Ambershine

Ambershine is a bright young warrior, always joyful and full of life. She can usually be found with her sisters or, if not with them, she'll usually be trying to make another new friend. She is by far the most outgoing of her family and will never turn down an opportunity to meet someone new.

## Appearance & Personality

### Appearance

   Ambershine's bold, loud personality more than makes up for her short stature. She stands at only 7.2 inches tall, which is about two inches less than the average cat. Her fur is a bold gingery-brown color and she can never keep it neat and tidy. Ambershine's pelt goes wherever it wants and who is she to argue with it? That was her mother's thing. She has slightly darker, browner fur on her ear tips, tail, and all four paws. These socks extend higher on her back legs than her front. Her tail tip and toes are all a darker brown. Anywhere there's a darker color, as well as under each eye and scattered on her nose, Ambershine has a few freckles of the same color. A patch of white reaches from her nose to her chin and she also has white on her belly and in a small heart on her chest, a coincidental match to her sister Alpinefeather. Finally, her eyes are round and deep violet in color. She looks very similar to her late mother, Nettlewhisper, but the eyes are the most clear link.

### Personality

*Ambershine is completely fearless. Bold, enthusiastic, and unwilling to back down from a challenge, Ambershine is a bright young cat who is impossible to ignore.*

## Background

### Kithood

Amberkit was born the only kit of her litter to a molly named Nettlewhisper. Nettlewhisper was a new arrival to HorizonClan at the time of Amberkit's birth, as she had been a loner until getting pregnant. When Amberkit's father, a tom named Sandy, found out that Nettle was expecting kits, he'd broken things off with her and made it very clear he wanted nothing to do with her or the kits.

Nettle ended up on HorizonClan land and was taken in by the Clan, who told her they could help provide for her and the kits for as long or as short as she wanted. Nettle took a Clan name, Nettlewhisper, for her quiet nature, and settled in rather quickly. Amberkit was born about half a moon after Nettlewhisper joined HorizonClan.

Amberkit was a very active kitten once she got going. She took a little longer than usual to open her eyes, but that didn't stop her from wriggling around all the time and then trying to walk as soon as her eyes were open. The first moon of her life was spent with Nettlewhisper in a near-constant state of panic. She really couldn't take her eyes off Amberkit for a second or she'd try to get out of the nursery.

Amberkit was also the only kit in the nursery at the time, so it wasn't like she had anyone to play with. Nettlewhisper started leaving her with the elders whenever she needed a break, but that bored Amberkit. She wanted to go *do* things.

* 2 moons - Conchsong???

As luck would have it, two kits almost exactly her age were found in the territory when Amberkit was three moons old. Amberkit was thrilled. Nettlewhisper adopted the pair, gray and white sisters who were named Alpinekit and Lupinekit. Amberkit was very excited to have sisters and before too long, it was like Nettlewhisper had always had three kits. To Amberkit, at least. Nettlewhisper felt differently, but Amberkit didn't know that.

* 3 moons - Hootheart??

Just a moon later, three kits were born to a queen named Marbledawn. Amberkit had limited contact with them initially due to them being so young and also her preference to be out in the camp bothering every warrior she came across, but she thought they were cute. The kits were named Starlingkit, Magpiekit, and Asterkit and, though Amberkit didn't know it at the time, they would end up being some of her best friends. Starlingkit would, at the very least, and she would become friends with Magpiekit and Asterkit too, though not as close. Good enough.

The rest of Amberkit's kithood passed quietly. She and her sisters got into lots of trouble and adventure alike. They also took a liking to HorizonClan's leader, Aspenstar. He was a fairly quiet, closed off cat, but he was nice to them and sometimes told them stories. Amberkit liked him a lot.

### Apprenticeship

Amberpaw was apprenticed to a warrior named Fawnflower at 6 moons old. Fawnflower, at least initially, was an uptight and proper cat and Amberpaw was initially disappointed, but Fawnflower also taught her how to do a flip, so she changed her mind. Fawnflower was decidedly cool.

There started to be troubles on the outer border with some rogues, so Aspenstar told the girls that they couldn't go up to the Whispering Meadow or anywhere else near the border. Amberpaw was mildly disappointed by this, but Aspenstar changed his mind a couple days later and Amberpaw didn't think about it much further.

* 10 moons - Starlingpaw is apprenticed to Owlcrash. Starling and Amber frequently joke about shipping their mentors.

### Warrior Life

* 16 moons - Starling, Magpie, and Aster get their warrior names woo!
* 17 moons - won HC hike with Al, Lu, and Conchsong
* 18 moons - did not attend the Gathering and heard all about it from Al and Lu after the fact. Not excited about potential war
