## Appearance and Personality

#### Appearance

Moon is a slender black she-cat with dark blue eyes. She's taller than either of her siblings and also taller than Hazel (but only barely.) Her ears are badly shredded and she has a thin scar over one eye. She has several other scars, mostly on her back and sides.

Also, she got all those scars on her own. None of them were Hazel's fault. Hazel liked Moon.

#### Personality

Moon was a harsh kit. She was constantly angry and she absolutely hated her siblings. Most of this was just Hazel's bitterness trickling down to her. Over time, she has created an icy persona to present to the world. She's only kind to Dodger (well, she was), Rapid, and occasionally to kits.

## Backstory

#### Kithood

Moon was born to Hazel alongside Night and Void. She was the biggest of her siblings and the most brutal. She had a natural instinct for fighting and, with Hazel's training, she became a very good hunter.

Moon never got along with Void and usually chose to ignore Night's existence. Hazel encouraged this. Hazel is the worst.

Things were normal for three moons. Moon fought with her siblings, particularly Void, quite often. But when the kits were three moons old, Hazel took Moon and left.

Moon and Hazel continued traveling for a few moons until they reached twolegplace. Hazel tried to find her family, but discovered that most of her family was dead. Moon, after learning that Hazel had brothers, remembered that, hey, didn't I have siblings? She fled from Hazel, determined to go find her siblings. By the time she reached their old home, Moon was about eleven moons old. There wasn't a scent left to track, but Moon tried to be logical and track down her siblings. She eventually came across Night and Void's log. What remained of it, that is. She figured that they both died in a fire, forgetting the fact that they could both swim and therefore might have escaped.

#### Adult Life

Moon, having given up on her siblings, headed back to the heather only to discover that an old tom named Dodger had moved in. She just hadn't noticed before because of her preoccupation. He allowed her to live with him because he felt bad for this poor scrap of fur that we call Moon.

Moon didn't like him, predictably. In her eyes, the heather patch was her home and he was just borrowing it. It soon became no one's home when it too burned. Dodger and Moon only barely managed to get out alive. Moon got badly burned though and was forced to rely on Dodger more and more.

The pair moved away from Clan territory (they didn't know that the Clans lived there) and Dodger continued to care for Moon until she was well enough to hunt for herself again. Moon grew to respect Dodger, seeing him as the father she never had. They chilled for awhile.

Then one day, some random rogue was passing through the area and thought Moon was pretty. She basically said, 'k, we're going to fight and if I win, you go away,' and he's like, 'sounds good. If I win, you're my new wife.' Spoiler alert, Moon wins.

Moon decides she likes him anyways and lets him stay. Dodger warns against this, but Moon ignores him. Moon is good at ignoring people.

So Moon, Dodger, and the new guy, Rapid, are all just kinda vibing until Rapid suggests that they have kits. Moon flips out and gets really mad out of seemingly nowhere. Rapid is confused and scared until Dodger steps in and is just like, 'Moon, c h i l l,' and Moon's like, 'heck no,' so Rapid runs away for a bit.

Eventually, Dodger gets Moon to calm down and Rapid comes back. Moon's still kind of ticked at him but he doesn't mention kits again so things are chill.

But then Dodger gets sick. Moon and Rapid, who have both become very fond of the old man, do their best to cure him, but they're both fighters. They aren't healers. So Dodger dies and they're both depressed for awhile.

One day, Rapid finally gets the courage to ask Moon about babies again. Moon agrees this time because she feels bad about Dodger dying and things are just too quiet without him. So they move again, because they don't want to raise children in a place where someone died.

So one day, while Rapid's off hunting, another rogue wanders into the area and decides to attack Moon because she wants to live in Moon's den. Moon does not like this. So, despite being two and half moons pregnant, she tries to fight off the rogue. That's where a lot of her scars came from. Rapid showed up and helped drive off the rogue, but not before Moon was badly hurt.

Moon nearly died when her kits were born, but she's Moon and she isn't going to die because she has kits. No. Anyways, she had four kits. She let Rapid name their only son, and one of their daughters. Moon named the other two. Shadow, Cinder, Midnight, and Dodger were protected from a lot of harm by Rapid, who managed to convince Moon that the way Hazel raised her and her siblings was absolutely terrible and that they were not going to raise their children like that.

Currently, Moon and Rapid are just chilling in some forest somewhere with their three-moon-old kits.

## Other

* Moon named Midnight partially after her sister, whose name used to be Night.
* Cinder is named after the burned log and heather patch, aka the way Moon thinks her siblings died and the way Moon nearly died.
* Moon was so against having kits because of the way she was raised. Not because she was scared of turning into Hazel (she already thought of herself as a monster, so turning into Hazel wouldn't have been a problem), but because she was scared of Rapid turning into her father.
* Moon's son, Dodger, is no longer dead because I love his design too much.
* Moon has a slight connection to StarClan. Stronger than most loners, actually. Because of this, she occasionally catches glimpses of the future in her dreams, like that one time she dreamed about Emberglow and Ashface.
