## Physical Description

Daisycloud is a rather petite she-cat with a slender build, slightly smaller than most cats her age.

She has a thick, fluffy, cream pelt, spotted with occasional yet large patches of white, a white front right paw, and pale amber eyes.

## Personality

### **As a kit:**

Daisykit was playful, teasing, ambitious, courageous, imaginative, self-confident, prideful, independent, fierce, intelligent, mischievous, daring, leader, demanding, bossy, curious, energetic and talkative, however, she can be incredibly arrogant, self-focused and judgmental. Pride is her greatest weakness. She is also extremely ambitious and impatient to become an apprentice and serve her Clan.

### **As an apprentice:**

Daisypaw still had much of her old personality. Her ambition, playful attitude, leadership qualities and talent for getting into trouble remained the same. The apprentice was, however, more sophisticated and understanding. She still remained the daring yet self-focused, arrogant and prideful kit she used to be, but lost much of her judgemental ways. Daisypaw was intelligent and hardworking, eager to learn but still loved playing games with her friends Wolfpaw and Raven(paw), and her sister, Furpaw, whom she was very close to.

### **As a warrior:**

When she became a warrior, Daisycloud still remained playful and mischievous but was happy to settle down and move at a slower pace, to watch the world go by instead of eagerly trying to make it go faster. She became responsible, caring, but still loved to discover and still was a curious individual.

## Life

### **Kithood**

Daisykit was born to Hopepetal and Sunstep (now Sunstar), although he was not her mother's mate. She has three other siblings, a sister named Furdash and two brothers, Stormpaw and Crowspirit.

Although her parents and family were ThunderClan cats, Daisykit and her siblings were born in the beginning of the battle between RiverClan and ThunderClan, and they were all born in RiverClan camp, because their mother had been captured there.

When Daisykit was only a couple of hours old she, her mother and her siblings were rescued by Laurelpaw, the adoptive daughter of Hopepetal and Emberskip, therefore Daisykit's own adoptive half-sister. They were dragged back to ThunderClan, their home.

Daisykit soon became friends with both Laurelpaw and Silverlight, the two she-cats who'd cared for her when she was only a few days old. She secretly began to think of the two as her soul mothers.

When Daisykit was nearly one moon old, she began to speak and dart about ThunderClan camp, despite the fact she wasn't technically old enough to do so yet. Her bubbly and reckless nature wasn't built for staying still.

It was there when she first got her glimpse of how harsh the world outside her safe little bubble really was. She noticed Cherryflash, a ThunderClan she-cat running back to ThunderClan as fast as her legs could carry her, and although the warrior didn't confess of what had scared her back in RiverClan, Daisykit still knew something was wrong.

While wandering through camp, she also met with Flamekit, who had been told by Laurelpaw that his mother, Hopepetal had recently had kits, and he should meet his siblings, namely Daisykit and her littermates. When they met, Flamekit gave a brief, friendly hello, and Daisykit talked endlessly about her mother, Hopepetal, and her father, whom they didn't know, resulting in Flamekit explaining to her that he did actually know his father, who was named Emberskip. But when interrogating Hopepetal, she told her truthfully that her father was another cat. However, Hopepetal and Laurelpaw, the only two cats (apart from Sunstep) who knew her actual father, Sunstep, didn't confess to her, and she kept on going without knowing her full parentage.

When Daisykit was one moon old she was convinced by Laurelpaw that she, in fact, was her mother, and Hopepetal her grandmother. This wasn't true, but Laurelpaw had turned bitter towards Hopepetal and Sunstep ever since Emberskip's death and hated Hopepetal for cheating on her father.

However, even though Daisykit and her siblings were the result of Hopepetal's treachery, Laurelpaw still loved and cared for them, and just wanted a happy fantasy where no sorrows had ever happened. So she lied.

Silverlight later told Daisykit the truth, how Laurelpaw had lied to her, and both were shocked and upset she would do this.

However, Daisykit didn't have time to be angry, because her mother Hopepetal died when she was only two moons old. While retreating into the nursery, she and Furkit, previously warring sisters, comforted each other from the loss of their mother. Daisykit became obsessed with finding her father, and set out on a 'quest' with Stonekit and Furkit to find out who he was.

However, it didn't come to that, because while explaining why she had lied about being her mother, Laurelpaw, her adoptive half-sister, let it slip that her father was Sunstep, the deputy of ThunderClan.

Silverlight and Honeypool both confirmed this, and at three moons old, Daisykit already knew and understood that ThunderClan was heavy on secrets. She was hurt that nobody, not even her own parents, had told her the truth, and took comfort in her new-found friends Wolfkit, Finchpaw, Stonekit, Larkkit and her sister Furkit. The two strangely bonded over the death of their mother.

As a kit, Daisykit had snuck out of camp twice, once to create a 'Clan', more of a game, with her sister Furkit and Wolfkit, and once with Furkit. When she found out her father was Sunstep, Daisykit took it harshly, but grew to love him, understanding that he was the only parent she had left.

Before becoming apprenticed, Daisykit joined into a round of mossball with Wolfpaw and Raven, making a new friend in the process (Raven).

### Apprenticeship

At six moons Daisypaw was apprenticed to Creekfrost. The young apprentice was particularly enthusiastic about it. She greatly admired Creekfrost for her fighting skills and interesting retorts, which she had heard snippets of. She then apologised to Wolfpaw for forcing (ish?) him to sneak out of camp with her and Furpaw.

She and Wolfpaw spent more and more time together. At 9 moons, she began to develop a crush on her best friend. She worried about him not feeling the same way and spilled her feelings to Flamehawk, her half-brother.

When Wolfpaw was made a warrior, he finally declared his feelings for her. Daisypaw was ecstatic. She quickly revealed she felt the same way, and they became unofficial mates (the Warriors equivalent of bf/gf).

She was made a warrior at fourteen moons, later than normal not because of her performance as an apprentice, but because of the ceremony arrangements that took some time.

### Adult Life

At fourteen moons Daisypaw became Daisycloud. She became official mates with Wolfwhisker, and they loved each other more than ever. At nineteen moons old she had her three kits, Emberkit, Lilykit and Crowkit, whom she loved very much but couldn't spend time with because I was on an excused inactivity break for summer.

When the cats of ThunderClan arrived in their new territory, Daisycloud was hesitant. She and Furdash mistrusted the area and missed their old camp. However, the sisters soon realized that it was all for the better, and sometimes change was necessary. In their new territory, Daisycloud bonded with her kits Emberpaw, Crowpaw and Lilypaw. At twenty-seven moons she received her very own apprentice, Clovepaw. She was incredibly excited about this and firmly resolved to put everything into training Clovepaw and making a great warrior.

Daisycloud took the death of Honeypool, the old medicine cat and also her friend, with grief. She was there with her sister Furdash in the medicine cat's last moments alive. They said goodbye together. Daisycloud was grief-stricken and tearful, but she knew that Honeypool was at peace now, so she pulled herself together.

Not very long after that, Wolfwhisker, her mate, became ill with a severe lung infection [excused inactivity, but for a *long* time so nobody knows if he'll be deleted or not]. It pained Daisycloud incredibly to watch him die a little each and every minute. As if that wasn't bad enough, her daughter Emberpaw died of greencough [inactivity]. Daisycloud was devasted. She was stressed about Clovepaw's warrior assesment, and trained with her even harder.

Despite the sadness of her dying mate, Daisycloud secretly hoped that she would be named deputy. She was upset that her own father, Sunstar, had picked Brighttuft as temporary deputy, not her. She strived to accomplish this and trained almost daily with her sister Furdash, and trained her apprentice just as hard.

Pretty soon, her apprentice Clovepaw became Cloveheart. Daisycloud was thrilled, as she had come to be good friends with the she-cat whilst training her. She got a new apprentice, Petalpaw, whom she'd met already. They'd gotten off to a good start, but had a rocky talk just before the apprenticeship. Even so, Daisycloud was determined not to judge her because of that, and to strive to be the best mentor for her and make her into a fine warrior.

Along with her sister, Daisycloud organised a family hunting trip with Furdash, Lilysplash, Crowwatcher and Sunstar. She felt like they hadn't spent much time together since Sunstar became leader, and wanted to relax and have fun together for a day.

Several moons later Wolfwhisker died.

This was the hardest day of her life, when Sunstar announced to the Clan that Wolfwhisker had passes and Brighttuft was the new deputy. Something in her changed; maybe it was the sorrow she'd endured throughout her whole difficult life, the sorrow of losing her mother, her daughter, her half-brother and so much of her dear family. Or maybe it was the fact that she knew she'd never see Wolfwhisker again. Remembering him and their lives together ever since kithood was like somebody had punched her in the gut; it was painful.

Daisycloud broke that day.

*Daisycloud sat by a tree in camp, gazing into nothingness. She could hear her heart beating irregularly, the blood rushing to her head. Her vision was blurry.

She felt herself break into a million pieces*. - Daisycloud's state after Wolfwhisker died.
