Spirit

Spirit is a chocolate tortoiseshell and white she-cat with blue eyes.
==Description==
===Appearance===
:Born of two powerful cats, Spirit isn't all looks, she's strength. The she-cat has thicker fur of a shorter length, with a primarily white coat. She could almost be considered a chocolate tortoiseshell point, for her patches are primarily around her face, tail, and legs, although she does have a few random patches of warm brown on the ridge of her back and a few on her sides. But now, she has developed more patches as an adult. Overall, she's an attractive cat, a powerful assassin like her mother, one who lures in her victims. Her coat, however, is generally clean and seems to have much less scars than an average DarkClan cat.
:Much like her parents, Spirit is a cat with longer legs and an overall greater height. She's fairly muscular, but her muscles don't seem to be bulky like the muscles of her fellow clanmates, rather, they're very well toned. She's a slender cat who seems to eat less than others, and when she sits, she seems quite delicate and elegant. This, unfortunately, is just an act. She's a powerful cat with thick skin and surprisingly small and soft paws, keeping her steps silent as she stalks her prey. Her eyes are almond shape and blue in color, and when narrowed, seem to be as cruel as cruel can get. When running, her powerful lungs show, but when she smiles, her teeth aren't the greatest sight. They're a bit crooked and seem to be unhealthy, but it's not like a feral cat can go to the dentist. Nonetheless, she's still a beautiful creature, until her sharp claws are in your back. Her tail is long and almost feathery despite her fur's length, but it's far from perfect. It's slightly crooked, for her mother broke it when the feline was young. Safely fastened around her neck is a very sacred piece: the collar of her father, Snaketooth. It's tattered and a dark mahogany in color, a keep sake her mother stole away from the body of the gray leader after his death. And then before she died, Amber presented her daughter with the sacred collar.
===Character===
:Although notorious for her powerful appearance and impressive fighting skills, Spirit is a quick-thinking and crafty character, which easily links to her sarcasm. Her responses are lightning-fast and her mind registers situations quickly. After spending a bit of time with the powerful molly, it becomes clear that she isn't all brawn. She's extremely clever and is excellent at making effective plots, that tend to be cruel and unusual, at least towards those who deserve bitter treatment. Spirit has a great sense of sarcasm, and tends to be very...salty, to say the least. But this tends to make her charming, for she has a way with words, at least when she feels like it. Many toms find her sassiness to be attractive, and adore her fiery spirit.
:Ambition is certainly a trait that Spirit has acquired from her ancestors. She is persistent, and never fails to continue trying, she'd die trying to accomplish whatever she wishes. This makes her a dangerous figure: she'll do anything to get what she wishes. She'll step on paws, use others as steps, or even kill if that's what it takes. It registers in the heads of others that she's quite careless towards others. This is partially true: she'd happily see those whom she hates die under anyone's claws, especially her own. However, she deeply cares for the few cats she likes, which means she'd murder just about anyone to keep them safe from harm. As for anyone else: who cares? Those who earn her respect don't deserve it, especially if they have little to no respect for her. Which means they can die for all she cares.
:For a sneaky and crafty murdering-machine, Spirit is remarkably social. She easily holds conversations, and if she likes the cat, they can be extremely enjoyable conversations. Of course, she may slip in the occasional talk about murder, but hey, killing's her job, she can't help it. Regardless, Spirit is very good at keeping secrets, especially her own, seeing that she kept her real mother hidden for moons and moons, until she felt that it was time to reveal the great news.
:Some foolishly label Spirit as a 'tyrant', but truthfully, Spirit is a terrific leader, especially for a murderer like herself. She's very organized and neat, particularly when arranging murder...or even simple little patrols. Due to her intimidating appearance and manner of speech towards those she dislikes, keeping others in line is a breeze for her, especially with her manipulative ways. Perhaps not the most thoughtful of others, but Spirit can keep order, nonetheless, and can easily get things working right. She doesn't always think of individuals, but she is mindful of an entire group. She will achieve what her people wish for as a whole...so long as it isn't a hoard of idiots.
===Skills===
:The strength and battling skills of Spirit are unmatched. Not only does she have natural power, but great experience from starting her training at a very young age, and then having her training carried on by the top-notch cats. She's built big, a heavy weight cat due to her amount of muscle. This gives her a very big upper hand when battling those who are smaller than her. On top of that, Spirit's weaknesses were strengthened in her training, thanks to Ivy. Originally, she was not the swiftest of cats, but continues to work on her speed to eliminate weaknesses in battle. Now, it is virtually impossible to stop her, for Spirit is one of the greatest fighters in her clan, likely even the best during her youth. She likes to use her height to her advantage, targeting smaller cats so she can crush them. If she does meet her match, Spirit has the perfect plan: inflict pain. Her mother taught her well: if you can't beat them, scare them into believing they're beat. Spirit tends to inflict as much pain as possible on her victims, aiming for things like ears and shredding them, so the cat bleeds and believes they're in terrible danger.
:Despite her strength and great height, Spirit is just like her mother: she's like a deadly assassin. She's silent as she moves, a cat with great balance and patience when it comes to battles. Like her mother, Spirit likes to lure in her victims with her good looks, make them think she's in to them. She'll act as a friend as well, and study her target and analyze their weaknesses, a thing she learned from her mentor. With her great patience, she'll wait as long as she needs to, until she has the perfect moment to strike.
==Life==
===Kithood===
:The kitten's birth isn't described, nor is where she is born. Her mother isn't explained either, rather she is somehow with Amber, close to the molly and purring, irritating the former DarkClan leader. Eventually, the two fall asleep.
:About a moon later, she is seen begging Amber to go on another walk. Amber, irritated with the kit's endless energy, simply snorts in response, but considers taking her. The kit then pleads, but Amber gets angry, saying that only weaklings beg. She decides that she's going to teach the kit how to 'hunt', and Spirit asks if they're going to catch fish. Angered once more, her mother snaps that they aren't, rather they're catching bigger 'prey' (as in cats), and leads her daughter off. The former leader teaches the kit tracking skills and stalking skills on the way before she finds Lola and teaches her daughter how to kill. Before the young feline's eyes, Amber murders the innocent loner, scarring her for life.
:Amber explains that life is all about the survival of the fittest, and that she was formerly the most terrifying cat in the entire world. She went on, claiming that Spirit would take her place in DarkClan, and whether or not she decided to accept it, she must know how to kill in order survive in the cruel world.
:After much more intense training, Spirit eventually is trained to kill a hare, despite being but a young kit. She succeeds, and before long, Amber changes her name to "Name Me", and leaves her at DarkClan's border before she is killed by Shadow and Hiddenshade. Name Me is distraught by her death, but goes through with her plan.
:She enters the camp and bravely speaks with Ivy, the Clan's leader. Although she is but four moons of age, she proves herself a very daring and bold cat, fearlessly speaking with the leader. Because of this, she is immediately made a Trainee, and is apprenticed to Ivy herself. Name Me pretends that her mother was but a weak rogue who was quickly killed, and that her father was a DarkClan cat (which is truthfully is) who abandoned Name Me's mother. Ivy and a few other DarkClan cats help Name Me get a proper name, and before long, they settle for Tesla.
:Ivy teaches her trainee to train hard to remove Tesla of her weaknesses. First, they battle so Ivy can see what the kit is made of, and it turns out she is quite a great fighter, especially for only being four moons of age. During the fight, Tesla discovers a wound over her eye, and realizes her mother gave it to her before dying...it was a mark to claim Tesla as her daughter. Ivy is impressed, but they aim to strengthen Tesla's weaknesses, and because she is built for battle, she is not very fast. Thus, they tour the territory...at a run.
===Adolescence===
:
:Although still young, Tesla is about to be made a spike, after being held back by her mentor for extra training. All the meanwhile, she has kept her secret about being the daughter of Amber. She has proven to be extremely powerful and intimidating, and multiple cats tend to cower in her path as she walks by, including Roran, who tends to be confident and seems decently strong.
:Ivy is holding the ceremony, and demands to know if Tesla would like to keep her name. The chocolate she-cat is unsure of her answer, but eventually says "sure". The pair get into an argument, which ends up in Tesla challenging Ivy for leadership. The leader eventually leaves camp, leaving Tesla in her place as probably the youngest leader in the history of the clans.
:At long last, Tesla finally reveals her secret: she is not Tesla, she is Spirit, the daughter of Amber. After this announcement, an enraged Cliff approaches her, seeking to end Amber's line. Spirit uses her way with words to remind the tom that she herself did nothing to ruin his life, it was her mother, and she isn't her mother. This leaves the tom speechless, and he eventually walks off.
:Spirit sends Roran off to investigate the FlameClan border, and when he returns, he bears the news of spotting a unique pale tabby. A dark plot forms in the mind of Spirit, and she announces to her Clan that they will destroy FlameClan and ScorchClan by making them hate each other, and in the end, DarkClan will take their territory. She chooses to lead a patrol herself, which will kidnap Ashbreeze, and selects Roran to lead the patrol to kidnap Miststorm. She plans to use the ScorchClan warrior's scent to make it seem like ScorchClan kidnapped Ashbreeze.
:After the tour, the trainee gets some rest, irritated at Ivy's idea to mentor four other cats. After she wakes, Ivy takes Tesla out, asking if she can swim. Tesla claims that she learned, and they end up fighting in the water. It is a tough battle, with constantly pinning underwater from both cats.

==Relationships==
===Family===
Amber:
:
::The relationship Spirit had with her mother, whether adopted or biological, was all but motherly and daughterly, more or less, it was a hardcore apprentice-mentor relationship. To a normal mother, the way Amber raised Spirit was abusive, seeing how she often attempted to attack the kit, and even tried to kill her at one point. Spirit, however, understands that Amber's abusive ways were only to strengthen her and prepare her for the rough and tough future. She does recall Amber attempting to kill her, and is aware that it was on purpose. She isn't sure why her mother had tried to do such a thing, and simply blows the memory off, claiming that Amber had decided that she was unworthy, but later changed her mind. Spirit has grown up to respect Amber, especially for teaching her such powerful moves and secrets of DarkClan that most didn't know. If Amber didn't die, Spirit would be sure to thank her. Unlike most, she does not see the former DarkClan leader as a terrifying and powerful monster, rather, she sees her as a true mother.
Soul:
:"I never knew my father, but eventually, I learned about him. I wasn't surprised to hear that he was a leader, but I was surprised to hear that he was the reincarnate of a cat named Snaketooth, and that he actually spawned with all his memories intact. What surprised me even more was that my mother actually loved him. My mother doesn't show love...she only loves power. But by the sound of it, my father was a very powerful cat, strong and a great leader who showed no mercy to those who betrayed him." - Spirit's thoughts on Soul

===Friends===
None she's too scary

===Notable===
Ivy:
:"I'd say she's a good mentor, and she doesn't seem very cruel towards me. I imagined her being just as bitter to me as she is to her Clanmates, but I'm guessing that's just her way of showing her dominance in the Clan. I think my mother would be just as satisfied with her successor, and likely approve of me as her trainee. Then again, why else would she have selected her as her deputy? I find her a worthy opponent in battle, and I'm pleased that she is working on strengthening my weaknesses...Unfortunately, I may have to kill her in the end to take over DarkClan, like my mother before me." - Spirit's thoughts on Ivy
::Spirit holds a high amount of respect for her leader, who also happened to be her mentor. She finds her a worthy opponent in battle, and isn't surprised that her mother selected her as deputy, and in the end, her successor. She appreciates that Ivy works on not only her strengths, but works on strengthening her weaknesses. Spirit appreciates how hard Ivy works with her, and how she didn't act like Spirit was but a kit, and went right to training her rather than shoving her into the nursery. In the end, however, Spirit is aware that she may have to end Ivy's life in order to take over DarkClan just like her mother, and she actually finds this quite unfortunate.

*Her mother originally named her Spirit (after her father), but around her death, she started naming her "Name Me", so that when she dropped her off at her new home, others would name her. She was later named Tesla by a DarkClan cat, but at some point, she will reveal her true name (Spirit), and then keep that name.
*Before giving her daughter to DarkClan, she will give her a scar over her eye, which will be similar to her mother's scar, to show that she is her mother.
*Note to self for chararts: 85512c, e1c299, 85cae7, 140000.
