### Physical Description

Dreamriver is a slightly long-furred cream cat with large russet splashes all over her body. She has gray eyes and is slightly taller than the average cat.

### Personality

Dreamriver is a very soft-spoken and secluded cat. She has few friends and prefers to be left alone a lot of the time. She is very nice when you do speak to her, though she often seems to be in a state of constantly being spaced out even when she is talking. She seems more down-to-earth if she cares more about you than she does for everyone else though.

### Life

#### Kithood

Dreamriver was born a loner. Her family died when she was barely a moon old due to a mix of sickness and a fox attack. Sick and tired, she wandered to the ShadowClan border and fell asleep. She woke up in ShadowClan's medicine cat den, where she was questioned about who she was and where her parents were. She said her name was Dream and that her family was dead. They then formally adopted her into the clan, naming her Dreamkit.

Dreamkit was taken care of collectively by all the current queens until she became and apprentice. However, she didn't really get close to any of them, feeling that because she hadn't been born in the clan that she didn't belong. She had a small crush on Stormkit, though she knew he didn't return the feelings, so the crush had dissolved by the time she'd become an apprentice. She started to develop a bit of depression right before she became an apprentice.

#### Apprenticeship

When she was apprenticed, her name changed to Dreampaw per clan tradition. She trained as a warrior alongside her den-mates, but still never really befriended any of them because she felt she couldn't connect with them. She was good at training, but lacked a certain passion that the clan-born apprentices had that made her feel like she was lagging. However she was made a warrior the same time as the other apprentices her age, earning the name Dreamriver.

#### Adult Life

After becoming a full warrior, Dreamriver dived deeper into her depression, feeling more alone than ever. However, her life started to change for the better when she talked to Stormstep for the first time, really just talked. He became her first true friend in the clans, and they went hunting for frogs together.

Dreamriver and Stormstep hung out together often after that. Her crush on him started to rekindle itself as they became best friends. After a couple moons of friendship, Stormstep asked her to be his mate. She said yes.

After a couple of moons for the happiest time of her life, she had kits. Four of them, named Frogkit, Peachkit, Swankit, and Rainkit. Sadly, Dreamriver missed most of her kit's youth as she became sick with Heartworm Disease. She was sick for several moons and missed her kit's apprenticeship ceremonies and missed their warrior ceremonies. She was very upset about this and started to develop depression again. She felt guilty for missing out on her kit's childhoods and secluded herself from them, thinking that they would not want her in the lives that she'd already been so absent in. She mostly still only hung out with Stormstep. She felt really guilty when some of her kits died and when Peachskip broke up with Heatbranch. She tried to reach out to her daughter to comfort her, but it didn't do much good.

Eventually Dreamriver and Stormstep had another litter of kits, something she was nervous about because she was worried about not being able to raise these kits either. During a particular moment of anxiety, she started small talk with a warrior who'd brought her dinner, named Mousepelt. This made Dreamriver feel more relaxed than she had been for a while. It didn't last long though as Peachskip died. She named on of the two kits in her new litter after her, named Skipkit. The other one was named Fogkit. She also came to know one of her granddaughters, Hazelblossom better, becoming distantly affectionate with her. She was much more involved with her kits lives this time, answering Fogkit's questions and playing with Skipkit.

She was so proud when her kits became apprentices, celebrating with Stormstep in the way they always had, by hunting and sharing frogs. Her happiness didn't last forever, however, as foxes had been scented in the territory. She was sent out on a patrol with Stormstep to see where they were so that they could later bring a patrol to drive them out. However, they were caught unawares by the foxes they had been tracking and attacked. Injured, they fled back to the camp. They died in the middle of camp because the medicine cats could not get there in time.
