## Personality

She is confident, brave, and fiercely loyal. She is quite the risk-taker, and will do absolutely anything if she thinks it will benefit her or her Clan - which sometimes leads to unfortunate occurrences. She is also stubborn, bossy, and somewhat of a bully. She is quick to judge cats, disrespectful, and looks down on most - but she is actually quite clever. Impulsive, yes, but she is also very quick-thinking. If you get on her good side, she actually has a pretty good sense of humor, though it can be pretty dark and/or rough, having the potential to make cats uncomfortable.

## Appearance

Cascadebreeze is a pale gray-brown classic tabby she-cat with about 50% white markings. She is lean and angular, with strong legs. Due to part of her face being white, she has one golden eye and one blue eye. She has a triangular head and a narrow muzzle, as well as long limbs and tail and large, tufted ears. Slightly smaller than average.

## History

#### Kithood

Born with the name Maya to a loner named Lynn, she had three siblings: Chirp, Desert and Chickadee. It should be noted that Maya absolutely despised her name, by the way. She'd apparently been named after Lynn's aunt, but she didn't care on bit about that.

When she was less than a moon old, though, Maya witnessed the death of Chirp, who caught a fatal illness. Maya was also quite sickly from then on.

At four moons old, Maya decided to go tree climbing with Chickadee on RiverClan territory (not that she actually knew it was RiverClan territory at the time), in Willow Bay. They climbed up a tree, and Chickadee scrambled out to the edge of a branch. Well, some random hawk decided she looked very tasty, and it swooped right down and scooped up the poor kit. Now Maya bolted right out to try and save her sister, down the tree and deeper into RiverClan's territory. At which point the hawk decided to drop Chickadee, who was alive as of that point but unfortunately died on impact.

Lynn surprisingly didn't flip out when she heard the news, but instead decided to pack up her things and move elsewhere.

Along the way, a fox showed up. As five-moon-old kits, Maya and Desert couldn't run really fast. So Lynn picked up Desert, the less sickly of the kits, in hopes of preserving one of her children. You can probably imagine what *that* did to Maya's self-esteem. However a few moments later she showed up again, wounded from a fox attack and without Desert, who'd been an unfortunate casualty.

So at this point Lynn was like 'oh, I'm a terrible parent, all my kids are dying', and so she dumped six-moon-old Cascadepaw on the RiverClan border and ran off. That happened. And then Maya decided that this would *not* do, so she marched right to RiverClan camp, much to the surprise of the cats there. She was let into the Clan, though, surprisingly enough. And she told them her name was Cascade, because she wasn't familiar with the concept of warrior names and *no barking way* was she going by Maya if she could help it.

#### Apprenticeship

Cascadepaw never actually got a mentor IRP, so we're not going to mention that.

She got into an argument with Koipaw once over who knows what. That's literally all I remember from her apprenticeship.

#### Warrior Life

Cascadebreeze received her warrior name for her agility.

Hornetflame told her she needed friends. Cascadebreeze adamantly denied that.

She got into a few arguments with Waspsnow, which she absolutely won. But then Waspsnow was like 'you wanna go lay in the sun?' and Cascadebreeze was like 'what-' and then suddenly they were friends. Who knew.

Hornetflame died, not that Cascadebreeze really cared.

Then Cascadebreeze was hunting a chickadee in a tree in Willow Bay (oh, the irony) when the branch underneath her cracked. Cascadebreeze tried to turn and flee, but it snapped, sending her plummeting in a fatal fall. The branch landed on top of her, crushing her midsection. Hornetflame's ghost dragged her near camp, where Waspsnow found her. Cascadebreeze managed a few last words and then died.
