## Appearance

Alleged: Emberdrift is a tall, large, brown tom cat with darker brown and cream markings across his body. He has two scars, a huge tail and amber eyes.

Detailed: Emberdrift is a very tall tom-cat, standing at 13.9 inches tall. He is slim and muscular, but under all his long, fluffy fur, you can't tell. His fur is highly susceptible to tangling and matting because of its length, but Emberdrift is able to keep it fairly under control when he is in good mental condition. Thus, you can tell what his mental state is by the state of his fur. He is a mainly brown cat, though he has light brown, dark brown and cream markings. His back, paws, except his front right one, the fire shaped-marking on his left front leg and the top of his tail, which has lines going down from it to the bottom of his tail, are all dark brown. He also has an intricate dark brown marking above his front left paw, which appears to be two arches and dark brown speckles near his back leading down to his paws. His forehead, chin and ears are light brown. His mane, stomach, the freckles on his face, front right paw and the top half of his left ear are cream. Between the lines leading to the bottom of his tail, he has light brown, dark brown and cream speckles. His tail is very long, being three times the length of his body, so he holds it over his head to avoid tripping over it. His tail is also slightly curled. He has polydactyl toes on all four of his paws and has striking amber eyes, a recessive gene from his father. A scar from Belladonna mars his face, stretching from the base of his right ear to his left cheek, passing over his left eye. He bears another, smaller scar from a rat attack on his

## Personality

Alleged: Introverted(=), speaks freely around cats he knows well(-), shy(=), reserved(=), ambitious(+), empathetic(+), hides his emotions(=), emotional(-), sensitive(-), clingy(-), loyal(+), entertained easily(+), distracted easily(-), stubborn(-), caring(+), comforting(+).

Detailed: Emberdrift is an extremely introverted cat, who only opens up completely to very close friends and family members. As such, he tends to feel free around them, and speaks freely without restraining himself and his thoughts, which could cause him to say things he isn’t supposed to or didn’t want to say, which could cause some hurt feelings. He is shy and tends to stay to himself, though he is very ambitious and sets high goals for himself, planning out his success. They almost never approach anyone out of their own free will unless they absolutely have to do something important or if he know the cat well enough to be comfortable around them. He is also very empathetic and can easily put himself in others' paws and strives to help others overcome their problems whenever he can. He tends to hide his emotions very often, though his body language always shows his emotions. He’s very emotional and sensitive, but he doesn’t want anyone to know that and see him as weak, which is why he attempts to hide his negative emotions. He’s very clingy to the cats he loves, and will try to be with them whenever he can. He’s very loyal to his friends, family and clan, and would sacrifice himself for those things. He is entertained and distracted very easily. He is very stubborn, and when he thinks something is true, he thinks it’s true until he finds substantial enough evidence to prove otherwise. For example, if he thinks that he could beat another cat in a game of wits, then he would continue to believe he could until he was beaten in a game of wits by that cat multiple times, as he may think the first few times were just flukes and he should have actually won. He also deeply cares about the cats in his clan, wanting them to feel comfortable.

## Life

### Kithood

Birth:

Emberkit was the firstborn of his litter, followed by Blackberrykit, his sister, then Fenkit, his brother, and finally, Koikit, his sister. His mother, father and Thrashercloud, the medicine cat, were all present during his birth.

0 moons old:

Emberkit briefly 'met' Dapplekit, who heard him squeaking and helped him out by warming him up by warming her tail around him.

Emberkit was very bored when he 'met' Skunkstripe, who vastly entertained him with a feather by throwing it up in the air and letting it land on him. This ignited his love for feathers when he got older.

Emberkit had wandered out of his nest onto the cold floor near the nursery entrance. Because he was so cold he began to squeak loud, and that was when Wanderpaw, his older sister, came in and saved him from the cold by picking him up and putting him back in his nest. He got a sniff of her scent and made a note to remember faer in the moons to come.

Emberkit was snuggling into his mother's tail when Frostdrift came in, which scared him at first, but eventually it interested him. He went over to her, wanting to know what had come by the nest. He was pushed back towards his mother lightly and he went back to sleep.

1 moon old:

Emberkit woke up, only to be hit by his sister, Koikit. He got upset, and his sister "apologized", and he forgave her. They then began to play blind tag, since Koikit wanted to play a game but Emberkit thought it would be unfair if she had her eyes open, since he had yet to open his eyes yet. It's safe to say Koikit won.

Emberkit was thinking about seeing when his father walked into the den. His parents noticed he was scared and asked what was wrong, so he truthfully replied that he was scared to see. His parents gently reassured him and he opened his eyes for the first time.

2 moons old:

n/a, short hiatus.

3 moons old:

Emberkit had been having trouble sleeping, so he was pretending to sleep by his mother. That was when Badgeroak, his older brother, walked in and decided to try to wake him. He succeeded in getting his attention, but Emberkit squealed loudly in protest and Badgeroak left to let him go back to sleep.

Emberkit was laying in the sunshine when his brother sneezed and scared him, which made him accidentally kick Fenkit. They then play fought, but Fenkit fell in a pile of moss and forgot about their playfight. Then they both began to search for something to do and Fenkit found a moss ball and they began to play with it together for a while before they wore each other out and they both fell asleep.

4 moons:

n/a, roleplaying break.

5 moons old:

Emberkit took his first look outside of the nursery and became very frightened by the sight. He retreated to his nest, hyperventilating, when his older brother, Badgeroak, came in and comforted him. At first Emberkit didn't believe that Badgeroak was his brother, but after some explaining he did.

6 + 7 moons old:

n/a, small hiatus

8 moons old:

Emberkit finally looked outdoors again after his scare when he was five after reasoning ot himself that it probably wasn't as bad as he made it out ot be. He realized it wasn't so bad after all, and his brother Fenkit talked to him while he familiarized himself with his surroundings.

9 moons old:

n/a, roleplayer was very busy that week.

10 moons old:

Emberkit found out his mother died from a badger attack, which he learned from Badgeroak, and, after accepting she was dead, was very quick to accuse Badgeroak of being the reason she died, lashing out at his older brother. Soon after this, he began to blame himself for not being there for her.

11 moons old:

Emberkit mourns his mother and grows afraid of most things.

12 + 13 moons old:

n/a, roleplayer busy.

14 moons old:

Emberkit meets his older sister, Wanderbreeze, again. He recognize her from the time he put him back in his nest as a kit, and they exchange common formalities before leaving each other be.

Emberkit met his nephew, Sheakit, while sitting near the center of camp. However, the younger kit didn't say much and just stared at Emberkit most of the time, so he left after he was assured that Sheakit was okay.

Emberkit also met Sunpaw during this time, though he ran away after being confronted about a daydream he had about running on the moors like a warrior.

15 moons old:

Emberkit wandered along the RiverClan border and accidentally crossed it because he didn't know where it ended. He was caught by Bubblebuzz, who escorted him back to WindClan while asking him questions. He let the RiverClan warrior know that he was a 15 moons old kit, though he made sure to include the fact that he did nothing wrong to get his apprenticeship delayed.

16 moons old:

Emberkit had padded out of the nursery when he saw Cardinalplume sitting alone. He noticed she looked sad and so he sat next to her. They sat in silence for a while before Cardinalplume greeted him and they began talking about who Emberkit wanted his mentor to be. They eventually strayed off to the topic of his deceased mother and his sick father, which made him very emotional.

Emberkit found some marigold, though he didn't know what it was at the time, by Cloud Lake and brought it to Thrashercloud, who was sun bathing at the time. Thrashercloud was delighted at the sight of the herbs and Emberkit told him where he had found them, getting very happy because he felt useful.

17 moons old:

Emberkit walked into camp after an excursion outside of it and spotted Poppykit, who came over to him as he headed towards the nursery. They talked for a while and shared their negative thoughts about being stuck in the nursery, despite them both being older than 6 moons, and they bonded over this.

Emberkit walked into camp when he noticed Fenkit and began to speak to him. They first spoke of what they would do if they were kits forever. Emberkit assured his brother that they would not be kits forever, but if they were, then they were be forever kits together. Afterwards, Fenkit taught Emberkit how to do a hunter's crouch, though Emberkit failed at doing so. Later that night, they both moved their nests outside to protest how they both were still kits and not yet apprentices.

Emberkit had been taking a walk outside of camp near Cloud Lake when he heard a splash. upon closer inspection, he found out his sister, Koikit, had fallen into the lake and drowned, though she had washed back onto the shore of the lake. She took her last breaths in his paws. He blamed himself for her death and became deeply afraid of water.

### Apprenticeship

17 moons old:

Halfway through his seventeenth moon, Emberkit was named Emberpaw apprenticed to Cardinalplume.

Soon after his ceremony, he met up with Poppypaw and showed her the RiverClan border.

18 moons old:

Emberpaw had a short conversation with Thrashercloud about storms in RiverClan.

Emberpaw patrolled near the ThunderClan border with Cardinalplume.

Emberpaw talked with Fenpaw about their mentors and the territory.

Emberpaw went into the nursery to retrieve some old feathers and met Regalkit. He tried to touch him and he told her about his "curse": how every she-cat in the nursery he touched died before they got a chance to leave it.

19 moons old:

Emberpaw met Scamperpaw.

Emberpaw met Redwoodspring, who tried to help find Regalkit, but they couldn't find her.

20 moons old:

Emberpaw talked to his brother about lost before they went on a walk together.

Emberpaw was deep in his thoughts, with 'ghost-cats' plaguing them, when Creambranch came over and helped him snap out of it.

Emberpaw saw that Regalkit had return and learned she would become an apprentice a moon late, to his somber relief, since he thought he was "cursed".

Emberpaw collapsed in territory and Poppypaw found him. He got up soon enough and the two went to a stream surrounded by wildflowers, which made Emberpaw frightened, since there was water.

Emberpaw meets Peachpaw, and is utterly disgusted by how he speaks about Redstar. He learns that he thinks that he is Fenpaw's best friend and decides that he actually hates him.

Emberpaw talks to Regalkit once again. He was lying down on a rock, when she came over and hopped up on the rock as well. Afraid to touch her again, he left, despite f=her angry protests.

Dandelioncrown dies. Emberpaw quietly mourns him.

### Adulthood

21 moons old:

Redstar performed Emberpaw's warrior ceremony, naming him Emberdrift. He was also made a mentor for the first time at that very same ceremony, his new apprentice being Corollapaw.

Emberdrift sat on the moors at night, looking at the stars and speaking to his family. He watched in awe as a few shooting stars streaked across the sky. Poppytwist came over and sat with him, telling him about how she was trying to speak with her family as well.

Emberdrift watched clouds by himself, enjoying it greatly.

22 moons old:

Emberdrift, who was struggling with his allergies, padded out of the warrior's den, sniffling. Fenwhistle comes across him and tries to get him to go to the medicine to get checked out, but he refuses. This lead into an argument about how Fenwhistle was trying to push Emberdrift away and spend more time with Peachpaw.

Creambranch was made the deputy. Emberdrift, proud of his sister-in-law, began to chant his name with the rest of his clan.

23 moons old:

Emberdrift meets Gossamerhoot, Poppytwist's brother.

Emberdrift meets Ghost, a loner. She was next to WindClan's camp, listening in. Emberdrift offended her and decided he hated her for trying to invade on WindClan's land.

Emberdrift and Fenwhistle made up [Yay!] and talked about what was going on in their lives.

Emberdrift hunted fowl with Creambranch.

Emberdrift briefly met Timbermire while on patrol.

24 moons old:

Emberdrift was working on growing his feather collection when Fenwhistle came up to him. He seemed sad, so Emberdrift asked what was wrong, and Fenwhistle told him he was thinking bout their sisters a lot. Emberdrift comforted him, saying that he thought about them too.

Emberdrift stumbled across the smell of a fox near the twoleg place and found a dead tom and four kits in a tree stump with their dead mother. After some coaxing, he took them back to WindClan and adopted them.

Emberdrift talked briefly with Ghost before he walked away.

25 moons old:

Emberdrift talked with Poppytwist and showed her his new kits.

Emberdrift met Cinderpaw, his older sister who had been captured by twolegs for many moons, and was ecstatic to see his older sister was alive.

LONER EVENT

One day, a cat named Swan came into the camp, claiming she was pregnant and needed shelter. Redstar allowed her in, but then Swan called in her 2 rogue accomplices, who kept the clan back as she brutally one of Redstar's lives, leaving him at 3 lives. She then proclaimed herself leader. Thrashercloud voiced his concerns as the medicine cat of the clan, claiming that Redstar would come back to life again. Thrashercloud was then knocked out and thrown in the medicine den by Swan's group, which they then closed off with boulders so he couldn't escape. Redstar then finally came back and attack Swan, but instead Swan took the Redstar's last three lives, killing him for good. Emberdrift then stepped forward and started to challenge Swan, saying she didn't deserve to be leader and such, to which she responded by sending Belladonna to attack him. Belladonna scratched his face all the way from the base of his right ear across his face through his left eye, stopping at his cheek. Emberdrift quickly pulled back, though the damage was already done. That scar would be there for the rest of his life. Swan then trapped all the cats in camp for a few moons.

Emberdrift crawled back to the nursery, trying to hide his bleeding injury from his kits, but unbeknownst to him, Fenwhistle was inside the nursery and noticed the new scar that marred his face.

Emberdrift hid in the nursery with his kits, waiting for Swan and her two accomplices to be kicked out of the camp somehow.

Thrashercloud escapes from the confines of the medicine cat den. Swan is allegedly killed by a hawk. Diamond and Belladone are chased from the camp.

Creambranch takes her rightful place as leader, getting her 9 lives, and naming Fenwhistle as her deputy. Emberdrift is assigned Mallardpaw's mentor.

Emberdrift’s kits are made apprentices at the same ceremony. Emberdrift sees Ghost and feels anger, and tackles her to the ground, telling her to never get near his kits ever again or he would kill him. He is forced off of her and runs to hide in the nursery.

Not too soon after, a hoard of rats invade from the twolegplace, forcing all the clans to gather at the gathering place, setting up one big camp. Being the cat that he is, Emberdrift was one of the last ones out of camp, and he gained and small scar on his back leg because of the encounter. He frantically looks for his kits at the gathering place, but instead finds Fenwhistle. They talk for a while before parting.

The clans stayed there for a while, waiting for the rats to leave for good. When the coast was finally clear, the clans dispersed, going back to their camps.

But while Windclan's cats were heading back to their camp, Emberdrift fell to the back of the pack, remorseful of his actions at the last ceremony, deciding he needed to get his life in order. So he decided to fall back and hide out near the edge of Windclan's territory, residing in a cave behind the waterfall, going by the name Droplet.

Then one day, the waterfall's lake water was oddly colored, and he drank some to see what was wrong with it. Twolegs had poured oil into the water, and he got oil poisoning from it. Feeling sick, Emberdrift stumbled back towards camp, where he collapsed on his side on a hill, unable to move. A small patrol of cats, Ghost, Fenwhistle, Aciasigh and Twilightpaw, found him on the hill. They helped him stand and he apologized for all that he had done, but to no avail. They all were focused on Fenwhistle, saying that he had to make a choice when they got back to camp what to do with him. But Emberdrift slipped out of the grasp of the other cats, telling Fenwhistle to choose right then and there whether to exile him or not. Fenwhistle chooses to exile him temporarily, and in that moment, twolegs walked by and carefully picked Emberdrift up, carrying him back to their den.

Emberdrift was taken to a vet's office, where he stayed for a long time, being nursed back to health by the twolegs. He was given a brown bandana by the same twolegs.

After a moon or two, Fenwhistle went to visit Emberdrift, but not for anything good. Badgeroak was dead.

After another moon or two, Peachtrance and Fenwhistle went to go get Emberdrift from the twolegplace and tey not only found Emberdrift, but four kits which Fenwhistle and Peachtrance adopted as their own. After their rescue, the acid rain started to fall, and they fled, hearing a horn in the distance, they decided to run towards it, following the crowd of kittypets running towards it.

They all climb aboard the Gravelines, a fairly empty ship. Emberdrift stayed there the whole journey, but the others moved ships. Emberdrift became fluent in French during his time on the Gravelines.

There was a Leviathan attack, but Emberdrift was not much help when it came to defeating it.

When the ships landed, Emberdrift was devastated to find out that both Fenwhistle and Poppytwist had died during the Great Voyage. He grieved as clan ambassadors were went out to scout the new territories out. Creamstar and Diamond were Windclan's ambassadors, and they chose the desert of the new island as Windclan's new territory.

The clan was forced to become nocturnal, for if they went out in the desert during the day, it was a certain death.

As soon as the clan settled into their new underground camp, Creamstar announced her new deputy as none other than Emberdrift's enemy, Ghost herself. He was not happy about that. Sonderpaw was made Emberdrift's apprentice.

Creamstar let Diamond into the clan, giving her the name Diamondcrown, which sparked a rebellion among the cats of Windclan, especially those who knew that Diamond was an accomplice of Swan during her takeover of Windclan.

Creamstar was overthrown as leader and escorted out of camp by Thrashercloud, the leader of the rebellion. Creamstar drowned, losing the last of her lives.

Ghost was made leader and got her 9 lives, refusing the leader suffix of star. She named Shoalcry, a strong voice of the rebellion, as her deputy.

Ghost was broken up with by Scampermizzle, and fell into a depressive state. Emberdrift went to her and pleaded with her to be a leader and not throw everything onto Shoalcry, who had absolutely no leadership experience. Emberdrift was given Cherishpaw as an apprentice.

After a while, Emberdrift finds a cat named Meadowarch and helps her to safety.

Emberdrift tries to save Wanderbreeze from the desert heat, but fails.

A few moons later,  Emberdrift tries to help Ghost through her amnesia to no avail.

Emberdrift leaves Windclan for two and a half moons, tracking coyotes and learning everything he could about them, while also killing as many as he could. He returned after he got ambushed by the main pack of coyotes in Windclan's desert, gaining large, deadly wounds on chest and neck, knowing he needed medical attention and had to go home.  He returned home and stumbled into camp, where Ghost, Otterbounce and Soleilviridity helped him to the medicine den. Ghost patched up his wounds the best she could, leaving the rest of the medical care for Entanglepaw and he went into a coma for a moon or two.

Upon waking up, he found out that Bluebonnettwist was dead and realized how fragile love is and goes to ask Ghost what love is. Ghost explains what love is and Emberdrift confesses his love to her, and she says she loves him too. They become mates.

Ghost takes Emberdrift and the rest of her family to the beach to have fun. Things go awry and Ghost gets attacked by a shark, losing a life. Emberdrift and Sicarushug save her, but Emberdrift almost drowned in the process.
