Heathersky

"Sleep and eat, sleep and eat." - Heathersky of Fallenclan

"***OH NO!*** Just look at the state of my whiskers! I wouldn't want to dishonor Petalshine's memory like this!"

Heathersky is a short, white furred she-cat with light brown markings on her nose, ears, paws, and tail tip. She has glowing blue eyes, and some quite unruly whiskers. She is the former mate of the treacherous Blade-- a former adversary to Fallenclan. She is quite overprotective of her kits and would do anything to get her paws on just one of her precious grandchildren. The name of Blade must never be spoken around her.

## Personality

Heathersky is the definition of overbearing mother, overbearing grandmother, and overbearing great grandmother. She is fiercely defensive of her kin, and will come out of retirement at any moment to defend her children, great grandchildren, and great great grandchild. She is convinced that eating and sleeping are a way of life, as these are low-risk activities. However, Heathersky also has a deep sense of guilt which seems to drive her every action. She is often deeply affected by loss, especially if it's one of her most precious kin or a closest friend. Alas, you can expect her to defend her kin tirelessly until the day that she dies.

## History

### Kithood

Heatherkit is born next to her sisters Leafkit and Silverkit inside the Fallenclan camp. Her mother, Lasthope, dies shortly after their birth. So their father seeks out a new she-cat to raise them. Eagleflight practically kidnaps the kits, becoming a mothering figure and eventually the new mate of Featherfoot.

### Apprenticeship

The three sisters are soon made apprentices. Heatherpaw and Silverpaw receive warrior mentors, whereas Leafpaw decides to become a medicine cat instead. Also apprenticed at the time are Bladepaw and Graypaw, along with Deadpaw, Tigerpaw, and Leopardpaw. Heatherpaw trains hard, doing her best to learn some warrior skills.

One day, Bladepaw calls the other apprentices to the training hollow for a secret meeting. The seemingly flustered apprentice throws down a hawk, standing upon it and announcing his plans to take over the weakling cats of Fallenclan. Heatherpaw and the other apprentices are both shocked and appalled. Bladepaw growls, meeting Heatherpaw's gaze. Heatherpaw finds it hard to look away from him, almost admiring his menacing demeanor. Though she doesn't agree with him fully, she ends up agreeing to become a part of his cult along with some other apprentices.

But Bladepaw soon makes plans, murderous ones. He informs the group of a plot to kill Deadpaw, one of the weakling apprentices. Heatherpaw tries to speak out against this, her defiance clearly showing. So Bladepaw threatens her, sending her along with Graypaw into the forest to prepare to ambush the unsuspecting she-cat. While crouching in the bushes waiting, Heatherpaw and Graypaw discuss their mutual dislike of Blade's plan. But they come to the conclusion that they don't have much choice. Bladepaw would find a way to kill them if they failed him. With a sinking heart Heatherpaw leaps out next to Graypaw, helping him dispatch Deadpaw quickly and hide the evidence. With Bladepaw's task complete, they can now be apart of the group without their lives being threatened. Still, Heatherpaw wrestles with her decision for many moons after the incident.
