Rainblood

image source: Not avalible

## Appearance

She has beautiful blue-grey fur, although it's more grey than blue, with faint red tufts here and there. Her underbelly is white and so is her back left paw. Her eyes are a misty rainy blue, and she's blind in her left eye.

## Personality

Rainblood is prideful, as well as insecure. She wears her snarky/cold attitude like a shield to help her hide it, even from herself. She holds grudges for a very long time and dislikes interacting with most kits as she’s easily irritated. Beneath the surface a boiling temper that she wields with caculative percision shimmers, ready to be unleashed during battle. One could say that she isn’t opposed to battle, or getting her claws a bit bloody.

## Kit-Hood

From the time she could speak she was spouting out how much she wanted to be a warrior, and for a time she never noticed the unsure looks her clanmates would give her as a passing glance or when they were tolerating her as she rambled on how she wanted to be the very best. Rainkit was blind in her left eye, and was since birth, which threw off her depth perception among other things. Many doubted that she could become a warrior because of this. She became bitter and narrowed her circle of cats she talked to down to her parents and her two brothers, Groundkit and Dropkit. Slowly she stopped playing games of tag or cat and mouse, or even mossball, just so that she could try and come up with her own moves and perfect her hunting crouch. She was bitter from those who doubted her, but she was determined to become a warrior.

## Apprenticeship

As an apprentice she never really made any friends, and even disliked her mentor. She thought that her mentor was taking pity on her with all of the looks she received and how many times they asked if she needed help getting somewhere. All she wanted was to prove that she was just like every other apprentice, half-blind or not. Rainpaw never took a day off, except when her parents passed on to Starclan. Her father went first, succumbing to an originally non-lethal wound that had gotten infected. Her mother didn’t last long without him, and soon she joined him among the stars. She questioned weither she really believed in Starclan that day, because of everything she heard it sounded perfect. Like Starclan hardly had any struggles or hardships. It sounded like a place that was to good to be true, and a place that she’d rather never go to if that was the case. Her hardships had so far defined her, and she was determied to never forget the obsticals that she had overcome up to this point and that she would overcome in the future. With this attitude she managed to keep up with Groundpaw and Droppaw, and even excelled sometimes.

## Warriorship

She was more than satisfied by her fierce new name, Rainblood. In that moment when she received it she felt as if she had been rewarded for all of the times she spent training and working instead of lazing around or taking a day off. Her two virtues were Strength and Resilliance, which she agreed with whole heartedly. It was one of the few times that she actually smiled, and her brothers later told her how they were so proud of her. It was one of the best days of her life in all honesty. For a little while her icyness faded, and she became a bit more of a decent cat to talk to and hang out with. Rainblood believed that she had already proven herself enough, and that she could finally be treated like she was any other cat. One comment from her old mentor was enough to reverse that feeling and send anger coursing through her veins. At the time she had hardly been able to continue her anger, but she managed to be the better cat and leave before things could escalate. Yet they followed her still. When she returned to camp around sun-down she was back to putting up her barrier and decided that she honestly didn’t give a rat’s tail about what others thought of her. As long as they didn’t question her ability to fight and didn’t treat her any differently that is. It took longer for her old mentor to return, and some were actually worried that she had killed the old cat, but that was proven false when they returned unharmed. They were wrought with guilt stemming from what Rainblood had said to them out in the forest. The young warrior had spilled everything about how their pity and extra questions made her feel, and had berated them for a while before she had left to return to camp. The uncertain looks were all that remained, and she proved that she was capable without a doubt when the tribe attack occurred. She joined the plan to try to trick the tribe into thinking they were on their side, and her claws were stained with Tribe blood from the first attack on their camp as well. The looks stopped, as did any extra pity. She had finally proven herself, but her shield still remains because she’s insecure from all of the doubt in her life. She doesn’t want to let any cat to close, in case they notice something that makes them think that she’s not capable again. The Great Fire was the end of her old mentor, who had become an elder after the Tribe. They never found their body. In recent days she’s found warrior life to be rather boring with only patrols to bring her a brief relief from it. She longs for a bit of bloodshed to get her fire burning once more, but she won’t betray her clan to try to initiate such a thing. Whatever she is, she isn’t a traitor. With her spending more time in camp she’s noticed the amount of kits increase and dreads that she might have to get an apprentice. The only one that she can somewhat respect and tolerate is Oakkit, and she certainly has a grudge against Kindlekit for trying to threaten her, as well as taunting her skills. She’s more neutral about Nimblekit since he mostly listened after saying a few words, but he could have tried to stop his brother anytime. She’s hopping that if anything she gets Oakkit as her apprentice if she has to get one at all. Otherwise she might have to fight the urge to shred some apprentices ears. Her anger from that incident built up inside of her, and eventually it turned into bloodlust. Rainblood disguised herself with mud, and disguised her scent using the Glideclan border so that she generally smelled like Glideclan. She entered into Puddleclan territory and ended Eveningfrost, and Footfoot's life. This caused Puddleclan to beleive that a Glideclan cat murdered them, when in reality it was her. She's been laying a bit low just in case recently, and promised Oakkit that she would talk to Fallingsnow to see why his mother was seemingly ignoring him. By this point she has grown somewhat accepting of Oakkit, and doesn't mind his company. Oakkit and his siblings were apprenticed not to long after this promise, and to her displeasure she was given Pantherpaw to mentor. Then Oakpaw had to go off and end up missing along with his brother Lightpaw. For the first time in a long while Rainblood felt the urge to protect. It confounded her that she wanted to make sure that Oakpaw was safe, but she chalked it up to the fact that she could relate to the apprentice somewhat. The doubt that he felt from his mother ignoring him and the urge to prove himself...She rememberes feeling all of that, although for different reasons. Her apprentice’s personality and attitude was something she didn’t expect, even though she was already dreading having to train one of Oakpaw’s littermates. She did almost try to shred his ears within The first few minutes of interacting with him, because Pantherpaw practicly was worshiping Starclan, and called her stupid. In the end however she ended up feeling a bit of sympathy for the tom, and ended up agreeing to his question of *’does that mean you love us?!’* She does somewhat care for Oakpaw after all, and Pantherpaw joining that party wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world.

## Quotes

* “You need to wise up or someday something is going to kill you!” *-Rainblood to Pantherpaw*
* “And? Are you expecting me to *‘bow’* to you? Ryestar may be my leader, but I won’t let his sons or daughters walk all over me.” *-Rainblood to Kindlepaw*
* ”I have done the unthinkable, brothers of mine. I have done things that would have mother and father rolling in their graves, hell you probably won’t see me up in Starclan, but putting all of that aside I just wanted to thank you for staying by my side when others didn’t. Without you two I would have crumpled a long time ago.” *-Rainblood to Groundstrike and Droplight*

## Trivia

* Originally Rainblood was intended to be completly blind, so that her clanmates doubting her ability to be able to fight would make a tad more sense. Then the Dark Forest would come in and teach her echolocation, like a bat, and that’s how she would maneuvere around to fight. That was shot down though.
