## Physical Description

Night is a dark and shadowy she-cat with a solid black pelt. She is swift, slender, and light on her paws, but is also more muscular than she used to be due to her Dark Forest training. Her eyes are a slightly dark-hued emerald green. Night has several battle scars, including her torn ear, which was damaged in a dog pack attack, and her tail, which was ripped off by Quilldawn with #RevengeTeam. She also has two slash scars on her lower back, which were also from #RevengeTeam, three scars on the back of her neck from the dog pack attack, and a healed gash on her lower stomach with a bite scar on her front left paw from her fight with Duckblaze.

*Dark Forest description description*

Night, a vengeful, tailless, and shadowy she-cat with a solid black pelt and emerald-green eyes. She has several battle scars, including a torn ear and her lack of a tail. Did many questionable things, including murder and attempted murder of several cats. Also trained in the Dark Forest for many moons and was a living warrior for a while before she died.

## Skills and Weaknesses

Night is a fully trained warrior of the Place of No Stars and achieved mastery of the Dark Forest moves after training diligently for many moons under the mentorship of Scarfrost, even advancing to become a full living warrior for a while before she died. In addition to this, she also learned RiverClan moves from her fellow Dark Forest disciple Smokybird, ShadowClan moves from Fursplash, and created a few of her own moves over the course of her life. This unique combination of fighting moves can come in handy, though Night has trained the hardest in her Dark Forest moves and dedicated herself to mastering them for the majority of her life, so she feels more natural with them and uses them more often even though she still practices other techniques. Being naturally light and swift, she is very skilled at dodging blows, darting around, and striking quickly; however, she is less adept at using brute strength and does have a few weaknesses. Overall though, Night is a pretty formidable opponent (even though her roleplayer is a huge pushover—help).

Night has talent when it comes to hunting. She was able to pick it up quickly and was good enough at it to survive on her own after being abandoned by her mother. Part of her ease with hunting can be attributed to the various types of prey she’s able to hunt. She learned how to catch fish from Smokybird (formerly Smokypaw) and Messenger, can catch rabbits with her speed, and lived near the edge of the Silent Forest for most of her life, which held several different types of prey she learned to catch over time (small birds, squirrels, mice, etc.). Her ear injury affected her for a few moons, but she got used to it. Her tail injury also affected her for a few moons, but she eventually got used to it as well, though she doesn’t climb trees as much as she used to.

Night learned how to swim from both Smokybird and Rainwhisper, and she still occasionally practices this skill in the murky Dark Forest water. She used to swim more, but after nearly drowning or dying on multiple occations, she’s come to somewhat accociate water with her unpleasant times in RiverClan and doesn’t swim as much as she used to. However, she’s slowly reminding herself that the Dark Forest isn’t RiverClan and is gradually getting used to the Dark Forest waters.

As for herbs, Night knows a few simple herbs (cobwebs, poppy seeds, and marigold) and can treat basic wounds, but her work is usually pretty sloppy because she never really learned how to apply herbs, only how to prepare them. She also learned a bit about chamomile from Messenger. However, she only knows how to treat basic wounds and is practically useless when it comes to serious wounds or actual sickness/inflammation/etc..

Night tends to be a very bad liar and finds it somewhat hard to keep secrets. However, if she’s desperate enough or feels strongly about something, she can be decent enough at acting.

Night learned how to pick flowers from a loner named Fish, but she doesn’t do it often.

Of course, hunting, herbs, and picking flowers are useless now that she’s in the Dark Forest, so she’s gotten very rusty at these and focuses mainly on fighting.

## Life

### Kithood

Night was born in late green-leaf near the edge of the Silent Forest. Her mother sheltered her in an abandoned fox den and named her Night, both after her dark pelt and the time she was born. This fox den was a sort of underground burrow and rested on the edge of the Silent Forest near the twolegplace. Night would end up calling this den home for nearly the entirety of her life.

However, shortly after her birth, Night’s mother abandoned her and she was left to fend for herself. Although Night didn’t completely understand the situation, she was still sad that her mother disappeared and ventured out of her den to search for her. Fortunately, a nice twoleg found her before the foxes did and fed her for a bit. Night would soon learn to venture to the twolegplace and beg for food if she couldn’t find any, a habit which actually stuck with her. Night doesn’t find this too embarrassing, though some other cats might think otherwise.

Soon Night discovered that she was a natural hunter and began to hunt for herself. She had a bit of trouble in the beginning and still partially relied on twolegs, but she kept practicing, being extremely bored, lonely, and having basically nothing else to do. It was only shortly after she could solely rely on herself to survive that she considered exploring a bit . . . .

### Apprenticeship

Night began to venture out beyond the area around her den, meeting a few loners, some of which she never met again and forgot. She did meet a few who she remembered though, including a nice loner named Messenger, and later a mysterious kit named Fuyu, who she offered shelter. Fuyu declined her offer and they parted ways, never seeing each other again, though Night still remembers her.

Still very bored and lonely, Night started to make up random fighting moves in her free time. The majority of them are pretty bad and ineffective, but at least she had an idea of how to use her claws at this point.

Night decided to stretch out her exploring area a bit and accidentally trespassed on ThunderClan land. She was caught by a cat named Nightlight, who was pretty nice and sent her off with a warning. Before leaving however, Night revealed the bird she had been hiding behind her and admitted that she had hunted a bit before she was caught. To Night’s surprise and delight, Nightlight let her off with it, giving Night a very nice first impression of Clan cats.

Night still wasn’t aware where everyone’s borders were though, and she soon accidentally trespassed on ShadowClan territory too. The cat she ran into, a ShadowClan warrior named Swiftgaze, was a bit less nice than Nightlight. The two she-cats were hostile for a while, but then a puppy showed up and they had to fight it off together. Swiftgaze suggested using Night as bait, and Night hesitated and protested a bit before reluctantly agreeing. Night successfully pulled off her part and they attacked the puppy together. Night, having pretty much zero experience fighting, slashed at the puppy a few times, promptly fell off, and got scratched. She started whimpering and complaining because she had never really been injured before (she had a few run-ins with thorns and stuff, of course, but she never had any battle wounds). Swiftgaze took care of the puppy after she fell, and the puppy was soon called over by its mother anyway. After the puppy went away, Night was still complaining and whimpering, so Swiftgaze had a moment of pity and used her medicine cat knowledge to tend to Night’s wounds. They were on better terms after and Night never forgot her act of kindness.

Night continued to accidentally trespass a few more times until she finally got a hang of where the borders were.

While exploring one night, Night saw a huge group of cats and decided to follow them from a distance. She followed them to the middle of the island and realized that there was what she would later know as a “gathering” going on. Night decided that it would be fun to pass the time by spying on gatherings, and she soon noticed when the gatherings took place and discovered a large, shady bush she could hide in after disguising her scent. After spying on a few gatherings, Night learned a bit about the Clans, their leaders, and even believed in StarClan and the Dark Forest after hearing about them, being the open-minded, gullible, trusting cat she was.

One night, however, Night was listening to Poppyblaze, the WindClan deputy, and Lakestar, the leader of ShadowClan, talking about Fuyu. She was curious to hear the name of the kit she had met before and listened for a bit, learning that Fuyu, formerly Frostpaw, had accidentally killed a kit, been driven out of ShadowClan, and was considering being accepted into WindClan; however, during her eavesdropping, she nearly forgot that she wasn’t supposed to be spying and got caught by A RiverClan warrior named Sunnystep. When questioned, Night lied that she was a ThunderClan apprentice named Blackpaw who was being mentored by Nightlight, blurting out the name of the cat she had briefly met before. Night was a pretty bad liar though, and Sunnystep became suspicious. The RiverClan warrior threw more questions at her and soon discovered the truth: Night was a loner who was spying on the gathering. Fortunately for Night though, Sunnystep was pretty friendly. After being out in the open for a bit, Night also got the opportunity to talk to Poppyblaze a little, finding the WindClan warrior to also be pretty friendly. Encouraged by this—and to Sunnystep’s uncertainty—Night decided to go straight up to Lakestar, the leader of ShadowClan, and Sunstar, the leader of ThunderClan, to ask if she could attend the gatherings regularly, to which Lakestar denied her permission to, understandably wondering why there was a random loner there. Night was kind of upset and quickly fled from the gathering, only realizing after she left that she could’ve told the cats that she had seen Fuyu and that she was all right.

Night befriended a ShadowClan apprentice named Furpaw, who would later become Fursplash.
