## Appearance and Personality

#### Appearance

Mistrunner is a dark gray she-cat with lighter gray tabby swirls. Her eyes are a stormy blue-gray.

#### Personality

Mistrunner is typically pretty quiet. Many cats find her pretty likable, though most are concerned about her. When she's especially tired, she starts acting really hyper. She is only truly chill and calm at night.

## Backstory

#### Kithood

Misty was born on the edge of HorizonClan territory. When she was a young kit, her mother died. It sucked. But Sootsnow happened to find her and took her to OasisClan. That sucked less.

What did suck was that her adopted dad, Addercreek, wasn't great with children. In fact, he hated them. His mate, Littlebird, had only become mates with him in hopes of getting him to chill. It hadn't worked.

Addercreek straight up left the Clans when Mistkit was about three moons old. Littlebird then took her to HorizonClan. Mistkit didn't hate it, per say, but she *did* openly dislike it.

#### Apprenticeship

Shortly into her apprenticeship, Mistpaw befriended a young cat around her age named Irispaw. This was good because without Irispaw, I think she would have just left the Clans.

Surprise, surprise, Irispaw died. It was kind of Mistpaw's fault. See, Irispaw came up with the idea of racing up a tree. She won, but at a cost as a hawk swooped up and carried her away. Without Irispaw, Mistpaw was totally depressed again.

Near the end of her apprenticeship, the old messenger died and Mistpaw stepped up alongside Pineclaw to be the new messenger. Sootsnow, who had tried to stay in contact with the younger cat, trained her in all her messengery ways.
