Hollysecret

Hollysecret keeps to herself most of the time. It's how she's most comfortable. Cats who don't know you can't hurt you and she'd rather be alone than deal with hurt. Though she would never admit it, Hollysecret misses her family, especially Snowyraven.

## Appearance & Personality

### Appearance

Hollysecret is a pretty average sized cat with short, silky fur. She is mostly black with patches of ginger splashed along her body, face, and tail. She has white back paws, a small white patch near her mouth, and white on her tail tip, chest, and belly. She has pretty yellow-green eyes.

### Personality

Hollysecret is a cat who would much rather listen and observe than talk. She is quiet and deeply uncomfortable with being in the limelight. She is strategic and, while this doesn't win her many friends, it does make her a good warrior. Another trait that tends to drive cats away is her sharp tongue. Hollysecret is quite witty, but her discomfort around most cats manifests in harsh words. She keeps to herself a lot, as it's a lot easier to be alone than to try and get along with other cats. She is easily irritated and gets bored with repetitive tasks. She is an excellent hunter and, while less than personable, she is a valued warrior.

Hollysecret's closed off, quiet nature hasn't endeared her to many of her Clanmates, but the few friends she has are very close. She values her family, or at least the ones she still has, quite a lot. Her closest friend is probably Basilpool, if you don't count her brother Snowyraven as a friend.

She is seen as enigmatic and strategic, neither of which are necessarily good things but aren't really bad either. She is definitely a cat of actions rather than words and those she cares about know this. She is a surprisingly open book if one takes the time to get to know and understand her.

## Background

### Kithood

Hollykit was born in OasisClan. Her brother Snowykit was born a few minutes after her. Their parents were Velvetburst, a sweet-tempered tortoiseshell molly, and Fadedheather, a mottled gray cat who loved to make cats laugh. They were a little older than most cats would be as first-time parents, but both cats were very involved with the kits' upbringing. Hollykit never had reason to doubt the fact that she was loved.

Hollykit had a good upbringing. She was close with her brother and parents, a tight-knit little group. Hollykit enjoyed looking for trouble and dragging Snowykit into it with her. She got along well with Basilkit, one of the other kits in the nursery who was two moons older than her but had the same mischievous tendencies. When Hollykit wasn't with Snowykit, she was with Basilkit.

Life was pretty quiet during Hollykit's kithood. Nothing particularly major happened - no disasters, no familial loss, nothing major. When she was two moons old, a pair of kits named Verdinkit and Veerykit were born, which Hollykit was quite excited about. She was glad to have new kits in the nursery, even if their mom Kestrelnight made her a little nervous.

When she was four moons old, Basilkit and her siblings, Elmkit and Sagekit, became apprentices. Hollykit missed hanging out with Basilpaw all the time, but she still found time to be with the colorpoint molly and besides, she still had Snowykit to be with. Hollykit got along remarkably well with her brother and the two of them could often be found following Fadedheather around camp and begging them for another story or game.

Later that same moon, two young loners joined OasisClan. They were a brother and sister, Adonispaw and Irispaw. They were fine cats, if a little reserved, and Hollykit was friendly but tried to stay out of their way.

### Apprenticeship

Hollypaw was apprenticed at the proper time to Currantskim, which was pretty neat because he was Basilpaw's dad.
