Songbreeze

**Songbreeze** is a lithe gray she-cat with blue eyes.

## History

Songkit is born to Crowflower and Swiftjaw, along with her brother Stonekit. The two grow up as shy kits, and quietly keep to themselves in the nursery.
Songpaw is apprenticed to Heathercloud, and her brother to Aspenstep. They are met with another apprentice, Russetpaw, whom is Swiftstar's daughter. Because of this, Russetpaw is given special attention by the older warriors, and her training is closely monitored by the WindClan leader himself. Songpaw begins to find Russetpaw annoying, and clashes with her frequently. Blackdove chastises her for doing so and tells her that she should never be on the bad side of the leader's blood.
The senior warriors begin to pit Songpaw and Russetpaw against each other, and make their training very competitive. Russetpaw accepts the competition, and thinks of herself as a stronger cat than Songpaw anyways. Songpaw feels as if she shouldn't have to prove herself to practical strangers in order to deem herself worthy of their praise, and resents Russetpaw for competing with her.
As an apprentice, Songpaw had always felt distant from her Clanmates, and had trouble fitting in with the other young cats. She meets Dapplepaw at a Gathering, and intently listens to all the stories about RiverClan cats. Dapplepaw and Songpaw become friends before the Gathering is finished, and Dapplepaw suggests that they meet by the lake in four moonhighs to talk again.
Songpaw and Dapplepaw make a routine from this, and start meeting on the fourth moonhigh after every Gathering. They become quite close, and Songpaw learns to swim. When the cats become increasingly aware of their imminent graduation into warriorhood, they come to a mutual understanding that they cannot keep meeting into their adult life. Songpaw, saddened, vows to Dapplepaw that if she were to ever need her, she would be by her side. The cats part, and do not see each other again for many seasons.
Songpaw is made to be a full warrior, and is given the name Songbreeze. Her brother is named Stonemist. She keeps to herself, still feeling that sensation of emptiness among the rest of her clanmates.
Stonemist quickly gains affections for another young warrior, Dovewillow. Songbreeze is annoyed, and tells him that she is too pretty to meddle with a tom like him. Despite her words, Stonemist persists on pursuing the she-cat but is often met with resistance. Songbreeze tells him to give up the chase before he gets hurt.
When conflicts start arising in the forest, Songbreeze is made painfully aware of what Dapplestar is up to. She misses her friend, and internally takes her side among all the unrest. At a Gathering, Dapplestar declares war on ShadowClan, and Songbreeze feels that it was the right decision. Before leaving, she manages to catch Dapplestar's eye, and they share a glance that they have not shared in moons. The glance tells her that Dapplestar equally misses their time together as much as she does.
Songbreeze decides to go to their old meeting spot four moonhighs after the Gathering, and finds Dapplestar already waiting for her. They embrace, and Songbreeze expresses that she is on Dapplestar's side. The RiverClan leader reminds her of the promise they had made when they were apprentices, and asks Songbreeze to try and get internal information from WindClan that might prove useful. Songbreeze, already feeling little loyalty towards her home, agrees to do so.
In the moon following, Songbreeze begins to start picking WindClan apart from the inside. She goes for a walk with Harewhisker, in an attempt to seduce him. She is impressed at how quickly the deputy falls into her ploy, and he seems smitten with her by the time they reach the lake. Songbreeze wades into the water for a swim, having been taught by Dapplestar as an apprentice. Harewhisker follows her, but ends up almost drowning. Songbreeze hauls him back to the shore and assists him back to camp, and is thanked by Harewhisker afterwards. Internally, Songbreeze is impressed with herself for getting onto the deputy's good side so quickly.
Songbreeze notices the peculiar relationship between Hotaru and Iceheart, and decides that it would be a good idea to begin there. While alone with Hotaru out on patrol, Songbreeze attempts to disrupt his feelings towards Iceheart and inflict doubt about her affections. While doing this, Songbreeze realizes that she cannot hold her polite facade around Iceheart, and avoids her for the time being.
When ThunderClan is stricken with illness, Russetstripe and Sedgefall depart from WindClan to help their sick cats. Songbreeze is thankful that Russetstripe is gone, and uses the time to try and fill her place as one of the dependable warriors around camp.
The next moon, Songbreeze meets with Dapplestar again as promised. She shares with her some of the interesting things she had found out, and explains some of the plans she has for the future. Dapplestar is impressed, and reminds her that she will always have a home in RiverClan if this were to go awry. Dapplestar brings up the idea of moving to RiverClan, but Songbreeze insists that it is too dangerous to do until after the war is over. Dapplestar agrees, and says to keep up the good work. The cats then return to their home Clans.
Songbreeze begins to grow anxious about her progress in WindClan. With Russetstripe and Sedgefall being gone, Songbreeze acknowledges that she has more room to spread rumors about her Clanmates. She decides to start with Cricketbriar, and approaches the tom timidly. She tells him that she saw something interesting while out on patrol, and hadn't wanted to share it with anyone until now. Cricketbriar is concerned, and asks her to tell him more. Songbreeze tells the warrior that she had seen Redmoon at the RiverClan border speaking with two warriors that she did not recognize. Cricketbriar is shocked, and asks Songbreeze if she is sure that it was Redmoon. Songbreeze insists that she is sure, and that she does not know what to do.
Following the conversation, Songbreeze sees Cricketbriar approach his sister - Eelpool. She sees the tom quietly chatting with her, and assumes that he must be discussing the recent news about Redmoon. Pleased with herself, Songbreeze exits camp to hunt.
Songbreeze continues to meet with Dapplestar in the following moons, unbeknownst to her Clanmates. One night, Dapplestar informs her of a plan that she has to set fire to WindClan's territory. Songbreeze is shocked, but Dapplestar assures her that no harm will come to her. She tells her that she will send one of her apprentices to collect her and lead her away from the territory before the flames engulf it. Dapplestar says that this will happen in three nights' time, and that Songbreeze should be ready to quietly sneak away from camp during that night. Songbreeze agrees to the plan, and feels a rush of adrenaline pump through her veins at the thought of the scheme. Before Dapplestar returns to RiverClan, she reminds Songbreeze that everything will fall into its rightful place.
Three nights after the meeting, Songbreeze slips away from camp during moonhigh. On the moor, she sees a smaller cat waiting for her. The cat quickly introduces herself as Icepaw, and instructs Songbreeze to follow her. Songbreeze quickly gains a respect for Icepaw, since Dapplestar herself must hold her in high regard. Once near the border, Songbreeze finds RiverClan cats concealing themselves in the undergrowth. Dapplestar then collects her, and instructs her to stay hidden as they complete their mission. Songbreeze watches them as they sneak away towards her camp, and tries her best to push away any remaining thoughts of remorse for them.
As the fire begins to rage, Songbreeze hears the distant yowls of surprise by her Clanmates. She feels a pang of worry for her brother, Stonemist, and hopes that he can at least avoid the flames. After some, Icepaw emerges from the undergrowth and instructs Songbreeze to return to camp. She says that she will pretend to skirmish with her at the entrance, to show to her Clanmates that she was fighting for them. Songbreeze follows the apprentice back to camp and does as she says.
After the fire subsides, Scorchstar addresses his Clan. Songbreeze sits alongside Stonemist and Eelpool, and holds her leader's gaze without fear. With her heart still burning with her allegiance to Dapplestar, she assists WindClan with rebuilding the damages.
## Personality

Songbreeze has a dual-personality. Her outward appearance is bright and cheery, always making it a point to be friendly to all the cats she interacts with. She can easily put on a charming facade, using compliments to instill false confidence into them. Internally, she is judgmental and conniving. She uses her looks and charm to analyze the cats she speaks to, and makes mental note of their insecurities or weaknesses. She is ruthless in battle, and when no one is watching, will try and leave scars on her opponents. She is not the type to follow rules, but follows them enough to where those in authority do not suspect her of being rebellious.

## Quotes

"*There is a cat you must protect in WindClan, with your life if need be. Her name is Songbreeze. She is a gray cat, who has been loyal to me all her life. Surely you of all cats know the meaning of loyalty. She is not associated with the treachery that is WindClan, and so she deserves to live. Find her and bring her back here, even if you have to fight all of WindClan to do it.*"
—Dapplestar to Icepaw about Songbreeze

"*Songbreeze. In three days' time my warriors and I will raze WindClan territory to the ground. Surely you have seen me ask Scorchstar for his territory to unite the Clans, and his stubborn refusal. I have warned him one too many times, and I am keeping my promise for what I would do if he continued to deny me the right. However, I do not want you to be harmed, as I once promised you that you would always have my protection. That has not changed. You are a loyal and dependable cat, and you do not deserve to be hurt because of Scorchstar's actions. I will send my secret weapon to retrieve you, and she will bring you to safety. She will shelter you while WindClan burns. Then, it is up to you what you want to do. You will always have a home in RiverClan, or you can return to WindClan. I will not judge you for what you choose, but remember - you will always be my ally, regardless of what you pick.*"
—Dapplestar to Songbreeze

"*I cannot lie to you. I am not staying in WindClan. It has been my intention to leave these borders for moons, and I just cannot stay within these borders any longer. Stonemist, you have been the only reason that I had any shred of doubt before doing this. I will ask you once, and if you decline then I will not try and convince you again: Would you follow me to RiverClan?*"
