Cat of Clouds

**The Cat of Clouds** or the **Ancient Seer** was the first seer to ever be blessed with visions from the stars. The passage of time has tangled their story into rumors and lies, making it impossible to know who or what they really are. What is known is that they are an incredibly powerful being, one who isn't to be trifled with.

## Description

The Cat of Clouds is a tall white cat whose fur is made of clouds. They have empty jet-black eyes. They're capable of moving like a group of clouds and can vanish into thin air at a moments notice. When upset, their fur turns a stormy gray and flashes of lightning jump between their coat.

## Personality

The Cat of Clouds is very protective of the other seers to the point they will attempt to kill any cat they see as a threat to the current seer, as seen with their attack on Peatpaw. They have a strong hatred of StarClan which they have made known multiple times, never speaking of them positively once. After their initial encounter with Mossypaw, their voice has grown softer and they speak to Mossypaw in a motherly tone, protecting her as if she were their own kit.

The Cat of Clouds has been hurt in the past and doesn't wish for the same to happen to Mossypaw. No matter what they have to do, they will make sure Mossypaw chooses the right path, one that other cats cannot follow.

## History

### Section Two: The First Leafbare

Mossypaw receives a vision about a terrible blizzard hitting the Clan, destroying the nursery and apprentices' den, killing all inside. She stumbles to the healer's den where she finds that the pool inside has frozen over. She looks in the the pool and sees a cat with a pelt made of clouds. Claws suddenly break through the ice and drag her into the frozen depths. The white cat laughs and tells her only to worry about herself, as no matter what she did all the cats would die eventually.

Peatpaw, unable to sleep, is wide awake when she notices a white cat leading Mossypaw out of the healer's den. Thinking it was just a hallucination, she walks up to the cat and paws at them, only to find that she could feel their fur. Peatpaw is struck across the head and torn to shreds by the Cat of Clouds until they suddenly vanish. In just a short period of time Peatpaw is left with terrible injuries that make it hard for her to stand on her own for a while.

Mossypaw is greeted by the same cat made of clouds as she is walking out of the nursery. The cat tells her that seers have lived notoriously short lives due to the visions they received, bringing them to a grim end. They tell Mossypaw to choose her own fate and to not let her Clanmates use her. Mossypaw asks why they attacked Peatpaw and they say they were doing it to protect her, deeming Peatpaw a threat. They introduce themselves and apologize for hurting Mossypaw in the vision of the blizzard. They offer Mossypaw their help and Mossypaw decided to accept.

### Section Three: The Thaw

The Cat of Clouds tells Mossypaw to focus on what was going on around her, and to listen to what the leaders had to say. They tell them that relationships between healers come naturally and to not fret about making friends with them just yet. Mossypaw doesn't enjoy the way they worded their advice, but she follows it.

### Section Four: The Crimson Coat

The Cat of Clouds appears in the healer's den pool as Mossypaw is washing moss for their patients. They say the forest is littered with the body of sparrows and to watch the trees for their killers. Mossypaw then receives a vision of a crimson sky filled with dense storm clouds. Thunder roars in the distance and cold rain pours into the den. A tree cracks and buckles, falling right into the heart of RigidClan camp, killing a sparrow.

## Relationships

### Mossypaw

The Cat of Clouds is glad that Mossypaw was chosen as the next seer. They see her as incredibly intelligent and therefore know not to speak down to her. They fear she may travel down the wrong road due to the lingering presence of StarClan, and so they constantly keep watch of her, making sure she knows what the right way of the seer is.
