## Relations

Crush: n/a

Friendships: Acacialight, Codthroat, her siblings and father.

Enemies: Briarshade

Mentors: Ryecrest

Apprentices: n/a (yet to even be trusted with the task)

## Interests

*Likes:* The tunnels. Storytelling. A full belly. Naps. Her siblings and father. Rain. Making cats flustered. Playfighting. Kits. Being the centre of attention.

*Dislikes:* Heat. Having to do duties outside her comfort zone. Her mother and any talk about her mother.

## Skills/Faults

*Skills*

Stamina (excellent stamina. She paces herself well, especially when digging, and could do so tirelessly). Eyesight (her eyesight is strangely superb. She sees quite well even in darkness). Brave (she fears very little. Perhaps that’s why she is not afraid of breaking the rules). Passionate (if she loves something she loves it with her whole heart). Physically flexible (her body is surprisingly flexible, and she uses this to her advantage when tunnelling and playfighting).

*Faults*

Selfish (she tends to only like to do things if she sees personal benefit or gain). Rebellious (she has a rebellious streak, and has since kithoood. She probably won’t do what she’s told and won’t care). Lying (she sees no harm in lying and does so readily, easily sprinkling it into her stories and such). Easily swayed (she isn’t that loyal to one cause, other than herself. A cat with persuasive speech can easily sway her away from what she’s working towards to aim for something else). Poor morals (her sense of good vs. bad is oddly tainted given her upbringing. She can easily fight for the wrong cause).

## Personality

Risinghawk is almost a stereotypical middle child in nature. Enjoys roughhousing, getting dirty, playing tricks, and doesn’t mind being lazy. She’s honestly not all that great of a warrior either, outside of tunnelling. She does love her siblings to death, and would do anything to keep her family alive. She makes friends easily but also loses them easily because she can’t keep them as she always puts herself first and is a lot to handle. She has a passion for storytelling and playing with kits, though she’s not the best influence. Deep down, so far down no one can tell anymore and she’s forgotten, most of this personality comes from her rejection as a child. In her mind, if she was already so much of a screw up that her mother didn’t want her from day one, she might as well do whatever the hell she wants and not bother trying to please anyone else anymore.

## Detailed History

*Dawnstar's Reign*

Risinghawk is introduced one storming night as she exits the tunnelers' den, seemingly unbothered by the pelting rain and wind. She approaches the prey pile and beckons a friend from the darkness, who reveals themselves to be Acacialight, her body covered by an unsuspecting denmate's nest. The pair steal prey from the prey pile (the scene is cut short from a time skip).

The following day Risinghawk pulls herself lazily out of her nest to pester Codthroat, whom she finds resting in the Moor-Runners' den.

## Detailed Appearance

  -BUILD: 9.5". The molly has an interesting build. Languid and alluring, feminine in a powerful sense. She has much muscle on her body but it does not look bulky while being an average height. She appears smooth and packed to the eye. Her limbs are powerful with large paws on the end perfect for digging. Her tail is long and silky. Her legs are a little bit shorter than average and her body a bit longer, perfect for tunnelling.

  -COAT COLOUR: A pale silver with warm undertones. Her tabby markings are darker and a colder blue, with the tripes being very thin and long and lacking in the neck area. Stripes are also sparse on the face. Her chest is white along with her hind paws from the leg bend down. Her chin and right cheek are white, and so is her neck leading from her chin. Her tail is almost entirely white with dark stripes.

  -COAT CONDITION: Thick and dense. Waterproof from light rain and from the damp air of the tunnels. Rich and shiny, not light and fluffy. Tufts on her ears and her cheeks. A tuft behind her head.

  -EYE COLOUR: A warm shade of welcoming yellow.

  -SCARS: She has a scar on the side of her neck from an incident when she was a -paw. A jagged boulder fell on her while tunnelling. No other significant scars thanks to her unwillingness to fight for others.

## Kin

Mother: Unknown molly ("Madea")

Father: Stagback

Sister: Larkwing

Brother: Stoatslaughter

## Backstory

Risinghawk never knew her mother, nor did her siblings. They grew up with only their father, Stagback, within the clans suckling extra milk from the other queens to survive. Too young to remember herself, she only knows the story from the mouths of others. Stagback, a bachelor tom no one thought would settle down, did not return to his clan one evening. By dawn, he carried three grey tabby kits in his jaw, mewling, just barely dry of their dam’s womb water. He never told anyone who the she cat was, only that the three were his own children by blood and they were to be accepted into the clan. Perhaps this is where Rising’s love of storytelling started, as she began as a story herself.

Immediately the silver molly was a pawful. She did not like being told what to do, and she appeared to only do things in her own favour. She wrestled too rough, so much so that eventually only her own siblings would play with her. When it became time to be an apprentice, she was far from excited. Moor-Runner was too much work. Sentinel was too much self sacrifice. Tracker was an awful lot of running if you asked her. And she’d never even been in a tunnel before. But because of the strength behind her limbs, Sentinel was chosen for her—perhaps even in hopes of some hard work improving her personality? That position did not last long. She was lazy in the rank, not enjoying it and saying so openly. Rising was switched to a tunneller apprentice under Valleystar’s rein and the silver molly’s attitude changed rapidly. She found actual joy beneath the ground and having a less strict schedule. She became less rebellious and more fun, though her apprentice period did last a bit long thanks to her goofing around.

She is now quite satisfied with her ranking and her life.

## Trivia

* Stoatslaughter is the tallest, and Larkwing is the shortest, Risinghawk is an easy medium-height between the pair.
