- To Dovepaw after hearing about her crush on Moonpaw

**Cinderglow** is a supporting character and ShadowClan warrior in Tales of Perfectheart. Her main role is served as Dovestrike's mentor/love coach. She is also dating Eveningcloud.

## Appearance

Cinderglow is a short, fluffy, purplish-gray she-cat with purple eyes and long eyelashes. She has a mask of darker fur around her eyes as well as darker fur on her ears and paws. She also has thick tufts of fur on her cheeks and in her ears.

## Personality

    Cinderglow is a friendly, laid-back cat. She cares deeply for Dovestrike and has supported her throughout her apprenticeship and gives her advice on both her love life and more important matters. However, she does not seem to care much about mentoring and has been shown to have a strong dislike of small kits.

## History

### Chapter 43

Cinderglow makes her debut by waking up Dovepaw, her apprentice, and asking her if she remembers what she's doing today. Dovepaw recalls that they're doing something different than usual, and panics for a moment as she asks if it's her warrior assessment. Cinderglow assures her that the assessment isn't until next week and Dovepaw calms down. She announces that Dovepaw's going to be expanding the apprentice's den. Dovepaw observes that it's already big enough. Cinderglow replies that she's the only apprentice right now. She then asks if she's seen the nursery, and comments with a shudder that it's like "trying to swim in a lake of kits." She informs Dovepaw that she volunteered her to lead an army of kittens to help because they will all be apprentices soon and should help build their new home, and wishes her good luck. Dovepaw asks why Cinderglow can't help her, but replies that she has a date with her girlfriend Eveningcloud and also hates children. Dovepaw starts to freak out again, admitting that she doesn't even know how to build a den and doesn't want to go into the nursery alone. Cinderglow reassures her by promising to ask Stalkleaf and her team to help Dovepaw build, and saying that they are only kits.

### Chapter 47

Cinderglow is shown with her Eveningcloud as ShadowClan arrives at the Gathering. She comments on the 'hot SkyClan she-cats,' to which Eveningcloud jokingly replies that if she catches her flirting it's over. Later, after the Gathering is dismissed, Cinderglow startles Dovepaw by patting her shoulder. She quickly explains that they're there to help her, and after a confused reply from Dovepaw, elaborates that Stalkleaf told her about her crush on Moonpaw. She vows to help her "get her fancy RiverClan girlfriend."

### Chapter 50

Cinderglow and Eveningcloud are shown lying together discussing kits. Cinderglow tells Eveningcloud that "I know you want kits but they aren't really my thing." Eveningcloud replies that she knows that and that she will be the one staying in the nursery. Cinderglow tells her that if she wants she will steal some kits from a rouge or loner for them to raise. It has been confirmed by 9rainbowtails that those kits will be Mantissong and Magpieswoop.

### Chapter 53

Cinderglow returns a few chapters later. We see her giving Dovepaw advice for confessing to Moonpaw, commenting that her hair looks perfect and explains that she needs to work on her expression. Dovepaw is unsure, but Cinderglow replies that she's the love expert and her mentor and she has to do what she says. She walks Dovepaw through a few steps and asks if she can blush on command, which she does. Cinderglow bids her good luck and tells her to follow her advice. She says she has things she needs to do and tells Dovepaw that she's proud of her while wiping away a tear. They exchange goodbyes and Cinderglow tells her to have fun and don't mess this up, explaining that she got her off the dusk patrol for this. Dovepaw heads off to meet Moonpaw.

### Chapter 57

Cinderglow makes another appearance in chapter 57 consoling Dovepaw because of what had happened with Moonpaw The other day. She tells her not to be so mopey and to focus because it's time for her warrior assessment. When Dovepaw tries to object, Cinderglow cuts her off and states that it was no big deal that Moonpaw friendzoned her. She continues that it's just part of life, and you should either move on or pursue it harder, adding that she certainly didn't get Eveningcloud by giving up. She tells Dovepaw to take her mind off of Moonpaw to focus on her assessment, and come back to it once she's given her head a break. This reassures Dovepaw for the time being. Cinderglow states that they're starting with the battle segment. Later, upon evaluating Dovepaw, she tells her that she passed 'with flying colors', and adds that even if she didn't she'd pass her because she was 'very done with mentorship'. She then drags her over to get her warrior name. Cinderglow is seen beaming in the crowd at Dovepaw's ceremony as she receives the name Dovestrike.

## Relationships

### Dovestrike

For example, before Dovestrike confessed to Moonfall she helped her get her expression just right and made sure to tell her not to mess up her hair.

However, Cinderglow did not seem to care much about mentoring Dovestrike. In chapter 43, when Dovestrike was still her apprentice, she left her on her own with the kits to expand the apprentice's den, going out with Eveningcloud instead of helping. She also remarked before Dovestrike's warriors apprentice that even if Dovestrike had failed she would have pretended that she passed because "I am very done with mentorship. Time to go get you warrior name."
