### Snowthistle

*"She feared that he only saw her as a child who happened to know the way to his only goal.

-Twinkle about Snowthistle after learning he'd been accepted into the clan.

The two are introduced as close friends, and have hinted history together upon their first meeting in the two-leg place that Twinkle had helped him live in. Upon hearing of the Clan not far from where she was living, Twinkle takes up the role as a guide for her friend, to lead him to the territory and help him with whatever he may need. The two's bond is close due to the two constantly thinking of one another, fretting for the other's safety and comfort while they go about other interactions. Twinkle is later heart-broken upon learning the news that Snowthistle will join the clan, whole-heartedly believing he'd abandoned her. The two share a conversation where she shows hostility, before he later catches up with her just outside clan territory, and the two share a final conversation, where Snowthistle attempts to make reason despite Twinkle being hysterical.

## Interests

*Likes*

As said before, she’s a kittypet, and doesn’t know much, or have many skills. She is a bad hunter, not a very good fighter, and doesn’t have tunneling abilities known to other wild cats. She is loud, and can be considered bossy or controlling. While she shows ability of being a wild cat, it would have to be after she was trained either by another, or by herself. She’s jumpy and easily spooked.

*Dislikes*

● loud, abrupt noise ● yelling from twolegs ● chickens. don't ask ● dogs ● rude remarks ● the freezing night of winter ● the beating heat of summer ● spiny plants that her twolegs keep in little pots ● hot grass on her paws ● water ●

## Skills/Faults

*Skills*

Twinkle is a kittypet, and therefore, has fees strengths outside of a couple genetic ones. She was raised on the easy life, so isn’t known to be a good hunter or fighter, or anything similar. She is, however, a very kind soul, and has a heightened ability to show empathy towards others. She also is quite swift and intelligent for a kittypet, and seems to understand many things that others do not. She’s very curious, and shows a keen interest in anything wild or different from her own life.

*Faults*

She is loud, and can be considered bossy or controlling. While she shows ability of being a wild cat, it would have to be after she was trained either by another, or by herself. She’s jumpy and easily spooked.

## Personality

Twinkle is an energetic, and a humorous soul with a kind way of speaking. She has a light/hearted tone and often is one to be positive and empathetic, seeming like an easy person to talk to. She has an abnormal sense of curiosity towards anything she’s not used to, including the wilds and the cats that live in them. This is one of the reasons she decided to bring Snowthistle to the Festival of Springtide. She has a fascination for wild cats, and always wished to meet one, especially if it could connect her to meet her father. This can make her jumpy and excited towards any mention of them, which can easily get obnoxious. She’s learned to keep it somewhat under control, though it sometimes escapes her to keep it under control. When faced with difficult decisions, she can have trouble staying with one idea, and may go back and forth between all of the possible decisions, making her slow when she needs to be fast.

## Detailed History

*Dawnstar's Reign*

Twinkle is first introduced during the beginning of the Festival of the Springtide during moon one, following alongside her friend Snowthistle as the two prepare to meet the clan. The two are present for her greeting ceremony held for Tourists to welcome them to the feast as well as to the territory, and Twinkle is enthralled like many other Tourists. Twinkle is left on her own for a portion of the Festival when Snowthistle finds himself in scouting with Dawnstar, later to be invited to join the clan as a temporary apprentice. Snowthistle is worried about his friend and thinks of her often, consistently hoping the best for her while he's away. Twinkle meets Peachpurr, the physical medicine cat during this time. She makes it clear she isn't very interested in joining the clan, and she indicates that her two-legs usually don't let her travel far. She seems quite playful, kind, and overall a supportive friend from her first interactions. When on his way back into camp to meet Skyrose, Snowthistle attempts to greet his friend, though she doesn't seem to be aware of his presence. She eats upon being offered prey by Peachpurr, but grows ill at the idea of eating dead animals. The two later return for the meeting called by Dawnstar.

Twinkle is devastated at the news shared by Dawnstar about Snowthistle officially joining the clan. She flees into the territory and the two talk, with Twinkle showing aggression towards her friend at believing she was abandoned. Snowthistle insists he hasn't forgotten her and has been hoping she would also join the clan, but she doesn't seem taken in by the idea. She runs away without replying to his last words, ending up stranded in the Dandelion Pasture, lost and alone.

Snowthistle comes to find her there, and the two share another interaction.

## Detailed Appearance

Like her mother, Twinkle is a stunningly gorgeous cat with crystal-clean, well groomed fur that seems to glisten in the sunlight. She has two large patches on the outer sides of both her eyes, her right is a dark ginger, and her left is a dark greyish brown. She has a diamond mark on her muzzle to the right side of her nose that’s a dark grayish brown, and a spot on the other side of her muzzle that’s the same color. The bottom of her muzzle and the top part of her neck are a dark ginger like one of her eye patches, and her underfur near her neck seems to be tinged with the same color. The rest of her fur is pure white, with the exception of her two front paws being brown. She has two, sharp amber eyes that can pierce through any cat she sees.

## Backstory

Twinkle was born to a kittypet named Cally, who was a strikingly beautiful cat. Her father was unknown to her. All she remember her mother saying was that he was a wild cat, a dangerous father. Soon after birth, she was taken away from her mother to be sold to another family, known as the Ashton’s, though she didn’t know their name during her life. The family had two young ones, both who loved Twinkle dearly and gave her lots of good pets. Twinkle is still young, and as such, hasn’t been taken to the cutter yet. Near the age of 13 moons, a stranger arrived in the area, and Twinkle being the cat she is, immediately introduced herself. The stranger’s name was Snowthistle, and Twinkle realized quickly he wasn’t from the area, because of both his name and imbued many questions about where he was. She explained everything she could about the area and all of its charms, including the Festival of Springtide, who Snowthistle was interested in. Twinkle excitedly brought up the idea of going, which Snowthistle eagerly agreed to.

## Trivia

* She currently has a pale blue collar around her neck, that she often speaks her disliking of.

## Quotes

*"She feared that he only saw her as a child who happened to know the way to his only goal.

-Twinkle and her thoughts on Snowthistle after she's learned he'll be joining the clan permanently.

*"Twinkle had been preparing a mental story she would pour to him, explaining all the disgusting and odd things she had seen and heard, starting with the prey. Maybe even say the good things, like her discussion with Peachpurr and the beauty of camp… but she probably wouldn’t have. She didn’t want to persuade him to stay here, after all. But that plan had crumbled, as soon as she heard the words ‘temporary apprentice’. She didn’t know what the term meant really, but once others piped in with their annoyance at him joining the clan, she had realized that nothing could be done. He was gone and had even decided without a word to her. Without an ask of her opinion, no warning, not even a goodbye. He had forgotten her existence entirely and ran off with his new friends. His stronger friends. His cooler friends."*

-Twinkle's thoughts on Snowthistle.

*"Welcome to the stretch, Snowthistle. Have you decided I may be good enough for your powerful words after all...Have you come to see your pitiful, forgotten excuse for a friend?"*

-Twinkle to Snowthistle.

*"You’re not-...no. You’re right. I forgot you, Twinkle, because.. a lot happened in the span of a day. So much that I was excited to tell you, that I didn’t consider your feelings or how it would look. But I didn’t forget you, forget you. I thought about you all throughout the day. I felt guilty for.. for not discussing what was about to happen, m-my joining the Clan. It moved all so fast. I’m sorry. Genuinely."*

-Snowthistle to Twinkle about him joining the clan.

*"But the rest of them didn’t matter. To her, they sounded like excuses. He had an amazing time, it was what he wanted, he hadn’t been forced into his decision. It was now that she realized he had planned this all along. This was his intention, his want. He didn’t want to meet a new friend, or even explore a new area. Twinkle was only his guide, the path on his new adventure. They were never meant to be true friends, not even acquaintances. If only she had known that before."*

-Twinkle's thoughts on Snowthistle's apology.

*"It’s fine, it’s fine. Go back to your new friends. I’m sure they would love to get to know you some more. I’ll just head home. No worries. I was only here as a guide, after all. You’re free on your own now...You don’t need me, you never really did."*

-Twinkle to Snowthistle.

*"What can I do for you, Snowthistle? Have you come to tell me grand stories of clan life? Or perhaps due your duty and see me off the territory?"*

-Twinkle when Snowthistle comes to find her after she ran from the territory.
