Duskbriar

Duskbriar: Tall Tortoiseshell with silver eyes and thick fur. 

Duskbriar is seen as cold and closed off, almost scary. In Reality, they are simply calm and wants to be left alone, just has a intimidating appearance. It takes a lot for them to show any emotion besides :/ (aka being visibly nice, angry, sad, etc). They’re a skilled Riverclan warrior and one of the best swimmers. 

They were born in the early days of Team Rocket, named Silver. Mars (originally named Rosemary) was their littermate. The two were destined to run the group of something happened to Giovanni or Boulderdawn (Silver’s grandmother). Just not long before they opened their eyes, a member of Team Rocket kidnaps them to make his own group. 

Silver was now part of a small group with young cats and led by Icemask. They all went through ruthless training so Icemask can rebel against Team Rocket and the rest of the clans. Silver became really close to Brookthorn (Blue at the time) and they managed to escape months later.

They lived in the city for the rest of their childhood and a portion of their adulthood. The two often stole food from twolegs or other cats. The two grew to be very sneaky and scrappy, not caring about anyone else but themselves. They befriended Team Skull, the alley cats, but never joined them.

Blue begins having dreams about her old home, and she has an interest in finding it…which upsets Silver. It means they’ll be separated, and they will be alone…but kept that to themselves to make Blue happy. They’ve gotten into an argument about their “True Home” one day, which made Silver run off and was caught by a twoleg.

Silver lived as a kittypet for a couple of months with two new cats named Foggypaw and Specklepaw. The three became good friends during their confinement, and the they talked to Silver about the clans often. They suspected that Blue was a clan cat.

They managed to escape, and Silver finds Blue a little after Rocket disbanded (the first time) and they tell her about the clans (little did they know, Blue was helping the clans).

The two joined Riverclan and met Blue’s fathers; Jewelstar and Marvelscale. They joined them and gave themselves the new names of Brookthorn and Duskbriar.

Being in Riverclan was great, they enjoyed it, but still had that yearning feeling in looking for their birth family. They became pretty close to Shyclover, and spent most days fishing with him. Several months after settling in, Team Rocket returned and kidnapped Duskbriar and Sunnymeadow of Thunderclan. That’s when they discovered Giovanni and Athena, their parents.

Duskbriar and Sunnymeadow escaped. The Riverclan healers received a sign about Duskbriar’s father, and they were banished from the clan. Brookthorn joined and they stayed in N’s place temporarily. Thunderclan took them in until Team Rocket fell for the final time (hopefully). Duskbriar murders Giovanni, stays in N’s place for three months, and returns to Riverclan fully.

All is well, Shyclover and Duskbriar are mates and Jewelstar has been an excellent father (figure) to them. Six months later, there’s a flood in the forest and Duskbriar “drowns” while saving Penguinpaw. They survive and stay with a small group of strays. They befriend a super friendly cat who dies a saving her kits from a dog. When Duskbriar leaves, the kits decide to go with them.

They return to Riverclan with Furzekit, Thistlekit, and Violetkit. Shyclover and Duskbriar raise them, and raise two more kits later on named Crowkit and Robinkit.

Poor Duskbriar never gets a break. They had a pretty strained relationship with their first litter because of Giovanni, and then Violetspots runs away. When all of the kits were fully grown, Jewelstar and Marvelscale disappeared. Badgerstrike was placed as leader, and he banished Duskbriar (tried to kill them, actually!)

They resided in Skyclan and worked with them to get rid of Badgerstrike and company. Jewelstar and Marvelscale die, and Shyclover is made leader.

After all of that nonsense, Duskbriar lives a very peaceful life. Better relationship with their kits, close with Penguindusk, and never lost their friendship with Specklespark and Foggystar.

Duskbriar dies peacefully from an illness, their family stayed for their last moments.

Sadly, The Council of Stars did not allow them to join Starclan because of how dangerous their grandmother was. They believed they inherited their dark heart and had their spirit stay in the forest. Duskbriar stayed close to Pyrostorm until Robinpuddle successfully completed a trial from Starclan.
