Echowhisper

## Appearance

Echowhisper was a small, long-furred, silvery she-cat with black and white markings; dark green blue eyes. The insides of her ears have small white patches, like small stars, against black fur. She also has darker stripes under her eyes, and small hints of brown coloring on her pelt.

## Personality

Echowhisper, when she was young, was socially awkward and quiet, although smart and energetic. She had no friends other than her foster brother, Brownstripe, but she greatly enjoyed his company. She also tried to remain optimistic about difficult situations, but has a hard time talking herself out of being upset. She often stuttered when she was nervous or excited.

After being exiled from MoonClan, she became depressed and paranoid. She began to hallucinate. Her hallucinations quickly drove her to a snapping point and she went insane. She looked back more than she looked forwards. With every sound she would whip around, her claws ready. Every movement that caught her eye made her fur stand on end. She trusted no one and nothing. To her, everything brought doom.

In the end, she was noble and courageous and was willing to risk everything, even herself for her homeland.

## Likes and Dislikes

Echowhisper- when she was alive- enjoyed sitting by some of MoonClan streams by the SunClan border, listing to the rushing water and the soft chirping of the birds. She also enjoyed seeing her sister- Poisonheart- on the edge of their territories whenever they got the chance. Sometimes, she would wander slightly beyond the territories, especially in the warmer new-leaf weather, as well as listing to the elder's stories. Her favorite prey was squirrels.

She disliked loud noises and bright lights- which may have been a product of her sensitive hearing, or her upbringing in the darker MoonClan territory. She also disliked swimming, much unlike her sister, and being insulted, which is quite understandable.

## Strengths and Weaknesses

Echowhisper is a quick thinker- memorizing things easily, and is curious, creative, and smart. However, she is quite anxious and often hesitant. Her thoughts often wander, and she is usually distracted by an odd leaf or a strange rock formation. She is quite insecure, a product of her upbringing, and is easily offended.

## Family

Echowhisper's mother was- Lilac- a small brown tabby she-cat with light blue eyes. She was sweet and gentle, but often very forgetful. She lived outside of the clans near the edge of two-leg place, and loved her kits and mate dearly.

Her father- Hail- was a large and powerful silver dappled tom with blue-green eyes. He was curious and optimistic, but often quite foolish. He lived with Lilac on the outskirts of twoleg place.

She had two siblings, Poisonheart and Webbedclaw. Poisonheart was a light brown tabby she-cat with green eyes, and later a deputy of SunClan. She was understanding and sincere, and although careful, she was easily manipulated. Not that Echowhisper ever took advantage of that. They had a good relationship, and often relied upon each other, although they only got to see each other for short intervals of time when they snuck away from their clans. Webbedclaw- a dusky brown tom with blue-green eyes- was prideful and judgmental, but extremely intelligent. He was a warrior of BlazeClan, and didn't care for his siblings.

When Echowhisper came to MoonClan, she was raised by Hazelfeather- a ginger and brown tabby she-cat with green eyes and Crowstream- a black tom with blue eyes. Hazelfeather was insightful and persuasive, but generally impatient. She died- or rather, she went missing- shortly after Echowhisper became an apprentice. Crowstream was sarcastic and quick-witted, but very loving of his family, and Echowhisper. He also disappeared alongside Hazelfeather. They were both warriors of MoonClan.

Her foster brother- Brownstripe- was a brown tabby tom with blue eyes. When first Echowhisper was brought to the clans, they quickly became close. Brownpaw thought of her like a sister and Echopaw thought of him as a brother. They were good friends and would often tease each other, like many siblings do. The only strain on their friendship, was Duskpaw, who was jealous of the attention Echowhisper received, and wanted Echowhisper for himself. He was cheerful and optimistic, as well as outgoing and gullible.

Briarfang- another one of her foster brothers- was a long furred brown tom with yellow-green eyes. He tried to be friends with Echowhisper, but he also wanted to be friends with his brother, Duskfur, although he didn’t necessarily approve of his choices. Briarfang was nice to Echowhisper, and talked to her whenever Duskfur wasn’t around, but eventually stopped, when his brother made him chose between kin, and friends. He was always a follower, and very loyal to his true family.

Another foster brother of his- Thrushwing- was a tan and brown tabby tom with green eyes. He hardly ever interacted with Echowhisper, as he followed Duskfur around, but he wasn’t mean to her, and when Duskfur bullied her, although doing nothing about it, he didn’t participate and showed her quiet sympathy, so Echowhisper somewhat considers him a good cat that made bad choices. He was quiet and insecure, but very loyal and trusting.

Duskfur was a dark grey tom with yellow eyes, and yet another foster brother of Echowhisper. When Echowhisper came to the clans as a kit, Duskfur (at the time, Duskkit) thought that she had stolen his mother’s heart and was extremely jealous of her. He couldn’t tell his parents this because he was afraid of his emotions and saw them as a weakness.

Duskpaw was Brownpaw’s best friends until Echowhisper came along. Brownpaw assured Duskpaw that they were still friends but Duskpaw wouldn’t believe him. With this anger Duskpaw vowed to make Echowhispers life as miserable as possible. When she was hunting, he would scare her prey away. When she was practicing battle moves alone, he would pelt stones at her. When she was talking with Brownpaw, he would sit and watch, his heart filled with hatred.

When Echowhisper was exiled from the clans, Duskfur didn’t feel pleased. He wanted her gone, but not this way. He had seen her the night of the murder and knew she didn’t do it (because he was spying on her) but didn’t want to say anything because he was afraid of being punished.

It turned out that Duskfur liked Echowhisper all along and hated her because she never showed feelings for him. He never admitted this but knew it deep down in his heart. He was aggressive, scornful, and overconfident, although he was afraid of his feelings, seeing them as a weakness. He was also extremely passionate when he wanted somethings.

## Education

Shrubwhisker was a brown tortoiseshell she-cat with green-yellow eyes and Echowhisper's warrior mentor. She was rather blunt, often coming across rude, and was extremely courageous and logical.

Daisyleaf was a small calico she-cat with green eyes. She trained Echowhisper to be a medicine cat. She was gentle, relaxed, and very focused.

## Enemies

**Pikeclaw**- Large grey SunClan tom with blue eyes

Why: When Echowhisper was an apprentice, she was patrolling the SunClan border with Shrubwhisker (her mentor), Brownpaw, and Snakefrost (Brownpaw’s mentor). Brownpaw and Echopaw found a dead rabbit covered in SunClan scent in their territory and were about to tell their mentors about it when a SunClan patrol of three, including Pikeclaw, attacked. Pikeclaw took on Echopaw and Brownpaw. He easily knocked Brownpaw unconscious and almost did the same to Echopaw when Shrubwhisker saved her. She encountered Pikeclaw once more in her life, where he was going to kill her, if it weren’t for his crush (and Echowhisper’s sister in SunClan), Poisonheart, at the time, Poisonpaw.

## Background

Echo, along with Web (Webbedclaw) and Caramel (Poisonheart) was born to Lilac and Hail in an alley in twolegplace. When they were a few weeks old, Hail went off to hunt and didn’t come back. After two nights of waiting, Lilac went to search for him, but she to, never returned. Lead by Caramel, Web and Echo went out to look for their parents but were caught by patrols of MoonClan, SunClan, and BlazeClan (as of the time they shared a border). The three clans decided to split the kits between them, with MoonClan taking Echo, SunClan taking Caramel, and BlazeClan taking Web.

In MoonClan, Echo was renamed Echokit and given to Hazelfeather and Crowstream to care for. At the time, Hazelfeather had four other kits, Brownkit, Duskkit, Thrushkit, and Briarkit. For the first half-moon that Echokit spent in MoonClan, she hardly spoke. She was frightened by all the cats, and she missed her family. Once, she tried to run away, but was easily caught. The first cat that Echokit spoke to willingly was Brownkit, who in his persistence, had made a friend out of her.
