Broken

### Siblings

Sorrow (sister), Shatter (brother, dead), Moon & Emberglow (half-sisters), Abyss (half-brother, dead)

Broken is the fiercer, more aggressive one of her litter. She definitely takes after Hazel, with all of Hazel's early ferocity but unfortunately lacking in snark or a sense of humor. Not that she minds, of course. Broken has dubbed herself the family's protector and is willing to do whatever it takes to keep her mother and sister safe.

## Appearance & Personality

### Appearance

   Broken is the biggest of her litter, standing at 7.9 inches tall and possessing a lean but muscular build. She proudly sports a handful of scars from fights she’s gotten herself into over the moons, the one she’s most proud of being the one directly across the bridge of her nose. Her fur is mostly the same gingery-brown as Hazel’s, with a large patch of black across her shoulder and some of her back. Most of her head and tail are the same black, with white on her chin, tail tip, and a bit under her eye. She also has white toes and a few small white spots on her forehead. Her ear tips are also white and, much like her littermate Sorrow, her pelt is dusted with patches of white speckles. She has narrow green eyes. Of all of Hazel’s kits over the years, Broken is the one who looks the most like her.

### Personality

Broken is a fight and she has been since the day she was born. She’s never one to back down from a fight, often even going out of her way to start them. She will fiercely defend her family’s honor from any perceived threats. She is hot-headed and temperamental. She is very blunt and doesn’t really know how to express her feelings. Of course, not everything about her is bad. She loves her mother and sister in her own way and is very loyal. She is brave, maybe even fearless, and relentless in what she believes in.

## Background

### Kithood

Broken was born in late February in a park in the city. She had two siblings, a sister named Sorrow and a brother named Shatter. Their father, Meiji, had died just a few days before their birth, hence the depressing names given to them.

Broken was what one might call a problem child. She was aggressive from the moment she could walk, competitive, and learned quickly how to fight. She was her mother in miniature, picking fights whenever she could. Broken was crafty, though, and figured out the fine art of justification. Most of it was lying to Hazel after the fact, but yeah. Hazel didn't like her daughter getting into fights. To Hazel, it was a reflection of all her failures both as a person and as a parent that Broken was going out and getting into scraps around the neighborhood. To Broken? A fun night out.

She did love her family though - Shatter was always good for a play-fight and Sorrow was shyer, but usually willing to cover for her with their mom. Broken loved her mom too, but got frustrated whenever Hazel told her to not fight. You know, like it wasn't her own fault that Broken had battle in her blood and was destined for this before she was even born. Meiji had been peace and Hazel was lucky that two of her kits had gotten his side but Hazel was war and that's what Broken came from. Other than being mean to the local kittypets, Broken's life was quiet.

When she was five moons old, her brother Shatter got sick. Very sick. Hazel tried her best to save him, but Shatter died. Broken was sad about the loss of her brother, but her mother and sister were completely devastated by Shatter's loss. Broken just channeled her sadness into anger and went out to beat up more kittypets. It didn't make her feel any better and she lost most of the fights, leaving her scarred, but she didn't care.

After Hazel got attacked and half-blinded by a rogue, she took Broken and Sorrow away from the city. Broken couldn't have been more happy to leave. She got had gotten bored of the TLP life and without her brother, there were only bad memories left for her.

They arrived at the heather patch when Broken was 7 moons old. Broken was incredibly bored almost immediately. Nearly a moon and a half of traveling and they had ended up in the most boring biome, a moor. Trying to keep herself busy and with a distinct lack of kittypets to fight, Broken tried to teach herself how to hunt on the unfamiliar terrain. She also fought off the few rogues and loners that passed by the heather, anything she deemed a threat.

When she was eight moons old, a pair of Clan cats came by the heather. Broken tried to attack them, but Hazel told her not to. Broken slunk away grumbling while Hazel talked to the cats, Rillwing and Firsong. They said something about another cat and his daughter who were living in the Clans, which for some reason seemed to upset Hazel. She told them to tell that cat to meet her at "their usual spot". Ultimately, the cats left without a fight and Broken was unreasonably upset about this. The only thing that made matters worse was that Hazel refused to explain any of it, even to Sorrow. What had happened with this other cat? What had Hazel so on edge?

A little later that moon, while hunting, she came across a kit named Raccoon. Raccoon told her that she couldn't hunt in that area because it was his and Broken responded essentially with "Yeah, right, squirt, move along. I hunt wherever I darn well please." Raccoon refused to give it up and taunted her a bit. Because Broken has no chill, she attacked him. She didn't realize how badly she'd hurt him until she managed to stumble away, but it was too late. She had accidentally killed him. Broken freaked out a bit and washed herself in a stream thoroughly before heading home. She did her best to pretend the incident never happened.

### Trivia

* Broken is what you'd get if you tossed Moon and Hazel's personalities in a blender and added some extra spice ~~(and like a dash of masochism)~~
* Broken will not like Emberglow. She just won't. On the off chance that she ever gets to meet her, of course.
* Let's be clear: Broken isn't necessarily *good* at fighting, she just likes it. She doesn't actually win fights very often and if she went against someone competent she would lose
* If she were in the original Clans, Broken would probably be responsible for at least two major battles at this point.
* Broken and Sorrow were born on a leap day
* Broken's favorite food is squirrel
