Cedarpoppy is known for her gentle nature and now is recognized in her own Clan for her connection to the strange Travelers. Cedarpoppy is your mom. She's my mom. Cedarpoppy is the mom.

## Appearance & Personality

### Appearance

   Cedarpoppy is instantly recognizable, with soft ghost-white fur and striking russet markings. This red color is found on her folded ears, in patches around her eyes, a small flower shape on her chest, her tail tip, and the tabby stripes leading down her back. Her eyes are primarily gray with heterochromatic areas of deep gold. Her tail fur is plumy and she has a very average build. She occasionally wears poppies and white daisies, a gift from Hollypaw, though she more often uses them as decoration for the nursery.

### Personality

Cedarpoppy is a sweet-natured cat, friendly and helpful. She is respected for her good advice and is very supportive. She is more than happy to stay out of the limelight and was never one for glory or flashiness. Cedarpoppy is content to just be a stay at home mom for her whole Clan. She’s excellent if you need someone to talk to or a shoulder to cry on.

## Background

### Kithood

Born in early leaf-fall to Brightflower of MarshClan, Cedarkit was the third-born of a litter of four. Her older siblings, a sister and a brother, were named Applekit and Bouncekit while the youngest was named Doekit. Their father, Starktunnel, lived in OrchidClan and often visited until the kits were old enough to travel, at which point they sometimes made the trip to visit him.

Cedarkit was a generally well-behaved young cat. She liked spending time in the elders' den, listening to stories and such. When she wasn't doing that, however, she could usually be found getting roped into one of Bouncekit's mischievous schemes. For example, when they were four moons old, Bouncekit convinced Cedarkit that they could totally dig a tunnel of their own. Digging the tunnel was the easy part, it turned out - surviving the cave-in was significantly harder. Luckily for both kits, Cedarkit managed to stumbled across a rabbit warren while digging and they made it out into the territory. From there, it was easy enough to get a warrior's attention and get back to camp. They both got scolded for it, but Brightflower was mostly just glad that they were okay.

When the kits were five moons old, they were asked to choose where they were going to spend their apprenticeship. Cedarkit decided to stay in MarshClan, as did Bouncekit. Doekit chose OrchidClan, wanting to spend some more time with Starktunnel. Applekit, never one to go with the flow, moved to HorizonClan. It wasn't entirely unreasonable - Brightflower's sister Jaymask lived in HorizonClan, but it still felt odd for Applekit to go there. However, the siblings bid each other farewell shortly before they were due for their apprentice ceremonies and went to their respective chosen Clans.

### Apprenticeship

Cedarpaw was apprenticed to Limelace, a bouncy younger warrior who was very excited to be training their first apprentice. Cedarpaw liked them pretty well, finding them to be capable as well as fun.

It wasn't too long into Cedarpaw's apprenticeship that news reached her that Applepaw had left the Clans. Brightflower was devastated and confused. Bouncepaw and Cedarpaw didn't know how to react. Applepaw had always been a little different, but just completely leaving like this? There hadn't been any sign that she wanted to leave when she was younger.

Cedarpaw made up her mind to go look for her, to track her down and bring her back to the Clans. Brightflower disapproved immediately and Bouncepaw told her not to, but Cedarpaw was dead set on retrieving Applepaw. She refused to consider anything else. She headed out a few days after notifying her mom and brother.
