Acacialight

***Spoiler warning:** Plot and/or ending details follow.* *"...."*
**Acacialight** is a pretty, silky-furred amber molly with a striking rosetted pattern and pale amber eyes.
**Acacialight** was a planned birth to Layla and an unknown tom alongside her brother, Tarragonkit. Acaciakit was especially favored by the two-legs in the home due to her striking pelt, perfect for the types of shows they competed in with Layla, making her a perfect and potentially expensive competitor. Layla, fearful of this and more so losing both her kits, chose to bring them to the clan to later become members. Layla made an attempt to leave, though she changed her mind and returned. She has served under Valleystar's and Dawnstar's reigns since then. She was on the patrol that initially spotted the badger on their territory, as well as on the patrol that attempted to drive it away. In an effort to save her life, Dawnstar sacrificed her own to give time for the patrol to escape. Acacialight, grief-stricken, hobbled off late enough that the badger had time to follow her to camp, resulting in the infamous badger attack that claimed the lives of several of her clanmates. Acacialight witnessed several deaths first-hand, and she herself was injured when her tail was broken during the assault.

### **Decayingbelladonna**

*"...."*

Acacialight first meets Decayingbelladonna when stealing from the prey-pile. She's taken aback when the molly approaches her, but easily taken in by her sweet compliments, immediately gaining affection towards her due to her inexperience with such topics. Though Acacialight is somewhat rude and rash, for the most part she stays relatively calm and friendly, and she invites the molly rather quickly out to share a meal with her and watch the sunrise. Decayingbelladonna agrees, and the pair head off. Acacialight shows herself to be quite irritating upon making rude remarks, though she has a nice time regardless. She continues to think of this interaction throughout her day, thinking overtly positive of the molly and finding her exceptionally attractive.

She later comforts Acacialight during the badger attack, where Acacialight considers leaving the clan for good out of her guilt and shame.

### **Dawnstar**

*"...."*

Dawnstar gave birth to Acaciakit when she was only 13 moons old herself. She had a very difficult pregnancy and an even more painful birth, where she had to have an emergency surgery to save her kit's lives. Both kits were above average in size, and Acaciakit, named by Layla due to her own pre-planned destiny for her kits, had the perfect pelt pattern in the eyes of their two-legs, seeing her especially as a potentially expensive entity in the competitive shows they used Layla in. Out of fear of her being forced to endure pain such as she did, as well as an already idealized life where she met her kits on the moors of Sunlit Prairies, Layla chose to escape with her two kits and present them to the clan during their annual Springtide Festival.

## Skills/Faults

*Skills*

She's been known to have a very strong jump, though she's not the cat who can jump the highest in the clan, she's very close, only beat by her mother, Dawnstar. She has exceptionally stellar hygiene, and her attention to detail is immaculate. she's a decent enough fighter, though she seems to fight the most passionately when she's furious, as it is then that she disregards her own safety with the goal to destroy. She has very sharp claws that she sharpens often, making being wounded by her relatively easy. She's not a very violent cat, being relatively harmless unless given a reason to attack another. She's a decent stalker, her pelt helping her hide within the shadows of the tall-grass with relative ease. She blends in particularly well in the forest territories due to the dark pallette of the bark, her hazel-russet colored pelt nearly invisible if cats aren't expecting to see her. She sports a relatively deep voice, one capable of intense volume. Her screech can be heard from the edge of the territory if she were to yowl as loud as her lungs can manage from camp. She respects cats who suck up to her, and she only seems to prioritize those who do when making decisions.

*Faults*

She doesn't have the greatest sense of smell, and she tends to become incredibly frustrated when hunting for cats other than herself. Due to her self-centered attitude she doesn't tend to be looked upon fondly by any cat besides her kin, though she doesn't seem to mind. She despises water and refuses to get her pelt dirty for any task, no matter how dire the situation might be. She's very dramatic when it comes to the weather, and grows irritatable if it begins to rain. she's a hypocrite, much like her mother, and she tends to warp the truth when telling cats anything. she's a liar as well, and one that exaggerates greatly to show herself in a better light. she seems to be living in a fabricated reality she's built for herself, thinking she can do no wrong and cats will stay with her no matter what, without considering the implications of such a thing. she tends to grow irritable if cats only talk about them selves, and doesn't seem too compelled in situations where she has to listen to cats speak about anything other than her. she doesn't work often, but when she does she has a horrible attitude and tends to ruin most patrols she's put on unless cats are willing to bend over backwards making her comfortable and happy.

## Personality

She's a relatively selfish, self-centered, and dramatic molly with a tendency towards bullying. Since she's a very pretty molly, she seems to believe she's entitled to plenty of things cats may have to offer, and she tends to grow irritable and unreasonable when she's not given her way, proving just how spoiled she really is. She's incredibly stuck-up, and doesn't seem to understand the consequences of her actions. She's harsh to her mother, and she tends to ridicule her for her behavior after learning she'd nearly been abandoned with the clan by her, despite her life being made much easier by being in the clan. She does not do favors for any cat, yet expects others to drop whatever they may be doing to bend to her order. Despite not being in a position of power, she acts as if she has authority over others, and tends to be somewhat bossy on top of her arrogance. She's not very resourceful, and likely wouldn't do well on her own, but with a clan to feed and defend her she feels safe and at home. She's known to whine consistently, and her complaints don't stop at wet paws or old prey, she also tends to nitpick aspects of some cat's behavior and is increasingly rude when it comes to doing so. She's decently shallow and tends to only see cats based on how useful she sees they may be to her. She's one to drop cats in a heartbeat if she can succeed in getting something from another, and doesn't stick around with any friends she makes as she tends to self-sabotage relationships. She believes herself to be the proper heir to Dawnstar's throne, despite being refused for the heir position by the molly at the beginning of her leadership, so she acts as such when interacting with her clan mates. She loves to talk about herself, and will go on and on when prompted, though she tends to stay somewhat quiet otherwise, unless something is genuinely affecting her. She seems to have a detached personality, as she does not feel empathy for any cats she's met and doesn't seem to connect them to an actual cat with real feelings like herself, rather a vessel for her own gain. She does have a decent sense of humor in the eyes of some cats, however. Her dramatization of events usually leads to her leaving out details that make her look bad, exaggerating what may have happened until it seems like a personal attack on her no matter what may have happened. She expects compensation every time any cat wrongs her. She's very gluttonous, and doesn't seem to know when to stop eating, constantly stuffing her maw with prey she's swindled out of cats. She acts rather proper and believes herself to be of higher quality then many of her clan mates, and she doesn't seem to be self aware in the slightest, taking on a sort of princess persona, rather than that of a kittypet turned clan cat. Some believe her attitude and outlook is caused by the bullying she endured when she first joined the clan, though others believe she was taught this attitude by her mother, since the molly does tend to spoil her kits and put them on a pedestal, believing they can do no wrong. Acacialight fully accepts this and promotes it as her driving force, finding it rather lovely to feel worshipped by the clan for the impressive work she's done for them thus far. She's not mature in the slightest, and tends to act out much more often than even apprentices do, though she's been given many pardons by Dawnstar for her actions, she's grown to resent her harshly after an incident while on a patrol she was leading. She's since been rather quiet and kept to herself, festering in her own hatred and growing more and more unreasonable each day. She's very judgemental of her clan mates, and tends to be quite critical while critiquing others. She enjoys exploring, and seems to be adament about expansion of their territory, despite the land they own being more than enough for three clans, let alone the one that inhabited it.

## Detailed History

*Valleystar's Reign*

Acaciakit is born to Layla alongside her brother, Tarragonkit. Though named by her two-legs with similar numbers to her mother, Acaciakit and Tarragonkit were given clan names due to Layla already deciding that she'd be handing them over to the clan. When of age, Acaciakit and Tarragonkit join Layla when she travels to the Clan of Sunlit Prairies, where they meet the clan under Valleystar's Reign. Layla, fearful of various factors, is a paw-step from abandoning her kits, saying a final goodbye to them and leaving with the Tourists. Acaciakit is furious at this news, and though Layla quickly changes her mind and joins the clan for good, Acaciakit never forgets this interaction and continues to loathe her mother over it.

*Dawnstar's Reign*

## Detailed Appearance

Acacialight is a long, slender, well-muscled molly with a long, thin tail and long legs. Her haunches are somewhat thin, though her hind legs are thickened by muscle, giving her a very strong leap. She has a thick chest, with narrow shoulders due to her still not being fully grown. She is a massive molly however, with a stature similar to her mother, just with thinner legs. She's not as tall as her mother either, with thinner hips and a spine visible through her pelt. She has an angular face, with sharp features and round eyes, her eyelashes are quite long. She has a high brow-line, with a wide bridge and a sharp nose, with a soft muzzle with a small chin. She has the same rustic coloration to her fur as her mother, sharing her amber eyes though they bare a paler coloration. Her spots are rosetted, with crisp black accents, shaded red due to her constant sunbathing. The inside of her spots are paler in coloration, with a red hue to them. Her muzzle and chin are paler in coloration, though not very pigmented. She has long dappled ears, and soft, thick fur that tucks against her cheeks very tight against her high cheek-bones. Her pelt is very tight to her entire body, with little room for it to roll or be gripped by another cat. She has thin shoulders, a long, thin neck, and a small belly with a fuzzy primordial pouch with the softest fur on her entire pelt. Her underbelly is paler in color due to sun bathing, and she has dark accents on the underside of her paws and up to her knees. Her paws are large and pointed, with little fur tufting off her body, more over being sleek, her pelt is very well-kept, and is never dirty. The stripes on her face are swirled, with strikingly white whiskers. Her nose is relatively small and more a triangular shape, darked on the edges and a deep red in coloration. She has white accents on the tip of her muzzle, and surrounding her eyes, giving her a very youthful appearance.

## Kin

Mother: Dawnstar

Father: Unknown

Brother: Tarragonglaze

## Backstory

Acacialight was born to Dawnstar, at the time named Layla, in her two-leg den alongside her twin brother Tarragonglaze. Layla named them Acaciakit and Tarragonkit respectively since she'd already decided on moving the two to the clan as soon as the next festival came around. At about 2 moons old she travelled with the clowder of Tourists to the clan, where Acaciakit and Tarragonkit became acclimated to clan life while their mother struggled to make a decision, whether she'd abandon her kits and return or stay to raise the pair. Acaciakit caught on to this and took it especially hard, never really growing to accept that Dawnstar really cared for her or her brother since she'd been so willing to leave them, despite that not being entirely true. She grew up alongside her den mates, choosing to become a Sentinel once she believed she could be the best of the ranks. She was not a very popular apprentice, and stays an unpopular Sentinel, despite her attitude making cats believe that she's worshipped, many cats don't enjoy listening to her complaining and her general toxic behavior. Once as an apprentice, she lead a dog into camp by accident, leading it to destroy parts of camp and injure her clanmates. She was mostly let off for this however, since no cats were genuinely hurt. When she was promoted to a Sentinel, she was given a task by Dawnstar, seemingly to test her skill and the possibility of gaining the heir rank. She was to lead a patrol into the Dartmouth Grotto, and clear out the heavy debris that was hindering training lessons for apprentices. She took out the patrol, and ordered her clan mates to do the bulk of the work for her, sitting in the few dry spots she could find watching. Lichenfur, a cat on her patrol, was sent into the water by Acacialight to clear out draping moss and branches that collected dangerously close to the stepping stones. Lichenfur became trapped in the thick bog, desperate scrambling to escape. Her clan mates swarmed her, screeching for Acacialight to help, but she refused as the bog was disgusting, and her pelt would smell foul if she swam in to help. Her clan mates were only able to watch while Lichenfur drowned, Acacialight being the only cat that could possibly have stepped in to help due to her height. They retrieved her body, and the patrol returned home. Dawnstar was distraught and horrified after hearing what happened, and she punished Acacialight harshly. Acacialight never forgave her for this, and has since been increasingly rude and unruly.

## Trivia

* She has no scars on her pelt, is not missing any fur, and she keeps her claws very sharp by filing them against rocks while on patrols. She often knows everything and anything that's going on, so cats tend to come to her with questions they may have regarding the well-being of others, though she tends to only share information to those who provide her some sort of trade in return. it's a common question among the clan as to why Acacialight is even one of them since she acts like the perfect rogue rather than a Sentinel, and it is believed that had Valleystar lived to patrol alongside her, she'd have been exiled, though this is only a speculation backed by evidence on Valleystar's general attitude to cats who never seemed to grow up. She often can be seen sitting alone, it seems she could use a friend who is used to dealing with cats similar to herself to break the mold she's forced herself into.
* Acacialight was the smaller of her litter, but she wasn't by any means a runt.
* Acacialight wears a signature white rose originally given to her by Decayingbelladonna, she's kept the same one even after it has wilted and decayed.
* Acacialight loves flowers and everything to do with their pristine, delicate skin and gentle beauty. This is one of the very few things her and her mother, Dawnstar, could bond over.
