Ember that Rises from Ashes

"But, I mean, what chance whatsoever does a bunch of rogues in this rag-tag mutt group have on the subject of defeating WillowClan? Sure, you can fight, but you're just an apprentice. And, in case you can't count- I really don't know, sorry- WillowClan is at least five, if not ten times bigger than this stupid group that you formed out of rebellious impulsiveness."
— Ember to Flame in The DarkMasters roleplay, 5/18/2020
Ember that Rises from Ashes (or, "Ember") is a small, soft-furred flame point tabby she-cat.
== Info ==
A mere newborn, the young rogue kit is a member of the DarkMasters. She has one litter-brother, Wolf, and three sisters, Gale, Crow, and Blossom.
== Description ==
=== Physical ===
Curiously enough for such a small kit, Ember that Rises from Ashes doesn't seem to have any kit fluff. Instead, her pale cream pelt is short- and slightly spiky-furred, with signature ginger tabby points marking her as a flame point tabby. Like all point cats, the slender she-kit has blue eyes- but these are a curious gray-silvery-blue, sharp and inquisitive. Ember's ginger ears stick up sharply, like a fox's, and the young rogue inherited her father's thin face, sharply pointed, small muzzle, and long tail. Unfortunately for the cat who wants to be the strongest of everyone, she carries a light, scrawny, absolutely tiny build. Ember has a bony, elegant frame, and slightly large back paws that she has yet to grow into.
=== Personality ===
There's no doubting it: Ember is not a follower. And that's an understatement; she's a complete baddie, and has no credence at all. Albeit her small size, the kit is a fiery ball of stubborn perseverance- and she takes orders from nobody but herself. Sure, she's friendly enough, but she has a dark side, a spitting ball of rage that she tries to hide. Ember generally dislikes the DarkMasters, thinking they are a stupid apprentice group with nothing better to do than plot for a battle that will never happen; Ember knows that WillowClan is at least ten times the size of the DarkMasters. Despite Flame being her leader, Ember plainly dislikes the young she-cat, refusing outright to do anything the deep ginger rogue says. Ember, if she ever does make friends, is fiercely loyal to them, although there are not many who can call her an "ally". The diligent, independent young kit isn't likely to accept help from anyone, and hates owing anyone anything. She hates anyone keeping secrets that involve her from her, but even more strong is her dislike of anyone making decisions for her. Although Ember is quite judgemental at first, if she makes friends with you- that's pretty rare- then she'll defend you to the death, and is a loyal and understanding friend.
== Skills ==
Ember is too young to know her skills to her full extent yet- but she's pretty good at climbing, and her large back paws suggest an extent of skill in leaping.
== Roleplay ==
Long story short, Ember came into this world kicking and she'll go out the same way.
She begins her career in trouble-making by padding out of the nursery after overhearing Flame talking about destroying WillowClan. Emberkit states loudly that the DarkMasters are "a ragtag group of mutts" and that "WillowClan can crush you without even trying in the first place!". Then, she calls Flame the Burns Blood a "young apprentice", and says that she's a murderer. She then turns to Night, her father, and says "no offense to you, of course. To Flamepaw, definitely not no offense.". Leaving the group with that, she struts towards the nursery- but Flame grabs her and threatens her.
Ember yowls "murderer by name, murderer by nature!" and wiggles free, storming off. Night reprimands her and she screeches, "FLAME IS AN IDIOT! FLAMEPAW IS AN IDIOT!". Scorch retaliates by grabbing her and throwing her from camp- but Ember kicks him in the chin, runs from camp, and climbs a tree.
Then, she hears battling cats and races after the sound, but stops, realizing she shouldn't run into battle.
Later, Bass finds her, and Ember asks the brown tabby to teach her hunting and fighting later on.
In the late afternoon, after Tabby, Dawn, and Shadow are finished fighting, Bass goes to fish and Ember trails her quietly. Bass, impressed, offers to train Ember, who accepts immediately.
Gale and Ember, now good friends, find a beetle and attempt to bring down the beetle empire by discovering the "secret beetle hidey-hole". They begin to dig in the DarkMasters' camp, hoping to unearth the alleged beetle society.
The next day, Flame announces they are to attack tonight, and that the kits should choose their mentors. Ember says that "she isn't having any mentor in this stupid apprentice group" and goes off to hunt. 
After the battle with WillowClan- which Flame lead the DarkMasters to shortly after training- Ember, Gale, and Bass decide to leave. They travel to the lands beyond TundraClan, shortly meeting Tawnykit, who has been wandering around looking for her brother, Wolfpaw, for some time. Tawnykit pounced on Gale, playfully. Of course, Ember doesn't take it that way and bowls Tawnykit over, but the two are separated by Onyx, a kittypet, and her companion Sparrow. Onyx informs Bass that the city they are about to enter is ruled by the Icekeepers.

== Family & Relationships ==
=== Family ===
==== Storm That Rages The Sky ====
Storm is Ember's mother, but, really, does that mean Ember has to like her? Sure, they aren't enemies, but Ember is extremely independent and hates owing allegiance to anybody but herself.
==== Night That’s Darker Than Fire ====
Unlike Ember's relationship with her mother, the she-kit and her father get along pretty well; Ember inherited both his stubborn personality and his lean frame. Night teaches Ember much about the world, and Ember listens closely. She never misses a chance to know more about the place beyond the nursery.
==== Littermates/Siblings ====
===== Gale of the Thundering Storm =====
Gale, Ember's sister, is probably the only sibling that Ember really, truly could be friends with. Although a bit full of fantasy, Gale of the Thundering Storm is well-likeable. One of the only things that Ember doesn't like about her is her allegiance to the DarkMasters.
===== Crow That Flies at Night =====
Ember, although not disliking her other sister, is slightly detached and doesn't really love Crow. No, they aren't enemies; Ember neither likes nor dislikes Crow That Flies at Night.
===== Wolf That Runs in Darkness =====
Cool.
===== Blossom Glowing in the Sunset =====
Ember just doesn't like her third sister. She thinks that Blossom is a useless pretty thing with no personality whatsoever.
=== Friends ===
==== Bass That Fights The Current ====
Ember looks up to the Master with a great extent of admiration- they share a rebellious nature and sarcastic demeanor; Bass is basically Ember's role model. In the roleplay, Ember thinks "Now there's a cat I could be friends with!", suggesting that they may or may not be friends in the future. In the roleplay, Ember has asked Bass to teach her.
==== Gale of the Thundering Storm ====
Gale and her sister, Ember, are pretty good friends, but they haven't developed much of a bond yet due to their age.
=== Enemies ===
==== Flame That Burns Blood ====
Ember criticizes and mocks the ginger former-apprentice from the start- so there was really never any chance of them being friends. Despite Flame's hostile, brutal demeanor, Ember isn't intimidated in the slightest- this may or may not be fueled by Bass's example.
==== Others ====
Fueled by her dislike of Flame, Ember that Rises From Ashes dislikes anyone who grovels at the ginger she-cat's feet.
== Quotes ==
=== Verbal ===
"I won't be joining in that revenge-maybe I'll be on WillowClan's side. But I admire you, Bass, I just hope that you won't support these idiots when the time comes." -- Ember to Bass about her feelings regarding the DarkMasters' revenge on WillowClan
"Listen? I beg your pardon, Scorchpaw. You're mistaken. I don't listen to idiots. But it's okay. I understand that you can't help being stupid, that's why I tolerate this apprentice group formed from impulsiveness.” -- Ember to Scorch about the DarkMasters
"But, I mean, what chance whatsoever does a bunch of rogues in this rag-tag mutt group have on the subject of defeating WillowClan? Sure, you can fight, but you're just an apprentice. And, in case you can't count- I really don't know, sorry- WillowClan is at least five, if not ten times bigger than this stupid group that you formed out of rebellious impulsiveness." -- Ember to Flame about The DarkMasters' chance of defeating WillowClan
=== Thoughts ===
The Clan cats must be having their Gathering... one day I will be there with them! -- Ember's thoughts about the Gathering as she looks at the full moon
Flamepaw doesn't even have the sense to stop them. Not only is her ego as big as an overgrown twoleg monster, but her brain is correspondingly small... More injuries and they'll all be dead, what with no medicine cat. Oh well. Not that I care. -- Ember about Flame's group and their lack of a medicine cat

I feel like "like that" by Bea Miller describes Ember well; it captures her stubborn, diligent nature, fiery personality, and unwillingness to ever give up.
== Trivia ==
* Once she joins WillowClan with the rest of the DarkMasters, her warrior name will eventually be Emberthorn, Emberflame, or another (TBD) name.
* She has ThornClan blood through her maternal great-grandfather, Brambleheart.
* She'll have some type of injury much later on.
* She'll be very ashamed of her parents, Storm and Night, once she joins WillowClan. In her eyes, neither of them, and Flame, Twilight, Flareflight, and the others that groveled at Flame's feet can ever be redeemed.
* Ember suffers from reactive attachment disorder since pretty much everyone around her kind of worships and fears Flame That Burns Blood; Ember hates the ginger cat and isn't intimidated in the slightest by her. Therefore, she can't relate to anyone around her, especially her parents. The exception is Bass, who she respects and admires very much.
* I don't know if I'll ship her- she seems like the kind of gal to fly solo- but I just might.
