Lightningdust

**Lightningdust,** formerly known as **Asriel,** is a member of TaigaClan and a former loner and kittypet.

## ***Appearance/Description***

**Lightningdust** is a large tom with shocking, electric, glowing blue eyes. (Eye colour hex code is #04d9ff) He is a chimera cat, meaning that his pelt is split down the half. One half of his face is a golden tabby whilst the other is midnight black. For the rest of his body, his fur is just golden tabby with lots of black splotches. His fur is medium, very slightly leaning more towards short. His tail is slightly ruffled, and his paws are wide. His ears are long and large, with tufts at the end.

He is also noted to be slightly tall and long-legged, as well as having long whiskers.

## ***Personality***

**Lightningdust** is seen as strong, talented, slightly impatient, and easily angered. However, this is more of a mask he puts up, as ever since he was invited to TaigaClan a few moons ago, he is under the impression that all warriors must be serious and show no soft spots. He is slowly trying to let that slide away though, but is finding it very hard.

He loves warrior life and holds it incredibly dear to his heart. He was often tossed around a lot as a kit, so the thought of having a home and fellow clanmates to trust and walk alongside is extremely joyous. This is mostly why he acts so stern all the time, as the thought of losing all of this is dreadful in his eyes.

He often overcomplicates things, and can be quite pessimistic.

It can be quite difficult to see the true version of him, but once it shows you won't regret it.

## ***History***

**Lightningdust** was born as **Asriel ,**
a kittypet. His mother was **Julia**, a golden tabby she with blue eyes, and his father was **Rook**, a jet-black tom with long fur and brown eyes. He had six littermates: **Zeus**, a golden tabby tom with brown eyes, **Melody**, a golden tabby she with brown eyes and black stripes. **Cosmo**, a chimera she with mostly black fur, and brown eyes. **Layla**, a golden tabby she with blue eyes. **Barney,** a dark golden tabby tom with dark blue eyes, and **Pepa,** a golden tabby she with a black tail and ears with green eyes.

Asriel and his littermates were kicked out by their twolegs at three moons, and the family quickly had to find a safe home. Rook was a loner and had his own group, so they made a journey to their camp. Cosmo caught greencough and was very ill, and Pepa did not make the journey.

Finally, they made it, only to find that Rook's group were very bad cats who would imprison any cats who got in their way and steal other's prey without thought. Cosmo only got worse and eventually the greencough won over her. Horrified by the loss, Layla, Zeus and Melody fled to find new twolegs, and Rook's Group eventually took Julia's life after she spoke out against their actions.

Deeply shocked by all of this, Asriel, who was around 7 moons at this point, ran and ran away until his legs could not carry him, and from then on hunted for himself. He would travel frequently and eventually master hunting all by himself, being a quick learner and naturally skilled. He eventually came across TaigaClan and impressed Soulstar with his talent for hunting, and after his apprenticeship (he kept his kittypet name through this) he decided to take a warrior name, Lightningdust.

## ***Relationships***

***Julia:*** He loved his mother dearly. Her death was incredibly harsh for him but he will never forget her.

***Rook:*** Lightningdust does not think of Rook as kin, and will never forgive him for what he has done.

***Barney:*** Lightningdust is unsure. He never saw him much as a kit, as Barney usually kept to himself or their father. He was the only one that stayed with Rook so he has some suspicions.

***Cosmo:*** Lightningdust and Cosmo were extremely close as kits and didn't usually do anything without each other. He will never forget her playful energy.

***Layla:*** Layla was probably the most quiet, being very jumpy, nervous and reserved. Like Barney, Lightningdust never played with her much but she seemed nice and has good opinions on her.

***Pepa:*** Pepa was a bit of a showoff as a kit, always being very talkative and spreading silly kit lies. Lightningdust looks back on her with amusement, as she was just a kit and was only doing it for fun.

***Melody:*** Melody was pretty shy, calm, always collected and was the ''wise older sibling'' of the kits. She always seemed to have an answer for every question. Lightningdust, likewise with all of his siblings, is very fond of her.

***Soulstar:*** Lightningdust respects her beyond belief for taking him into TaigaClan and has very high gratitude towards her.

***Petalshine:*** Lightningdust is very close friends with her, and has found himself catching feelings. He doesn't know this yet and it will take a while for him to figure it out.
