## Description

Sheepdream is a short, plump, fluffy pale cream-silver tabby she-cat with amber eyes.

## Personality

Sheepdream is soft-spoken and gentle, but not at all timid. While she may look shy at first glance, she has a lively spirit. She is friendly, accepting and open-minded, but perhaps too trusting or blindly optimistic. Although she's very conflict-avoidant even to a fault, she's quick to offer emotional support. She has a tendency to be scatterbrained and forgetful, often escaping into her own thoughts. However, she is a very good listener.

## History

Sheepdream is a GladeClan queen who has lived under Halfstar's, Ashstar's, and Thistlestar's leaderships.

Sheepdream was born to unknown parents along with her brother, Swamphaze. She grew up in the midst of widespread uncertainty and chaos among the clans, which she never completely understood at such a young age. Despite GladeClan's hardships brought on by the drought, she felt safe under the protection of her caretakers. However, due to GladeClan's ongoing conflict with the Society, her kithood was cut short as she was made an apprentice at just five moons old, to be mentored by Mistyflower. While Sheeppaw enjoyed the new freedom she experienced as an apprentice, she dreaded eventually having to fight other cats. Having been so sheltered as a kit, she had a hard time getting used to the reality of conflict as she got older.

Sheeppaw didn't have many close friends as an apprentice, but she got along well with her clanmates. She fought alongside her clanmates in the battle to drive the Society from the clans, but didn't totally understand the conflict-- and although GladeClan succeeded, the battle turned out to be scarier than Sheeppaw anticipated, making her dislike conflict even further. Nonetheless, she trained hard and tried to learn as much as she could. Upon becoming a warrior, she earned the name Sheepdream.

Sheepdream very much enjoyed her first few moons of being a warrior as the clan went through a time of relative peace. As her experience grew she became eager to become a mentor, with Quietpaw (later Quietwing) being her first apprentice. It was through this mentorship that she came to know Thistlefang (later Thistlestar), who was Quietpaw's guardian. Despite Sheepdream's previous ignorance of the Society conflict, she tried her best to understand and emotionally support both of them as they dealt with the tragedy of the conflict's aftermath. Thistlefang and Sheepdream became very close friends and would soon begin to develop feelings for each other. After becoming leader, Thistlestar finally asked Sheepdream to be his mate, and she joyfully accepted.

During this time, Sheepdream also became close friends with Lambflower, who confided in her about her past hardships. Meanwhile, Sheepdream became a mentor to Stormpaw, and also encouraged Blazepaw when he was struggling.

Sheepdream very much enjoyed teaching the younger generation, and she had always wanted kittens of her own. A few moons after Sheepdream and Thistlestar became mates, they made the decision to have kits. Soon they would have a litter of three: Shadekit, Tansykit, and Coyotekit.
