KITHOOD:

Many mixed emotions surrounded the kitting of Cloudkit, Oriolekit, and Cardinalkit. Jaymask had nearly died having her first litter and only one kitten had survived. Thankfully, this time, she pulled through despite the complicated kitting and all three kittens survived. Flickercrest and Jaymask had already decided they’d name one of the kittens Cloudkit, after Flickercrest’s recently killed father. When they saw the last kitten of the litter and her likeness to the former leader, they knew she was the one. Cloudkit had a very good kithood, despite the threat of the rebellion looming overhead. She was loved by her parents and her older sister alike, never feeling unwelcome or having to struggle for attention. She was close to her littermates, attached to the two toms by the hip. Cloudkit wasn’t even a moon old when Shadowclan took refuge in Thunderclan. The youngster was immensely curious about them, but she mostly kept her distance. When Softpaw showed up, talking about the sacrifice of Twigshadow, Cloudkit didn’t question it. She was too young to understand was told not to pry. Around this time Stonestar and Smokefeather also showed up, inciting even more curiosity in young Cloudkit, though she was certainly too shy to approach two high ranks especially from another clan.

Cloudkit was too young to fully understand the severity of the situation, but old enough to know it wasn't good. She was a few moons old when news spread that Windclan was now seeking refuge with Riverclan, their home overtaken as well. Cinderfall, a Shadowclan cat sheltering in Thunderclan, went missing about a moon later. Around this time, the kittypet Rosie was found badly wounded for having tried to warn the clans about the dog attack. She was allowed to stay in Thunderclan, becoming Petalpaw. Her arrival had initially been scary for the youngster, for there had been so much blood, but she soon began to see Rosie as just any other clanmate. A moon later, when Twigshadow showed up alongside Carminefox and Cinnamonhawk after their bold escape, Cloudkit was yet again curious… How had he escaped death? She didn’t dare pry though. 

APPRENTICESHIP:

Cloudkit became Cloudpaw upon becoming six moons of age. She got along well with her mentor, Dandelionleap… even if his loud and somewhat cynical nature were unnerving at times. Cloudpaw and her brothers learned quickly under the tutelage of their mentors. Cloudpaw was a few moons into her apprenticeship when Mousefang and Ridgeback were found crossing the border. They were two Shadowclan cats who had managed to escape, but not without serious injury on Ridgeback's part. During this time, Flamestar and Sagestar made their moves against the rebels. They were victorious, killing some rebels and capturing others. Oakstar was killed alongside Begonialeaf, Shrikeclaw, Weaselface, Pythonsmirk, and Frostmoon. There were traitors among both Riverclan and Windclan. With this victory secured, Thunderclan and Shadowclan became restless as they waited for the calls of war. Cloudpaw was nervous at the thought. As an apprentice she knew she wouldn’t have to fight, but… she didn’t want her clanmates, even if she knew that the war was unavoidable. She was even more terrified when, a moon after Windclan was reclaimed, the body of Pipitscreech was discovered. She had told the clan that the Shadowclan rebels had intended to poison the herb supplies. Many lives had been saved, but Pipitscreech’s had been lost. It was a moon after this when Fernstar and Stonestar finally made their move. Again, the battle was won. Rebels of both clans were either killed or captured. Goldenheart, Rookstone, Roandune, Aldersnap, Alligatorgrin, Swiftbound, Barkhowl, and Firfrost were killed. Constellationwatcher, a more passive rebel, was exiled but allowed to keep his life. 

The number of Thunderclan rebels made Cloudpaw’s heart ache… Could there not have been some other alternative? Anything, to keep this horrible thing from happening… Goldenheart’s kits were brought back to Thunderclan camp to be raised…and their mother was executed due to her crimes. It was a horrific thing and Cloudfeather’s heart ached all the more for the young ones. But the rebellion was finally over. Things could move on. Kits who hadn’t been able to rank up in the takeover were granted that permission, along with apprentices to warriors. Warriors were allowed to take on specialized ranks again. Petalpaw, formerly Rosie, became Petalheart. It was a sign that happier days were on the horizon. Only a moon after the rebellion, Riverclan cats showed up on one peaceful day with a message for Fernstar. Cloudpaw couldn't help but wonder that perhaps something was wrong. She wondered if her grandmother would address it that Day, but she didn’t. A moon later two rogues, Abaddon and Diesel, attacked a large patrol. Diesel was killed, but Abaddon escaped- but not before it was revealed that Vipervenom was her son. More mixed blood in the clan… though Cloudpaw held no suspicion towards them, only sympathy for the hardships that they would surely face. 

The following moon, the first gathering after the rebellion was held and it was there that the message the Riverclan cats had run became common knowledge. The leaders and medicine cats had received dreams that they must fulfill a prophecy by going on a journey. A specialized rank and two warriors from each clan were chosen. Twilightspring, Bumbleflight, and Mapleraven were chosen to represent Thunderclan. A small part of Cloudpaw wished that she could have gone with them, but she knew she needed to stay and finish her training. Not long after the twelve left, the kittypet gang leader’s body was found, with three kittens by her side. She had died giving birth to them. Runners were once again sent to the clans and, this time, Windclan took them in. Perhaps a new leaf was turning… but Cloudpaw couldn’t help but worry for the future of those who had blood tied to the rebellion and the kittypets.

WARRIORHOOD:

Cloudpaw didn’t have too much time to worry, for she soon was given her warrior name- Cloudfeather. It was a joyous time, filled with so much excitement. She couldn’t help but enjoy the new freedom that her new rank had brought her. During the end of her apprenticeship, she had also begun to take notice of the cute toms around the clan… and now that she was a little older and more mature (in her book, at least) perhaps she could start dipping her toes in the social pool. But where to even start!? The twelve journeying cats returned two moons after Cloudfeather became a warrior with news of a new place called a beach. Cloudfeather would come to love going to the beach any chance she got to listen to the seagulls and the waves crashing on the shore. That wasn’t all the news that they brought though. They revealed that there had once been a fifth clan and that said clan had left after the other four forced the outsiders in the area out. Cloudfeather was horrified by her clan’s history… though it was all said and done now. It had been revealed that Dixie had been originated from Skyclan… and that had been her motive. Still, that didn’t make it okay… though Cloudfeather did feel a small drop of sympathy for her. But, at last, they had some answers… and normalcy returned to the clans as the last of the delayed apprentices were made warriors a couple moons after the revelation of Dixie's past lineage. Burnpaw, Thunderclan’s medicine cat apprentice, became Burnflower. A couple moons later and Constellationwatcher, since beginning to go by Constantine, was found and killed on Thunderclan territory. The loss of a life was a hard thing for Cloudfeather to face... yet, Constantine had been warned... 

POSITIVE: Charismatic - Sweet - Inquisitive

Cloudfeather has a very sweet, endearing air around her. Even as an adult she does her best to try and bring smiles to the faces of others. She’s quite likeable and many find it hard to stay irritated with her for long, if she even manages to irritate them to begin with. Cloudfeather never lost her inquisitive nature, always wanting to explore more about the world around her. She will never pass up the opportunity to learn more, no matter what the topic may be.

NEUTRAL: Affectionate - Neat - Ambitious

Cloudfeather is a very touchy-feely cat, which could be seen as positive or negative. She absolutely loves physical interaction and, while this is very endearing, it can sometimes verge over towards clinginess. Like her mother and elder sister, Cloudfeather likes her area to be neat and tidy- along with herself. You'd never guess how much time she spends trying to tame her wild curls. It comes as no surprise that the granddaughter of Thunderclan's leader and former leader seems to have leaderly traits about her. She has ambition, to a degree, despite her soft nature. She feels that she has big pawsteps to follow,.

NEGATIVE: Gullible - Self-sacrificing - Overprotective

Despite being a bit older and wiser, Cloudfeather is still a bit gullible. She has a hard time believing that there are cats out there who would want to manipulate and use her. Cloudfeather puts all others above herself. It’s good to be selfless, but Cloudfeather pushes those limits by giving all to others and not taking much for herself. She’s a bit overprotective of those she cares for… and it is in this way that she harbors a hidden temper. Nobody has seen it yet but, then again, she’s not caught anyone threatening her loved ones yet either.
