## **History**

### **Backstory**

She was born as a kittypet named Blackie to Melanie and Collis along with her four siblings. Her mother was often very strict and occasionally distant towards her, while her father was indifferent most of the time. She was always curious and loved exploring. Snooky and Ivy often delighted in harassing her, causing Blackie to want to leave the house to go in the woods.

## ***Blackheart's Tale***

### **Chapter 1**

The story begins with Blackie watching the sun rise from her window. She admires how it lights up the sky and continues marveling when her mother Melanie hisses her name. Blackie turns to look down at her mother below her, who appears irritated, shown by her flicking tail-tip. Melanie asks what she's doing up their, to which Blackie replies that she's watching the sun rise. As she responds, Blackie makes sure her voice is quiet enough not to wake her siblings, especially Snooky, who is noted to be very cranky at times. She whispers that Melanie should see the sun rise, as it's beautiful. However, Melanie hisses at her to get down from the windowsill she's sitting on or she'll fall. Blackie does as she's told; as soon as she's on the floor, Melanie hustles her back in the basket where all five kits sleep. She whispers to go back to sleep, adding she has better things to do than watch the sun rise every morning. Melanie finishes that it goes up all the time before retreating to the basket she shares with her mate, which is separate from the kits. Blackie's heart sinks as she watches Melanie go back to sleep, thinking she never gets to do what she wants without being interrupted. She thinks things might be different when she moves into another house, but realizes she and her siblings will have to wait since they're only four months old, though it still feels so long. Blackie rejoins her siblings and goes back to sleep as the new day begins.

*More coming soon.*

### **Chapter 2**

At four months old, Blackie takes her first walk in the forest, where she meets a young she-cat named Mosspaw. When Blackie asks Mosspaw where she's from, the older cat reveals that she's a ShadowClan cat and briefly explains the existence of the warrior Clans. Blackie is fascinated by this and decides she wants to be a warrior when she gets older, to which Mosspaw scoffed that kittypets can't become warriors. When Blackie asks what a kittypet was, Mosspaw tells her that it's what Blackie is, as the collar she's wearing gives her away. Mosspaw then tells her that she shouldn't be here since her Clanmates might think kittypets are trespassing on their territory again. Just as Blackie is about to leave, a larger cat appears, asking Mosspaw who she was talking to.

Mosspaw replies that Blackie was just a kittypet kit who'd wandered into the territory by mistake. The older cat, who introducers herself as Pineshade, tells Mosspaw to send her home at once, as Blackie could get hurt being out here by herself. Blackie stares in awe at Pineshade and asks if she's a real warrior, to which the latter confirms yes. Blackie says it's amazing that cats can actually survive on their own in the wild, adding it was great meeting such a strong, noble cat. Pineshade, complimented by this, tells Mosspaw to go meet up with her mentor and that she'll send Blackie home herself. The young tortoiseshell obeys and bids Blackie farewell, adding to be careful. Blackie lets Pineshade take her home and, under her direction, leads the warrior to her garden. Pineshade warns Blackie not to set foot in ShadowClan territory again due to the Clan's tendency to attack intruders on sight. She also warns the kit not to talk to strangers in the woods again since she could get hurt, and Clan cats cannot harm kits. Blackie thanks Pineshade for the advice and watches as she retreats to the woods, catching a mouse along the way. This inspires Blackie to want to become independent, and she decides that she wants to leave her home and family behind when she is old enough to fend for herself.

## **Personality**

She is neutral, calm, and level-headed for the most part, but also shows a more aggressive side, especially towards kittypets for what her family put her through. She can be very calculating and vicious at times, especially during battles, causing her to be feared by many Clan cats. She is also attentive to her surroundings and very intelligent. In her earlier days, although initially grateful and loyal to ShadowClan for taking her in, Blackheart found herself wanting more than what she got and was willing to kill other cats in order to get it. She was willing to deceive her Clanmates about her relationship with Rippleflame. Being still relatively young, she can also be stubborn, reckless, and a little immature for her age.
