Lagoonfrost

## Appearance

Lagoonfrost is a rather large and heavily-built cat. Her fur is long and sleek. She has a gray tabby coat, mostly dark gray but with flashes of silver. She has white markings as well, particularly around her neck, face and tail.

## Personality

Lagoonfrost is chatty and cheerful, but also stubborn and nosy. She's gossipy, and also really, \*really\* loud. Lagoonfrost has a talent for sarcasm, and she likes kits a lot. Despite her noisy and sometimes cocky nature, though, Lagoonfrost doesn't really like fighting. Too many cats have killed each other in her lifetime.

## Story

#### Kithood

Lagoon was born to Puzzle and Arrkya, a pair of loners. The three of them were a cheerful little family, but Lagoon's parents, who'd once been part of a rogue group that'd disbanded, wanted to join some sort of group. They found a tight-knit group of cats calling themselves the Sentinels, a very moralistic and strict group that was trying to have a peaceful life - by making everyone else have a peaceful life. They were like a giant gang of really forceful mediators. Lagoon didn't really fit in with their strict rules, and was always stepping out of line. This annoyed the Sentinels' guardians (leaders) a whole lot.

Once day one of the guardians, a very old she-cat called Allium, got fed up with Lagoon's antics and told her she had to go live on her own for a quarter-moon. This was a five-moon-old kit, by the way. Lagoon's parents were furious, but Allium was adamant.

So Lagoon set off to go live on her own. She was determined to survive - and *thrive*, for that matter. Lagoon was *not* going to let some old lady order her around, *thank you very much.* So she marched off and stumbled upon a big ol' waterfall, which she was intrigued by. But then she slipped and fell right down the cliffside into the cave with the waterfall. She cut her paw, which hurt, but she was distracted by the beauty of this place. So she spent the night at the barking Moon Falls. You can't blame her. The gal didn't know about the Clans.

Until, that is, she met Jasminepaw one day. Jasminepaw was a twelve-moon-old apprentice in FallClan. She was a calm and levelheaded cat who, instead of chasing this fluffy loner child away, sat down and had a conversation with her. Because Jasminepaw is cool like that. So Lagoon got to learn all about FallClan, which she found *quite* interesting. She spent the next quarter moon meeting Jasminepaw at the border and listening to stories from the Clans.

And then Lagoon had an *excellent* idea. Her parents wanted to join a group of some sort, right? Well, since the Sentinels were all strict and grouchy and no fun at all, maybe she could convince her parents to come join the Clans! Then she could talk with Jasminepaw all the time *and* be in a group she actually liked.

What happened, though, was that Lagoon walked right into a battle. *Apparently* the Sentinels had tried to un-war-ify a group of angry battle cats - in short, they'd gotten themselves mixed up with Colony. And the result wasn't pretty. You see, Colony is built on battle. Lagoon witnessed, from a distance, the deaths of every single Sentinel - including her parents. She was understandably horrified and devastated, and ran for her life. Colony caught up to her and was like 'child who the heck are you', but Lagoon just turned and ran away. No way was she getting involved with those murderers.

#### Apprenticeship

By the time she was six, Lagoon had made her way back to the Clans. She found Jasminetuft, explained her predicament, and asked if she could join FallClan. Of course Jasminetuft marched her right back to camp and argued with the leader (who was already agreeing with her, but Jazz wasn't taking any chances) until Lagoon was let into the Clan. She became Lagoonpaw and was apprenticed to a strict older tom named Duckpelt, who honestly reminded Lagoon of the Sentinel guardians and annoyed the heck out of her.

Later that moon she met Goldpaw, a FallClan apprentice who was a few moons older than her. He was kind of.. odd, but she was willing to give him a chance. Anyway, Lagoon was planning to sneak out and see the Moon Falls again, and Goldpaw insisted on coming along. Lagoonpaw was like 'okay, whatever', and they set off. But they were caught by Duckpelt on the way. He asked where they were going, Goldpaw told the truth, and Duckpelt subsequently put them on the dawn patrol for three days straight. Lagoonpaw was angry. She was also unnerved that instead of responding when Duckpelt punished them, Goldpaw just sat there silently, looking like he wanted to straight-up murder the old tom. It rubbed Lagoonpaw the wrong way, and she started avoiding Goldpaw.

And then near the end of the moon, Goldpaw got in a fight with an apprentice, Whirlpaw, who was the same age as Lagoonpaw. Lagoonpaw talked to her afterward, and the two became kinda-sorta-acquaintances-or-friends-or-something.

A few moons passed. Nothing much happened, to be honest. Lagoonpaw started to recover from the trauma of her parents' death and really began holding her own as a Clan apprentice. She wasn't *exceptional* at hunting or fighting or stealth or patrols or anything, but she was *okay* in all her skills, not really *bad* at anything. So she was doing pretty okay. A straight C+ to B- student. And she was okay with that.

Whirlpaw moved to HorizonClan. Lagoonpaw wasn't particularly heartbroken about that.

#### Warrior Life

Lagoonfrost became a warrior after passing her assessment in the most mediocre way possible. She was named 'frost' because she never really talked to anyone as an apprentice. Lagoonfrost was like 'okay, whatever' and just kinda... *lifed* for a while.

She and Jasminetuft remained friends throughout her warriorhood. It was cool.

When Lagoonfrost was nineteen, a tom called Rimu joined the Clan, becoming Rimuchasm. He and Lagoonfrost often talked, as he was only a moon younger than her. It wasn't very long before Lagoonfrost had a huge crush on him. The gal falls in love really easily.

At age twenty-six, Lagoonfrost and Rimuchasm were out on patrol one day when she just randomly blurted out that she had a crush on him. Rimuchasm opened his mouth to respond - and a tree branch fell on him. Talk about bad timing. Lagoonfrost dragged him back to camp into the medicine den and came back to check on him often. His condition wasn't getting noticeably better or worse.

One day Lagoonfrost was kinda just like 'sooo... about what i said before the tree squished you...', and Rimuchasm got really angry for some reason, demanding how she could be thinking about that when he was in such bad health. He actually scared her out of the den, and she went to the edge of the territory to sulk. A few days later, she was walking by the medicine den and found that he had died just a few minutes before. Lagoonfrost had extremely mixed feelings about that. She was still kinda salty over how he'd yelled at her.

Goldthicket killed Whirlwing when she came to visit. Lagoonfrost honestly wasn't all that shocked. I mean, sure, she was reasonably freaked out that yet another cat had been murdered in front of her, but Goldthicket had always scared her a bit. He was exiled, though. And now Lagoonfrost stays away from the borders so she doesn't run into him.

Oh, and when she was thirty-three, Duckpelt was killed in front of her by a barking owl on the midnight patrol. She swears to this day that it was some kind of giant mutant owl, because she still hasn't seen an owl that big since. (In reality, it was a Great Gray owl, the biggest owl species. Those things can and will attack your cats. )

When Lagoonfrost was forty, she stumbled upon a very injured Sproutsong, who'd gotten into a fight with Goldthicket. She half-carried him back to the medicine den, which sorta reminded her of getting Rimuchasm back to the medicine den, which made her extremely determined to keep Sproutsong alive. She ended up having to run to MarshClan and grab Songskip since the FallClan medicine cat wasn't available. She is not, however, a messenger, and her legs were like 'nope, forget you, we no longer work', so she was *also* dragged back to the medicine den.

Anyway, a few days later she decided to go hunting with Sproutsong. Just because she ran into him, totally not because her heart did this weird skippy thing whenever she saw him, nope, definitely just a hunting trip. On said hunting trip, a mix-up with a salmon caused her to accidentally tackle Sproutsong, and an extremely awkward moment ensued. He ran off, and Lagoonfrost was confused, and it was chaos for everyone. (I, Dragon, was enjoying this quite a bit.)

So what ended up happening was that Sproutsong confessed his feelings for Lagoonfrost, Lagoonfrost freaked out a bit while also admitting she liked him back, and now they're sort of awkwardly floating in a half-romance, half-friendship, half what-the-heck-are-we-even-doing-also-this-is-too-many-halves.

The strand's still running, so we'll see what happens.

#### Trivia

* The Colony cats that attacked the Sentinels were the Sky Colony, led by Clouds in Sunlit Sky himself. Don't know who he is? I don't blame you. If you really want to know, Wide Eyed Moon's page on the old wiki should fill you in. This is assuming you've already read about Colony.
