**Dancingwhisper** is a gorgeous, thick-furred high-white molly with ragdoll markings and beautiful blue eyes.
**Dancingwhisper** was born to Nerinerose and Glossamermane under Valleystar's leadership. She has served under hers as well as Dawnstar's reigns. When she was growing up, her parents had countless issues and butted heads often, coming to an end when they explained to their daughter that they'd be splitting up, with Nerinerose intending to leave the clan, the pair forced her to pick between them. Though ignoring this originally, her parents refused to take no answer, and instead decided to fight over her. The pair did, and they ended up slaying one another, passing on to Starclan. Since then, Dancingwhisper has grown close to her clanmate Windsear, and has taken part fighting alongside him in the patrol that discovered the badger, and again driving it out of camp after the loss of many of her clanmates.

“Oh… me? Ah, well, I’d say I’m a good hunter, can you blame me? I am a moonrunner after all. Speaking of running, I’m also very fast, or at least, that's what the rabbits say. I’m stealthy and smart, and learning comes easily to me. I’m flirty and social, though I’d say I’m a good listener when the time comes. Now, don't get me wrong, I don't mean to brag. You did ask, darlin.” She spoke with a humorous tone, nudging you with her paw as she finished speaking, her eyes sparkling in amusement.

As she said, Dancingwhisper is a skilled hunter, and showed this skill early on, proving her to be a right-fit as a moonrunner. She also showed enhanced speed, as her long, muscled legs give her power to quietly bound across the earth with ease. With time, she also learned how to keep stealthy, whether it was crouching quietly in the grass, hiding high in a tree, or looming underneath a bush. Overtime, she has learned all of these skills from others, though for a trainee, she had excellent learning capabilities. She considers this another of her strengths. Aside from hunting strengths, she has many that help her socially, including being flirtatious and a good listener.

*Faults*

“I know I spoke of my strengths and advantages before, but I do not wish to portray that I’m perfect. I, like all cats before me, have my faults and weaknesses. I know that I’m easily distracted and cannot make quick, smart decisions on the spot. I’ve learned over time that I’m just not good at these things. Maybe someday I will be- but the list continues. I’m self-deprecating in times where I shouldn’t, and I don't show empathy well in many circumstances, though I apologize for this. If you need someone to talk to about your feelings, I’m the wrong person to ask. I’m not a good scout either. Though I may be stealthy, important information may slip my mind if I have to remember messages or life-changing info.” She spoke with confidence, knowing that even the great cats before her had their faults. There’s no reason to hide them.

Dancingwhisper, while talented in some areas, is not very skilled in others. She is not a good decision maker, especially when the decisions must be fast and accurate. She finds them too stressful, and is known to crumble under the pressure. This adds to the fact she gets distracted, very easily. Hunting is one of the only circumstances where she can be patient and focused the whole time. Other times, the simplest of bugs or twigs can distract her from the task at hand. She is also very self-deprecating towards herself, which oftentimes makes her negative, and occasionally snappy. While people have brought it up before, no one has ever stopped her from this habit. Along with this, she is practically incapable of empathy., though she hopes to improve this throughout her life.

## Personality

Starting at a young age, practically as soon as she was born, Dancingwhisper was seen as shy and reserved, abnormal for a young, healthy kit. She often avoided social interaction, especially so when it included cats who weren’t frequent in the nursery. This meant most adult cats- including the medicine cats, deputy, and the leader, she was uncomfortable with being around. She didn't feel comfortable with anyone but her mother and father, and in the beginning, even they made her feel nervous. It got to a point where even sleeping with her mother worried the little kitten, and she’d whimper in protest to get out of it. This eventually scared the parents enough to bring Dancingkit to the mental medicine cat, who shrugged it off as just a peculiar phase of the particular she’s kithood. Soon, with continual interactions with her parents, she learned not to be worried when around them, and she began acting more like herself in the comfort of her family. This meant she acted more sassy and confident, making corny jokes she heard from older kits and trainees. Eventually, she became less worried, and acted herself in front of anyone, though this stage came with time, as it came during the time she was made a trainee. Slowly, training gave her more a reason to be bold and sassy, though this did lead her to be accidentally arrogant or bossy during her young apprentice years.

As she got older, her handful of traits became a more developed personality. Her arrogance faded, and she drew back into her more shy, previously reserved senses. While some may have believed she was scared or timid, she more often stayed quiet when the time came, for example, times when she needed to observe instead of acting without thinking. Around the time her parents began to argue and become less close, Dancingpaw seemed to not notice, or if she did notice, she didn't care. When it was brought up, she shrugged it off as a stage of adulthood, and would get back to whatever she had previously been doing. She stayed true to herself, and continued to train. As her parents practically began to distance themselves from their daughter, Dancingpaw used success in training or social activities to replace the emotions she should’ve gotten from her parents' support. With her own confidence, she was able to practically replace her parents in a way, forcing herself to get over the fact that they were distant. As she drifted away from her parents and the emotions that hung with them, she became more social and met new cats, making friends in strange places, though she never spoke to Chad, the cat she had wanted to speak with for the longest.

However, her previously non-changing emotion, even in the spite of true sorrow, was laid to rest when she found out her parent’s true intent. At the news of her parents wanting to split up, she broke down into tears, devastated. Though she had previously pushed away her parents behavior, it was only because she didn't understand what was going on. She truly believed it would pass, but now, she knew it wouldn’t. She cried for a couple days, refusing to leave her den for any reason. Even the closest of her friends, if they had cared, couldn’t have made her leave. Soon- the fourth day after hearing the news she returned to normal. The only difference was she seemed more quiet, more reserved, and stubborn. A very similar thing happened when her parents fought. She was frozen in place for most of it, the emotion drained from her face. Afterwards, she seemed a bit gloomy for a day, but moved on like it was nothing.

## Detailed History

## Detailed Appearance

She normally keeps very clean and well groomed, with a weekly care routine that consists of washing both her fur and claws. She takes pride in this hygienic schedule, and has been known to talk about it every once in a while, if anyone ever asks about her strange behavior. Additionally, she will always find a body of water to wash her ears and nose with, to keep them, according to her, “fresh and ready to use in the heat of a hunt!” She also tends to keep rocks with her to sharpen her claws, another one of her strange behaviors that others may occasionally bring up. She usually stays away from any tricky situations, including mud, quicksand, and any other sticky and messy substances. She complains that it ruins her silky white fur, and she would want anything then to go near it

As mentioned before, Dancingwhisper has gorgeous, fluffy fur that seems to drape over her body like a thick blanket. Her fur gives her momentous volume, making her seem even larger and full of muscle than she already is. Her fur seems to resemble twoleg pillow fluff, or more commonly known cotton. Slowly, she’s learned the best ways to keep it looking as beautiful as it is, even in the wilderness that is Sunlit Prairies. Though she loves her long fur, she does despise the heat that comes with it. As such, she loves the breeze and wind that occasionally sweeps through the territory, as it cools her down significantly. She has a fluffy tail, and fur lining her cheekbones that swoop down in a smooth and beautiful fashion. She has wispy ear tufts that poke out from her ears, and though she keeps all of her fur clean and well groomed, her inner ear fur continues to look wispy and random. Her whiskers fluff out in a similar fashion, wispy and pointy.

Her fur color pattern is a little wonky, but it is considered beautiful by many. She has dark patterns of brown that look like eye spots that fade into lighter brown as her fur reaches to her neck. It also sprouts out in between her ears, but it cuts out to white instead of fading. She has patches of brown that swoop down across her spine on both sides, and her tail starts white at the base, then fades to a medium brown at the tip. Her paws also have a tinge of brown at the bottom. She has a pale, cute pink nose and matching paw-pads. She has piercing, bright blue eyes that fades to black at the rims of her eyes. She has dark pupils that contrast her eyes beautifully.

Mother: Nerinerose

Father: Glossamermane

## Backstory

Dancingkit was born to two clan cats: Glossamermane; A beige colored tom with white fur patches and cold blue eyes, and Nerinerose; a beautiful, white molly with brown snowshoe markings and bicolored eyes. She was born with two brothers: Frigidkit and Adderkit, but both died soon after birth. This devastated Nerinerose, but Glossamermane was there to comfort her through it. Dancingkit was blessed with loving parents throughout her kithood, and she always had her kitmates there for her. She took a particular liking to one tom in particular Windkit, who was a few moons older than her. She rarely talked to him, but always wished she had. She thought highly of him, yet kept quiet.

Dancingpaw was apprenticed under Valleystar’s Reign - The Era of Cerdance, and was apprenticed to a Moon-Runner. She was ecstatic at being a trainee, and was very interested in the techniques and skills of a moon-runner. Because of her interest, she was too distracted to realize her parents were becoming distant from each other, and seemed to be fighting and arguing more than usual. Dancingpaw kept this thought in mind, but shrugged it off as just a phase in adulthood. She continued to train, and even seemed to progress better than usual. She was a fast learner, and knew how to stay out of trouble, while still having fun. She’s used her skill to her advantage when training, and learned the best ways to apply them in real time. However, as she learned more and more, she became more attune to how her parents were acting towards each other. This slowly began to worry her, and she started asking for the advice of others around her. When no one seemed to have an idea, and seemed anything but worthy to help, she eventually gave up, deciding that there was likely no use in trying to fix something she couldn't fix. She focused on training for most of her apprenticehood, and tried to become the best trainee she could, despite her family troubles. She was always one to volunteer for patrols or hunting trips. She was a skilled hunter, and even showed some potential in fighting.

Near the end of her apprenticeship, her parents were now practically ignoring each other, and seemed to also ignore Dancingpaw. Tired of the countless fighting and near destruction of her family, she decided to bring it up to her parents, finally sick of feeling clueless. She was able to, for once, get both of her parents in the same area, and she brought up both her feelings and her concerns. Finally, Nerinerose and Glossamermane explained what had been happening. The two were not in love anymore, and wanted anything but staying with each other. They wanted to split up, and Nerinerose wanted to leave the clan. This news devastated Dancingpaw, and she began to cry. Her parents didn’t bother comforting her, and instead brought up the next biggest part of the news. Since Nerinerose wanted to leave the clan, and Glossamermane wanted to stay, Dancingpaw would have to decide who she wanted to stay with. This drove Dancingpaw to a point where she couldn’t bear to continue the conversation, and she ran off, out of camp and towards any place that wasn't there. Though it took a couple days, she eventually moved on, and with it, completely ignored her parents. Her previous devastation and sorrow seemed to disappear completely. Instead, she seemed to practically change back into her previous personality, though she was more quiet and reserved then she previously was.

Finally, her ceremony came. She was made an official moor-runner by Valleystar at the age of 17 moons. She valued the moment greatly, even though her parents seemed to never care about whether or not she even moved on from being just a trainee. She used her own self worth and happiness to fill the hole left by her parents' treachery, and took her name, Dancingwhisper, with pride and joy. It was remarked that she was named this because of her ability to bounce back without as much as a whisper. Moments after her ceremony, she went to her parents, her past emotions now exploding in a moment of pure anger. Her parents, shocked as they were, retaliated, yelling at how useless and disappointed they were in her. Dancingwhisper, unfazed, yowled back. Eventually, they all relaxed, and Nerinerose, with a sigh, asked who she had decided to stay with. Dancingwhisper, with a hiss, replied she hadn’t decided. The parents locked eyes, and Glossamermane brought up the idea of fighting for her. Though Dancingwhisper shouted her disagreement, the two moved towards a more grassy side of the territory and began to fight. Through the chaos, Dancingwhisper was trying to get them to stop. Despite her annoyance with her parents, she was worried they would hurt each other and wanted them to stop.

The battle continued without stopping. Both fighters were trained well, after all, they were sentinels in their time. Their steps were quick and swift, with purpose and strength that was hard to imagine. Neither could land a hit, not because they were bad fighters, but quite the opposite. It was because they were such remarkable defenders. After minutes and minutes that seemed like moons, Nerinerose landed on Glossamermane's back, landing a deep bite in his neck. However, as this was happening, Glossamermane sliced Nerinerose's belly, as harshly as he could. They both collapsed, gasping for breath as they lay, dying. Dancingwhisper, in terror, ran to them, crying out for anyone to help. With her last breath, Nerinerose brought her paw to her daughter's cheek, expressing her love, before passing to StarClan. Glossamermanne, wheezing painfully, touched his nose to his daughter’s forehead without a word, but nodded his head with a grunt.

Dancingwhisper gave news to her clan, who all grieved for the parents, and her alike. However, Dancingwhisper quickly moved on, as if she didn't care. Inside though, she felt as if she was being eaten alive by rotten birds, slowly making their way to her core.
