Cinder

**Cinder** is a short-furred gray she-cat with hazel eyes.

She was born as Cinder to Ice and Owl, along with her brothers Fog and Forest. She was told about her father only once or twice, as he left before she and her brothers were born.

The first moons of her life went smoothly, as Ice was an attentive mother and the three siblings got along well, but they began to drift apart as they grew older. Eventually, the cats went their separate ways, with Fog and Forest heading off together while Cinder stayed behind with Ice for a few more moons before departing herself.

## History

June 4, 2015 8:45 PM

Cinder hunts near the border of one of the Clans, aware of the dangers but letting hunger drive her to do it. She acknowledges how much skinnier she has become, and from there, she manages to catch a mouse and drag it away. However, she is suddenly attacked by another cat, and recognizes the scent to be one of a Clan cat. She yowls at him to stop, as she knows she cannot win in the fight.

When he lets her up, she tells him that it would be better to help other cats who need it rather than take all the prey for themselves. When he argues back that she has much more territory to cover, she realizes that she cannot argue and moves away from their territory, with him giving some casual comments in response while introducing himself as Twilightstorm.

She stops, throwing a few words back, and realizes that she can actually have some fun with it, noting how lonely she has been. When he begins to leave, she calls him back suddenly, asking him to tell her about the Clans. She is fascinated of how Clan cats get their names, and thinks his is unique. He explains that they hunt for each other, and that is why they need to prey. Cinder apologizes, feeling guilty for hunting their prey.

Cinder begins to bid farewell, but mentions that he can visit her den whenever he’d like. He agrees, almost confusing her, but she doesn’t think too hard on it. She leads him back to her den where he makes a comment about it being roomy, and Cinder suddenly realizes she misunderstood what his intentions were from the beginning.

After some thought, she agrees to spend the night with him, and he departs later on with little words shared between them.

## Quotes

**Twilightstorm**: We hunt together, fight together, sleep together... We live together. This is why we take our territory and the prey on it so seriously. The mouse an outsider steals from our territory is the mouse that could have fed a starving kit or elder.

**Cinder**: I'm really sorry I hunted on your territory... I didn't think—my belly told me not to miss the chance. I hadn't realized that the borders were so important, or that your Clan members were so important to you. I'm sorry I called you greedy as well. I shouldn't have, and I'll respect your borders from now on.
