## Physical Description

Dreamshine is a silver Maine Coon- Norwegian Forest Cat mix tabby she-cat with a dark grey stripe running from just behind her ears to the tip of her tail down her back. Her stomach is white, along with the tips of her paws. There is a small white area around each of her eyes as well. Over each eye, a circle the same color as her stripe is noticeable. Her eyes are a bright blue. She has multiple scars, located on her back, shoulder, throat, and left eye.

## Personality

Dreamshine is much quieter than her sister Wasptoes. She is intelligent and clever, and can think fast. She's usually quite calm, and tries to solve issues peacefully. Usually, she keeps most of her opinions to herself, and tries not to get in the way of others. It takes quite a bit to rile her up, but once she has made a full grudge, it's extremely difficult to break that. She will make enemies for life.

## Skills and Weaknesses

Dreamshine is intelligent, clever, and quick thinking, with a sharp mind. She is a good hunter and excellent fighter. Dreampaw has asthma, which interferes with more extensive physical activities, making her unable to run.

## Life

### Kithood

Dreamshine was born to Lakedapple and Lionstar in the early times of newleaf with her littermates Wasptoes, Beetlepaw, and Ferretbounce. In the same day, Nutmegseed gave birth to Rusheyes, Larkpaw, and Beeskip. On her first day out of camp, she was dragged into trouble by her sister, Wasptoes, wrecking havoc in the medicine and apprentice dens. When she was only three moons old, following Wasptoes after she ran, upset from camp, both kits ended up falling into a flooded stream to be saved by their father, Lionstar. Not soon after, she, Wasptoes, and Rusheyes ended up in ShadowClan territory, and had a small fight with Coldkit and her mother Raindash mainly because of Wasptoes' feistiness.

### Apprenticeship

Dreamshine was apprenticed to Falconstorm alongside her siblings and Nutmegseed's kits. Not long into her apprenticeship, Nutmegseed, who was almost like a second mother to her and her siblings was killed when saving Dreampaw and Nightclaw from a venemous snake. For nearly a moon afterwards, Dreamshine wasn't the same, mainly very depressed and speaking to little others.

When she was nine moons old, Dreamshine andElkjump when out hunting encountered a massive dog. Galewind and Emberheart came to help them, but Elkpaw still ran to camp to get reinforcements. Rusheyes and Mudstar both arrived to help, but eventually, while killing the dog, Mudstar himself lost his last four lives to a bite around the neck. Once more, Dreamshine took the death hard.

Later in her apprenticeship, Dreamshine woke in the Dark Forest. A cat called Quickfoot offered to train her, and thinking that this could help prevent any tragedies like Mudstar's death, not knowing who the cats of the Dark Forest really where and what they had done, Dreamshine accepted. During her time in the Dark Forest, she fought, and then made friends with an apprentice called Flintpaw (Flintspark), who told her the true nature of the cats there. When Dreamshine was horrified, Flintpaw tried to help her come up with a plan to escape the forest. Eventually, Dreamshine ended up telling Wasptoes and Lionstar about the Dark Forest, and Lionstar told her he'd help get her out.

In the last moon of her apprenticeship, a traitor within Windclan blinded Galewind. Wasptoes accused Lakedapple, who was acting suspicious of the act, and when Lakedapple did not argue, she was exiled by Lionstar. Temporarily, Lakedapple returned to being a kittypet, taking her old name of Charlotte. But she and Sunblaze eventually joined Shadowclan. At the Gathering, Lionstar told his kits to choose whether to stay in Windclan with him, or join Lakeblossom, as she was now called, in Shadowclan. Dreamshine threatened to leave the clans to Lionstar, but eventually, talking to Lakeblossom, she was convinced to stay in Windclan. Beetlepaw and Stagkit went to Shadowclan.

With Ferretpaw, Wasppaw, Beepaw, Rushpaw, Skypaw, Snakepaw, and Elkpaw, Dreampaw became Dreamshine. Ferretpaw became Ferretbounce, Wasppaw became Wasptoes, Beepaw became Beeskip, Rushpaw became Rusheyes, Skypaw became Skynose, Snakepaw became Snakestone, and Elkpaw became Elkjump. Beetlepaw also became Beetlewatcher in Shadowclan.

### Adult Life

Soon after becoming a warrior, Dreamshine witnessed Wasptoes ask Rusheyes to be mates. Rusheyes accepted.

The traitor was eventually revealed as Skynose, who was exiled from the clan to many cat's relief. Much to Dreamshine's horror, she found out Stagpaw, who had gone with Lakeblossom to Shadowclan had died, becoming Stagheart before he did.

Dreamshine met Adderscratch out on the moor with Wasptoes, and during their various interactions, grew to think of him as more than a friend.

One day, when out hunting, when she was eighteen moons, Dreamshine stumbled across a very dramatic scene at the gorge. Lionstar had fallen to the the bottom, lost a life, and had no way back up again. During the commotion that followed with Wasptoes, Beetlewatcher, Falconstorm, and Cherryfur, Falconstorm tried to climb down but fell, losing his life. Through the horrible tragedy of losing her mentor, Dreamshine, Wasptoes and Cherryfur decided to dig a tunnel to Wasptoes. Dreamshine was only able to pull through her sadness when Nutmegseed and Falconstorm both brushed against her from Starclan, making her aware of their presences. They managed to dig a tunnel down the gorge to Lionstar, but on the way back out, the tunnel collapsed on Dreamshine, Wasptoes, and Cherryfur. With the collapse, Dreamshine broke several ribs and fell unconscious.

For some reason, when she fell unconscious she awoke in Starclan. She managed to speak with Nutmegseed, Mudstar, and Falconstorm again, which gave her new hope. She was pulled from the tunnel by Wasptoes. It did take her a moon to heal, but eventually, she did.

From Lakeblossom's litter in Shadowclan, with Buzzardkit in it, her younger brother had decided moons prior he wanted to come to Windclan. When Buzzardkit first met Dreamshine, out on the moor with Lakeblossom and Furstar escorting and Beetlewatcher Wasptoes present, Buzzardkit assesed Dreamshine and told her, “You’re weak. Like most she-cats, you’re beautiful. Beautiful, but weak.” She barely reacted, and pretty much came to the conclusion Buzzardkit was a little brat. For some reason, Wasptoes managed to get him to shut up. After everyone else failed, and the kit made threats against a very large list of cats.

Only a little while later he glimpsed the scar on her shoulder from the Dark Forest and decided, "You’re beautiful /and/ strong! Impeccable!”

So, life happened, Buzzardkit became Buzzardpaw, Dreamshine got a new apprentice, Dovepaw, and life was basically lived. Along the line, Dreamshine finally realized she was in love with Adderscratch, and they became mates through a very cute conversation.

And then the Gathering happened. A huge fight broke out between lots of cats, where, in effort to stop it, Dreamshine and Beetlewatcher leapt atop the Great Rock, and basically shouted at every single cat at the Gathering. Dreamshine said, "Look at yourselves! Fighting here, at a Gathering. Is this what the Clans have become? A squalling bunch of honorless cats? Have you forgotten what the Clans should represent, what the Gathering should be? Have you forgotten those who have joined the stars, watching on us? Stop fighting! Open your ears!" She also badly quoted Hamilton and it was very cringy looking back. Starclan got.. upset with all the fighting, and sent lighting, which started a massive forest fire.

During all that, Buzzardpaw, being the little brat he was/is, pushed Dreamshine off the Great Rock. Luckily, she landed on her paws.

Windclan, and all the other clans were forced to flee to No Clans' Land. Galewind was killed by wounds from an owl, making Dreamshine depressed once more.

As she hadn't since her apprenticeship, at 24 moons, Dreamshine woke up in the Dark Forest. Quite some time back she had realized the true nature of the cats living- dead there, so she was horrified. She met Scarfrost, who declared himself her new mentor, and eventually severely wounded her on the back, ears, neck, and throat, leaving several scars. Falconstorm, from Starclan, heard the encounter, and he and Scarfrost had a show-down.

More life happened. In the absolute cutest conversation, Dreamshine asked Adderscratch to be her mate. He agreed.

At the age of 27 moons, during the Great Journey, Dreamshine gave birth to Mudkit, Burrkit, Nutkit, Pondkit, and Falconkit. Also known as the Hamilkit gang. During the next moon, Mudkit drove her to her wit's end, getting into trouble every heartbeat. A moon later, Dreamshine adopted Lynxkit from Riverclan after his parents both died.

Of course, life went on. More cats died, and Dreamshine fell back into the depression cycle. Pondkit died shortly after birth, and Falconkit died before apprenticeship, Adderscratch also joining his two kits in the stars. Dreamshine never fully recovered from those deaths.

On a border patrol, Dreamshine and Marshstep got into a skirmish with Badgerstrike of Riverclan, along with one of their apprentices. Eventually, this skirmish turned into an all out war.

In one of the final confrontations between the two clans, Dreamshine led Badgerstrike away from Windclan camp, so her new adopted kit, Gorsekit, did not have to witness the fight. After a fight, she was kicked into the river, and fell onto a sharp spire, which impaled her through the back. She died of blood loss shortly after, living long enough to witness Badgerstrike jumping into the river to save Wasptoes, who was drowning, who had jumped in to save Dreamshine. Her living three kits had become warriors that same day, becoming Burrpath, Mudfeather, and Nutflight.
