## Kin

### Daughter(s)

Vixen that Trots Along, Lily Stems and Leaves, Raven that Flies to Stream (adoptive)

### Son(s)

Eagle that Dives Down at Deer (foster), Driftwood that Rides Current (adoptive)

## Appearance

Shimmer is a large, fluffy, pale silver tabby she-cat. She has light blueish-green eyes, and soft fur.

## Personality

According to her character form, Shimmer loves control, and is deeply manipulative. All of this is correct, as she has swayed several cats to trust her unconditionally. Two of those cats include Eagle and Raven, though the latter has learned to see her for her true self. Shimmer loves to put on a facade of fake kindness, and she will act this way as long as she needs to in order to gain a cats' trust.

Shimmer, despite this, has been shown to have an actual love for kits, though once they get past a certain age she doesn't have the same affinity for them. She's rather coldhearted, but she certainly wasn't always this way, contrary to popular belief.

## Role in Roleplay

Prior to the roleplay, Shimmer had a mate and kits, though both died, which served as a tipping point for her to go "screw it", as she had nothing to lose.

At the beginning of the roleplay, Shimmer is a permanent queen in the Tribe of Rushing Water. When Crowpetal, Northpaw, and Southpaw decide to stay with the Tribe for a while, Shimmer is very welcoming to them, though Northpaw knows that it is a facade upfront. Shortly thereafter, Shimmer leaves the tribe after learning of Sixstar's existence, hoping to partner up with him, as they both had something they want. Eagle and Raven both came with her.

Shimmer arrived in the Clans, and joined ShadowClan, agreeing to give Sixstar information about Crowpetal, Northpaw, and Southpaw's whereabouts within the Tribe, as long as Sixstar agreed to help her take over said Tribe later. She settled down as a permanent queen in ShadowClan.

She didn't do much for a while, but was a prime figure when it came to planning the battles that the Clans would undergo. After Lilacmist and her group of Rebels came to ShadowClan, she partook in the battle against ThunderClan after, and later led a group to RiverClan, accompanied by Goth, to attack them.

Shimmer fought against Briarstar, the leader, and took one of her lives, and, believing she was victorious against the Clan, began to relax, only to be caught by surprise when Briarstar came back to life, as she still had lives remaining. Briarstar was able to kill Shimmer afterwards. Shimmer did not go to the Tribe of Endless Hunting upon her death, instead, she went to an unknown afterlife.

## Killed Victims

- Silvery as the Moon (Silver)

- Briarstar (one life)

## Relationships

### Raven that Flies to Stream and Driftwood that Rides Current

Neutral-negative: Shimmer was a good mother to her two adoptive kits, even if it was her essentially training them to be her minions. However, now that the truth is out about her motives, both Raven and Drift have rejected her.

### Eagle that Dives Down at Deer

Neutral-positive: Shimmer was a good mother to Eagle as well, but Eagle hasn't been able to reject her fully since her death.
