Positive Traits
positive >
    >> Adaptable >  Oftentimes when Rippletide finds herself in various situations, and or different circumstances she’ll adjust given time. Using her brain to find her way and learning to adapt to her surroundings and fellow cats.

    >> Meticulous > Being the cat she is, Rippletide is very keen on many things, oftentimes she’ll notice the smallest details allowing herself to catch onto things that others might just miss or choose to ignore. To her being aware of things can be of use especially when it means she knows something is up, or a cats little secret.

    >> Intelligent > Like her mother Swirlwind, Rippletide often enjoys learning all she can about anything and everything. After all, knowing certain things could always prove useful later on should she need it. The she has a tendency to not easily forget many things and is quite to quick learner.

neutral >
    >> Subjective > Rippletide's thoughts and actions tend to be heavily based on her own personal feelings towards things or others, acting only by her opinions rather than attempting to think fairly. She often acts on something in a way that corresponds with her thoughts towards something depending on what or who they are.

    >> Determined > When making a decision, Rippletide will stick to it after firmly agreeing not to turn back on it, often this being that she’ll even down right refuse to change her mind not letting anything and even fellow cats get in her way. However this does allow her to be decisive having less hesitancy towards things, letting her be able to make the first move.

    >> Irreverent > When Rippletide doesn’t like or agree with something and or someone, she’ll often tend to show a lack of respect for said thing or even a cat who proposed a certain idea or action, as well as just a cat in general. Oftentimes her distaste for something will leave her to make remarks or think poorly of whoever or whatever even if it is something some would consider serious or important. Though this does allow her to step up and tell someone if they are in the wrong, and keeps her speaking with confidence.

negative >
    >> Vain > While she may not be as bad as before her change of heart, Rippletide does still tend to care about her outer appearance. Her vanity can sometimes affect her overall mood, should she feel her outward appearance is below the average or inferior to others she ends up acting more moody and sour for a bit. Now with her scared pelt she can't help but feel a bit disheartened, feeling more down now then before her pelt had been trickled with scars.

    >> Reticent > Rippletide can’t help but blame herself when things go wrong, she can’t shake the idea that she simply is bad luck for anyone or anything around her, genuinely believing she has a curse. Often she has a hard time communicating with others feeling like a burden or simply unable to break past her own barriers leaving her to her own reserved solitude with her untrusting mindset.

    >> Cunning > Often or not, Rippletide tends to be more skillfully sly by tricking others sometimes through deception, manipulating things or cats in a means of benefit, whether it be for information or something else. Exploitation is something some cats just don’t want, which she’ll use as a means of a back up plan to force a cats paw into doing as she says if her deceit doesn’t seem to work. Besides, to her, some secrets are better off staying that way, not everyone wants their secrets to be told.

Mental Disorder > PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder):

After experiencing and taking part of all the stress and guilt of being one of the spies Rippletide developed PTSD via her near fatal and traumatic battle with the Dark-Forest cat. Moons of built up stress finally snapped.
    Rippletide often experiences vivid memories and flashbacks of her time with the dark forest, often recalling her stressful encounters, and battles. Most prominently the cats she murdered and some of the Dark-forest cats she formerly worked with. Especially Blizzardfang, as well as Snakeheart, though Blizzardfang being much more prominent seeing how she has an intense fear of her. Discussion of certain topics or things that could remind her of any of these can cause her to start remembering an instance or moment of time around those topics and begin to feel that stress again which can trigger her. Whether it be her freezing up and recalling occurrences, a panic attack, sense of dread, or shift in behavior such as an angry burst out, etc.
    Because of her constant traumatic inducing experiences Rippletide often has constant intense nightmares leading to her developing Night Terrors, during which she has intense episodes that consist of screaming or crying sometimes, all the while feeling intense fear. She’ll even start to flail or move around in her sleep while unconscious. Because of this there will be some nights where she just has trouble sleeping or doesn’t get much sleep at all.
    Rippletide doesn’t like being left all alone out of fear that she’ll be attacked or revisited by cats of her past, the idea often freaks her out. So when left all alone she can start to panic and will experience mood swings while she freaks out for a little bit. The notion of being dragged back to the Dark-Forest haunts her at night.
    After her near death and other factors, Rippletide finds herself not being able to trust anyone, constantly feeling uneasy. Her reactions to things are more prominent, on top of which she’ll just try and avoid talking about certain things or just being near something, overall becoming more avoidant, distant, and untrusting.

Cats who remind her of certain others such as; Blizzardfang, Snakeheart, Robinear, Other spies, Pigeoncall, et. can cause her to tense up and stress her out.

kithood [ 0 - 6 moons ] >
   Ripplekit was second born to Swirlwind and Burdockbounce along with her older brother Swirlkit and two young sisters Whorlkit and Whirlykit, both of which happen to be twins. Maybe she'll just stick near her siblings however, this kit would get use to things on her own terms and with her family for the time being.

Things seemed to be going fine in life, making allies with some of the older cats in camp, hanging out more. Just normal things really, what could go wrong? She'd heard about some war that ended before she was born, but that had passed, things were peaceful.

Things have been rather steady in camp with Hailclan thriving, Ripplekit had even met a new cat named Robinear, a fellow Hailclanner who had offered to show her a mint bush with in the camp. The two hung out and rather enjoyed themselves, even shared the same interests! Ripplekit found herself looking up to the She-cat, considering them as a cool role model.

Things seemed to change rather quickly as time goes by huh? Ripplekit had been hanging out with her siblings watching as her sisters and brother played, only to hear a loud screech in the sky followed by a large shadow. With in a split second their sister Whorlykit was swept away and loud shrieks of near by cats began as they were all frantic. Their mom bolted after the large hawk that carried their sister as the three of them were herded into the nursery. Whirlykit was in shock, probably more than even herself and Spiralkit were. The sounds of loud crys slowly drowned out as Ripplekit peaked out the nursery watch her mother slowly go further and further away into the distance, trying to get their sister back.

Days went by, and their mother Swirlwind was never to be seen again. Their father Burdockbounce had moved into the nursery to look after the newly three of them. Whirlykit stopped smiling as much as she use to that day, Spiralkit now sits at the entrance of the nursery waiting for their mom and sister to come back. As for Ripplekit, she felt something crack inside her, like a frozen lake covered in ice. Ripplekit looked up to her mother, always found comfort in her, but now that was taken away from her. 

As the Festival of Leaves came, Ripplekit, along with many other kits from other clans, as well as her siblings had gone to EmberClans Camp to meet one another and simply hang out. There she had started acquainting herself with some cats she deemed some what alright. Somewhere along the lines after claiming their was only the three of them, her and her siblings, Whirlykit protested claiming their was actually four of them, that was when Ripplekit snapped at her Sister lashing out at her about getting over their other sister. As drama stirred things went down hill after Spiralkit swiftly got involved, soon enough they had gotten into an argument which transitioned into verbal fighting before Ripplekit got up and left after feeling a tad stung by Spirals words. 

Right after their small little fight during the festival Ripplekit was named Fall Princess. Frankly she rather injoyed the title, if anything it made her feel speical. Her mood in proved somewhat for the rest of the day but not before bossing a few unlucky young cats around. Though she hadn't forgotten what her brother had said.

Their relationship has been spiraling down since. If they aren't fighting, they're trying to avoid eachother. She doesn't look up to her older brother no more, infact she does't look up to any of her close family much anymore. She doesn't need them, she can go alone if she wanted to, everything is fine, right?

apprenticeship [ 6 - 12 moons ] >
Upon reaching the age of 6 moons Ripplekit had been given to train under the warrior known as Oriolechirp, hence forth she would be known as Ripplepaw along with her siblings Spiralpaw, and Whirlpaw. She was more then happy to finally leave the nursery, she no longer was a small kit. In all honesty, Ripplepaw was some what glad to have Oriolechirp as their mentor, she was eggar to start learning, she wanted to learn how to hunt, how to fight, she just hopes her mentor isn't some stick in the mud.

 The more time went on, the more the internal ice grew within her, it seemed to be getting colder now with her role as an apprentice. But she didn't care. She'd rather just let the feeling grow. It's fine.

Somehow there came a day were Ripplepaw finally made a friend, well, maybe more like an acquaintance in her eyes. They were about her age, Dustpaw, however she began to notice she would hang out with her brother Spiralpaw sometimes, leaving her to not trust the other she-cat most times.

While out on a mid night stroll, Ripplepaw had decided to hang out by one of her faverout spots by the Hail and Ember border, the Bathing Boulders. However, while there she'd met a rather exceptionally good looking tabby with excellent blue gray fur. The two had talked, captivated by the cats charm, she'd learn their name was that of Mothpaw. As it would turn out, they both had a lot in common, allowing a friendship to blossom then and there on that fine night. 

Time passed before Ripplepaw caught wind of her friend switching to the life of a kittypet. To be honest, she didn't blame them, Ripple had no harsh feelings toward her friend who's name had been changed to Marshall instead. Perhaps she'd someday get in the chance to visit them, maybe bring them a little gift or the such. Ether way, life would continue to go on.

Soon enough her days as an apprentice finally came to a end, no more restrains or restricitons. No more being treated like a kit.

 warriorhood [ 12 - 26 moons ] >

Finally after hard work and practice over the course of a few long moons, Ripplepaw finally earned her warrior name, Rippletide, along side her siblings, Whirlywind, and Spiralroot. Though she wished her mother could've seen it, she was glad to see her sibling being giver their mothers suffix, it was nice, though she would never admit these feelings toward Whirlywind. 

While making their way from the ceremony her brother Spiralroot mentioned something that would echo in her mind as he told her, " Mom would be so proud of you. " From there she watched her brother head off. She simply stared, how could she respond to that? Rippletide looked away once he'd left, only to head off after.

Days kept passing by before finally reaching new leaf. Where there should've been new life, Rippletide among many other cats were greated with death surrounding them as cats began falling ill from white cough. She was careful as to not get it herself but then she'd herd news of her older brother catching the disease, as if her list of things to stress about couldn't get longer. They don't see eye to eye but she still hopes they have a speedy recovery, losing two family members are already two too many. Prior to that however, news of her only in clan friend around her age had passed after falling out of a tree, Rippletide got quieter, more colder towards cats who weren't friends or family. 

       But there was something else. Around the time she had freshly just been made a warrior Rippletide had met a mysterious cat blue-grey tabby with white spotting, and icey blue eyes. The stranger promised to help make her rise to greatness and glory, offering things that Rippletide couldn't turn away. She wanted what she deserved. The stranger introduced herself as Blizzardfang, which in all honesty sounded suiting for the mysterious dead cat. With that Rippletide found herself following the she-cat into the Dark-Forest, well more or less. Given she was more thrown into it with a rather interesting introduction, something along the lines of, With my guidance I can assure you will end up on the top of your clan, but only if you listen and do what I say, or some speech like that. Though it should be noted wasn't the only recruit from the looks of it, rather there was six other cats from all across the clans, serval cats in total including herself. It was quite the sight, guess this cat knew what they were doing. Though reckoned Ripple was only partially surprised to see Robinear there, she hadn't expected to see her but then again, it made sense with their sense of character. It was sort of reasurring to have her there, in some odd twisted way. Rippletide opted to stay close to Robinear, wanting to stay near a fimiliar face, hopefully she could impress. Finally she had the chance to stick it to the stars, might as well embrace this icey feeling, whatever it be.
     Meetings in the dark forest began happening frequently after their initial introduction, often causing Rippletide along with other trainees to act more cranky and tired, though she tried to play it off for other reasons, besides it's not like anyone else would even aproch her. She tended to act shady, not like it was out of character, often being considered distant so it seemed like others didn't pay too much attention to it. 

Recently there's been quite a bit of heavy rains over in Hailclan, she's been a bit skeptical of that this'll end well. Perhaps she should start planning ahead in case the worst happens. 

Unluckily for her and the rest of Hailclan she would realize her worries were correct. The heavy rains combined with snow melting off the mountain caused the territory to flood, she remembers the sudden rush of water and the chaos that ensued. She along with her sibling Whirlywind rushed to help get Spiralroot out of the camp with the rest of the clan. Rippletide was beyond panicked, concerned about her family in that moment before stopping a bit once she heard a kits cries. She wouldn't leave the young cat there to die so she ran over to see a kit almost get swept away in the very same current while trying to follow after another cat along side them but Rippletide prevented it, grabbing Barkkit by their scruff. She'd run back to help Spiralroot with Barkkit still in her jaw while she carried them. She'd made it out only with a couple of scratches and two small scars on her leg due to the flooding. Thankfully she and her siblings plus their little guest had found a spot safe enough from the flooded area to catch their breath. Many cats recollected as they'd make their ways over to Cloudclan for refuge. Rippletide recalls how Barkkit didn't want to separate from her for a bit, he'd been crying from the shock of the flood and what Rippletide would later find out the loss his parents, they'd been shaking between Rippletide legs while she was taking care of her siblings Whirlypool and Spiralroot. She wasn't quite sure what to do and ended up being a bit of a jerk to them during this. Some more time passed while many of Hailclans cats remained unaccounted for, barely anyone knew where others where, no one could tell who did and didn't make it yet. Only a few names were mentioned to have died during the event, one of those names have being Kitestar who'd lost their life. But she first needed to find the rest of her family before she let things sink in.

While weaving through the crowded clumps of cats Rippletide was able to meet up with her uncle Orchidfrost, she'd ask him if they were alright and if he had seen her father by any chance. Unfortunately he didn't know where Burdockbounce was nor her grandfather Galefrost. Frustrated she vented to her uncle upset about how things turned out, Kitestar saw the signs of a flood and hadn't act and now more cats were dead and he was to blame for holding off to the last second. The same went for Swantuft, both cats in that matter. They should've acted sooner. Her uncle Orchidfrost gave little feedback but perhaps he'd agree with her, she wasn't sure. In fairness he must've still been thinking about Softstem, his former apprentice that had died not long ago. She sighed before dropping it saying her goodbyes to her uncle wishing them luck before exiting the den. He was a medince cat afterall, many were probably wounded and needed treatment, it would be best not to distract him. Though they'd been more focused on their work it felt like they'd hardly notice. 

While staying in Cloudclan Spiralroot had recovered from their whitecough which was a big relief, no more discreat visits to check up on him, thankfully he was better now. As it would turn up, Burdockbounce and Galefrost were also unharmed and alive after the flooding, which she was pleased by but yet she still was on edge. 

Gossip spread like wild fire in the crowded camp, cats began discussing amongst themselves about Hailclans deputy after Swantuft was generously given a piece of prey by a warrior only to find out it had maggots within it, the likelyhood of him getting deadly sick if he'd eaten it was high. But much to his luck Swantuft was smart enough to throw it away. Just like that there was an unease amongst Hailclan and Cloudclan. Had someone purposely tried to poison the deputy? That was the question that lingered in the minds of many. Rippletide grew more on edge. Meanwhile her uncle Orchidfrost had gotten sick, but she'd been too shaken by other matters to pay much mind to this till a day or few afterwards.

But then a new topic arose in the camp, when she had found out what exactly it had been she was devastated. She had wondered about Marshall every once in a blue moon, she intended to visit him but was often to busy or had to push back her plans to. But now it was clear things were too late. Pigeoncall and Fawnpatch had apparently been discussing something when it was realized that Pigeoncall had broken the warrior code due to the fact she was expecting Marshalls kits. When news got to Ripple she was a mess, the tabby didn't take the news well at all, it hurt her. To her it had felt like her heart had been fatally wounded. But now Pigeon was now expecting former crush's kits and it crushed her.  It was all that grey she-cats fault, Rippletide resented her for it. What did she have that she didn't, why did this happen, why did this all end up the way it did? The tabby hid away, crying to herself alone while cursing at the world around her. She'd felt so alone and broken, it hurt her. She hated it.

 But it would seem she wasn't so alone.  Fawnpatch had been hurt by the very same news as her, the same two cats. The two were able to comfort eachother, talking about the pain they'd felt, both of their crushes had gotten together, they had that to relate to. Their chat was actually kind of comforting, something she hadn't felt in while. But then their talk stopped, once again she was left all alone to her thoughts. The same ones that left her so upset, combined with frustrations, just how long could good things last?

Alone in the quiet, both Rippletide and Robinear had recived orders to kill Kitestar by Blizzardfang. Being the neice of Hailclans medince cat allowed her to steal yew berries from her uncle, Orchidfrost without being caught, making her the suplier in all this. Something about this made Rippletide feel so twisted up inside, and unsure. She stole from her unsuspecting uncle, the cat who she had talken to so many times, even having similiar personality some what as she would recall. Though she had to admit, using her uncles position like that, betraying their trust, it did make her feel a bit hesitant. But she'd held those feelings down, they just made her weak. She had to do this, she needed to get this done, she had orders and this was going to be the deciding factor. Rippletide brought the poisionous berries to Robin who proceeded to stuff them into the rabbit. Robinear passes the tainted prey back to Rippletide  who went to deliver the rabbit, but she started having second thoughts about it, and found herself asking Robin to do it instead. Robin at this tells Ripple, “Listen Ripple, I’d do anything for ya but you made the decision to join Blizzardfang. Here, I’ll watch you while you do it to give you company” and after a bit of convincing, Rippletide decides to go through with it. She knew she wanted to impress Robinear, Blizzardfang too, so she made the choice. Though Rippletide began acting different, more shaken and disturbed, her paws only treading down a darker path. She faught herself trying to assure that his death was necessary but she couldn't shake away certain thoughts, but she didn't want to bring this up with Robinear. With that Kitestar was killed from a death-berry laced rabbit about a day or few after while Hailclan was still staying with Cloudclan, it shook Rippletide greatly, though others could not know the extent of it. Blizzardfang was right, Rippltide found herself only growing further and further from everyone. No one new the extent of it. Snawtuft was made the new leader earning them the name Swanstar, but then her friend Robinear was chosen as the deputy. Rippletide was glad for Robinear, the cat she looked up to was now the deputy, things were changing in her life, she didn't quite know where they'd lead to but Rippletide trusted Robinear. She'd go out of her way to make sure to congratulate Robin on her new title! But things still lingered in her mind, she was a bit distraught that night over for the next few days.

Suddenly one of the queens from Hailclan had died due to birth complications, leaving their father to raise four kits. Many cats were talking about it, Rippletide remembered hearing about it at one point while at their stay in Cloudclan. It would be another day or two before Hailclan was finally able to return back home, though Orchidfrost grew sicker. She'd just have to trust he'd be able to get better though, she knew he had a way with herbs. Though they'd only been in Cloudclans terriotry for a moon, Rippletide had missed seeing the trees and being on their own grounds again. Camp was so less crowded then it was before while in refuge, it felt nice to be able to just stretch out without being squashed in a sea of cats. Once again she would be able to have her personal space all back to herself without someone coming into her little bubble. But things seemed to still haunt her even with coming back home, things had happened in Cloudclan, news that loomed over her like a bad dream that she just wanted to sink her claws at. 

The next morning a meeting was called, it was an apprentice cermony for three kits. Elderkit, Barkkit, and Sagekit. Much to her surprise she was placed in charge as Barkpaws mentor, the kit she had saved during the floods. Perhaps the warrior might have a small soft spot for the apprentice due to their ties, but she would still put some pressure on him. 

Once again a cat Rippletide had know died after it was announced that Lavenderfrost stumbled died as a result of stumbling of the edge of a cliff. Though she wasn't friends with them the feline had once checked up on her which was decent of them. A shame though. Rippletide didn't attend with goodbyes, she just watched with cold eyes while some others tended to their body. That icey feeling began creeping up on them as it had done in her apprenticeship, it was fimilar to her. But she was getting use to it. So much was going on, Rippletide couldn't seem to catch her breath. At some point of time Rippletide had managed to nick her ear leaving a small scar on it that same week, though she didn't admit to others how she had gotten the scar. During one of their Dark Forest check-ins Rippletide had gotten into a small squabble with a dead Dark Forest tranee which ended up in the two fighting. The undead warrior had managed to get a small chunk of her ear during it but she had made sure to put on a equal fight, getting a few good hits in before they broke off from eachother. Seemed like she had put on a small show for the others to see, it wasn't her intention but if it made her look stronger then so be it. When Rippletide woke up after the meeting she found her ear to still be stinging, following her through her dreams and into the waking world around her. It was quite the learning lesson, but when her ear was mentioned she just brushed it off as something small, probably from a thorn in her nest or something she must've nicked it on while outside the camp.

Soon enough her uncle Orchidfrost began to get better, their greencough had seemed to revert back to whitecough and things would be fine. Meanwhile news had gotten out about Cloudclans current dilemma, three dogs had managed to get loose on their territory, some had been injured while one was killed, it would seem things were going well for that clan after they'd left. Rippletide couldn't help but wonder how that must've happened. Meanwhile news from Marshclan indicated they'd found their leader who had gone missing, every clan seemed to have something going on, all but Emberclan, but seeing from her own experiences, just how long could that period of peace last?
         Soon enough her questions had been answered rather vaguely, apparently the two spies in Cloudclan had been the ones who had released the dogs in the first place, that being Drakefeather who physically did the deed. As for Marshclan, well Softsnap had died at the claws of Sandstar after failing their mission. It was odd seeing their appearance look so different, but she digressed.

Thankfully Orchidfrost made a full recovery, HailClan would not be loosing its med any time soon. However news traveled quickly about Marshclan having closed off the tunnels upon Sandstars orders. Surely enough, Marshclan had managed to find themselves further into trouble, one way or another. Rippletide had a bad feeling about the future, and the more time went on, it just seemed like her pessimistic nature was correct for being so.

While making her way towards the warriors den she had spotted Pigeoncall visit the den before leaving. Something irked her, she didn’t fight the feeling but rather stood by the entrance waiting for the grey she-cat to return. It wasn’t too long before she had came back with moss in her jaws in order to set up her nest. Rippletide refused to move denying her entrance as she went on to insult her by telling her no one had wanted her in the den. An argument broke on as Rippletide added fuel to the fire bringing up the dying relationships Pigeoncall had found herself loosing. Soon the topic of family and kits let to further verbal fighting. Ripple felt a flood of anger wash over her as she defended her father Burdockbounce, her words truthful under his name and her up bringing. He’d done the best he could raising her, it was her fault she became the way she was, not his. Further words were thrown around before Rippletide ripped up the dirt under her and threw it at Pigeoncall. This lead to Ripple further more putting out her paw  onto Pigeons chest while the tension grew challenging her to move her paw. However Fawnpatch had broken up the fight before any physical violence could come out of the fighting. He had gently moved away her paw off the car in front of her somewhat calming the grey-tabby down as she explained what happened. Pigeoncall was hurt by the notion that her “friend” Fawnpatch would check up on Rippletide instead, Pigeon accused Fawnpatch of lying to her about his feelings and his friendship while Rippletide stood there watching. The Tom declared both of the she-cats were in the wrong before suggesting both he and Ripple could put their nests closer to each other as a solution in order to separate her from Pigeon. Right after proposing this idea he and Pigeoncall had their own argument as their friendship seemed to hit its final straw. Pigeoncall went a separate way while Rippletide found herself joining Fawnpatch on a walk to try and clear the air. A distaste for the previous Queen only brewed, why couldn’t she just grasp the concept of there being  consequences to your actions? Why did she get away with so much? Was it because of her father being biased, it didn’t sit well with her ether way.  

After the scene that had been caused in the middle of the camp rumors began to spread about Pigeon, some had suspected her sharing prey with outsiders. From these suspicions many were lead to believe she was meeting up with a new rogue after recounts of cats claiming to have seen Pigeon with said Rogue. Among these cats Rippletide found herself taking interest in the gossip surrounding the topic. It wasn’t hard to believe after all. She knew exactly what she was doing, rather she along with the aid of of Littlestrike had been responsible for spreading the rumors. Rippletide wanted to that horrible feline's reputation. Besides, Pigeoncall needed the wake up call, and Ripple was determined to be the one who helped drag her down. She crossed the wrong cat.

As if things couldn’t have gotten worse they did. Swanstar had gotten sick and lost a life to the strange illness he had caught sending him unconscious state. So many cats in the clan began to have an uneasy look in their eyes at the news, assuming Swanstar had some outlandish illness while Orchidfrost checked up on him from there on out. Little did her clanmates know, it was all her, despite Orchidfrosts careful monitoring, Rippletide had managed to carefully slip through the cracks poisoning their leader unbeknownst to everyone. Swanstar had it coming though, from their slow call to action during the floods, and lack of responsibility when it came to his poor decisions, on top of his awful daughter. From this Robinear stepped in as the temporary leader while Rippletide sat in the sidelines watching from afar. Seeing Pigeoncall squirm felt empowering at first, it was a cruel karma that Rippletide got to deliver but as time went on she couldn't help but second guess what she was doing. She hated the weird feeling in her gut, it made her feel conflicted and uncertain. But she stayed quite and tried to get through these rough times just like anyone else. It still felt haunting in a way.

Word had it that Marshclan had closed off its borders not long after having closed off the tunnels. Perhaps it was more chaotic over there then it had been in HailClan. Only time would tell, the gathering would hopefully answer everyone’s questions once the time came. Just like that though something popped up as news of the bear began to pop up after being spotted near their den by hope-bridge. Patrols were warned to keep their distance, and for understandable reasons at that.

Not even a moon had passed an more bad news sprouted, Dovefire had been killed at the bathing boulders from what seems to have be clear signs of struggle based on the state her body had been found.  That was the first time Rippletide had killed someone without thinking it through, the death was her first truly bloody one. She had been on the rocks trying to clear her head, she wasn't thinking straight, she never had expected to see Dovefire there. She lashed out in surprise attacking Dovefire in a panic, the she-cat struggled as she fought back, only making the adrenaline in Ripple's body pump more. The two fought with Rippletide coming out on top, only after she had first initially attacked her had she realized what she done. She was mortified, this wasn't the plan, had she gone too far this time? She hated Pigeoncall, Dovefire looked just like her, why did she attack her, would it have gone the same way had it been Pigeoncall? Her anger and panic had blinded her, causing her to lash out. When she looked back down at Dovefire she was met with the bathing rocks being tainted in her blood. With that the grey-tabby fled the scene, leaving the dead Hailclanner there. Rippletide will always remember when her death had been announced, the death didn’t sit well with her, it was daunting. Her favorite spot was now tainted by the plague of death. Rippletide spent the next couple of days stressed while her clan seemed to descend  further down into unease. Many cats suspected that Dovefire's death had been the work of the rogue sighted before. Some cats even approached Pigeoncall asking about him, however she would remain to act ignorant towards the questions that came her way. Things were getting too out of paw, she had taken things too far, her feud with Pigeoncall was going too far, it was beginning to get to Rippletide.

In camp Robinear had called a meeting  that day, rumors had been floating around for a while but it had seem they had finally gotten to the Deputy’s head.  Robinear had decided to exile Pigeoncall based on these rumors that some had taken part in. Rippletide had a distaste for the molly sure, but out cry of the clan had erupted. Rippletide found herself put into a uncomfortable and nerve racking position the entire meeting as Robinear went on bringing up the rumors. Rippletide felt guilt creep up her, she knew her role in this. She was the one who started the rumors with the help of someone else who had a distaste for Pigeoncall. The clan only helped spread them and she did little to stop it. She had lied to their deputy, her friend and the cat she use to look up to, who was using her lies to valid a loose exile, it didn't sit right with the warrior needless to say. Then something happened, cats began to leave the clan as it split apart because of the meeting, and just like that Rippletide watched as things shattered around her. This was all her fault, everything she had done, the crimes she had committed, all this she was responsible for. If only she knew what her petty rumors would've caused, instead regret flooded her as she watched in disbelief. Even her friend Fawnpatch left to take refuge somewhere else, it was a bitter sweet goodbye that hurt worse than frostbite, her apprentice Barkpaw even tried comforting her. She just wanted to cry in that moment, her clan meant so much to her, Fawnpatch meant so much to her, Robinear had changed, and she had something to do with all of it changing. Now everything was broken.

Slowly more and more cats left, she decided to stay in the camp to be with her family consisting of her uncle and father all the while Whirlywind and Spiralroot left Hailclan as well sometime after the start of green-leaf. Even her aunt and grandfather ended up leaving the broken clan to take refuge elsewhere, but of where Rippletide didn't know. 

At some point she was able to meet up with Fawnpatch by the border during night per usual and decided to ask about Pigeoncall. The two would meet in between Hailclan and Emberclan as a way to keep touch after all. But right after she had asked about Pigeoncall it would turn out she was expecting kits again, this time with a Emberclan warrior. She shouldn't have been even surprised at this point, she expected Pigeon to have changed by now, Rippletide even felt sorry for her, only for Pigeoncall to throw it all away and restart the same shenanigans all over again. It was frustrating and utterly annoying to hear about but she simply thanked Fawnpatch for his word. 

Green-leaf was a hot season, every cat knew that, it affected some more then others. Eventually Rippletide had managed to learn of her family's whereabouts for the most part, Galefrost and Wisteriapetal had gone off the Cloudclan apparently. It was kinda comforting knowing they were okay.

 As days went on further into the season she had received news of her grandfathers passing, Galefrost had collapsed and died of heatstroke while in Cloudclan. Rippletide didn't take the news well really, she wounded up isolating herself and lashing out more, it wasn't a good time for her. There wasn't much she could do but there was so much she wish she could've. Maybe if she had just been there she could've helped him, maybe if the clan didn't split apart he'd be alive. It felt like a cruel punishment from Starclan at this point, all they ever did was take away her family and punish her, she didn't know how much more she could handle it. Rage and grief seemed to dance around her as she tried to calm down with the passing days though it was difficult while her aggression grew.

A couple more days passed and Robinear had finally gone into a self-excile of sorts, Hailclans camp was pretty much a ghost town at this point. She didn't have much words for Robinear, not any more really. Not since everything that happened. While the clan didn't have to deal with her, Rippletide still had to, especially when it came time for yet more Dark forest meetings, but even then she didn't exchange many words with this former adult figure in her life. From there Blizzardfang instructed Rippletide to continue doing what she had been, now she was even more alone on this as she began questioning things more and more. Her uncle Orchidfrost had decided to take Swanstar to Cloudclan after that. Sevral cats followed, that including her and her dad, even though the two didn't really talk much. But she was certain her father didn't have much words for her regardless. However due to the move she hadn't been able to inform Fawnpatch about leaving, nights just slipped by and she never showed up, she honestly missed him and seeing his face. She had left behind the only cat who she ever found herself finding comfort in, she had gotten use to the feeling slowly only to have ripped it away from herself. Just like that the icey feeling she knew too well seemed to reappear and grow into something more unstable, emotions seemed to flood her head, she wasn't sure how to go about it anymore but simply just kept to herself.

Things began to finally look up, like the suns rays poking out from behind the clouds as Swanstar finally recovered and woke up from his unconscious state. It took a bit to get him up to speed on everything but after having events repeated over to him he seemed to get some grasp of it.

Many cats in Cloudclan began to suspect the warrior called Thistleflame, it was reasonable after all, every time Hailclan came to the clan one of their members or more seemed to die. Last time it had been Kitestar, now it was Swanstar. Everything seemed to be going back down hill it seemed, the brief window of hope had been closed once more.

Finally the gathering came and the clans had came together at the hope-bridge, all the while Rippletide found herself trying to search through the crowd for Fawnpatch, what she wouldn't give to see his face again. She had been hoping to see them since they had been further separated. Now with the clans all together there was a chance she could run into him hopefully. But then suddenly without warning the sky had changed causing all attention to focus up at the clouds as a feeling of unease swept over her. She heard her apprentice calling out to her in the panic, she came to Barkpaw after tracking down his cries instructing him to stay behind her as the winds begun to pick up around them. Lightning struck the bridge as it burst into flames given the lack of rain and the seasons dry heat as cats began to ran. Rippletide tried to get Barkpaw out of there telling him to run but the two ended up getting caught in the chaos as they didn't get far but far enough to a point of a safe distance. So the she-cat decided to get into a defensive mode to protect Barkpaw, but then from the flames a silhouette appeared, and cat named Blizzardfang stood before the clans. Fear rushed throughout her body as she was caught in the tides of it like that of a rushing river leaving her speechless. Barkpaw seeing this jumped in front of her telling her that he'd protect her. Rippletide was able to get a grasp as she put her arm back in front of Barkpaw as she hissed at the "stranger" despite being worried, the she-cats aggression seemed to catch Blizzardfangs eye as well as another warrior, Sleetpuddle, there. Though nervous she remained hostile warning them to leave a long with others. Would Blizzardfang blow her cover? How in silverpelt was she here? Suddenly one of the leaders tried to tackle her only to phase through the silver cat, Sandstar had no luck in this attack. But then a orange tabby by the name of Wild came running and tackled her knocking the two of them off the bridge and into the water. Some cats fell into the water while others didn't, thankfully Sleetpuddle at some point was able to save Wild from drowning, while someone else helped a random warrior from dangling off the bridge. Rain did eventually start to poor down onto the fires putting them out however Hope-bridge had burned down, and now all the clans knew of Blizzardfang and what she called her spies that hid amongst the clans.

Things just didn't feel the same after that, it just felt off. One night after finally being able to meet up with Fawnpatch things didn't go the way they normally did. Rippletide did something that would live with her for the rest of her time, she broke things off with Fawnpatch there and then despite it hurting her so much to do so. Yet again she found herself pushing away someone close to her, only further isolating herself. She could tell her rejection hurt both ways as Fawnpatch was taken back. But this was the only way she could prevent further heart break. She should've known she would wound up alone. She was alone.

While hiding herself off in the camps warrior den a bunch of cats re-entered Cloudclan with a warrior or two looking like mouse-dung all beaten up, one of them was a sandy tabby named Gusthowl. When she further investigated she learnt about what had happened, two of the spies had been discovered on that patrol, one of which was a warrior named Drakefeather who had outed himself and the cloudclans deputy Grasshopperhill as spies who worked under the cat known as Blizzardfang. During which Drakefeather had used one of the cloud clan warriors as a hostage only to wound up getting himself killed meanwhile the deputy followed shortly after. Rippletide had recalled having her own small interaction with Drakefeather and Thistleflame once outside of their, and now she didn't even want to think of it anymore. She was certain she'd have to see them the next time she fell asleep, so she stayed up a bit longer that night to arrive late. [bookmark note for self] Was nothing ever going to look up in her life? Was she just some victim of a fate, to always fail, to always watch as the world crumbles around, or to just find herself caught up in messes? This wasn't some joke for the stars to watch, this was her life, and every time she turned around something just seemed to get washed away in the storm of it all. 

Suddenly the day came where Rippletide was no longer a mentor, had time really gone that quickly? She had joined the rest of the present cats for Barkpaws and the rest of the apprentices ceremonies, much to her surprise he was named Barkripple. It caught her completely off-guard but it was very sweet, just the thing she needed in order to smile. News even got to the clans about Marshclans borders opening up, maybe things could get better for others soon, it was a small comfort. It had been a while since she felt such a thing but she appreciated these small things.

Then something happened to her previous apprentice, Hazelleaf, their brother, had gone missing. Many suspect he tried to return back to Hailclan after his scent was last traced back to Hailclan territory towards the mountain. He didn't turn up after that.

On a side note Cloudclan happened to get a new deputy named Halfbranch but Rippletide didn't pay much mind to that, it wasn't her clan after all.

Deciding to stay in camp again Rippletide watched Barkripple leave the camp not thinking much of it at the time. She'd just assume it was some small patrol, or perhaps he was going hunting, ether or. But later into that day it was announced her apprentice had fallen into the river being swept away along with others disappearing from separate causes. It shattered her heart, her apprentice having been swept away by the tide with little hope of ever returning. The loss took her by surprise, and she wasn't sure how to handle it, she felt like shattered ice as that familiar icy cold feeling crept up on her again, worse then she thought it would. 

Time went by slowly, news would pop up here and there, but then one of the cats returned after disappearing, she hoped it had been Barkripple but was disheartened to find out it was one of Cloudclans apprentices rather then her own former one.

A few more days went by, the world growing more bleak everyday as something conflicting grew in her heart with the passing days. In spite of the weight of everything Rippletide was able to drift off into unconsciousness. While most cats had dreams when they slept, or none at all, Rippletide was greeted with nightmares and secret meetings as she slept. The She-cat faded into the Darkforest once more as she found herself sleeping and waking up in the unwelcoming scenery of the dim densely wooded forest. The longer she stared up at the trees the more clear it became to her. She needed to get out of there, she couldn't keep doing this anymore- She didn't want to do this anymore. While trying to prepare herself for whatever might come her way, a familiar voice she disdained, flooded her ear. She glared at her taunter, Snakeheart, of course it was him, his name really suited him. Her muscles tensed as she kept a harsh glare before feeling a rush of mixed emotions bubble up in her stomach at Blizzardfang's words as she stared up silently at her. From the corner of her eye she noticed Sleetpuddle had arrived too. Just like that the Emberclan warrior began to speak, though his words were nothing she had been expecting as Sleetpuddle refused to report back to Blizzard and the rest of the spies. Words between Snakeheart and Sleetpuddle began to fly around as Rippletide stood there as jumbled thoughts filled her head with all the remarks about Hailclan which felt like thorns dragging against her fur. She found that she too couldn't report back ether, the words refusing to come out of her throat. She didn't want to. Blizzardfangs words didn't sit with her, not anymore like they once might've but no, things could've turned out different. It wasn't their place to have decided Hailclans fate, Hailclan would've been a clan still. Just like that Rippletide found herself staring down at a crossroad, to follow through and do nothing, or to change and risk it all. In the end of it Rippletide found herself turning heels and switching sides as she alliended with Sleetpuddle who had begun to fight with Snakeheart. Rippletide took a few steps towards Blizzard fang as she announce her which side she was on in a loud hiss, challenging the very cat who she feared. The hailclan warrior climbed up the tree swiftly before throwing Blizzardfang off the branch only for her to reach the same branch level with only a few swift movements. Her heart sank at what Blizzardfang had to say, telling Rippletide she considered her as kin, even revealing her Hailclan origin. She wanted to shudder at the haunting words, they made her feel sick. Rippletide refused to end up like her, denying they were anything like kin. Softsnap jumped into the scene as she encouraged the two to keep fighting against Blizzardfang and Snakeheart, though her words were a bit muffled in the heat of battle. She wasn't quite sure if what she said about it not being too late was all that true with her, but she knew she wouldn't be back, not if she could help it. Drakefeather had only fueled her doubts, ever word he spoke was true, and she hated it, she hated herself for what she done but if she could just take out Blizzardfang and get out of here. She vowed to try and make it up to her clan, claiming she would try and fix her clan and refused to be stopped by them. Even with Softsnap trying to reassure her it was no use, Drakefeather's and Blizzardfang's words were just too much, she was a monster, maybe she could never make it up, maybe it was too late for her but. She was willing to try and do what good she could, and she was willing to die trying. From there things seemed to go down hill, it was very clear Blizzardfang had the advantage in the fight quickly over powering Rippletide as she was dangled from a branch in the jaws of her opponent. Thankfully Sleetpuddle diverted her attention as Blizzard let go of her only for Rippletide to land on Snakeheart as they switched opponents. Though it quickly became clear for Rippletide she was just as out matched against Snakeheart like she had been with Blizzardfang, if not more so. While she had been down the smaller tom had taken the opportunity to land a hit on her and cling on, though after rolling she was able to get him off but  the longer their fight drew out the more exhausted she felt as her body kept gaining new wounds. A loud yowl of pain shook the silent forest as Blizzardfang had taken a fatal blow from Sleetpuddle as she faded away, finally the she-cat had died. Though the battle had ended for those two, she found herself having to refocus in on Snakeheart as their battle was ever going, though Rippletide wasn't sure how much more she could take of it. Finally she was able to kick him off, dragging herself an inch away as she tried to get up after attempting to catch her breath but instead collapsed to the ground. Things grew dark as everything around her started to fade back into consciousness though her heavy wounds followed with her.
               Back in CloudClan Rippletide had been found covered in wounds at her nest as she was brought to the medicine den, suspicion rising as it was hard to not piece together what might have happened.

During the rest of their stay in Cloudclan Rippletide was confined to the Medicine cat den where she was receiving treatment while also being hidden away from the rest of the cramped camp. After some time had passed, she found herself engaging in conversation with her uncle Orchidfrost as she told him the clans were now safe for Blizzardfang was dead, even admitting to him that she had been a spy, crying through her confession. But the medicine cat remained silent for a moment before he started laughing at her statement of seeing untold horrors, reminding her that he was the medicine cat afterall. Then he asked her something,
                   "What are you going to do?"
She answered truthfully, she would tell Hailclan and let them decide what to do with her. She justed wanted to help bring back their clan after everything. She tried to get up after that, only to be told what she would be doing was reckless, that this wasn't about her, that she needed to think and heal first, her uncles words acting as a wake up call to her with his tough love. 

Then came the day where Hailclan was reformed, Salmonflight being the one to have brought the cats together as he was made leader, now known as Salmonstar. It was like a fresh breath of air hearing the news, before long she too was moved from Cloudclan's medicine den to Hailclan's untouched one, but she could see effort was being made to repair the den. Besides, she could tell Cloudclan's leader didn't particularly like her being in the clan after what she had done, though given that was deserved. On top of Salmonstar's  recent leadership, he had also appointed Thicketskip as the deputy.

Leaf-fall had finally arrived, more cats had found their way back to Hailclan as it was slowly rebuilt, the entire time Rippletide stayed hidden away in the medicine cat den. She knew just how soon it would be before she'd have to stand trial for her actions in front of the whole clan after she healed. As the days passed, Rippletide only found herself growing more and more anxious, the though making her feel sick, but she needed to get through it. While her body had recovered, though given her pelt riddled with scars, she hadn't healed in her mind, she couldn't stop thinking about everything, she couldn't even sleep right anymore.

Finally came the day for Rippletide to be put up on a meeting in order to determine her fate after she had healed, though her body bared many scars left over. During the meeting while put on a trial of sorts she came clean to all the crimes she had committed, admiting to the murders of Swanstar, Kitestar, and Dovefire. From this she was attacked by her former friend Fawnpatch, though she had been saved by Bliss who came running in. From there things took a bit of a turn, with the final decision being made that she would be stripped of her warrior rank and be confined to camp and put under careful watch with Hailclan warriors will work in rotating shifts to keep guard.

Conefindment/ 2nd kithood [24 - 30moons]

It was weird being stuck in the den at first, two cats would be in there with her sure, but somehow it still felt lonely. She'd lay around in her den or pace a bit, only catching a glimpse of the clan if a cat were to run by the entrance. She felt like a ghost. But in other news, Orchidfrost had chosen a new cat to train under him as a medicine cat apprentice, a cat named Laurelpaw. She'd be lying if she said she was slightly envious, though it wasn't their rank or title that made her feel that way, rather, it was the chance to be around Orchidfrost. She had always taken after him a bit, but had strayed a much different path, she longed to mend things but knew that wouldn't ever be the case. 

Then the Crystal falls were attacked, something about ghost cats, but she instantly knew from where the ghosts must've came, no starclan cat would've done a thing. Worst of it all, her uncle Orchidfrost was missing, leaving her feeling frantic and more panicked. No, no, no her uncle couldn't be gone, she hadn't fixed things! He was the only one she trusted, the only family member she opened up to, who she hadn't driven away yet, though it was more complicated then that. Thankfully for everyone, Dropletshine found her uncle and was able to help him back to the camp. She was certainly grateful to see him back and okay, though she was a bit still in shock from the event but she managed to calm down. 

 2nd apprenticeship [30 - 36 moons]

six long moons passed, her siblings would sometimes chat with her while on shift, though they never would give her any clan news as per her punishment. It was nice having them around but she still couldn't bring herself to say much though she wished to. Finally she was reassigned to Looneyes and would learn under his guidance. She was finally out of her den more, though she was greeted with many eyes and whispers about her. Sometimes it felt like the whole clan was watching her and it just felt like a lot, though she would need to learn how to get use to it. It was around this time when an avalanche had accured, trapping a patrol of cats that including their nibling who had been on the patrol. Rippletide didn't exactly tell fae this but she was admittidly worried sick about Whirlywind when she had initially herd. Sometimes peering over at the medince den hoping fae would recover with ease. It only added to her already large amount of stress. She couldn't imagine loosing her siblings even more then she had already. 

Then things took a turn as Rippletide befriended a fluffy tom by the name of Hawkpaw. He was quite the odd ball but Rippletide had a soft spot for the apprentice, often calling him kid. Something about him reminded her of Barkripple.

Orchidfrost developed white cough at some point, and when Rippletide had herd she began visiting the medicince cat den a lot more, often running into her uncles apprentice Laurelpaw, though she didn't interact with them. After all she was only there to be with her uncle. But his whitecough soon turned into Greencough, and things weren't looking too good for them. Even though she knew starclan wouldn't hear her pleads after everything she had done, she still prayed for him to be okay, even though she knew his time was likely limited. It was around this time when Laurelpaw was made into Laurelsprout though Rippletide didn't pay much notice, more focused on her uncle and trainning, as well as Hawkpaw as she began talking with him more. 

Right as things seemed to be getting better as his greencough reverted back to just white cough when Orchidfrost's condition suddenly took a turn for the worse shortly after overnight and he was dead by sunrise. This left Rippletide distraught as she heavily mourned the loss of her uncle, feeling like there had still been more things to say and amend but now he was gone. The only cat that remotley knew what it mustve been like. The only cat she had related to the most in her life besides the horrible cats she had made the mistake of following. Even Laurelsprout mourned the loss, it was more noticble too. Though given Rippletide was use to hiding away her pain, grieving her own way rather then openly, though she too cried.

News then got out about Whirlywinds new mate Beavershine. Rippletide couldn't help but notice how happy he made Whirly, and for that she was grateful, though she wished to congratulate them herself but couldn't. It wasn't long after when they both had decided to have kits, which suprirsed her, seeing the family grow it was- it was nice. though she wasn't sure how much apart of it she would be. 

Hawkpaw was made into a warrior at last, now Hawkbelly, even out growing her as he grew to be much taller. She was proud of him to say the least. Even stepping a paw into the warrior den for the first time in many moons in order to visit him and ask how his first night went.

The sweet period of time only lasted briefly though as one day while nearing the end of her apprenticeship when accusations came out, Laurelsprout yelling at her that she had killed Orchidfrost. Though she denied such a thing, she had changed! But still, she was accusaed of murdering her uncle with deathberries. Salmonstar was put on the spot, and Rippletide knew he only ment well so while everyone wasnt looking Rippletide decided she would slip away and figure out who had killed her uncle and framed her. Leaving Hailclan in the process.

Rogue [ 36- Present moons ] >

From there on she would live outside the clan while trying to solve who had killed Orchidfrost and framed her. She would prove herself someday, figure this out and help the clan from afar even though she had been rejected. It was her choice, her decision to become a rogue. With that she went into hiding after slipping away.
