## **Personality**

Many things can be said of Sheepsong, but two things you'll never forget are that she's selfless and well-spoken. Of course, she's also quick-witted, humble, and opinionated, but these are in a way balanced by being hard-headed and stubborn as well. Her selflessness, though, is what she's kind of cherished for. Cats often count on this and her well-spoken wisdom, especially when they need comforting, support, or a wake-up call. Nobody's perfect, of course, and Sheepsong has rotten moods and days too. She is often seen standing her ground when she knows she’s right, even if against a cat of higher authority, thus making her incredibly stubborn. A tad too stubborn, but she still believes that a cat should fight for what they believe is right.Let’s just say, if any cat got into a spoken argument with Sheepsong, she would definitely win.

## **History**

* Sheepkit was born to Softwhisker and Thistlelake, alongside her littermates, Fidgetkit and Newtkit. However, a few moons after their birth, Newtkit lost his life due to development complications. Luckily, Sheepkit was too young to remember the details. All she knew was that her parents were sad, and would often spend her time trying to cheer them up. “It’s not good to be sad. Please don’t let the sadness take you,” Sheepkit would say. This happened until Sheepkit was apprenticed.
* When she became Sheeppaw, the molly often noticed how slightly happier her parents were, but still spent most of her free time being the stubborn bull she was and trying to make them as happy as they could be. That was until Lizardkit was born. Lizardkit was the only kit of the litter, but she was happy that her parents had someone else to care for, now that Sheeppaw and Fidgetpaw were no longer kits in the nursery. Sheeppaw was otherwise like every other apprentice with a tongue as sharp and stinging as the flames of everlasting fire, and the passion to go with it. Of course, during her apprenticeship, her mentor soon taught her that not everything can be solved with words, and to be careful with how much she made her words sting. Though Sheepsong still slips up ever so often, she isn’t nearly as bad as when she was an apprentice.
* Then, she finally became a fully pledged warrior of Riverclan, and Sheepsong had to say goodbye to her father, which took quite a toll. This made her grow closer to her siblings, being the eldest. But, it also made her closer to her mother, and this taught her how to properly grieve the death of some she loved. Death is and will forever be a part of life, after all. When the final litter of her mother’s was born, Sheepsong spoiled them rotten, often pulling strings just so they could explore camp when their mother was asleep. Of course, knowing the dangers of the territory, she never took them out unless in daylight, with Softwhisker’s permission.
* Then, one day, a raging storm brought on rushing floods, resulting in many casualties. Sheepsong was amongst one of the first warriors to take action and help her clanmates to safety. In the end, Riverclan was forced to live at fourtrees for a few moons, and the flood caused the death of Lionshadow, Riverclan's deputy, alongside his expecting mate, Grasswhisker. Due to this, Shellstar needed to appoint a new deputy, and after much consideration, Sheepsong was named Riverclan's new deputy. For a while, the clan got to rebuilding until they could live once again harmoniously inside their home flood-free.
* That was until The Lost Ones got involved. It wasn't full-on right away. No. At first, it was occasional hints to their presence; prey going down, cats going missing, mysterious ambiance befalling the territories, etc. But after a moon of working in the shadows, this rogue group had decided to make their presence known at one of the gatherings. Nyx, the primary leader of the band of rogues, threatened the clans for their territory, claiming he would slaughter them all if they did not retreat and give The Lost Ones their territory. Sheepsong, of course, was naturally furious at such a despicable inquiry. She would have never given up her home if it wasn't the only choice. See, The Lost Ones where a big group, easily outnumbering the clans. Afraid not only for the safety of her clanmates but that of her family, Sheepsong approached Shellstar and Creekblossom. They discussed over their options for what seemed like hours before meeting with the leaders and deputies of the other clans. It was almost unanimously chosen that the clans would do better fleeing and searching for a new, better home. Of course, no one liked the idea, but it was the safest option. One without loss and ruthless bloodshed.
* During the travel and search for new territory, Sheepsong befriended a Shadowclan tom named Darksnow. They spent the entire travel together, and Darksnow even taught Sheepsong to climb trees and stalk the shadows. Soon, the two fell in love. Sheepsong did not know what love was, but she imagined this was what it felt like.
* After two moons of travelling and losing a few clanmates along the way, the four clans made it to their new territories. However, they had failed to acknowledge that parts of these lands had been claimed by two tribes; the Tribe of Roaring Waters and the Tribe of Clear Skies. Luckily, though reluctant, these tribes sympathized with the clans, offering them their proper shares of the territory.
* Then, one day, a raging storm brought on rushing floods, resulting in many casualties. Sheepsong was amongst one of the first warriors to take action and help her clanmates to safety. In the end, Riverclan was forced to live at fourtrees for a few moons, and the flood caused the death of Lionshadow, Riverclan's deputy, alongside his expecting mate, Grasswhisker. Due to this, Shellstar needed to appoint a new deputy, and after much consideration, Sheepsong was named Riverclan's new deputy, which made her quickly end things with Darksnow after she realized that she valued her loyalty to her clan far more then some petty puppy love.
* But Darksnow would not take that as an answer. He became enraged, hellbent on making the new Deputy's life a living hell. At the following gathering, he even tried to sprout rumors that she was expecting his kits, despite the fact that they'd never gotten remotely close like that. Immediately did Shellstar recognize these foul lies, sticking by her deputy's side and convincing the other clans that these rumors where false. When that did not work, Darksnow plotted revenge a different way, trying to make his way to the top by becoming Shadowclan's deputy. Darksnow was hungry for this newfound power, secretly behind a small organization of sociopaths and murderers who where killing and ending lives. Luckily, after a few moons of serving under Palestar, the leader saw through Darksnow's broken facade, and he was exiled, never to be seen again.
* Through this whole dilemma, Sheepsong had managed to find love with Bellyrumble, who would make her laugh even on the darkest of days, and she soongave birth to their first litter; Happykit, Bubblekit, and Dreamingkit. However, one moon into that litter's apprenticeship, Bellyrumble died. Little did they know, the Riverclan deputy had been expecting. Finally , she gave birth to their second litter; Songkit and Rumblekit. However, seeing as Shellstar and her lesbian mate, Hornetstrike, could not bear kits of their own, Sheepsong handed them off to the older couple, having the two as a surrogate litter for them.
* Now, many moons later, Sheepsong stands by Shellstar's side as they continue to survive in their new lands, still facing all sorts of troubles and threats. However, if the clan stands together, Sheepsong is confident Riverclan will survive.

## **Other Relationships**

**Shellstar and Riverclan**

* **Thoughts:** "Shellstar is very much the mentor I never had. I have learned many incredible things by serving beneath her as her deputy, and I hope to one day repay her by leading Riverclan honorably when she is gone. She means much more to me than I believe she fails to realize. Though I often worry for her health, I know she is strong."

**Palestar and Shadowclan:**

* **Thoughts:** "For a brief moment, we served our clans as deputies together. I do not know him well, though I understand his distance. It has not been easy on any clan, Shadowclan especially. I only hope that I can mend Riverclan's relationship with Shadowclan one day, they are a potential ally I wish not to lose."

**Aspenstar and Thunderclan:**

* **Thoughts:** "Aspenstar and I once served as deputies together for a few moons until he was thrusted into leaderhood under impossible circumstances. I sympathize with my friend, and though we have not spoken lately, I wish for him to know Thunderclan will always have an ally with Riverclan. He has been through much in such a short reign."

* **Thoughts:** "TBD."

**Sootstar and Skyclan:**
