Kestrelfern

**Kestrelfern** is a lilac tabby cat with olive green eyes.

**Kestrelfern** was born as **Kestrelkit** to Fallowdust and Mistyspeckle alongside her sibling Smallkit.

## Appearance

Kestrelfern is a gray tabby she-cat with white highlights around her eyes, muzzle, and toes, and has a fairly white chest, though it doesn’t stretch beyond that. She has sleek, plumed fur that increases in fluff at her chest, neck, and tail tip. Apart from that, her fur is generally short. Her tabby markings are most present at her head, a solid cape along her back, and a solid gray tail. She has slight ticked stripes at her shoulders, which don’t travel down her legs. She has olive-green eyes.

## Personality

Kestrelfern, a once highly gleeful and optimistic she-cat, has become a more relaxed warrior. Despite still being quite adventurous in her own ways, Kestrelfern's become a bit more reserved with her wonders and amusements, typically only acting out and having kit-like fun when Smallsparrow, her littermate, is involved. Friendly and often outspoken, she doesn't hesitate when meeting someone new to show a bit of kindness or even tolerance. Of course, she knows the warrior code and is well aware of the dangers of making friends outside the Clan and how having a simple conversation with someone other than a Clanmate looks. Unfortunately, the world doesn't always work out the way one wants it to. Once hopeful for constant peace and friendliness, an attempted murder in her Clan and her own father's exile has made it very obvious that constant peace and tolerance of others is a kit's fantasy. After all, she is a warrior. What's the point of being called a warrior if there is nothing to fight or to defend? No matter. So long as her loved ones remain unharmed, she'd brave any storm that comes her way, even if it means getting absolutely drenched or even drowning.

Stubborn at times, though not naïve, Kestrelfern does her best to stand up for her beliefs, especially when it comes to the defense of her loved ones. No matter the price to be paid, if Smallsparrow had ever needed her to give up everything... StarClan knows she'd do it with little regard for the rest of the Clan or for herself. Smallsparrow is her sister, and truthfully, the only cat Kestrelfern knows would never betray her own kin.

The lilac tabby is a fairly skilled burrower who favors field mouse the most out of all the prey on the pile. She enjoys running through the territory, but adores roaming the land beneath the surface. The coolness she feels being underground, away from the sun and cliff cut winds, makes Kestrelfern feel at ease. When not performing her warrior duties, she enjoys exploring alongside her littermate. She sometimes even relaxes in a sheltered clearing, escaping the constant buzz of the Clan. At night, one can gamble whether or not Kestrelfern is in her nest, sound asleep. Sometimes, the she-cat runs amok, looking for adventure within EmberClan territory. Formerly straying past the border as an apprentice, only to get caught and scolded, the warrior now sticks to the inside of the scent lines. One may blame the constant lectures in her youth, but truthfully the blame falls solely on the fear of exile. She couldn't imagine being forcibly separated from her sister. So why wander too far and accidentally end up that way?
