The she-cat who took on this powerful prefix has an orange tabby coat with exotic yellow eyes. Her coat is short and coarse, generally streaked with dirt because she is a cat prone to getting dirt on herself. Firestripe is small in stature and thin, giving her the appearance of a cat that is flighty and tense.
PERSONALITY
Positive Traits: Disciplined and self controlled (on the outside), sometimes sociable, independent thinker
Friendly and energetic, though disciplined when she needs to be, and loyal to her friends and family
Flaws: Worrisome and insecure on the inside, requires change, can be wary and reserved
Sometimes, she doesn’t know when to shut her mouth and will accept most opinions (and make them her own) without questioning them. She likes to have a schedule, a way of doing things, and any cat that messes this up will see her sharp tongued side. With brings me to Silverflower’s last major fault: when angered, she generally does not physically harm a cat, but she’ll aim to hurt them with words.
Fears: To be hated by all and to lose herself.
Silverflower fears too much change and cats outside of the Clans.
Quirks: Firestripe doesn’t like rodents. She’ll eat them and gladly kill them, but she would rather not. Very difficult for a ThunderClanner. Along with that, she likes the water, and would swim more if RiverClan wasn’t so prickly about strange cats in the river.
Silverflower always has to show affection in twos. Two licks, two shoulder bumps and so on. She, too, loves water, though only in Leaf-bare, when it is very unwise to try and swim anyway. If the river isn’t frozen over, then.
Ideals: Firestripe honors independent thinkers and cats that are disciplined.
Silverflower honors cats that can be quite comedic and she also honors cleanliness.
Overall: Firestripe is a cat of secrets, in short. She fears being hated by all of the cats within the forest and so she puts up the disciplined self controlled act. Truthfully, it isn’t always an act. She is not one to run around and get dirty when she is…herself. But Firestripe is a worrisome creature on the inside and, obviously, quite insecure. After making her decision, she may ponder over it for some time, wondering if it was really the right one and if she should change it or not.
The ThunderClan she-cat also has issues with things being the same and limitations. She requires change. Without change, Firestripe would become incredibly bored and agitated.
Around other cats, Firestripe may be sociable, or she can be reserved and wary, ready to run at any moment. Generally, it depends on who else she is with (or if she is with anybody at all) and who she is speaking to.
Firestripe’s split personality: Silverflower. This she-cat is quite talkative and social; she loves to chat and will do so with any cat, unless they are outside of the Clans. She fears these creatures, thinking that they are deadly, and will turn tail and run at the very sight of them. She also fears a large amount of change- Silverflower is a cat that has a schedule: she wakes up, she grooms her pelt, she eats ONE mouse (it must be a mouse), and then she does whatever duties she must. If this schedule is changed in the slightest, Silverflower is sure to become sharp-tongued and agitated.
HISTORY
Family: Whitefeather
History: Firestripe was born to a fluffy white she-cat known as Whitefeather. The white queen choose not to name the father of her single kit litter and so Firestripe grew up as an only kit with only a mother. Her kithood was normal, in a sense. She scuffled with her mother, but she did not interact with many cats besides elders, apprentices, and her mother. But Firestripe was not a normal kit. At six moons of age, she yelled at her mentor, Oakclaw, for referring to her as Firepaw, insisting that her name was Silverpaw. The confused tom made his apprentice clean out all the dens. Even after that, she wished to be called Silverpaw. He humored her for the sake of getting her into the medicine cat’s den, but nothing physically wrong could be found on the orange tabby.
When Firestripe was ten moons old, Silverflower appeared once more, for three entire days. She was quite aware of the change this time, but acted as if it had never happened, as if she hadn’t forced cats to address her as Silverpaw, as if she hadn’t completely changed personalities. (As if she hadn’t dove into the river when Leaf-bare was setting on the forest, earning herself a scolding from her mentor)
This change continued on and Firestripe was held back from becoming a warrior until she was 13 moons and rescued Oakclaw from the river. Sadly, the tom died, but he managed to see his apprentice become a warrior. When she came to visit him, she acted different once more, and when he murmured her warrior name, the she-cat shook her head, “I am Silverflower,” she had told the tom before he passed on. Two moons after that, Whitefeather died from infection.
The change still continues on. Within the body of a single cat lives Firestripe and Silverflower.
