Pepperflame

Template:Template for TFCRP Infobox. Use this one"I know the risks but I want to be part of something bigger and do something more than just sleeping all day, wake up, eat, sleep and repeat."

## Physical Description

Pepperflame is a brownish red, thick furred, fluffy she-cat with amber eyes. She has short legs with yellowish paw pads and a long fluffy tail. She is on the heavier side from her life as a kittypet. She also has a scar on her right eye that begins from just above her eyebrow to just bellow her nose, given to her by a fox.

## Personality

While she was a kittypet, Pepper was a carefree, optimistic cat who though very highly of her self and was quite lazy, though after her encounter with Raindash her ego dropped down. After her encounter with Honeymoon she became brave and less lazy. When she became a ShadowClan warrior, Pepperflame learned to be patient from her experience as a mentor. She will always go for the peaceful option, but if none is available then she will fight. She is overly trusting and naive. Pepperflame isn't good at socializing with other cats, managing to make everything awkward.

## Skills and Weaknesses

Pepperflame is a mediocre hunter and fighter. She is a poor runner and comically slow, but once she picks up she can run at a decent pace. She is half-blind thanks to a fox attack. Her massive amounts of fur protects her from the cold and rain/snow, but during heat waves and greenleaf this fur makes her life pain.

## Life

### Kithood

Pepper's life as a kit is mostly unknown, but when she was old enough to eat dry food she was taken from her mother and adopted to a family of Twolegs.

### Backstory

During her life as a kittypet, Pepper gained a hefty amount of weight thanks to her lazy personality, so her Twolegs decided to make her an outdoor-indoor cat.

A few days later she met a former stray cat named Olive. They became friends and Olive taught Pepper about wildcats and how they live. Pepper was fascinated, but unfortunately a few moons later Olive was killed by a dog. Pepper became depressed and decided to stay indoors for a while before she regained her composure.

### Adult Life

When Pepper ventured outside again she met Raindash, after a fight that resulted in Pepper's Twolegs to bash Raindash against a wall, Pepper became depressed once more. But it didn't last too long after Pepper decided to forget about the whole ordeal.

Later she decided to hunt in the forest outside her home. She trespassed onto ThunderClan territory. Sunstreak spotted her and decided to observe. When she failed at hunting and noticed his presence, Sunstreak attacked her, after a heated argument Pepper stormed off.

A few days later Barkfrost confronted Pepper for hunting on RiverClan territory. After chatting for a little while Pepper learned about Medicine cats and StarClan.

Pepper decided to return back to RiverClan territory. This time she was more focused in having fun. She leaped into all nearby bushes until she fell into a thorn bush. Unfortunately Rippleheart was patrolling the territory and found her. He offered to escort her back home but when she declined things got heated. Pepper decided to leave on her own but Rippleheart wanted to go with her to make sure she left. They ventured through ThunderClan territory and Ravenpaw spotted them but they soon spotted him. He tagged along. A few moments later They reached the Thunderpath where Pepper left back to her home.

Later that day Pepper noticed Galaxy hunting, and decided to watch her. After Galaxy caught a vole Pepper decided to ask her for tips on how to hunt. In the end Galaxy agreed to take Pepper on a small hunting mission. After Pepper spotted a finch and Galaxy's instructions on top of that, she managed to catch her first piece of prey.

After running away in the middle of the night to avoid going to the vets, she roamed the streets. When sun-high came she came across Honeymoon who was on a quest to find a cure for her Clans sickness. The two went to the nearby park to avoid the rain and chatted. After Pepper agreed to help they ventured out to the vets.

On their way a speeding car splashed the rain water onto them, drenching the two cats in freezing cold water. When they arrived at the vets Pepper spotted an open window but the leaf-fall wind shut it. Luckily Honeymoon spotted a second entrance, the sewers.

Pepper slid down the railings of the ladder into the sewer and Honeymoon followed soon after. A few moments after they went inside the sewers they got ambushed by a horde of rats. While Honeymoon climbed through the pipes, Pepper ran around in circles around the rats. Once she got close enough to the ladder she climbed out of the rat infested sewer and walked around in the moonlit parking way.

Once Honeymoon opened a window from the insides of the vets for her, the two cats explored the vets. They searched for a key to get inside the medicine room where they could possibly find a cure. Inside they put some pills and shots inside a pail Honeymoon found. The two proceeded to leave. On their way back Pepper asked if she could join ShadowClan. Pepper with the help of Honeymoon proceeded to tear off Peppers red collar. They moved forwards to NCL (No Clans land).

Honeymoon and Pepper reach a river and proceed to rinse off the dirt from the sewers. After the two cats got out of the river, Flashbreeze started to stalk them. Though the dangers of NCL cannot go unnoticed, as a huge snake attacked them. While Pepper and Honeymoon ran, Flashbreeze attacked the snake. Honeymoon and Pepper moved forwards to ShadowClan territory.

Once in ShadowClan territory they stumbled across Softbriar. Who lead them into the camp.

Later, Pepper asked Furstar if she could join, and got accepted.

A few moons later the fire from the gathering drives her and the rest of ShadowClan to NCL, and there at 39 moons she gets her warrior name, Pepperflame.

Pepperflame becomes a mentor, and trains with her apprentice Violetpaw and they quickly bond.

While wandering around NCL land she stumbles across Softbriar, one of the cats who helped her join ShadowClan, and they chat for a while.

While guarding the makeshift ShadowClan camp, a RiverClan warrior named Hickoryfrost almost runs into it, while chasing a butterfly. After stopping her and arguing a bit, they become friends, and go hunting together.

A few days later she comes across Ripplefeather, Violetpaw's mother. She reassures her that she is training her apprentice to the best of her ability.

The next day Pepperflame spots Rippleheart, she doesn't recognize him at first but she recognizes him a few moments later. They chat for a while and she finds out he has kits. And he finds out shes a mentor.

While hunting with her apprentice, she and Violetpaw go deeper into the forest of NCL. There they get ambushed by a fox. After it attempts to pounce on Violetpaw she pins it against a tree. It kicks her off and claws her across the eye. In an attempt to distract the fox Violetpaw ran at the fox. Pepperflame, taking advantage of the distracted fox leaps onto its back and bites the back of its neck, causing it to shake her off and run off. After leaving the forest to get to camp, they come across a stream and Pepperflame stares at her wound in utter horror. They rush back to camp and Ripplefeather applies some herbs to her eye. Pepperflame then goes into the warriors den to rest.

She then finds Honeymoon again. They chat for a while and talk about whats new.

She follows the Clans forward on the journey.

While she was in the new NCL, the silent forest. She found Strike, after stalking him in the undergrowth and failing. They chat for a while.

While hunting with her apprentice, Violetpaw tells her that she's sad (lmao how do I describe it) Pepperflame tries to comfort her. It works in the end and they go back to the makeshift camp, Pepperflame telling her if she ever needs a cat to talk to that she'll be right there for her.

She comes across Silvermoon. After Pepperflame insulting her for what seemed like forever Silvermoon runs off but Pepperflame calls for her, finally feeling empathy. She apologizes and they sort of make up. They chat and Pepperflame talks about her bad Twolegs.

Later she hangs around the poison lake, and Falconswoop warns her to not touch the reeds. They chat for a while and Pepperflame has an idea for a fun hunting challenge, in which both cats would have 30 mins to catch as much prey as they possibly can. Falconswoop counts down, and they both run into different directions. She follows a birds scent to a large tree and for some unknown reason climbs it. She goes onto a thin branch and leaps at the bird, who was already flying away. She falls onto the branch with enough force to snap it, and she falls down breaking her front paw. Falconswoop finds her and gets Snow, who helps her.

While moving to the new territory she finds Violetpaw and tells her about her broken paw, they chat for a while and make jokes about frogs.

In the new camp she finds Silvermoon and helps her out carrying pieces of prey to the freshkill pile.They chat for a while and Pepperflame goes to sleep. The next morning she wakes up and spots Silvermoon by the freshkill pile. She attempts to stand up, but puts to much pressure onto her broken paw, causing her to fall and her paw to emit lots of pain. She ignores this and walks over to her Clanmate and chats with her.

A moon later when her paw had finally healed she trained with her apprentice and found out about all the terrible things happening to her.

After training Pepperflame searches for Honeykit. When she finds the kit she tries to persuade her to not be angry at Violetpaw, as she was going through a lot. Honeykit said that she would apologize to her after Pepperflame talked with her for a while.

That night Pepperflame wakes up in StarClan and finds Ripplefeather, who had a message for her, that StarClan doesn't take lives they just know who's next. She also learned that Violetpaw would have another life leaving her. Ripplefeather tells her not to tell her this.

The next morning she is training with Violetpaw when she tells her what Ripplefeather told her, leaving out the whole another life would be taken from her, however Pepperflame felt bad about not telling her.

Shortly later Heatspirit dies, and Pepperflame feels miserable for not telling Violetpaw.

While walking past the magical den of medicine she spots Clearpaw there. She strikes up a convo with him and they talk about stuff.

While she was being depressed she was by the beach near Violetpaw. They talk, then look for things then watch the sunset. Oh yeah and she reveals that she knew that someone would be leaving her, but its fine, nothing really happened after that.

Time passes and she does the warriors assessment thing with Violetpaw and she passes.

More time passes and Violetpaw becomes Violetbird. Yay.

When Pepperflame accidentally wandered into NCL she met Blossom. They played mossball for a bit until deciding that they should play something else. They then played hide and seek and then tag.

Later she and Silvermoon meet and go to the beach.

The next day while she is hunting she follows the scent of fresh meat and gets trapped by a fox trap. Rosepaw finds her, her foot covered in blood, slowly staining the grass around it and goes to get the medicine cat. They come and find her in like severe pain. I mean c'mon that would hurt.

While she was in camp watching a bee buzz around she met Cedarpaw.

One day later she is being chased by a fox, she runs towards Adder river and jumps onto a log that was above the waters. She steadily walked across it but once the fox jumped onto the log she slipped and fell into the waters.

Furstar saw her and leaped into the water to save her while she was still sinking. Maplenose then also saw her and leaped into the water. Furstar told her to leave as she could not save two cats. Pepperflame meanwhile blacked out from the lack of oxygen. Maplenose left and Furstar dragged Pepperflame out of the river onto the shore. Then Violetbird showed up, who Furstar told to get a medicine cat. Violetbird left and Pepperflame woke up.

She was coughing up lots of water when Maplenose decided to go get Riverclans help. Pepperflame then stopped coughing up water, gasped for air, then started coughing again. She then stopped and promptly died. Violetbird returned and pretty much saw her dead mentors body.

Now she big dead.
