## Biography

### Kittenhood and Adolescence

Moth was born to a pair of loners living in an island village, several miles away from the current clans. She grew up in a happy, loving home, and was friendly with two-legs, as well. She was adopted as a ship cat by the fishermen shortly after she turned 6 moons old, and Pacifica began a life on the seas, where she visited dozens of cities and shorelines over the course of a year.
### Adulthood

On one trip, a storm blinded the ship's captain, and the ship was run into the rocks of the jetty by SaltClan. Moth, the sole survivor of the wreck, pulled herself from the remains and was quickly found by a SaltClan patrol, who took her in. The previous oracle proclaimed that she was his fated successor, renamed her as "Pacifica", and quickly began her training.
At two years of age, Pacifica's mentor died, and after only being in the clan for a few moons, she became their oracle. Pacifica became great at her job, and would often spend mornings on the jetty, staring out at the ocean. StarClan sent her messages with ease, and never worried that their words would be misinterpreted.
Three years after her appointment, Pacifica woke up one morning to a severe storm. Worried that this was sent by StarClan, Pacifica went against her leader's orders and headed to the beach. She climbed up on the slippery jetty, and after yelling out at StarClan, a massive wave hit the side of the jetty, taking her into the ocean with it. Pacifica became trapped under the torrent of water. Her body was sucked into a hole under the jetty, and now surrounded by the large, black-colored boulders, and effectively trapped under the water's surface, Pacifica drowned.
### Afterlife

Without a proper clan burial, her spirit remained trapped in SaltClan. The following morning, a patrol of her clanmates, who had spent the previous day looking for her, found her spirit pacing on the sand. Believing everything was fine, despite her soggy-looking fur, they brought her back to camp. Pacifica tried to tell them otherwise, but her vocal chords had been savaged by the sand and salt water she had swallowed, and could not speak.
Most of the clan noticed a change in her over the next few days. Her eyes, once bright amber, had become clouded and blue. Her fur remained wet, and Pacifica stayed away from her clanmates. Although her voice had returned, she refused to talk about the ordeal. It turns out, as her body decayed under the ocean, trapped beneath the jetty, her spirit's appearance was also affected. Her eyes were chaffed by the salty water, becoming cloudy, and as fish began to eat them, her spirit lost its ability to see. Her fur became patchy, and was constantly soaked, even though she had died a week prior.
And so this continued. Pacifica trained successors, but never died. She stays out of reach of her clanmates, they know she's there, she talks to StarClans, but never dies. Her apprentices may ask StarClan about her-why she's been here for so long, how she's been here for so long-but StarClan refuses to answer them, as they are ashamed that their foretold oracle did not meet her fated end.
