Glitch

Leader

## Appearance

Glitch is a chimera cat, so she technically has two appearances. Her left side is pure black, with everything from the left side of her nose to her left hind paw completely black. Her whiskers are a mix of white and black on this side, along with a frosty blue eye. Her right side, however, has ginger and cream fur mixed in a tabby pattern. Her eye on the right side has hints of green, amber and yellow, though is mostly yellow. Her ears are mostly the main fur color on that side with hints of the other color on the edges (On the left side it's mostly black with hints of ginger. On the right side it's mostly ginger with edges of black.) She has a pale pink tongue and pink paw pads on the right. On the left, her paw pads are black. Her claws are sharper than usually, due to the fact that in her usual grooming routine she'll typically include her own method of sharpening them via either her own teeth or by stone. She's typically well-groomed and sleek, despite not being quite right in the head, she still finds a place in her life for appearance. Her tail is a fusion of the two colors, which go up her tail in a spiral.

## Brief History

Glitch was born to two fluffy, pampered kittypets. She was quickly cast out due to her appearance- her parents deeming her "too ugly" to be raised under their perfect paws.

She was taken in by Blackfern- a ShadowClan cat whom had been cast out by the clans. Blackfern taught her to hate the clans, and when she died, Glitch's ambition became tenfold.

Glitch joined the Dark Forest when she died, later even becoming a cat of the Aspguard.

She was slain by Littleoat of the Council of Nine, leaving her with wounds though to end the other she-cat as well. She was later brought back by Sulfurstar, and owes her life to him, therefore her loyalty is completely solid to him.

Later, Glitch decided she'd had enough of Sulfurstar's reign, and at a gathering betrayed him; taking over as the new leader.

## Detailed History

### Kithood

This small, fluffy chimera cat was born in the small village to Apricot and Crow. These parents were incredibly picky, both having been raised by a fairly rich family who gave the pair everything they wanted. So as they'd known nothing else, when they had a litter of three, Lilac, the ginger tabby she-cat, Panther, the black tom, and a strange, half-orange, half-black she-cat, their first instinct which they acted upon, was to throw out the flaw in the litter.

Glitch was hardly days old when Crow left her in a drain pipe with drops of freezing water along the sides. Glitch was half-dead when she was found by Blackfern- a former warrior of ShadowClan, who left of her own choice in the night due to her developed hatred of the clans. Whatever Blackfern saw in Glitch, she never told, but she brought Glitch back to the small den she'd made home. The older she-cat had recently had a litter of kits, two, who both died stillborn, therefore having milk to provide Glitch with. It was then that Glitch received her name- Blackfern thought that it was appropriate, considering the she-kit's appearance. A "glitch" in her DNA. Though, Blackfern never considered her appearance a flaw, unlike her real parents.

### Apprentice Age

Glitch was trained very early on by Blackfern. They would patrol the village together, scaring and even scarring kittypets. Glitch came to enjoy these walks with Blackfern. Bloodlust was never something that she had questioned in her life- it had just been, the only path she was ever offered. Blackfern acted as the "mother" part in Glitch's life, even accepting being acknowledged as "Mom". Though, once Glitch was about to understand it, Blackfern informed her of her real parents. At this time, Glitch shrugged it off, Blackfern was the only family she needed. Blackfern was prickly, but Glitch managed to tiptoe around her nerves through smart words and careful actions.

At this time, Glitch was being trained to hunt and fight. Blackfern used training methods similar to the clans'.. but pushed it. She took the training to a new more *extreme* level. Similar to Dark Forest fighting. Blackfern would have her attack random strays and kittypets, making her beat them to a level where they would *beg* for her mercy, and she would offer no such thing. Blackfern would always call her off before the kill, though, never allowing the she-cat to deliver a final blow.

### Warrior Age

When Glitch turned around 14 moons, Blackfern allowed her to take her first kill. A light brown tom, whom Glitch delivered a killing blow to his neck. She later discovered his name was Dusty, though she was.. too far gone into the darkness to feel much anymore. Now, her kill only drove her further. She started to crave it. Crave testing the hold of life and death she had upon a cat.

Of course, the path of life is never straight. Blackfern died when Glitch was around 22 moons, mysteriously. Glitch found her body by the clan border, and an unfortunate clan cat was passing by at that time. A sudden outburst of rage overtook her better judgement and she left the cat bleeding horribly by the border, body mangled, ripped and torn. She never knew if they'd been the one to take Blackfern's life.. nor did she longer care. Her insanity increased tenfold, as did her bloodlust. No amount of death would pay for the hole that she had in her heart. It stopped becoming out of rage, and simply out of her own.. testing. Pushing the boundaries of how far a cat could go with injuries till they died. Toying with cats that strayed too far. "Accidents" by the clan borders.

### Death Date (Part One)

Glitch died in a battle which she was seriously at a disadvantage. A thunderstorm where she had greatly miscalculated her odds and the battle in general. She died at the paws of a clan cat whom she never saw the face of, being it was dark and raining, but based on the voice, she knew it was a tom. She awoke in the Dark Forest, quickly learning the ways of this mysterious forest and adapting accordingly.

### Aspguard Life

Glitch met Sulfurstar a few moons or so after joining the Dark Forest. They chatted for a little while, and walked- somehow knowing neither was going to hurt the other. Sulfurstar proposed something to her after a little while; he was building an Aspguard for the Dark Forest. He offered her a position, and Glitch accepted. She then took on Cinderpaw of ThunderClan as an apprentice, manipulating her into thinking that this was "Special StarClan Training".

### Death Date (Part Two)

Glitch was patrolling the border with StarClan seeking nothing but mischief when she came across Littleoat of StarClan(Co9). The she-cats began to fight, and Littleoat ended up victorious, though died of her wounds.

### Resurrection

Sulfurstar resurrected Glitch using powers drawn from the depths of the Dark Forest. He then disguised her as Littleoat, who spoke on behalf of The Median during the gathering to help win her support. She owes her life to Sulfurstar, and her loyalty to him has increased tenfold. She personally defended Sulfurstar at the following gathering when he tried to end Widowstar. She now resides back in the Dark Forest, where she spoke to Brownpaw and took him on as her new project(apprentice). She promised to help him with new ways to fight and hunt with his leg, though omitted many details and merely told him in exchange he had to follow her instruction carefully and do what she said.

### Leader Life

On a gathering night, Glitch was informed of Sulfurstar's plans to strengthen his grip over the clans by claiming the blame for the drought over the clans. However, Glitch merely acted as if she was 100% on board. She crept up behind him and just as he finished his speech, wounded him enough so he fell off the representative's rock. Shiningheart of the Council of Nine then stepped in, slaying Sulfurstar and giving Glitch a warning, which she paid no mind to and took over leadership of the Dark Forest. Then, to demonstrate her power, she took a life from each of the leaders; Hailstar, Perchstar, Rivuletstar, Fadingstar and Rosestar.
