## Appearance and Personality

#### Appearance

Redfire is a small she-cat with long, thick, fluffy, dark gingery-red fur. Her pelt is covered in darker splotches, and she has a light orange splash on her chest and on the tip of her tail, and a white splotch across her face. Her ears are small and folded, and her tail is long and bushy. There are a few faint tabby stripes along her legs and tail, too. She has dark green eyes.

#### Personality

Redfire is very passionate and bold. She is eager and outspoken, often coming off as thoughtless or impatient. She is stubborn and defiant as well, occasionally argumentative, but she is also quite energetic and fun-loving. When she gets angry, she will not hesitate to rip the unfortunate offender to pieces with that sharp tongue of hers, but she calms down almost immediately and is quick to forgive and forget.

## Backstory

#### Kithood

She was born to Strawberry at Strawberry’s house. Because Strawberry was a kittypet. Strawberry had a house. Scorchstripe - her father - would visit Strawberry in her yard every so often, and it was soon decided that Strawberry would give the three kits to him so he could bring them back to the Clans. She and her siblings were not named, because Strawberry thought it would be too painful for her to remember her kits by name. When she was two moons old, she, her brother, and her sister were given to her father. Scorchstripe left twolegplace to take them back to the Clans with him.

For the next two moons, the newly-named Redkit travelled with Scorchstripe, Applekit, and Foxkit to get back to Clan territory. She was annoyed by their new names at first, although she eventually grew to like them. She had a very good relationship with her father and siblings, and loved imagining her own future along with her littermates'. She was very fiery and passionate, and always helped to urge her father onward whenever he was feeling particularly down or missing Strawberry more than usual.

On one occasion, Foxkit almost got murdered by a badger. That was sort of frightening at first, but Redkit later thought it was really cool and awesome and kept pestering him to tell her what it had been like. Scorchstripe got mad at her for that. She didn’t care. Redkit did whatever she wanted. She also thought it was neat when Applekit almost got ran over by a car. Scorchstripe got mad at her for that, too. Oh, and she once managed to climb up a tree with encouragement from Applekit and got stuck. She was afraid that Scorchstripe would get angry at her if he found out, though, so she just yeeted herself off the top and made her paws and legs extremely achey for the next several days. Scorchstripe never found out, though, so... win?

When Redkit, Applekit, and Foxkit were four moons old, Scorchstripe brought them to OrchidClan, where they were permitted to join by Lavenderstar. Once there, they were fostered by another queen and got to know their new Clanmates. Unfortunately, less than a moon later, Scorchstripe suffered from a sudden heart attack that ended up killing him. Redkit and her siblings were shocked and devastated. Redkit got more discontent and unhappy, and she found herself more impatient than ever to become an apprentice and prove her own worth, thinking that training would make her forget the grief. She also developed a closer bond with Foxkit, aggravated by Applekit’s cheerfulness in spite of their father’s death.

#### Apprenticeship

Redpaw was apprenticed to Rushdawn. For the most part, she trained pretty normally. She liked making fun of Foxpaw because he sucked at hunting, and she thought she was more awesome than all of the other apprentices because Rushdawn had cool-looking fur.

When they were seven moons old, Applepaw decided to move to HorizonClan. Redpaw was somewhat upset about that, but she still had Foxpaw, so she didn't really mind that much. She figured that she would still be able to see her sister at gatherings, after all.

Redpaw also found out that Foxpaw was meeting with a loner named Seagull at the outer border after following him out of camp once. She wasn’t sure how to feel about it, because she knew he probably wasn’t supposed to be doing that, but she decided not to say anything. It was none of her business who her brother decided to be friends with, and if he wanted to get into a relationship with a loner, that was *his* problem.

Eventually, Lavenderstar closed OrchidClan's borders, and stopped taking them to gatherings. Redpaw was pretty unhappy about that. She didn’t get to see Applepaw anymore, and she couldn’t annoy any of the apprentices from other Clans. That aggravated her a lot.

You know what else she was unhappy about? Myrtlepaw. Myrtlepaw was an older apprentice who kept trying to flirt with Foxpaw, except she was creepy about it. Redpaw hated her. They really didn't get along at all. Even after becoming a warrior under the name of Myrtlepelt, she continued to be disturbing, and Redpaw continued hating her.

Anyways, on one occasion, Foxpaw accidentally caused a slightly older apprentice, Volepaw, to lose his tail. He was sort of upset about that and Redpaw tried to be all like "nO iT'S nOt yOuR fAuLt" even though it kind of was. Two of Volepaw's siblings, Kalepaw and Vulturepaw, came over to yell at Foxpaw. She yelled at them for trying to yell at him. Then Vulturepaw decided he had a crush on her. Redpaw failed to notice. It was mighty awkward.

#### Warrior Life

Redfire earned her warrior name. She existed and did nothing notable for a while. She and Foxpounce were pretty bummed out that they wouldn't be able to celebrate with Appleshine. In fact, Redfire was kind of pissed about it. She decided to join Palestep and Leafshine's rebellion. So she became a part of that. While getting situated there, she became friends with the older warrior Beestripe, and then things probably got less awkward with Kalefur and Vulturescorch, since they were also in the rebellion. Yay. Good for her.

You know what else she did? She dun donked Myrtlepelt. Myrtlepelt killed Seagull (more details on her page), and Redfire sliced her face open in return. Then she and Leafshine convinced Lavenderstar to exile her. So... yeah, she beat up Myrtlepelt and then got her kicked out of OrchidClan. I mean, Myrtlepelt deserved it. So good job, Redfire.

Then the plague happened. Rushdawn died. Redfire was pretty sad about that, and she connected a little with his second apprentice at the time, Sagepaw, over it. But *then* the *second wave* struck. Redfire caught it that time. She almost died. But she didn't! Good for her.

After recovering, she continued to chill for a while. It came to her attention that her old denmate Lotusmoon was crushing on Foxpounce, and she decided that it was her duty to set them up and make Foxpounce stop being depressed in the process. So... for a while, she was just vibing and trying to make LotusFox happen. And also rebelling against Lavenderstar. We can’t forget that.

She managed to get Lotusmoon and Foxpounce to go hunting together once and she was exceedingly proud of herself for it. Once they did a bad job flirting, she pressured Lotusmoon into following him into the warriors' den and making small talk. *That* actually worked, much to her delight. She also became friends with Sageblossom after she received her warrior name. She wanted to help set Sageblossom up with her crush, Flashfoot, too, but Sageblossom insisted that she didn't need help. Redfire told her she'd be watching, though. Y'know, just in case.

On one occasion, she shared a rabbit with Vulturescorch and made fun of Lavenderstar. They discussed how it was sorta telling that Leafshine was performing all of the ceremonies now, and how they deemed it to be about time that the rebellion actually struck. Then they decided to go find Leafshine and ask about that. Then Leafshine told them to go round up all of the other rebellion members for a final meeting before she really put her paw down. Redfire was excited and decided they'd waited long enough. She and Vulturescorch got together with Kalefur to spread the word. And so they did that. It was cool.

And then, like, a few days later, Leafshine *did* really put her paw down. And she did it successfully, too. Lavenderstar stepped down. Leafshine made her name back into Lavendersight and confined her to the elders' den. Redfire was probably one of the most enthusiastic cats there. She fully supports that decision, and while she's a little concerned about the fact that Lavendersight still has five lives, she's perfectly content under Leafshine for the time being.

Currently, Redfire's just vibing.

#### Trivia

* Not to be confused with Redcloud, a tom who is one of OrchidClan’s messengers. Or Redleg, Silentecho’s father. Or Redsplash, the brother of Sunstriker and Gorseblaze.
* Strawberry was a Scottish fold. She doesn’t remember Strawberry, and she’ll never meet her. But anyways, that’s why she has cute lil curled ears.
* She ships LotusFox. Really hard.
* She will hopefully be Aloe’s mentor in the future so they can yell about Myrtlepelt together. That would be fun.
* She has no idea that Vulturescorch is crushing on her. She's not interested in romance anyways.... unless...?
