Roxie

====
== Appearance ==
Roxie is a pretty, fluffy, white furred she-cat with large dapples/areas of orange and brown tabby fur, which cover most of her body. She has blue eyes and a slightly smaller than average build. Her fur is thick and soft, much like her parents. She has a muscular/toned build from training and several scars from occasional skirmishes, though they're mostly covered by her pelt.
== Personality ==
Roxie is a head-strong, competitive she-cat. She is hot-tempered with strangers and enjoys messing with any loner or kittypet who comes too close. She's quite stubborn and will hold a grudge. She carries herself with false confidence and tries hard to make herself feel better than others, especially her kin. Roxie is bit self-critical, hard working, strategic, and intense.
== History ==
Roxie was born as the second oldest in Kacius and Oracle's second litter. She grew up alongside Velico and Ollie, her littermates, and rarely saw her older siblings. Roxie was very attached to Oracle from the start, and looked up to her rather than her father.

Following Oracle's death, Roxie became more bitter towards her own family, especially Velico. Her competitiveness became more intense and she focused on training to become better than her sister. She hated being talked down to by Velico or by any figure because she thought they were trying to take over her mother's role. She grew up going out often to make sure Velico wouldn't "act like a mouse-brain" and got into some brief skirmishes with some Glaring Eyes cats. Unlike her other kin, she didn't harbor much hatred for The Glaring Eyes cats she met because, with her logic, "they didn't all kill Oracle, only Hiddenshadow did". She befriended Omen and Elijah, but made enemies with Carnelian.
Roxie didn't talk to Elijah very much as moons passed and began to slowly hate Carnelian. However, Roxie and Omen quickly became friends, and only got closer as they began to visit each other more often. Roxie did not care that Omen was in the other gang and often felt the happiest and most relieved when she was with him. However, she feared her father's reaction, and Hiddenshadow even threatened her, telling her not to get so close and make him soft. She continued to see Omen often, and both developed feelings for each other. To Roxie's surprise, Kacius approved of Omen, though he did threaten to kill the tom if he did something wrong.
Kacius died soon after, but Roxie did not care as much as her other kin, considering she looked down upon her father. When Hiddenshadow joined the gang under Banksy's leadership, Velico was furious. Roxie was a bit hesitant, but saw it as an opportunity when Hiddenshadow offered to train her. The she-cat promised to make her even stronger than herself. Considering Hiddenshadow as one of the most skillful, feared cats of the Black Valley, she took up this offer, much to her sister's dismay. Velico left with her kits, but Roxie wouldn't find out till later that she had left to join the Eyes. Omen was slightly against the idea at first, causing a quarrel between the two, but it was soon resolved and Omen decided to join the Claws to be with her.
Roxie went on to train every single morning with Hiddenshadow, receiving far harsher training than she ever had when she was apprentice aged. Hiddenshadow taught her techniques from both the Clans and the Eyes. It took a physical toll on Roxie, but she was determined to rise to above Velico, prove her strength, and possibly meet or go above Hiddenshadow's level. The two developed an oddly close relationship. Roxie, desperate to have a mother figure or some semblance of kin in her life once more, began to view her as a mother.
Roxie and Omen admitted their romantic feelings to one another, deciding to become "more than best friends". Later on, Roxie inquired if they were mates, causing an awkward conversation and a proper confession of love from both of them. Not too shortly after, Roxie found out that she was carrying his kits. The two had discussed having kits in the future, but not so early. Both Roxie and Omen freaked out a bit, but were overall happy. However, Roxie was a bit concerned about having to pause her training with Hiddenshadow, but her and her mentor figured out how to do some training that didn't involve movement.
Roxie ran into Velico while out in a walk and found out about her joining the Eyes. Roxie fought with Velico for a while, eventually pinning the she-cat down by her throat. She had to step away due to some sickness, likely caused by the kits, which prompted her telling her sister about her expected litter. Velico told Roxie that the father of her kits was also Omen. Roxie told her to leave quickly, or she'd be killed.
Roxie went back to Hiddenshadow for advice and comfort, and decided to give neither Omen nor Velico the satisfaction of an argument. She figured that if she yelled at Velico, her sister would only use it as another sob story and sad excuse to paint herself as an innocent, self-sacrificial victim. She didn't want to give Velico another reason to whine and throw a pity party for herself, so she decided that she would simply kill the she-cat if she got close to herself or her kits ever. For Omen, she decided to turn cold without giving him a reason why, leaving him to question himself and what he did wrong. This worked for a while till Roxie eventually snapped on the tom, revealing that she knew the kits were his. Despite Omen's pleads, she decided to split from him and told him she'd be raising the kits on her own. The two later got into a quarrel, which ended in Roxie ultimately forgiving Omen and telling him that she wanted him in her future, as well as the kits' futures. The two agreed to forget about their past and start their own future together. Roxie formally disconnected herself from her 'kin' (with the exception of her mother) and claimed that from then on, the only family that would really matter would be Omen and the kits.
