Personality:
A planner by nature, everything has a place in her mind and she prefers to keep it that way. Often finding herself agitated when things are not such this way. She will often offer to help with the upkeep of dens even now to make sure they are orderly. Lamb is always thinking up new ideas on how to make life better for everyone, both in public appearance and in internal affairs. While most of these ideas are pliable for others, some of her more extreme ones are kept to herself even if they are the ones she believes in the most. With a natural charm and kindness about her, she knows how to talk with others to motivate and inspire, and make her personality stand out in a room. Best described as a “mom friend” Lamb easily finds herself taking on a more motherly role towards those younger than her, nurturing and gentle, but can be a bit much for some and easily slips into be rather overbearing. 

Just as she is often thinking up new ideas, she enjoys tinkering around with physical things and activities as well despite being long since grown up she even goes through phases of testing out new techniques she may think up, going off on mostly her own whims. Her way of approaching the world and speaking highly different from a lot of her clanmates, while some see her odd aura and speech as endearing, others can easily find it off-putting especially when adding in how muted her expression tends to be. She often speaking poetically, referencing the life cycle and behavior of birds quite often, her most common nickname for others being "Little Bird". 

Perhaps even adding to the off-putting way she speaks is the fact that Lamb is a bit too fascinated with the concept of death. She seems unbothered, even enthusiastic about the idea of death, having a heavy interest in looking at the bones of various animals. She speaks of it frequently and has gained such a fascination into what happens after death because of it. However despite not meaning to this behavior can often come off as her being unfeeling towards those who have lost. This is not helped by the fact her face and voice don't often emote very much, appearing very placid most of the time or at worst mockingly smiling at whoever is around. It is hard to tell how she feels about other cats at times. 

Due to her heavy desire for innovation to life itself, she is highly fixated on these goals, she cannot shake her recurring thoughts or ideas for the future. Even if it's in best interest at the moment she has a hard time letting things go. Stubborn to her core and often easily falls into obsessing over small details and plans. Clinging to them desperately even if they don't work out or are starting to fail. 

History: 
Lamb was born to two loving parents and a brother who wasn't so much. He was angry that she stole his parents attention away from him. However her brother had little time to actually show how he felt about his little sister, desperate to keep up appearances and not wanting to put himself at odds with other cats. Unaware of her brother's true feelings about her she attached herself to him fast. This attachment made her even more excited when she was finally made an apprentice and give to her brother's friend. Already a weird cat in the nursery and apprentice den she took very well to this other weird cat in the kingdom. 

However only a moon into her apprenticeship her parents became ill and rapidly deteriorated until their demise. Lamb ended up retreating into her brother rather than her mentor as he was the only family she had left at that point. Lamb not being very good at expressing her emotions already. Although despite her grief, Lamb finds herself oddly enamored with death after a brief talk with her mentor after they pulled her aside one day. Even as she sought out her brother more, their words stick in her mind any time she faced death seeing something oddly beautiful in it. 

As he is the only one she has left, her brother started growing fond of her in a sense, enjoying having someone that needed to lean on him, thinking he could get Lamb to be even more like him and get a dynamic duo out of the two of them he began attempting to sway her opinion of the Empire based on how he wished to follow it, thinking that maybe he would eventually get her help in taking over the Empire with him in change as he believed he'd do far better than the system they currently had. Lamb going along with his words because she wanted the best for the Empire and to make him happy.  

Eventually however her brother's nitpicking and controlling nature began to get on Lamb's nerves and it eventually ended with the two having a fight which ended in, to Lamb's surprise, her brother apologizing and agreeing to step back. Days later he even offered to take her on a walk as he knew she loved just enjoying the territory and it would be nice to spend one last outing with her as an apprentice as her ceremony was rapidly approaching yes? However despite two cats leaving only one cat returned, memories were foggy in her mind, words lost to moons. She just wanted to lay down, physically she was fine but emotionally she seemed so very distant as she answered, she knew what happened with her brother, but she doesn't want to remember. So she decided not to. 

With him gone now her speech grew even stranger, speaking almost in tongues. She is avoidant to talk about those she has lost and always changes the subject when it comes to her brother. It was a new dawn now, she was going to treat it as one.
