## Physical Description

Leopardroar is an 11inch (just above average height), long-legged she-cat with sleek dark grey fur. She has a light grey chest, left paw and stripes. Her paws have black "socks" on them. Leo has mint-green eyes. She has a scar on her spine from a fox, a scratch across her nose from a dog, a scar on her side from Hopefire, scratches on her legs from a suicide attempt and a scar across her chest from Mousefang (not shown in reference). She also has a scar on her right cheek from Ravenshade.

## Personality

Leopardroar is fierce, and can be downright violent if given enough reason. She is intelligent, but her judgement is easily clouded by negative emotions such as anger. Leo doesn't like being ordered around by anybody who doesn't, in her opinion, have the authority to do so, and will straight-up ignore their orders. She holds grudges and finds it hard to forgive, not trusting the other cat to have been redeemed. This notwithstanding, Leopardroar is actually quite affectionate with cats that she is close to and cares about, and is willing to offer advice or help them through a hard time in their life. She has a pretty hard time "thinking outside the box" and usually considers violence to be the best way out of a tricky situation. Safety is not her first priority, and she frequently does reckless things and even advises others to do the same thing. Leo rarely thinks about the consequences of her actions. Leopardroar's fatal flaw is fixation.

## Skills and Weaknesses

- She usually lets her emotions control what she does, and it results in actions that she regrets.

- Leopardroar is quite reckless, not thinking about the consequences of her actions.

### Kithood -

Leopardroar was born into a litter of three, to a loner called Ash. Her siblings were born very feeble, and soon died of sickness, not even getting names. Her mother called the remaining kit "Leopard", after her personality. It was just about the only motherly thing she had ever done. Ash never had time for her only kit, sometimes leaving Leopard alone for days. One day, she (Ash) came back and took her kit to the Shadowclan border, where she abandoned her. Leopard was taken into the clan when she was around 3 moons and raised there as Leopardkit. However, she never really had any parent figures in her life, so she became quite shy and lonely. Despite not having any real friends, Leo looked up to Furstar, the leader of Shadowclan, and Lakeblossom, the deputy.

### Apprenticeship

Leopardkit was apprenticed to Yarrowheart and was renamed Leopardpaw. Yarrowheart never really trained his apprentice, so Leopardpaw was always worse in fighting and hunting than her clanmates. One day,

Leopardpaw woke up in the dark forest, where her soon-to-be mentor, Scarfrost, told her that he could teach her to fight better than "any cat in the clans". Ecstatic, Leopardpaw immediately agreed.

One time, while she was patrolling territory, she ran into two cats named Twig and Falcon. She told them to get off Shadowclan territory, but they didn't listen, as they were actually setting a trap - leaving fresh-kill around to lure dogs into Shadowclan territory. When the dogs arrived, Leopardpaw was one of the cats to help fight them, along with Birdrunner, Mintbee, Softbriar, Littlestrike, and Bouncepaw. They managed to fight the dogs off, but Leopardpaw got a small scar across her nose.

Around this time, she met Bouncepaw. They became good friends, talking a lot to each other. Then, the unthinkable happened. The Shadowclan leader and Bouncepaw's mentor, Furstar, died when she fell off a cliff. Like many cats, Leopardpaw was grief-stricken, but she set aside her own grief to help Bouncepaw, who had taken his mentor's death very hard. Leopardpaw did her best to help him get through a difficult time, and they grew closer together, eventually getting crushes on each other.

After an argument with Falconpaw, Bouncepaw was taken to Riverclan. Scared for him, Leopardpaw followed Bouncepaw's scent trail to Riverclan camp and started trying to rescue him. However, her attempts were unsuccessful. After a conversation with Scout, Leopardpaw agreed to wait until someone came to get them. Spottedbelly, Softbriar, and Littlestrike arrived in Riverclan camp and took the apprentices home.

While this was happening, Leopardpaw was still training in the dark forest. She was learning new, powerful moves, but she began to dislike the place. She hated her mentor, Scarfrost, and during their training sessions, she was rude and talked back to him, angering him. He hated her as well, and often attacked her while they were training, not letting her defend herself.

Leopardpaw went to her first gathering, meeting a friendly Thunderclan apprentice called Flowerpaw. The two quickly became friends, but they did not meet often - only at future gatherings.

Leopardpaw and Bouncepaw grew closer and closer, spending a lot of time with each other. However, one time when they were sitting together in a tree, Leopardpaw slipped and fell out of it, injuring herself badly. Bouncepaw ran after help, and everything was alright. Soon after the incident, while she was alone in the forest with Bouncepaw, he confessed his love for her, and she answered that she had loved him too. The two started "dating", and regularly visited a daisy patch in Shadowclan territory, where Bouncepaw taught Leopardpaw to make daisy flower crowns, which later became quite symbolic in their relationship.

After Furstar's death, Lakeblossom became a leader. She made Bouncestream a warrior early when he was only 10 moons old. Leopardpaw did her best to try to be happy for her crush but still felt jealous. She became more distant and rude. This resulted in a fight with Heatherpaw, which ended in Leopardpaw winning and brutally scarring the other cat. Horrified at what she had done, Leopardpaw ran away from camp, going to leave Shadowclan and live as a loner. Bouncestream followed her, consoling her and telling her that he did not think that she was a monster and that she was just a cat who made a mistake. It resulted in them spending a day in the forest together - swimming, talking and making flower crowns for each other. Shortly after this, Bouncestream found out about Leopardpaw training in the dark forest and told Furstar, with whom he trained in Starclan.

To make Leopardpaw feel better about having to wait for a long time to be a warrior, Bouncestream made a fake warrior name for her, calling her "Leopardheart".

Later, she had a small argument with Silvermoon about whether if she was ready to be a warrior, and ended up holding a long grudge against the warrior. Eventually, though, she let it go.

Leopardpaw had an argument with Broken, telling the other cat that she was self-centered. However, Leopardpaw made it up to the other cat, and they became good friends.

Leopardpaw also met Lakestar's only surviving kit, Acornkit, and instantly befriended the other cat.

### Adult Life

Leopardpaw was made a warrior by Lakestar, and was renamed Leopardroar. The same night, she trained in the dark forest, where she fought with Scarfrost and ended up badly wounded due to the fact that he more or less cheated. On her first day of being a warrior, she ended up confined to the medicine den. Wow, Leopardroar.

After she recovered, her and Bouncestream went for a walk in territory, eventually coming to the patch of daisies where they spent most of their time. Suddenly, Bouncestream awkwardly asked Leopardroar to be his mate, and she agreed.

On the next day after becoming mates with Bouncestream, Leopardroar was outside the warrior den when she was approached by Pricklepelt, who proceeded to flirt with her, even though he knew that she had a mate. Leopardroar did not take kindly to that and threatened to claw his ears off. The fight eventually ended in Pricklpelt retreating.

Using their new-found freedom as warriors, Leopardroar and Bouncestream ( on Leopard's suggestion ) decided to go explore No Clan's Land. Everything was going well until two dogs showed up. Due to childhood trauma, Bouncestream immediately froze, leaving Leopardroar to fight the dogs off by herself. Somewhere in the middle of the fight, Bouncestream attacked a dog but got his paw broken. Leopardroar managed to fight the dogs off, but was extremely wounded and on the brink of death when Bouncestream carried her to camp. She was treated by Elmpaw.

Soon after this, Frostpaw was exiled for killing Pinekit. Leopardroar fully supported the decision. When she was recovering, Leopardroar decided to take a walk in territory, when she met Frostpaw, now Fuyu. They threw some insults back and forth, until Fuyu attacked Leopardroar, using the fact that she was still recovering from the dog attack. Leopardroar ended up being knocked out and in the medicine den for the third time in three moons.

After she recovered, Leopardroar met a Riverclan apprentice, Ravenpaw, in territory. Having repeatedly asked Ravenpaw to leave, all of which was met with a "No", Leopardroar took Ravenpaw back to camp. However, the action was misinterpreted by Mintrose, a Riverclan warrior who was watching the scene, as a kidnapping, and this resulted in a Riverclan rescue patrol being organized and Leopardroar being yelled at for kidnapping.

When everything in her life was undramatic for less than a week, Leopardroar's mate, Bouncestream, got pushed into a stream ( ironic, huh? ) by Cedarsoul, causing him to lose all memory of the past 6 moons and making him forget her completely. Upon being told by Bouncestream (who was told by Furstar in Starclan), Leopardroar sought revenge on the other she-cat but was unsuccessful in ever achieving it.

While patrolling the border, Leopardroar saw Fuyu, who had been taken into Windclan, there. It triggered a fight between the two, with a lot of insults being thrown around.

The same day, while Leopardroar was resting in camp, Crowbite and his followers - Hoefire, Cedarsoul, and Fuyu ( who was renamed Frostbite ) returned, leading a pack of badgers to the camp. Lakestar and some others, including Bouncestream and Brokenpaw, ran to Windclan, but others like Leopardroar were not as lucky. Having been trapped in the camp, she got into an argument with Hopefire, which resulted in a fight that was interrupted by Spottedbelly and Silvermoon dragging the other cat off Leopardroar.

From that day on, Leopardroar began doing small things to show that she was not happy with the rebellion. When several cats were thrown into prison, Leopardroar hunted for them and gave them prey to eat, which resulted in her being thrown into prison, too. There, she got starved, and by the time the rebellion was overthrown, she was extremely thin.

As if things couldn't get any worse, the next day Leopardroar watched from her cell as her mate, Bouncestream, who she thought was safely in Windclan, get dragged into camp and imprisoned. However, Bouncestream was released by a Riverclan cat named Coalpaw and used the same method to release Leopardroar from her cage as well. When Bouncestream was told by his little sister in a dream that something bad had happened in Windclan, Leopardroar followed him there, only to watch his father, Littlestrike, die from a dog attack. After helping her devastated mate to bury his father, Leopardroar returned to Shadowclan, where she was attacked and her prison cell resealed.

It was from that prison cell that she watched Bouncestream lose a fight with Crowbite, unable to do anything but yell. She insulted and swore at the tyrant, but to no use. Her mate had fallen into a coma. Later, Leopardroar met with him in Starclan, where he was hanging around while his body was knocked out. Having calmed a bit down, Leopardroar decided to wait for Boucnestream to wake up.

But even more drama was to come - Bouncestream's best friend, Honeysong, had gotten a crush on him. Leopardroar confronted her about it, and it resulted in a verbal battle between the two. Leopardroar ranted about how morally inacceptable it was to have a crush on someone who already had a mate, and Honeysong told her that she ( Honeysong ) deserved Boucnestream more than Leopardroar and that she had had a hard life full of break-ups, wounds, and betrayal. It ended in Leopardroar making death threats to Honeysong.

Soon after this, Leopardroar and Brokenpaw had a shared dream in Starclan. Having arrived earlier than her friend, Leopardroar watched, horrified, as Brokenpaw killed Frostbite. When Brokenpaw appeared, Leopardroar confronted her about it. Due to both of them having anger issues, this resulted in a physical fight, which ended in Leopardroar winning. Pushing Brokenpaw away, she left the dream.

At around this time, Lakestar cam back with the rest of Shadowclan and overthrew the tyrants, killing Crowbite and imprisoning Cedarsoul. However, Crowbite managed to evacuate his mate, Hopefire, who was carrying kits at the time.

Later, Bouncestream woke up from his coma, and he and Leopardroar had a conversation about Honeysong. Bouncestream reassured his mate that he did not have any romantic relationship with Honeysong, and it seemed that that was the end of their feud.

Leopardroar and Honeysong had several more arguments, holding deep grudges against each other. After a

particularly aggressive argument about how Leopardroar was "never there" for her mate and "slowed him down", Honeysong left for territory to pick flowers for Bouncestream. Leopardroar followed her, hiding until she found the right time to strike. She attacked Honeysong, knocking her out and almost killing the other she-cat. Realizing the possible consequences of what she had done ( Bouncestream hating her and getting exiled ), Leopardroar attempted to cover up her tracks and pinning the blame on Hopefire, who had run from Shadowclan after the rebellion's downfall.

After covering up her trail, Leopardroar ran to Shadowclan camp to tell everybody about the "horrible rouge who attacked Honeysong". Violetbird, Boucnestream, and Brokenpaw came with her, and for a while, it seemed like she was going to get away with it - everybody only wanted to help Honeysong. However, she was exposed by her own mate, who pointed out the holes and inconsistencies in her story, leading Leopardroar to confess, before running away into the forest.

After some time, Bouncestream went to look for Leopardroar in territory, promising that no one would attack her and convinced her to return to camp. There, she had yet another fight with Brokenpaw, who was complaining about Leopardroar eating the mouse that she caught.

When she was hunting in territory, she came upon Bouncestream's mother, Softbrair, giving birth in territory. Having never been to a kitting before, Leopardroar froze until Bouncestream and Brokenpaw arrived. At this time, a pack of foxes attacked the group. Leopardroar and Brokenpaw fought the foxes, killing two and injuring several. A fox took Leopardroar by surprise, almost killing her and leaving a long jagged scar on her spine. However, their efforts were not enough, and Softbriar was killed by one of the foxes right after she kitted Briarkit.

Leopardroar and Bouncestream decided to unofficially "adopt" the kit, taking care of him. However, both were pretty unfit to be parents and stressed out themselves and everyone around them. it was at this time when Leopardroar had an argument with Furpaw about Cedarsoul, being deeply convinced that the she-cat ( Cedar ) was evil and deserved death.

Leopardroar had a talk with Briarkit and yet another argument with Honeysong, adding to the tension between them.

Leopardroar, having somewhat made up with Brokenpaw, suggested that they go battle training. The two had several one on one battles, all of which Leopardroar won, but with difficulty.

Somewhere around this time, Bouncestream took two Riverclan kits, Blizzardkit and Quillkit, to Shadowclan camp. Leo angrily told him to return the pair, not wanting a conflict between RC and SC.

When they came back to camp, Leopardroar noticed Acornpaw come in, dragging the limp bodies of Lilacpaw and Lostpaw, who had almost drowned in the river. Having talked to Riverclan cats about the concept of CPR ( cat version ), Leopardroar performed it on Lilacpaw, thankfully saving the other cat.

While all this was going on, Leo failed to see Bouncestream's suicidal tendencies, and was surprised and horrified when he attempted to jump off a cliff, whihc she stopped by chasing him and holding him down while Bounceh struggled.

In a terrible mood, she met Raven in Shadowclan territory and attacked her out of rage, just hard enough to not scar the kit.

However, Bouncestream died less than a moon later because of his infected wounds, passing peacefully in his sleep when Leo was out hunting. His death quite literally pushed her over the edge, as she attempted to kill herself by jumping off the same cliff. She was saved by Brokenpaw and Stormriddle, but was knocked out cold in the process.

She went to Starclan while she was knocked out, talking to Bouncestream. He assured Leo that she would be able to go on without him and that he would always be watching over her.

A few moons later, during a "talk" with Honeysong (it was pretty one-sided), Leopardroar found out that she was pregnant with Bouncestream's kits. Bouncestream visited her in her dreams again, reassuring her that everything will be alright.

While Leo was pregnant, a fox broke into the nursery, targeting the soon-to-be queen. However, Honeysong attacked it, sacrificing her life so that Leo could keep hers.

**TIME SKIP TO SC WAR (I will add earlier events when I have time)**

Due to rising tensions between Thunderclan and Shadowclan, a war broke out. In the first battle, **Leopardroar** fought bravely, giving Mousefang a diagonal scar on her forepaw and Ravenshade a scratch on his ear. In return, Ravenshade slashed Leo's right cheek, scarring it. In the midst of battle, Leo lost track of Rosepaw, and her daughter was taken prisoner by Sunstar.

While she was recovering from her wounds, Leopardroar talked to one of Shadowclan's prisoners, Ravenshade, and gave him water. Though he was quite friendly to her, she refused to trust him, choosing to ignore him.

Bouncestream brought Leo up to Starclan, telling her that Rosepaw had almost been drowned during her time in Thunderclan. This pissed her off a lot, and she became very cold towards the prisoners.

**Stormriddle proposed to Leopardroar, and they became mates!**

**Leopardroar** had a talk with Beeflight, though it was pretty one-sided.

While patrolling, Leo met Messenger, who delivered a message from Rosepaw. **Leopardroar** did not trust the loner, not believing that she was not a clan cat.

While Leo was in camp, Swiftgaze brought her grandson, Pouncepaw (who was from Riverclan) to camp. A fight broke out between Pounce and Buzzardstorm, and Pouncepaw ran away from camp. **Leopardroar** followed him, and tried to convince him to come back, when Ravenflame showed up, killing Pouncepaw.

**Leopardroar** was taking a walk in territory to clear her head, still recovering from Pouncepaw's death, when she sees a gathering of cats around an unconcious Brokenrose. Leo does not take the situation seriously enough, making jokes on Brokenrose's behalf and pissing off Violetbird and Swiftgaze. Brokenrose wakes up, confused and annoyed, and starts making her way to SC camp. Leo stops her, annoying Brokenrose, who is an exile.

Leo got an apprentice called Peachpaw, and showed her Shadowclan territory. They got along quite well.

**Leopardroar** had a talk with Spottedbelly about apprentices and life in general.

Leopard had a less-than-positive interaction with Brokenrose.

Before the battle, Leo's daughter, Strikepaw, got her warrior name - Strikevine!

While checking TC territory, **Leopardroar** and Orchidpaw noticed a Thunderclan patrol coming to take it back. They hid, but Leafshine found them. **Leopardroar** attacked her, but Leafshine had alerted Blizzardsnow, and a fight between the cats began. More warriors started coming, turning the fight into a battle. **Leopardroar**'s cheek scar was reopened by Leafshine. Shadowclan lost the battle and control of Thunderclan territory.

Leopardroar came back from camp with Orchidpaw after the battle, meeting Peachpaw.

Leo then battle-trained Peachpaw.
