan as a guard. Cinderkit was devastated, and for a time, became clingy over her living family members. She would fret every time one of them got hurt, thinking that they would share the same fate as Lionclaw. Tigerkit begins blaming Rabbitkit for the death of Lionclaw, but Cinderkit doesn't believe him: after all, Rabbitkit didn't hurt Lionclaw.

{Apprenticeship}
Cinderkit becomes apprenticed to Loudroar to become a Wave Diver. Cinderpaw quickly finds that her thick, curly fur is actually perfect to protect her most vulnerable parts of her from the chill of the sea. She learns quickly and diligently, and having a purpose helps pull her out of the rut that is grieving over her father. Her mentor's happy-go-lucky mentality also kept her from becoming too broody and dark- she found herself looking forward to her training sessions, especially as a means to escape family drama.

And boy, was there drama. Once they hit apprentice ages, Tigerpaw went from broody to full on controlling. His attempts to keep Cinderpaw and Featherpaw away from Rabbitpaw were all but constant, and Cinderpaw was quickly beginning to find her brother insufferable to be around. She, regrettably, hung around her sister less because of this, as wherever Featherpaw was, Tigerpaw was never far behind. She did, however, make a point to still speak to Rabbitpawm despite Tigerpaw's insistance.

{Warriorhood}
After twelve long moons of training, Cinderpaw proudly becomes Cindermist. As she goes to congratulate her family, she is appalled to find out that Tigerpaw (now Tigerstorm) is trying to bar her from seeing Featherfern. It also does not escape her notice how.... quiet, and subdued Featherfern seems to be. Cindermist is furious, and is now trying to talk some sense into both of them. Hell, if she has to get Leopardflower involved, so be it.
