## Appearance and Personality

#### Appearance

Cedarpoppy has feathered, very dull ghost white fur with rich cinnamon stripes and markings around her eyes. She has wide, folded ears. Her eyes are dark gray with flecks of gold.

#### Personality

Cedarpoppy is an incredibly sweet cat. She loves kits and is valued for her good advice. She is good if you want someone to talk to or just a shoulder to cry on. She is a loyal, supportive cat and is happy to remain out of the limelight. She's like that background character you like more than the actual protagonist.

## Backstory

#### Kithood

Cedarkit was born to Brightflower and Stormshadow. She, along with her siblings Applekit, Bouncekit, and Dapplekit, were raised part-time in MarshClan with their mother and part-time in OrchidClan with their father. When they turned five moons old, the four siblings were asked where they wanted to live permanantly. Cedarkit and her brother Bouncekit chose MarshClan while Applekit chose OrchidClan. Dapplekit, surprisingly, moved to HorizonClan to live with her aunt, Brightflower's sister Jaymask.

Bouncekit, being more adventurous than his sisters, often went exploring in MarshClan's tunnel and usually dragged Cedarkit along with him. He started listening to her protests when the pair got trapped behind a cave-in. Cedarkit managed to get them out through the rabbit warrens, but Bouncekit was never as excited to explore after that.

#### Apprenticeship

Soon after becoming an apprentice, Cedarpaw learned that Applepaw had left the Clans. She was rather anxious about this fact, but she, Bouncepaw, and Dapplepaw were very close. They missed their sister, but they all moved on. Except Cedarpaw. She decided to go looking for her sister, though Bouncepaw and Brightflower begged her not to. She ignored their warnings and set out on her own.

    Soon after leaving, Cedarpaw met a group of travelers and decided to stay with them for awhile. The travelers called her Sister of the Seventh Moon, or Sister for short, after learning of her quest. They told her that they had seen Applepaw and offered one of their own, Ghost with Broken Wings, to guide her to Applepaw. Cedarpaw/Sister agreed and she left the next morning with Ghost. He was a charming cat and Sister quickly got a crush on him, despite him being several moons her senior and already having a mate. They traveled together for two moons until they finally found Applepaw on the seashore, along with another of the travelers, Fire in Darkest Night. Applepaw greeted Sister warmly, but said that she couldn't return to the Clans. She was happy near the sea and she was going to stay here, though Fire was preparing to rejoin the travelers. Sister accepted Applepaw's choice and stayed by the sea for a few days while Fire finished his preparations to leave.

And so Sister, Fire, and Ghost prepared to return to the travelers. Sister was beginning to miss Bouncepaw and Dapplepaw, though she tried to ignore these feelings of guilt and homesickness. She lived with the travelers now and she liked it. She lost her feelings for Ghost, but gained some for Fire. It even seemed like he returned her feelings, a fact she was rather excited about. They rejoined the travelers about one and a half moons after leaving the sea. Sister was nearly eleven moons old now and started thinking about everything she would be missing if she never went back. Applepaw would never get her warrior name and she didn't really feel like missing out on Dapplepaw and Bouncepaw's. She kind of wanted to earn her own. But at the same time, she had a life here. She had a chance to start a family with Fire and live a good life with the travelers. It was a hard choice to make, but she figured she still had several moons to decide.

#### Warrior Life

Sister of the Seventh Moon just chilled for a bit, but she and Fire in Darkest Night got more serious about their relationship and became mates. Because they were young and dumb, their relationship was very rushed. The travelers ended up near Clan territory again and Sister finally made up her mind. She wanted to get her warrior name and tell her siblings about Applepaw. And so, at the age of 15 moons, she left the travelers and returned to MarshClan. She received a warm welcome and was given the name Cedarpoppy. She moved to the nursery basically immediately. She never told anyone except Bounceshade and Dappleflurry about where she'd been for the last eight moons.

Cedarpoppy had her kits and named them Cardinalkit and Firkit. She's just chilled for the last fourteen moons and has some pretty good advice. She's never told anyone, including Cardinalflutter and Firsong, about her globe-trotting apprentice life and Fire.

She looked after the FireMink kits (with help from Basilpool and Firestorm, of course) after Minkstar's death. She's a good mom. She will be your mom. She is everyone's mom. She and Moonmist and also Skyflower, that is.

When she was about thirty-seven moons old, the travelers returned to the Clans. Cedarpoppy was thrilled about this, especially she got to see all her old friends again: Meadow, Dusk, Ghost, and, above all else, Fire.

She was rather unhappy when she found out about Cardinalflutter's leaving the Clan. She was angry with Rillwing, of course, but *she* ran off when she was younger and she knew that Cardinalflutter won't stay away for too long.

When she was forty moons old, she had a second litter of kits. Fire plans to stick around the Clans even when the other travelers leave so he can be with his kits. Look at Fire trying to be a dad. Good job Fire.

#### Trivia

* Cedarpoppy calls literally everyone 'dear'
* She has at least a bit of Scottish Fold blood, evidenced in her folded ears.
* Her looks and name were from a random generator, which is why Warrior is never incredibly specific about what she looked like.
* She is (I think) the only cat in the Clans who has seen the ocean.
* Cedarpoppy is the FireMink kits' mom. She is Basilpool's mom. She is your mom. Cedarpoppy is everyone's mom.
* Can we all talk about the fact that this girl left the Clans for eight moons and barely got questioned about it? I mean, how many cats can get away with that?
