Quietrunner

## General Info

### Appearance

Quietrunner was a tall, lean and fairly attractive she-cat with dusty-colored fur, darker markings on her face leading to a stripe on her back and a darker tail, and darker legs from the shoulder and thigh down. Her toes, tail-tip, muzzle, and a spot on her chest were a cream color. The marking on her face was shaped like an hourglass, and she had beautiful, narrow amber eyes.

### Personality

Quietrunner is a stoic, serious but lenient she-cat with a tendency to lash out when irritated. She's good with children, surprisingly, and is pretty introverted and likes solitude.

## Backstory

### Kithood

Quietkit was born to Sandyleap and Moonflight with her sister Jasminekit. She lived a fairly average, some would say boring life. She had good parents, and was taught well, though seemed to lack empathy as she got older. This concerned her parents a bit, but they didn't bother and Quietkit and Jasminekit became apprentices quickly.

### Apprenticeship

Quietpaw recieved a gentle, caring and motherly warrior for a mentor called Ploverwing. She was the one to teach Quietpaw about empathy, kindness, manners, and other things. Quietpaw got better about that, but was still pretty quiet and introverted as an apprentice.

When she was nine moons old, her sister Jasminepaw was diagnosed with a strange illness causing her immune system to get weaker and for her to get anemia. She sometimes experienced fatigue during joint training sessions, and this concerned Quietpaw and her parents a lot, as well as both mentors. Thankfully though, both apprentices made it to be warriors, though Jasminepaw was getting weaker.

### Warrior Life

Quietpaw, now named Quietrunner from her amazing talent at stealth and her lean frame was made a warrior alongside her sister Jasminepaw, now Jasminesplash. They just did their duties for a bit, nothing really interesting happening.

When Quietrunner was fifteen moons old, Jasminesplash fell fatally ill. Quietrunner spent the whole night with her, until Jasminesplash passed away in her paws. Quietrunner was broken, but she healed quickly, promising not to get attached to any others. Her parents retired to the elders' den, being much older than the other warriors, and she didn't mind it at all. She visited often.

When Quietrunner was twenty-five moons old, she got a kind and obedient apprentice named Cherrypaw. He was a good apprentice and she enjoyed training him, though it didn't look like it.

When Quietrunner was twenty-eight moons old, a warrior named Coralswipe invited her on hunting patrol. She was a haughty, hot-headed and young warrior, so she had a little fun with her on the patrol and when she caught a crab she threw it at her. Nice going. They caught a rabbit together as well, then hunted some more. They went back to camp, ate, and then Quietrunner went to visit her parents in the elders' den before bed.

Coralswipe's apprentice Kelppaw came to the elders' den as well, to get away from her mentor who she didn't get along with and to hear some stories as well. Sandyleap let her listen and told the story of Seastar and how Seaclan came to be. Quietrunner grew fond of Kelppaw, admiring her curiosity and cheerful nature. After the story Coralswipe crashed the party and took Kelppaw away to the moonhigh hunting patrol. Moonflight yelled at her, but she left with her apprentice anyways.

Unaware she was getting attached to Kelppaw because she reminded her of Jasminesplash so much, she said she was going to come along to the patrol as well. She talked a bit more to Kelppaw to lift her spirits a bit, and told her Coralswipe wasn't being a very good mentor. This escalated into a small fight and Quietrunner took Kelppaw to hunt with her, leaving Coralswipe alone.

The two cats went to a pond to hunt, but Quietrunner's mind gradually got plagued with guilty thoughts. Eventually it overwhelmed her and she hadn't experienced such thoughts in a long time, so to make it stop she went to apologize. She didn't know Kelppaw followed silently, though.

Quietrunner timidly made her way over to Coralswipe and apologized, but like the jerk she was, Coralswipe replied that she had to thank Quietrunner for taking her boring, and no-personality apprentice. This pushed Quietrunner over the edge, because she had grown quite close to the young she-cat now, and she shouted at Coralswipe. Being the hot-head she was, Coralswipe launched herself at Quietrunner to attack, but Kelppaw jumped in front of Quietrunner, who was turning around now, and took the blow. Since she was younger and it hit her around her chest, she was bleeding quite a lot already.

Quietrunner, horrified, called her a murderer but helped her get Kelppaw back to camp and in the medicine den anyways. She was crying at this point, which she hadn't done ever since Jasminesplash died. She couldn't lose Kelppaw. She was the only cat that was remotely close to her, besides her parents, and it was like losing her sister all over again.

She stopped crying and was eerily hollow now, as she went to wash the blood off of her paws. It took a while for Kelppaw to come around again, but she was looking a bit better in the medicine den and Quietrunner visited her often. Whenever Coralswipe came at the same time, she was silently hostile, but didn't do anything so Kelppaw wouldn't have to see it.

One day when she was in the medicine den with Kelppaw, she showed interest in her apprentice and his sister, so she fetched Boysenberrypaw, Cherrypaw's sister, for her and just chilled out for the rest of the day.

When she was twenty-nine moons old, she helped Sandstar and some other warriors fight off some dogs that had attacked Sparkcharge and his apprentice.

When she was thirty moons old, she participated in Lavenderflight and Mistysight's wedding, and after the marriage, there was a feast held. When she saw Coralswipe, sitting alone, she felt a bit bad and decided now was not the time for hostility. She left Coralswipe some prey though, and just vibed the rest of the wedding.

When she was thirty-two moons old, she held a joint training session with Sparkcharge and his apprentice Turtlepaw, along with her apprentice Cherrypaw. Everything went well so far, but both apprentices got injured while the sparring section was in session, and they had to postpone it. The apprentices healed fine though, and they finished up the assessment. Turtlepaw and Cherrypaw were made warriors, and were named Turtlespring and Cherrycheek. She was proud of Cherrycheek, and congratulated him for a few minutes before just vibing the rest of the day.

A few days after the warrior ceremony, a sudden fight broke out between Cherrycheek and Coralswipe, which she was taken aback by. This was about a young warrior named Salmonspots helping Kelppaw sneak out to help her have some fun, but she ended up reopening her injury and Coralswipe yelled at her, and was being pretty hostile at her and very fussy about Kelppaw. Cherrycheek had confronted Coralswipe about it, and it had escalated into a claws-out fight. Cherrycheek ended up breaking his nose and being sent to the medicine den, which both Kelppaw and Quietrunner were not happy about. Coralswipe ended up attacking Quietrunner and dealing a heavy and fatal blow to her chest.

With her dying breath, she reassured Kelppaw she was going to be okay, and died in her paws that day. She watched from Starclan proudly as Kelppaw was made a warrior, with the name honoring her death, Kelprunner.

## Other

### Other Info

* Quietrunner's voice claim is Garnet from Steven Universe. Another good one could be April from Parks and Rec, but I think it's too young and not really like Quietrunner's personality.
* I was actually planning for Quietrunner to die, so I just took advantage of the situation in the roleplay and killed her. Bye, Quietrunner.
