## **Overview**

Fernglide is a former power cat with the power of growth.

### **Appearance**

Fernglide is a long, slender, she-cat who has long legs but a small build. They make her a fast runner and deadly hunter, along with her bramble-sharp claws. Her fur is very short and light grey in color. Her back, tail, and top of her head are covered in black and darker grey speckles of various shades. Her underbelly is the same color as the rest of her light grey fur. She has pale, moss green eyes and a small, dark-grey nose. Her toe beans are also dark grey.

### **Personality**

Fernglide is best known for her friendly personality and her cheerful attitude towards life. She always tries to look on the bright side of life despite it's many hardships. She's the kind of cat who greets everyone she meets, just to put a smile on their face, even for a few minutes. She enjoys long walks by the pond and exploring the wonder that is nature. She is a strong believer in Starclan and believes that not all things happen for a reason, and even they can not control everything. She is only open to cats she fully trusts, however, she is very willing to make friends. Fernglide is always full of energy and is a graceful and deadly hunter. Training is her favorite activity.

### **Power**

Fernglide can grow plants and flowers, as well as thorn barriers in battle on command, and sometimes off-command. Plants around her become much more full and bright, as well as much more floral and lively. However, plants not visited again within a week die out and become wilted. Using this power on command can also cause a nasty side-effect of thorns growing through her skin.

## **History**

Fernpaw was born into a life in Shadowclan by Lakestar and Hawkshade along with her 6 siblings, Lightpaw, Sunpaw, Lunarpaw, Bellpaw, Turtlepaw, and Songpaw. As a kit, she was always fascinated with the world around her and enjoyed playing with stray leaves and petals, as well as feathers and balls of moss. She made a bond with another she-kit named Russetkit and instantly became close, forming a crush in their apprentice ages until Russetpaw ran away, leaving Fernpaw heartbroken after her mother's death. She trained as an apprentice under her other mother, Hawkshade. During her final exam, Hawkshade and Fernpaw were sparing. Hawkshade went to pin her and she sprouted her first briar dome and discovering she was a power-cat. She was made a warrior under Timberstar shortly after her mother's death with the name Fernglide, after her speed and agility. She's been practicing her powers ever since. Hawkshade told her about a group of cats that could further help her with her powers, so she set off to find them, thus joining the Celestial Council. Fernglide recruited many other power-cats for the celestial council. One moonlit night, Threespirit announced they were renouncing their position as leader, and they thought Fernglide would make a good choice for the next. The council at the time voted, making Fernglide the leader of the Celestial Council. Upon the LostClan encounter, lead by Timberstar as a ShadowClan representative, she saw the bodies and lost souls of the former clan slaughtered in the valley below. She came so close to giving her own life to save another she never met but knew she had the Celestial Council to lead, as well as Tallkit to care for and Webpaw and Blackpaw to mentor.

## Graves watched

Fernglide watched over the graves of anyone she's known and even some she hasn't. She tries her best to honor and remember the fallen.
